had and hopefully people coming from the bottom will be inspired by my story and ‘say you know what, if P made it out of those conditions I can too!’”. Master P felt it was necessary to share his testimony so that others may understand the good and the bad side of building pretty much anything in life. The owner of Rap Snacks, goes into the details of how his hardships assisted in paving the way for his success and why we must not give up on our dreams. “You gotta pick up the pieces and move forward”, Miller proclaims as he gives me solid advice on how to deal with the unexpected downfalls in life. Percy Miller, along with his brother, were raised by their grandparents in the projects separated from their other siblings. He briefly touches on some of his hardships that will be laid out on the docuseries such as the loss of loved ones and how he had to persevere through those moments in order to keep moving towards the bigger vision of No Limit Records and “leaving no man behind”, sort of speak.

If we are to judge a man by his actions and not by his words, then Master P has successfully displayed that he fits in the armor of a leader that is necessary for our time. Master P genuinely makes statements like “I’m like an open book , I want my people to understand that whatever I can give to them I’m going to give it to them.” As a true spiritually led man, P is a humble man that makes every move intentionally and calculated. A true example of this was his humble approach of dialing me directly to have a one on one conversation without the thought of blocking his number. The conversation started with a calm “Hi, how you doing today?” waiting for me to answer and then replying, “That’s good, this is Master P,” as I gathered my thoughts from answering an unsaved number (which I, like many others, usually forward to voicemail). Master P taught me my first lesson: always answer the call because you never know who God has for you on the other line. Be ready! Be available! Before going straight into a more professional setting for the interview, without rushing, we began to chat for a while like friends sharing laughs and advice as we discussed anything I brought up, without hesitation. P then goes on to invite me to contact him directly for further information on his programs available for our young boys and girls across the nation. That’s a leader; ‘Some Field Marshal ish.’

A leader should set examples for others to follow, “we can fight in the streets or we can play chess,” He exclaims. I find the pathway that Master P has paved for himself and others (starting with his sons and family) took sacrifice and may have had many challenges. However, from the looks of it he’s made the ‘how to’ so simple that anyone can do it. I asked, “Why is there such a cry for a leader in our time when it seems they are evident and very present?” Master P responds, “Back in the day we had leaders like Martin Luther King and Muhammad Ali. We knew who they were…today you can’t have just one person standout.” He continues, “They [Today’s Leaders] get drowned out by social media. You have so many with opinions now you can’t say ‘this is our guide’.” Showing how difficult it is to identify leaders because of the distractions of what seems like ‘False Profits’ being present. He went on to mention that, “Even now during the protesting, they don’t know who to follow”.

Returning to the premiere of No Limit Chronicles, I asked Master P, “Why now? Why is it important to release the docuseries on July 29th?” He answered, “July 29th, is officially ‘National Soldier’s Day’; It’s all camo, you gotta wear all camo!” requesting that we all post on social media watching the premier in our ‘camo’ (camouflage). In conclusion of our conversation he wanted to advise people at home right now, “We all have 24 hours. Invest in you. This is a time to start something. If you survive this [COVID/Quarantine] you should be prepared to create something for you and your family. Create a brand, a product or something!”

Tune in to BET with all of your ‘CAMO’ on this Wednesday, July 29th at 9P.M. as we continue the positive exposure of successful black men and women. Also, to witness the importance of testimony and being your own boss!
