We had an opportunity to speak to the boss herself, the one and only 10K is not playing games out here! The business mogul talks about how she saved her first 10K at the age of 15 and more! Catch our exclusive interview at the link below to find out what’s popping with 10K!
About 10K,
A Mother, Entrepreneur, and Businesswoman Terrika Smith is not the average female penning and rhyming her way
to stardom in Hip Hop. Born and Raised in the Westwood area of Memphis, Tennessee 10K is currently focused on
the release of “10K Certified,” an eleven-track project with production that includes DJ Chose (Credits: Kevin
Gates, PnB Rock, Kodak Black) and Twan Da God RocNation (Credits: NBA Youngboy, Rylo Rodriguez) just to name
a few.
“10K Certified features a musical ride that the ladies can vibe to on the dancefloor or behind the scenes in Boss
moves. Tracks such as “Money Talk” is an alter ego type track that rising femcee, 10K, rhymes about the king plays
put in place to succeed in business. “I picture myself in a Versace robe, jewels on, and a cigar lit while sitting at
a round table discussing money moves in business” – adds 10K. Another track that stands out to this
multifaceted businesswoman “Up The Ticket” is a homage to being able to play how you want, eat what you like
versus being fed what they wanna feed you. “You can’t lil girl me, You can’t peon me or box me. This is the
energy that you get from this track Give me the KING plate if you are going to give me anything. So up the
ticket.”
Raw in her lyrics with a thick southern Memphis accent, and bold in her delivery; Ten focused on honing her
craft, verses, and catchy hooks on the latest project being released Fall 2022.
With a hustle mindset that is undeniable, 10K strategically used her rising popularity and notability in the
spotlight as a blueprint foundation to create a thriving business frame model in the hair and beauty industry.
Doubling down as a businesswoman running a successful Beauty Salon in Memphis, 10K took a leap to expand
her artistry and love for music as the next femcee rising Tennessee with the opening of Trap Gurlz record
label.

“Naturally, I am a visionist, entertainer and a creator. I love the creativity and uniqueness behind being in the
entertainment industry. You control the limits in your delivery, consistency, and bottom line. I take pride in
my integrity and my work ethics as an artist and as a woman in business” –adds 10K.
10K credits superstar artists such as Lil Kim, Mary J. Blige, Nicki Minaj, and Ashanti as pioneering her passion
and love for music to be taken to the next level as an artist. She prides her motivation from being the
backbone for her family and her children. For Trap Gurlz Entertainment, her record label imprint, 10K aspires
to hold seats with other heavy hitting independent record labels like Quality Control, CMG, and CTE Music in
the next five years. The vision is to house a home for artists and producers to develop their craft, expand on
their success in music, and win independently as a black woman operating imprint.
