Cincinnati Bengals' Willie Anderson Jumps Into Music Industry

Posted Aug 6th 2008 7:28AM by Quibian Salazar-Moreno
Filed under: Casually Obsessed

And another one. Cincinnati Bengals' offensive tackle Willie Anderson is the latest athlete to jump into the music business by launching a record label. This week Anderson announced that he's launching Think Big Entertainment, a company that not only focuses on music, but film as well.

"While football is my first love, music and film are a close second," Anderson said in a statement. "But the first businesses I started were the 20 Fat Burger franchise licenses I've acquired throughout Atlanta and Cincinnati. Now that I've gotten a number of them up and running I can concentrate on making my dream come true by building a successful entertainment company."

Anderson's first signing is 19-year old rapper, G-Fiive, out of Mobile, Alabama. His first single, "Spotlight" features Bobby Valentino and is already making the rounds in the streets and web.

"G-Fiive is a natural entertainer and I wanted to hone in on his ability and perfect it," Anderson said. "We feel development is the key element to success. The goal is to saturate the Internet as well as the streets with G-Fiive's presence while gradually bringing awareness to the mainstream. Once this is established we will utilize the film arm of the company and give G-Fiive the visual affects he needs from video to short films."

You can get a taste of G-Fiive's music at his MySpace page, http://www.myspace.com/younggonline. It basically sounds like something that you would hear come from Bow Wow or Lil Romeo.

3. The Cincinnati Bengals , as a professional team of NFL, is one of the major teams that have fans all around the world. It’s quite normal if Cincinnati Bengals are so pricy because such worth any price. It doesn’t matter if we pay a respected amount of money for Bengals tickets because we satisfy our eagerness to watch good games and more than that, when we get Cincinnati Bengals ticket , It’s because we love this team. Thus, Cincinnati Bengals tickets prices will never be a problem for a real fan of the team.
