Gazbe Debonair shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.
Gazbe, so good to connect and we’re excited to share your story and insights with our audience. There’s a ton to learn from your story, but let’s start with a warm up before we get into the heart of the interview. What’s more important to you—intelligence, energy, or integrity?
All the above, for future growth when everything expands I may have to employ and I won’t employ someone that lacks all the above intelligence and integrity is especially important. In work or working with if I choose.. and in terms of romance field I would absolutely need all three from the woman I am to be with.
In general and in life you should only want people with intelligence so they aren’t gullible or if are gullible are actually street and book smart so they are able to read when they believe even someone believe that they are gullible to adjust to Plainfield and adapt. A smart person can act dumb but not for long, with certain integrity at a point will stop playing or being cordial with the stupidity and make stance on principle and that’s strong will from integrity. The energy isn’t always needed, but it is required for self preservation for balance as that’s needed; in work in creativity, in building bonds, in forming relationships, or partnerships in business within the foundation, the energy is needed.
That’s like someone growing up in the neighborhood I’m from or went to school with me or worked with me in past works and never placed energy in work. I’m not gonna look to hire them in my place of work…
I’m a artist, a rapper and songwriter first, before all my art and renaissance..
My income does come from people, yes some in mediums it is interpersonal transactions basis a/b conversation and the rest is really I put out my creations and they buy it, if it’s undeniable, there’s not a conversation in the world needed or my face or presence needed in the room to have purchase or payment and still satisfy the listeners that hear my music, is a example of what I mean by no face or presence needed. To the natural listener streaming what they like, they buy, and same goes for a customer or client shopping Nemic Brand. They like it, they buy it. They love it, they purchase a collection of it. Especially if it’s undeniable. Ironically, my music too is Nemic Brand it’s under Nemic Brand Publishing. It takes energy to build, and intelligence to be so long sighted and “big pictured” a lot more integrity to stick to what no one but you see. So all three all the above is needed.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m Gazbe Debonair, Rapper/Songwriter. I’m creator, owner, CEO of Nemic Brand, Nemic Brand Publishing, Debonair Networks, more
Published Model, in Malvie Magazine to Selin Magazine, UK, France, Australia, Denmark as well as Nemic Brand published in Fashion Magazines like Malvie, Selin, Bold And Beyond Magazine and more
Painter, Author, all around creative innovator.
Nemic Brand I have expanded even further branching into making more collections outside of Ready To Wear Collection’s and have unseen new looks I’m bringing to the ready to wear expanding more into the depths that made me, me. And the streetwear. I have assisted in creating collections for Nyfw with designer for their Hause collection all while making my private collection for my company Nemic Brand, streamlined a wave of dresses, skirts for women, lingerie, bags, etc, which will debut in the new upcoming Nemic Brand LookBook II coming soon. Creating clothes from scratch I personally handmade dresses (couture, glamour), skirts, denim jeans, vests, hats, beanies, Du rags, hoodies and sweatpants, exclusive lingerie in the private collection.
Since we last spoke I expanded to Italy with my sneakers.. I have found the closest potent scent to be able to start the oils, and the weed as well. So far, in weed – I have touched the infused side where I have THC infused butter, THC infused syrup and more so far I have personally made those as well to sample and work to perfect, not yet ready to distribute, however the works are forming. I have been reached out for samples and some have and I had received great reviews. What’s broke don’t fix but expand varieties, so, I’m restructuring as I even have this interview with you. The update from when we last spoke is things are now in action and in progress to next phases.
With private collection is more expensive due to my personal labor as I compartmentalize time as well as money management for I to dedicate to my music but I must always sacrifice time away or knock out projects to sit and shelf aside specifying shelf.. I mean I already finished the albums but now I’m holding em til time is right or split time in between the other priorities and expenses. Like how snoop dogg go on “side quest” that’s my “I’m proud of him” way of saying I’m doing my other passions and dreams as well as my main goals so main goal album done. Dream and passion is music but I have others since all were what I done like music, art, film, some acting, etc since age 8 I now expanded all for they all have their own world I just manage to make a ecosystem safe and rhythmic for em all to coincide and correlate. I have modeled Nyfw the last year and half or so, getting back into walking the runway. Walking the runway in the same collections I helped create. Doing good by helping others further their goals and dreams and works. I know what its like to have no one work, or support you, or with you and still do as that’s still what it is for me. I am just extremely self resourceful within myself being accustomed to it so I help others, I sacrificed in the meantime but still managed to expand and get my growth and development across the finish line, also helping others invest in stock and build financial portfolio which all to this day have lived better lives for it.
So new album coming soon Nemic Brand Chronicles
New lookbook coming
Nemic Brand LookBook II
You’re hearing the growth and progress of Nemic Brand Oils and weed and now the infused side too.

All will come and fruition beautifully
Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. What’s a moment that really shaped how you see the world?
I saw it as adults the elder generation will do all to trap us in their era of ways and I view elders as those that aim to bring down the future generation, not build, or uplift, cause that’s not what I experience in life from all adults.
Teachers etc. I learned elders love to look like they help or doing good in public or to public perception but whole time their work and efforts are coveted and converted to your demise as it’s been to future generations. Hasn’t changed at all. My first experience was my first true fight. Against a grown man in his 30s over me making the game winning basketball shot and we were on the same team he wanted to make the winning shot but wasn’t open so, I took the shot and we won but he punched me in my face for it.. and other elders stood there doing nothing, it was 1998 I was 5 years old it was a Saturday early afternoon. If I didn’t elbow his nuts and 5 piece punch his face til his nose bled those elders in their 20s and 30s only two teens 17 was gonna stop it.. no one tried to stop him, I was the only kid there. So I learned early how ugly the world is but how much shittier people in the world are.
Teachers would smile in my face say I’m doing good and when I personally speak with em, they say I’m doing good.. a few said “work on this” that and the third.. they’ll then say, “great work” after doing what was asked and boom, still see a failing grade from those exact teachers, instead of keeping it real or not being racist, it was a smile, a lie, and a fail with some teachers, no matter what I did to earn the passing grade. But still that’s like 30 % of the teachers I had that was real or not on that vibe.
I wasn’t a struggle student I was in AP classes majority my life cause I didn’t skip the grade I was supposed to skip, keeping me with same age instead same level grade of intelligence, which is what often occurs when you refuse to skip your child to the next grade. It was boring sometimes by jr high school I lucid slept thru class passing and acing tests never studying. I write with my left hand so I seen how teachers even got with me if it wasn’t trying to change me or challenge me to be a subordinate, it was trying to use me as distraction; like make a scene if I’m sitting too comfortable, or at times taking notes, but if I snooze.. I get no stress, or kicked out class, or in deans offices.. just silence and pass tests and I’m safe basically
In workforce I was manager at 19 in Manhattan working park Ave no college degree those employed are with degrees and 37+ years of age, the efforts and passions to have me lose my position the two years I was there for only 7 attempts to get me fired. 7th worked haha, low intelligence set up but, whatever, got transferred to manage Random House mailroom/facilities after that and that one the corporation falsely encouraged me to go to college to relinquish me of the position and contract to work with them or have money
Fucked up, haha, real fucked up
People have low intelligence these days but think their the smartest or most clever
They often think how you outsmart someone or intentions to being fucked up is “cool” like it gets “cool points” or their smarter than other people
The quicker you’re found out on what you’re doing the easier it should be to notice you aren’t as smart as you are to believe you are to be but everyone feels their genius.
Doing wrong and burning bridges to them is making money to them
Just like those employees
In work world lowest intelligence because people in their mind believe when you cause someone else to get fired or lose their position they’ll get it. Or believe they get that persons check like a reward or bonus for helping or creating ways to assure someone gets fired in the workforce workplace.. none of them realize they are workerbees and that the price is the price.. it’s stuck at that til further notice.
So their paycheck is gonna stay the same whether they other person fired or not they only cost the company more money cause it cost minimum $3,800-$7,000 to train new hires so the people often creating other to be fired are often the ones to fire cause you’re fucking up my money having me use more finance to redo something that often said “even a chimp can do” they’re workerbees. By choice, not force, everyone are workerbees, whether your own company, or someone else company, but those that choose to be workerbess will never understand or gravitate with integrity the mass, or burden, or experience, of what a manager goes thru and definitely never what the owner who created the job for them is going thru, or how they make money or manage it, let alone how to not be a liablilty. Your average worker that causes people to be fired is often that. Those that get themselves fired, have reasons, as do the managers. So it’s all a common place of mutual understandings in common occurrence. But in my experience I got the basic set up to get fired.
Also I learned because people often carry low intelligence or take pride in it or find it cool.. they find stupidity as cool so being a liability is normal and all are extremely short sighted. Like impulsive shopper, but lack the idea of probabilities, and possibilities, and fact that those two things exist. Cause of all the stuff going on these days.
So many people asked me for work or money and honestly I turned em down. Minus the fact that sometimes, I literally, physically didn’t have the money or just wasn’t going to give it in the first place.. it would be the fact that, if we grew up, not together, but you saw me around and know what I do and how I make money and made no purchase or no money or supper ever came from you. Why would you ever get money or get hired from me. I’m a walking, living-business. I’m not a building, I actually have a memory and common sense. Those people are liabilities, are those that would make lawsuits for being justifiably fired, would bring your business down being a bum, being lazy, being a failure, working hard to make your demise and loss of profits in your business that you sweat bled and shed tears creating that their bum selves never used once in their 24hrs ever in life to place sacrifice or effort for themselves just to ruin yours. So those people are ignorant by observation and in reality for being oblivious to that common sense. No offense but that’s a big reason why certain companies hire certain requirement, they often use degrees to redline black employment but it’s also a filter to prevent liability workers to be hired as well. Without realizing those are on average not investing their own money to graduate college to get the degree they’re often using others money to get it and then they hire you due to sacrifices of commitment and passing thru filter you invested effort they invest in you. I’m general. Their purpose was ideally those who use their own money. The filter works still. How many of you hired someone who put effort to never make your business stay afloat or continue to exist??
That’s why I work alone most part in music
obviously my company
In Other stuff tho that is not mine or that I would or am willing to share or take apart on that’s different
But if it concerns my stuff, or me and my world those pro types of people never get hired or money from me. Without realizing they take money away from me everyday without asking placing their money other places but I have no problem with that that’s how the world works, duh, but to ask me for money when you make sure I don’t have any money is insane and that’s the environment I’m in. Big ole New York City you gotta be built mentally strong and widely open minded to live or be from here like me born and raised.
Moments like hit n run changed me
Sacrificing my money into college going for broke changed me because I invested fully into stock after that
Get more success investing in stock than in college degrees that be opposite of what work occupation applied available in my city. Facts.
Get more in real estate investing too than living in nyc too
Learned long ago women are more debt and liability than profits and real life success. Pro creation is just generation extensions not love or relationship it’s growth and development and you need the right woman a woman smart with intelligence more integrity than yourself to be strong willed and loyal which is non existent these days. To not entertain others and break a family and home that’s supposed to be a kingdom and empire on its own and own accord that’s gangsta that’s power that’s beauty that’s unity that’s family..
I learned that isn’t possible this era and generation. Most women taught their daughters to be worse off version of what they wanted to be in their era when there was no camares and the fathers are coming back in black communities but theirs a crop full that were t present for their daughter or was and taught em wrong if at all showing them to need a man and then man money and not be independent or make money themselves without being prostitutes using less brain power thinking pussy power is power when it’s only power wen barely anyone been had it there’s no power after that or a community had it they didn’t teach em the long sighted side or what happens when you hoe out or break happy homes or decide to purposely choose to break your own family so I learned a lot and a lot changed how I see a lot of things of how I seen the world. I can only only notice the ugly truth for what it is in a peaceful way. Last thing is to remind people that they will never know power cause they overdo it on something as simple as being a Hal moniter or being told to watch paint dry to a wall let a person be in control they overdo it. Can never have power cause it’s never used right or proper or with integrity. Also what I learned is there a lot more celebrities willing to work with me but also ask me for money more than those that aren’t celebrities. I’m broker than then but they all come to me asking me for money. Kinda tells you I manage money well despite the chaos, despite the multifaceted plateaus I handle. I promise you I’m broker than all the celebs that contact me and all have asked me for money at points and times and I have came thru for em sometimes without saying nothing about the fact at all just let it process to carry on being forgotten. Moments helping or accepting opportunities were also helpful in return as thanks but still downside of me losing finance in opportunity so I shut all opportunities down nowadays. Get money from someone else and somewhere else because it only place me more into debt and expenses not apart of my life or me and my life and blueprints it has taken away time from. So yeah no one or thing impressed me anymore I learned that immediately this year. From experiences it’s been a very insightful year
What have been the defining wounds of your life—and how have you healed them?
Before being born two attempts of abortion can start there
Mark by my eye from a accident being wreckless kid lol
Broke right arm learned I’m a left hand writer all along but made me ambidextrous
Family members I wish were still here
Can never heal from that when dream to be rich and famous they were in that dream now the dream worthless even after it came true
Things hold no value after I no longer see value
It can never regain or have true value or worth again.
The worlds favorite person to exploit right..
What else.. times I almost lost life,
List of my child thru miscarriage
Committing suicide
Being brought back to life
Oh a shitty ex I wouldn’t wish on anyone wisest or worst enemy.. that’s probably biggest regret if I never spoke to her life would be better or the. Last two ladies after her haha
Gods message to stay away from women with less than me but appears to look like they have more than me
Brother fucked my ex and I was engaged to her
I like being myself and thing about myself is no one seen all sides and vibes and never fully got chance to. They took it for granted or ruin my vibes. Therefore can’t see the sides of me. But they love to make up stuff I notice people take no accountability and throw others to take place of blame for their own accountability and actions.
Being alone for about 7-10 years taught me so much it started from hit n run Iearned who was and wasn’t there
Making me happy at peace with self .
Impossible almost to be in my presence. I can be in others presence but harder the other way around. I just haven’t felt like it’s worth it so much work to do and get done this point in life it isn’t Fee-sible being to myself executing blueprints undisturbed is the happiest and most peaceful I been in my life
No woman or sex has made me peaceful or more happier than I have been to myself and I been with a graceful god gifts worth of woman respectfully. Even as a dog if I’m to dog a woman could be with class like cmon you don’t have to wild out or mistreat women, you know what I mean, we all got mothers, some have sisters, and daughters but we all have a mother and grandmother show respect. This new era tho had less value so can’t be surprised when you or I hear degrading devaluing qualities sound normal today in conversation..
Ironically women will genuinely turn you down when you’re genuinely a gentleman the time they want you or accept you your soul or choice is no fidelity to her at that point so they are naturally attracted to what hurts them or doesn’t value them. If the version of me that won’t cheat on you, will be good to you, you pass up for another guy that will abuse you, the time you only find me attractive is when in my heart I decide I can’t be loyal to this lady and she genuinely is attracted to me all of a sudden with no action or word or signs to her that I in soul and heart and intent change to not being capable to be loyal to her because I can’t be loyal to any woman that passes me up, that’s one that pass you up genuinely for others will never did you as the one and will cheat anyway so have your soul tie to can’t. That’s all they chase after or genuinely attract even in their soul. Not love happiness and peace it’s stress infidelity and misery soap opera and that’s majority so if you want peace and love you’ll have to wait and pass up a lot of woman to find the one you truly want, that wants you. Not sex up or fuck but pass em up. Sex doesn’t find the right one it makes you happy to want to keep the right one that you found to see fit for life.
It’s tricky and difficult with love. In these times cause people are hurting and spreading hurt but callin it love and spreading trauma and creating it as their life story ti repeat like a movie promo before a movie release instead of letting go and loving what’s present as a present for them. A lot of mental health issues I’ve come across a lot of women that have issues that’ll make you keep your distance fr peace of mind and finance to maintain stable financially. I personally never had a loyal woman or woman be loyal or stay around and not because of problems or relationship issues it’s once we don’t connect or I find out they all just want money they no longer around. God bless and much love though…
I have healed a lot mad calm mad chill always been nonchalant funny cool kickback etc
I don’t have trust for people I just trust my intentions good and I’m good everyone else I don’t know for real never will and can never speak up can never vouch for or on and I am a person that doesn’t speak of other people I’m a let’s speak on everything else better or important in the world or for our peace of mind and growth than anything else like what beef going on or who a hoe more than this next hoe or who got money or how much I never cared I care about what I’m doing the dreams the process and everything to execute it get it done get it out and go even further of bettering myself and tomorrow me and next year me and so on and so forth.
I lost more people and ties to my soul than I can feel or gravitate and spiritually half the time can’t explain it but feels like I’m here but also omnipresent like living 4th dimensional ahead of my time or something. Like that saying they say “way ahead of your time” or the other saying “you’re not born or made for this era and time.”
Renaissance man
So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. Is the public version of you the real you?
Not only is it the real me it’s like 0.0005% of me the view points etc isn’t truly seen for what it is and for who I truly am because of finance I put money to multiple businesses and growth even fashion in designing my private collection I buy the fabric by the yard or foot and fabrics not cheap neither is paint or art supplies for my art collection recording my music mixing and mastering nowadays much cheaper I do that all myself since 2016 (albums and eps) since 2011- present (mixtapes and music in general)
The public can’t even fathom the real me or capacity. Only just 0.0005% is seen experienced etc. more money I get and make available to prosper the more of the real me they’ll see. Simple. Money expands more me and what I do it don’t change me or character just what’s able to be done and capable to be done.
Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: What will you regret not doing?
Not living my life I loved most my life sacrificing to my dreams and goal that I haven’t actually stepped back to enjoy it because it’s not where I want it to be yet which means I’m nowhere close. I already regret not being rich as famous now
Thanksgiving coming
First one without my baby cousins who killed himself a week before thanksgiving last year I inspired him in hip hop to make beats and we did music together on some songs together. Years I dreamed of living the success with him but he gone now.. that’s a regret that’ll haunt me forever not survivors remorse real true regret some nights I resent the money and wholeheartedly fame shit don’t mean shit to me anymore I lost it all already ten fold and then some.. everyday feels torture and it’ll never stop now. Cause I what I know and lived… I’ll never live without regret it’s too late for that but what I will regret next is not living my life…. At this point it’s ran out terms of 20’s gone 30s is here a lot just gone in me of me I only got life to live and I barely got that right now. With all going on the past year and past 5 years… taught me a lot and god got me by a lot more
