K.O.R. Enterprises Inc. Creating an Entertainment Hub in Chicago.

Jan. 1, 2012 - PRLog -- K.O.R. Enterprises will be bringing the music district back with Music, Fashion and Movies which will create "The Entertainment Hub" by partnering with the City of Chicago.  

Chase stated, "There are over 2.7 million Chicago residents, and if you pull the top 3 cities that help artist become successful, you will see that Chicago is one out of the three cities. So why don't we have multiple Entertainment firms for Urban, Pop or Latin? Because we want things handed to us, we rather try to attempt, but when the tough gets going the firms or artist start leaving or stop believing.  Many artists, as well as actors have had to leave Chicago in order to make it in there own careers, and they were successful because they left.  I am determined to break this Billy Goat Curse, if you don't know what this statement means, please Google. Chicagoan's know what this is about, so in other words the Cubs will win another World Series and Chicago will be known as a major entertainment hub for music, fashion and movies."

RMC Media: "How are you going to break the curse?"  

Chase responded, "It is easy. We need to just stop listening to the critics and focus on the task at hand, which is to build an entertainment firm with artist(s) who are not afraid to stand up for what they believe in, and that belief is that Chicago will be the next  Mecca of music, fashion and movies. This sounds simple, and it is. We don't have time to focus on the negative or negative reviews, rather we need to focus on the community.  Building a community to assist others and the less fortunate and give them hope for a better tomorrow."

RMC Media: "Who is Kros-Over Records Enterprises Inc.?"

Chase: "K.O.R.E is comprised of myself, my Co-Partner and a team of four."
