News: Dallas’ Queen Ms.K Recognized As 1st Black Muslim Woman To Own Hip Hop Record Label

Khalilah “Queen Ms. K” Washington becomes 1st African American Muslim woman to own and operate a Hip Hop Record label.

“We are pro-artists always; Neo Gold is more than music. We stand and thrive on mental health and wellness, non-violence, and provide effective tools to ensure artists own their own power and deserved shine.”

Neo Gold Entertainment/Music Group LLC is a movement built on faith, legacy, and vision, driven by Khalilah “Queen Ms. K.” Fueled by her love for the culture, she has cultivated a label with a foundation based on three imperative pillars.

Mental Health Advocacy – breaking down stigmas and promoting wellness in an emotionally tolling industry.

Anti-Violence – utilizing music as a tool for peace, healing, and empowerment.

Purpose-Driven Artist Development – guiding talent to succeed and to evolve as individuals, artists, creators, and leaders.

Breathing and living these core elements, Ms. K is breaking barriers and reshaping an age-old narrative in Hip Hop.  “Through Neo Gold Entertainment/Music Group LLC, I’m here to show the world what the culture can become when it’s rooted in community and consciousness.”

In 2016, Khalilah “Queen Ms. K” launched Neo Gold Entertainment/Music Group LLC, which focused on management, development, bookings, talent searching, and more. This derived from her role as publicist and radio personality back in 2015 where she interviewed a plethora of music and industry icons on her show Queen’s Corner with Ms. K. Guests included Angie Stone, Xscape, Force MDs, Rakim, EPMD, Smif-N-Wessun, Craig G, Mr. Cheeks, Cutlord Swift, and that’s only naming a few. However, it was her time invested in indie artists and entertainers that ignited the flame to launch a record label.

“As a Black Muslim woman, my presence alone challenges stereotypes, but my ownership and impact go further paving a new lane for Muslim women in entertainment. I didn’t wait for access, rather, I built the infrastructure, opening doors that will allow others to walk through and push my legacy forward.”
