Will Yablum is much more then just a Bakersfield College student.
Yablum is a promoter for a local rapper named Chris Clark, who goes by his stage name Nutzo.
Nutzo is the founder of a group called “The Movement”.
“It’s called ‘The Movement’ because we are trying to change the outlook of rap and hip-hip music. Nutzo doesn’t rap about cars and money. Nutzo raps about his life and stuff he lives through.” Yablum explained.
“I started ‘The Movement’ instead of signing with a record label because the rap game nowadays is full of producers looking for already made products. I want to start my own company and become a ready-made product.” Nutzo said.
Yablum was going from foster home to foster home when he came across Nutzo.
“He was working at foster care and I was on probation. We became friends and now I’m his promoter.” Yablum said.
Nutzo said, “Will is my promoter because I see potential in him and he has the potential to do anything he wants. He has a few career opportunities, but he needs to find them.”
Nutzo doesn’t only rap around California. He also works at Foothill High School teaching second language learners how to speak English.
“I like that job because most of the teachers won’t take time out of their day to actually teach the Hispanics and other second language learners how to speak English. Someone has to do it.”
Both Yablum and Nutzo have some pretty high hopes about themselves and “The Movement.”
“I see myself already on the top in 5-10 years from now.” Nutzo said.
Nutzo wants to be like Dr. Dre and find someone himself.
“I’m not here to sign rappers to ‘The Movement.’ I am my own person and I will find someone myself.” Nutzo said.
