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.”

WORCESTER – As a city at the almost literal center of Massachusetts, Worcester became an entertainment center in the late 1800’s as touring shows, bands and orchestras would travel from Boston to Springfield or vice versa with a stopover in Worcester. The 1920’s saw the rise of a bustling music and jazz scene in the city, exporting such famous people as pianist/composer Cole Porter, jazz drummer Frank Capp, and pianist/composer Jaki Bayrd. As the manufacturing industry attracted African Americans from the south, Worcester became a stopping point for blues, soul and R&B performers touring the northern leg of the Chitlin Circuit. The opening of the Worcester Centrum in the 1980’s made Worcester a stopping point for major concerts and tours, as promoters found the city more welcoming than arenas in Boston. Being in reachable proximity from Boston, Providence and Springfield, the venue steadily drew audiences from all three areas. With Worcester as a home to several live music venues of various sizes, and a homegrown audience of multi-genre music enthusiasts, it is of little surprise that Worcester has a growing reputation as a “Showcase” city, where music industry executives and concert promoters frequently come to scope out new talent. TM Lewis, Event Planner and A&R Consultant TM Lewis explains how she got her start as an A&R Consultant. “After a few years of promoting shows and events in Worcester, I came to know a lot of the folks from the industry,” explains TM Lewis, “I would sometimes give them leads on up-and-coming talent in the area and pretty soon I developed a reputation for having a good ear for talent.” Pretty soon, labels began contracting me to scope out a lead or a show that came to town.” This brought her to the attention of the UMG distributed hip-hop label, Up North Records, where Ms. Lewis became an A&R Director and eventually the Booking Agent for the label’s roster of artists. TM Lewis & Associates are proud to be based in Worcester, where they are helping to re-invigorate the soul music scene in the city, catering to the grown & sexy crowd. Ms. Lewis is particularly interested in creating a platform for New England based artists and companies to reach the larger regional and national markets. With a growing number of independent artists and record labels looking to expand their markets and looking to Worcester and a location to develop their sound and establish a fanbase; for the music industry and music fans alike, TM Lewis & Associates is the company to watch. TM Lewis & Associate CEO Wins Award from Women in Action, Inc TM Lewis, WIA Honoree and Award Recipient TM Lewis to be honored at the 6th Annual Small Business & Entrepreneurs Award Ceremony in Worcester. Women In Action, Inc. will be hosting its 6th Annual Small Business & Entrepreneurs Award Ceremony on January 20th, 2018, at the Worcester Public Library, 3 Salem Square, Worcester, MA.

The renowned and well-respected Dr. EnQi is back with yet another informative, must-read article educating the masses on the Enqi Cycle. He also discusses melanin and water and how they power our cells. Tap in below for the full article.
Enqis Cycle or Water Melanin Cycle is being positioned as the Primary reaction sequence in biochemistry. If this is true this may be the most important discovery of the Century. Water and Melanin function as coupled crystal oscillators in a tesla coil or maybe it may be easier for you to see them as one super biological resonant circuit where the Coherent Domain in water functions as a pseudo capacitor and the melanin functions as a pseudo inductor. Sound and Mechanical waves were the primary sources of energy that early cellular water used to create free “electrons” for biochemistry.
WATER HAD TO CREATE ITS OWN CELLULAR ENERGY TO POWER BIOCHEMISTRY BEFORE ALL OF THE COMPLEX CELLULAR ARCHITECTURE. Sound was the only abundant source of energy for that job and the relationship of water to sound and sound to the development of proteins has been completely overlooked in WESTERN SCIENCE AND WESTERN PHILOSOPHY. That may be the biggest mistake ever made in science at least in terms of biology (LIVING BIOCHEMISTRY), we must realize that all life was built around that relationship of sound and water. The reason we mention the name Nikola Tesla is that he stood alone in his focus on developing science thru sound (scalar waves), so here I will loosely quote him discussing the “goofy” guys of his time “you may have won today BUT THE FUTURE IS MINE”. The future is our family!
You are definitely correct if you are thinking “If EnQi is right then all of our known biochemistry must shift”! The answers are in every textbook and article written on The Krebs Cycle, The Citric Acid Cycle, The Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle, and the Pentose Phosphate Pathway. All of the above have been written without the role of Melanin as an oversight or because of scientific racism, either way, THE BOOKS MUST BE RE-WRITTEN AND YOU ARE AT THE START OF THAT!
Eumelanin Pigment (Amorphous Carbon Protein Like Compound) gave cells an advantage in producing energy for the cell however, this increase ran by increasing the speed at which water molecules could separate and create spin. Hydrogen Gas and free electrons have gone unnoticed primarily because the ability of cells to harness this energy relies on Melanin and also because the internal conditions must be right to produce the energy as well as utilize this pathway. This energy system is unlike the FOOD (carbon bond chain) BASED a.t.p. production, where all that is required is food. This newly discovered system is actually hindered by food more specifically sugar or sweet carbohydrates, the system is even hindered by lacking peace of mind.
This factor of foodstuffs and stress to hinder the primary system combined with the “fluid” nature of melanin’s structure and black hole-like nature, have kept this ancient primary energy system well hidden until now. We believe this system may be stimulated or modulated by Beta Endorphin.
We based our understanding of the hierarchy not only on the Geometry of the Cell and the ability of Melanin to facilitate the Structure of Water into “cytoplasm” but also on the relationship of NAD. Melanin can literally feed and regulate the Mitochondria in the absence of “Food”.
Melanin has been demonstrated to have a 400% increase in ability to reduce NADH after being “charged” by Light including Ionizing Radiation. It is my guess that melanin is responsible for our cells “capturing” Mitochondria in the first place, I believe Melanin’s ability to feed Mitochondria directly is what made our cells a suitable home for our guest to fall in love with and never want to leave.
Cortisol has a negative effect on the EnQi Cycle so we theorize that stress in Anti EnQi Cycle and that Love is Pro EnQi Cycle. Love and Laughter seem to promote Beta Endorphin which in turn seems to activate Melanin just like Sunlight. We theorize that when you are studying a subject you really passionate about, playing with your children, having amazing sex, enjoying a great workout, or any other activity that you get wrapped up into that seems to make the time fly, you have activated the Enqi Cycle.
Cancer Research on Mitochondria must stop immediately and divert money to understanding the relationship of Melanin, Melanosomes, and Melanocytes to the function of Mitochondria and the homeostasis of the nucleus. Really the list of associated sciences that must change is too lengthy to put here!!! Just think mtDNA & nDNA depend on Melanin to function, WTF!!!! Melanin regulates the ENTIRE IMMUNE SYSTEM via NAD to NRF2 and all of the Anti Aging science that revolves around Sirtuins…. yeah Sirtuins are regulated via NAD. I want a Nobel Peace Prize for this work but I’ll settle for steady cash apps lol…
Keep this in mind if you wanna imagine the magnitude of Racism in science, NRF2 controls over 1000 genes turning on or off, if these are regulated by melanin in the cell can you imagine how many babies are born with defects, how many people are told they have a genetic disease that can’t be cured because science is so racist they will turn a blind eye to the controller of these genes.
Vitamin B3 is credited with being able to reverse age, change health, restore energy levels, etc… but it’s listed as an energy carrier this should’ve prompted people to wanna know what’s behind B3. Sidebar we use Purple Phaze for B3 and many many other melanogenic properties.
We further theorize that the well-known FORGOTTEN MEAL SYNDROME where you are so high energy, in such good spirits, and absorbed in what you are doing is simply because you are pulling energy from the Enqi Cycle. We surmise that this Forgotten Meal Syndrome is also a part of the Time Flys Syndrome where we lose track of time because we are so locked into what we are doing. Yes, we can and many of us have forgotten to eat and lost track of time due to stress, infection, depression, drugs, alcohol, etc… HOWEVER WE ALSO REMEMBER BEING CHILDREN AND PLAYING OUTSIDE, OR OUR FAVORITE GAME, OR AS ADULTS JUST LOCKED INTO THE PASSION OF SOMETHING WE LOVE…
LOSING TRACK OF TIME AND FORGETTING TO EAT IN THE LIGHT OF LOVE & LAUGHTER, IS OUR BODY’S ANCIENT ENERGY SYSTEM. THIS IS A LARGE PART OF OUR BODY’S ANCIENT HEALING SYSTEM.
Fear and Stress are ancient bad guys that are associated with the Food system, Lack is their child. Love and Laughter are the ancient good guys and Abundance is their child. Knowing and Intuition are a way of living your life just as much as Fear of the Unknown is a way of living, the choice is yours however so too is the associated BIOCHEMISTRY NEUROCHEMISTRY that comes with each Choice.
We want to also impress upon you that THE ENQI CYCLE is also the science behind how WORDS & THOUGHTS affect BLACK PEOPLE more than anyone else. We are more emotional because melanin controls our Reward and Emotional centers in the brain, water absorbs words and thoughts and then translates them into our Melanin system. This Advanced Pigment System makes us more vulnerable to sound and light as well as opioid, cocaine, and sugar addiction.
