# # A New Chapter: The Evolution of the Hip Step Sound
Today, I am officially announcing the release and rebranding of the music and sound I originated.
**Hip Step** is a genre of music—no different than hip-hop. It was created from vision, experience, culture, and a commitment to pushing sound beyond boundaries. From this day forward, the music will move forward under a new banner: **HardKore**.
Hip Step was designed with outer rings: the **Hip Step Massive**, our fan club and community, has always been an important part of that foundation.
Everyone is still welcome to be a part of the Massive and share in the culture, energy, and legacy.
“I am still a stakeholder in Hip Step Massive LLC”.
Thats carved in stone
Any business, I fund and or co-fund itself must remain focused, structured, and built to move the work forward.
I am the sole creator and architect of the Hip Step Ragga Jungle sound.
I have put in the live shows, studio work, production, funding, videos, and years of dedication required to build this movement.
When TC Islam was alive, he contributed through live performances, studio work, and his presence in the culture.
His contribution is part of our shared history, and the Hip Step Massive will always recognize that legacy. At the same time, I must continue to move forward with the work, the sound, and the next sbusiness I have built.
I now have a new generation of artists that I am producing and preparing to release. This evolution gives me the opportunity to invest in them, develop their talent, and provide opportunities just as I have done for TC Izlam, Dj Unk and several other collaborators throughout my career.
My parent company is **New World Entertainment**—not Old World Entertainment. We are entering a new realm of music, business, and entertainment. This is not a nonprofit organization or a social club. This is an entertainment company, and we are here to build, create, earn, and keep people entertained in the process.
I thank everyone who has supported the journey throughout the years. I hope you enjoy the variety of sounds, artists, events, and entertainment we are preparing to bring forward.
Is this the end of Hip Step? In some ways, yes. In other ways, no—because I am the sound. I am the architect. Hip Step Massive will always be part of our past and our legacy, but **HardKore is the future**.
This is not simply an ending. It is a new beginning, a new chapter, and the next evolution of the sound. Every branch is original.
At the beginning of the new year, I will announce our board of directors, along with upcoming events, releases, and projects currently in development.
**HardKore has arrived.**
