Tony Draper
President of Black Music
As founder and CEO of the renowned hip hop label Suave House Records, Tony Draper tapped into southern culture and took a then marginalized sound to the top of the charts.

As hip-hop grew Draper's strategy for Suave House would become the blue print for a number of young entrepreneurs who would later seek his advice.
