Melissa Arnette Elliott


Melissa Arnette Elliott

By NaQuila Hardy

Better known as Missy “Misdemeanor” Elliott was born July 1, 1971. At the age 4 she always knew that she wanted to be a performer. Melissa had an unfortunate fate of abuse in her early childhood because of selfish acts due to a close family member.

That didn’t stop Missy from having tested to have a very high IQ in school. This allowed her to jump two years ahead of her class, but Elliott wasn’t satisfied with this so she purposely failed to get back with her peers.

In 1990 Elliott got the chance to form an R&B group called Fayze. In 1991 the group captured the attention of Jodeci member and producer DeVante Swing. Fayze then later moved to New York City signing to Elektra Records through DeVante Swing Mob imprint.

Elliott then became very successful having two album runs in 1996 with Aaliyah and Genuwine as a song writer and producer. There have been various artists that Missy has produced for throughout the years.

Missy has a diverse and unique style to music as is a melting pot to a community. Being blessed with all of this allowed her to have a remarkable sale of records in the U.S., maintaining six albums that were certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.

The Mythology of NaQuila the Prophetess


The Mythology of NaQuila the Prophetess

She’s said to be Stackz Gotti, NaQuila L. Hardy is connected with the Gambino’s through the infamous Frank Paul Gambino. Frank Paul Gambino formed the band Capstone Zulu as a solo act. Late in his career he hooked up with NaQuila L. Hardy who started doing vocals for the band Capstone Zulu; not long after she went as a solo act with the name aka Stackz Gotti, in the prime of her career. After requesting the blessings of Victoria Gotti and the Gotti Family, unlike some people who went public with it…
…NaQuila Hardy aka Stackz Gotti is the Female Gotti aka Stackz 2020. Exploding onto the scene with a hot new brand new album called “I Am Me.” Still with the band Capstone Zulu in the background doing the music, she shines and sizzles with songs such a sizzling list of songs such as “Find Cure, cure AIDS”, [billed to be the International AIDS anthem] and other political stuff like, ”The Consumer”, and even tells jokes on, “Not on my computer.” For NaQuila it is just the beginning under a new light and the Gambino umbrella.
NaQuila Hardy was the prophetess through the life experience. She was a former member of the Young Money entourage, now a member of Community Activism, and pro community works, she thrives on helping people. But Prophetess NaQuila paid her due and was mistreated and abused. Full of anger she became close to the Capstone Zulu and found it in her heart to forgive. This was the secret that oppressed her for many years, she was angry with the world that was already hers. Because of this arrangement in the destiny, she had to let go and let God.
The Mythology of NaQuila Hardy aka Stackz Gotti is that she has to once again become one with the Universal God, who is not Universal Records. Why? Because she is one with the World! The question then is posed; will NaQuila find her oneness or become angry and bitter?

NaQuila Shops Record Deal & Gambino has Concerns


NaQuila Shops Record Deal & Gambino has Concerns

Stackz2020 & Female Gotti aka NaQuila shops for a record deal. Gambino Productions and NaQuila have a tentative agreement to record 100 songs, 20 of which have been completed. There is a disagreement on how the shopping is being done. Gambino Productions wants more involvement in the process and refuses to play the role as a hand in something so potentially corrupt. Gambino Productions feels that there are too many unscrupulous business people in the record industry, who are out to beat an un-established artist with dreams?
“I am not a hater I am a congratulator,’ says Frank. I want the best for NaQuila, but I know nothing is free in the Industry.’ ‘Everybody is out to make a buck on the backs of others. In what I feel is supposed to be a partnership I refused to be used because she enjoys putting her trust in strangers. Let us face it with the World Wide Web people can pose to be things they are not. They can claim to be affiliated with major labels and are not. They can put up fancy web sites and fool you and yet be no more established in the game as we are. I refused to get pimped by a stranger because NaQuila is hungry and naïve. I prefer she sue me first and have my day in court.”
NaQuila is weary of ReverbNation after the poor sales of the Capstone Zulu’s album the Apostle, which Gambino Productions clearly promoted as a BETA project, meaning it was a test, to explore the distribution networks available. Gambino and NaQuila personal relationship has grown into serious status and sometimes “business and personal relations have flaws, whereby love and trust supersedes inking the deal until things go sour,” says Frank. And with other immediate financial concerns everything is at a stand still anyway. In the business of music relationship a lot depends on how this (her) current project is handled from both sides.
Personally I think the project is an excellent one for a first, which represents something very provocative. It was designed to be a head turner more that a million sellers, which would introduce her as a serious artist. Yes she is working on her business degree, but I have two degrees already, one in Paralegal studies and one in management. I am trying to get my non profit organization off of the floor as she is working closely with her career. But if I smell a fish and sense something wrong and you ask for my advice take it or leave it, this is up to you. However I refuse to be a fool or pawn to a stranger and I can multitask, this is what I was trained to do.
The bottom line is I cannot micromanage NaQuila; it has to be on ink in order for my authority on matters to be official, as I can see. On the other hand Macro management is available until than. What I see is a fish that is fishing and headed for the big hook. If the intent of the big hook is good, she will be blessed but if he is a pander in disguise whose problem will it become? So if I say I smell a fish, I smell a fish and if that cannot be respected by any artist I work with, than what is my purpose and what is their intent? “As her Producer/Co writer, with potentially 80 songs to go, there has to be a level of business etiquette and it has to be fine tuned. I do not like the way things are being done” says Frank

NaQuila bka Female Gotti on the Rise watch out Nicki Minaj



NaQuila bka Female Gotti on the Rise watch out Nicki Minaj

Her name is NaQuila L. Hardy aka Stackz2020 & Female Gotti. A former member of the Young Money posse, who found a new home in Universal Music Group with a new Record Label name Involved Records, who is a subsidiary of the major label.

Her first single is about to be released in August 2010, the name of the song is “People Crying (Colors).” The song received the personal blessing of Ice T, who used a similar hook year ago in the soundtrack song from the movie “Colors.” The song is Gambino Production writing by NaQuila L. Hardy and Frank Paul Jones.

NaQuila and Frank are currently engaged in major negotiations with one of the largest nonprofit organizations in New York City known as SUS acronym for the Services for the Underserved. This organization has major influence in the nonprofit sector and does great work helping people with developmental disabilities, Mental Health problems and people living with AIDS to name a few of their services. There is a possibility that SUS may receive a donation that is a song anticipated to be the International Anthem for AIDS Research, which is also a Gambino Production performed by NaQuila and co-written by Frank Paul Jones & NaQuila L. Hardy.

Frank Paul Jones aka Gambino Productions is a personal friend of some of the high level executives at SUS, to include the CEO Donna Colonna and Senior vice President Priscilla Fuller who was his supervisor when employed at the Central Office of SUS in Manhattan, New York. And the Chief Development Officer David L. Hertz made Frank make a promise before leaving SUS for undisclosed reasons. He said, “Frank promise me someday you will make a donation to SUS.” Well Frank called David and said “I am broke, but I can give you a hot song by new hot artist.” And now it is all agreeing to terms.

Meanwhile, NaQuila is being played at the local clubs in South Central Florida to include the hottest club in Highlands County called the MiXx; where NaQuila has powerful and influential friends. NaQuila L. Hardy is turning heads as “she is to be taken seriously as an artist and is no Nicki Minaj” says the CEO of Involved Records Devon Gaithner. NaQuila has gained the personal attention, respect and blessing of the Gotti Family in the use of the name Female Gotti, unlike Rick Ross who is perpetrating a fraud.

So watch out Nicki Minaj there is a new high speed train traveling out of a small town called Avon Park, Florida that is about to reach out and touch the world. Why? Because the turn of time has come for her to shine!
