Lil Bankhead met us at the door and took us upstairs, and when Lil Hot came in, in true LIL HOT fashion, the radio show turned into the "Lil Hot Show". His songs were broken on the spot, and it was a great big party.
But that's another story. The story here is about one of Lil Hot's biggest "littlest" fans....little Chase Sabari, an 8 year old boy who recognized Lil Hot outside of Colony Square. He immediately pointed out Lil Hot, and his excitement led to him scoring a picture with one of his favorite rappers.
Chase was out with his mom, Mrs. Shondia Sabari, on a "Mommy and Son Weekend" when they happened upon Lil Hot and the entire New Money Ent crew, The Celeb Status PR team of publicists, and Money By Da Pound Records. They'd spent the weekend relaxing at the W Hotel, ate succi at Shout, and had a day at Dave And Busters. Chase, an exceptionally talented 8 year old is in the third grade and reads on middle school level. He is very cultured and is in US KIDS GOLF (and a HUGE Tiger Woods fan). He also has mastered amateur music production! He's an exceptional kid.
He first learned of Lil Hot from his cousin who lives in South Carolina. His cousin follows the underground rap scene and the music of Independent Greats- Lil Hot Da Money Man being one of his favorites. Chase had seen Lil Hot once before in passing at Lenox Mall, but never got the opportunity to meet him face to face up until this point.
In addition to taking pics with Lil Hot, the two exchanged words. Lil Hot advised Chase to stay in school and to do his best, and guess what Chase advised Lil Hot??? "Yes, Sir, I will, and you stay on your grind". Mrs. Sabari later told me that Chase asked her, "Mommy, I know that I'll stay in school and do my best like Lil Hot told me. Do you think he'll take my advice and stay on his grind?". She responded, "Of course he will. He's Lil Hot Da Money Man". #Priceless
Per request, Celeb Status PR will provide "Lil Chase" a CD with all LIL HOT "CLEAN" versions of his songs and autographed materials for Chase to keep. In addition to that, Lil Hot plans on taking time out of his schedule to give little Chase a tour of New Money Entertainment studios and to show Chase how to work the equipment in a real studio, a wish that Chase has had for some time now. Be on the lookout...New Money Ent may just have found their youngest producer yet!
SPECIAL THANKS TO MRS. SHONDIA SABARI FOR PERMISSION TO POST THIS MATERIAL.

I really enjoyed writing this piece. Little Chase is such a great fan :)
I told Hot he was "industry" ready. He truly is a complete artist.
