What We'll Use the Money For

Our initial goal is $1,200/month. This total plus income from our various hip hop yoga teaching endeavors, wellness events and retreats will keep UNDAKOVA sustainable in NYC. Right now, we’re creating art in a state of political urgency in a world that does not value the labor of artists, healers and visionary change-makers. We’re taking risks to shift the paradigm and your contribution large or small helps our family eat, pray and love. We’re also envisioning the future and the global expansion of your hip hop yoga enterprise, including offering fully funded residencies for artists at our Urban Mystery Skool in lower Manhattan, mass-producing our Hip Hop Kids Yoga curriculum, bringing thousands of people to our wellness events and travelling around the world to share our gifts fully. 

Here are UNDAKOVA costs:


Hosting. We need a robust enough hosting plan to support the highest spikes in traffic up to 25K visits a month.
Webdomain. UNDAKOVAenterprises.com or Hiphopyoga.com $99 a year.
MailChimp. Upleveling our Mailchimp service to access more fans with convenience and ease of use
Ongoing web development. Hiring an official web-developer to provide a reliable and professional polished website detailing all of our events, services, mission and vision
Video editing. Hiring a talented videographer with decent editing and social media skills on deck with a GoPro who will capture all of our events, performances, workshops and happenings at home and abroad. This offers our growing international online community a bird’s eye view of the magic we’re making instantaneously through short clips and videos posted regularly online 
Facebookpost "boosts" When we release new social media content on Instagram of Facebook it immediately gets included in 1/3 to 1/2 of our Facebook followers' News Feeds.
Me. I’m a householder with a beautiful family and growing 15 month old son that needs all the love, resources and material support I can provide and more. 
Portable Amplified System We need to update most of our systems, including purchase of a brand new state-of-the-art AMP we can use at wellness events, festivals, performances and more. Our community deserves the “high vibration” programming we deliver to fall smoothly on their ears. 

One employee. We need extra hands and hearts to handle things like social media marketing and the whole range of small business upkeep. This will free me up to do the real creative work that I am most good, nurture positive community networks in real time and raise my son. 

That's the basics. With those pieces covered, UNDAKOVA can support itself.

7 Reasons why becoming a member of Beat365 rocks.

As you already might know I go by the alias Undakova (Undercover) and I am beat maker, DJ and MC here in NYC. I have been producing hip hop beats since the 90s and have produced my own hip hop instrumentals for my album created here in New York City. I often get asked by R & B artist and MCs "Can you produce some beats for my album?" One day the question popped up in my head "Where does an artist find great sounding Hip hop, r&b and rap beats that sound so good you play them in your car for fun as well as record song after song with them?" If an artist doesn't have a friend or business partner who is a producer or know how to/ want to produce beats on there own spare time (which can take a lot of time and money) where does he/she find a complete collection of hip hop beats? Well the answer is simple. . . . To find Hip hop, r&b and rap beats that sound so good you play them in your car for fun as well as record song after song with them go to Beats365...

Can somebody say Amen

After a week of seeing different people come in our house and leave our house with smiles on there faces still our sublet process is not complete. I wake up today and meditate my stress's away. Well most of em. Yesterday I spent all day working on a proposal for a school in Washington heights who seem to be interested in having an after-school program formulated by my company Willpowa. Weeks went by and I spent my days working on music and completing songs in the studio only to leave the proposal writing up to a trusted friend and fellow mc. Suffice to say it never got completed due to my energy being scattered amongst recording and subleting my place. Not to mention being a good boyfriend through the process. So turns out my friends from the UK want to look over it this weekend so I will have to submit the proposal in a bit late anyhow but hopefully with more spunk than it had in the first place. Anyway lets just say the only thing that helped me from not having a nervous breakdow...
