Omar Cook releases debut EP Destined For Greatness, delivering powerful anthems of faith, focus, and fearless pursuit of purpose. We discuss it here!
By: Vianca Mireya
Los Angeles, CA- Award-winning entrepreneur, actor, director, author, and creative powerhouse Omar Cook, CEO and founder of 247 Live Culture Enterprises, one of the nation’s top Black-owned multimedia companies, is expanding his reach and impact with the release of his debut EP, Destined for Greatness.
A masterclass in self-empowerment through sound, Destined For Greatness is more than music- it’s the anthem for anyone chasing purpose. With each track, Cook weaves the blueprint of his own journey, fusing faith, focus, and fortitude into every lyric. The EP mirrors the very pillars upon which he built 247 Live Culture Enterprises: authenticity, empowerment, and an unshakeable belief in one’s own potential.
This project is a direct extension of Cook’s mission to inspire others, which he has championed through his thriving business empire and his compelling library of originally written books and journal series. His books, much like the songs on Destined For Greatness, are designed to guide people to unlock their inner strength and reach their highest personal and professional goals. His music video for his song “Manifest” is an inspirational anthem to encourage people to dream big and envision a better world for all.

What many expected to be the final installment of J. Cole’s iconic Dreamville Festival actually turned out to be the start of something new. Just days before the two day event kicked off at Dorothea Dix Park in Raleigh, North Carolina, organizers surprised many fans during a press conference by announcing the annual celebration of Black culture and music will continue for the next four years.
“We’re going to be here for years to come. This is a multi-year deal, and we’re so excited to be working with the city of Raleigh together on something new and exciting, and to continue to build on this incredible thing that we’ve done over the years.”
The partnership with the city of Raleigh will keep the festival in Dorothea Dix Park through at least 2029, reinforcing the event’s commitment to the local economy.
“We’re going to continue on the same path that’s been successful for us. Our consumers have told us what they like, and we’re going to try to provide that to them for the next four years.”
Raleigh City Manager Marchell Adams-David also emphasized that J.Cole will remain involved with the festival’s direction going forward. Though it is unlikely he will perform every year.
“He will obviously be involved, whether or not he headlines. That’s probably not going to be an occurrence, but he is a local resident. He is totally committed to this community, and he is totally committed to this festival.”
Longtime manager and a key Dreamville executive, Ibrahim Hamad, echoed the same sentiment.
“We call it our family reunion. I think a lot of people from all over the world and from all 50 states come in, and it’s good to be able to do it here in North Carolina.”
This year’s show included Saturday’s headliners Lil Wayne and the Hot Boys (Juvenile, Turk and B.G.) with the Big Tymers (Birdman and Mannie Fresh), 21 Savage, PARTYNEXTDOOR, and Ludacris. Other performers of the day included Dreamville’s own Ari Lennox, Ab-Soul, Bas, Young Nudy, Lute, Omen, Kai Ca$h and Niko Brim, with a special 20 year celebration of Keyshia Cole‘s debut album The Way It Is.
Sunday’s roster included headliners J. Cole, Erykah Badu, and Tems, with other performances by GloRilla, J.I.D., Wale, Coco Jones, Earthgang, BigXThaPlug, Anycia, Cozz, and Akia.
