I think low key Tariq is trying to build his platform into what he and Jason Black are calling the New Black Media. Also it appears the link with having Layla from TMZ and his other connects has paid off because he's been on TV News more, had black movie and TV star interviews, notable names re-tweeting his comments and mentions...he's actually becoming A SOURCE for black response and content.
If you pay attention to it all & look at the path:
Macklessons & Books - he built a following from the dating market
Hidden Colors Docs - he built a following from the conscious market
Melanoid Nation - he built a following from
the black social justice market
IZM Radio - now he's trying to dip back into the entertainment market and wrap all the above into that too
He grew his menu and his customer base.
