🔥
THE INDUSTRY’S NEXT ESSENTIAL SIGNING IS HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT
Every few years, the music industry overlooks someone who later becomes a cultural giant.
Someone independent.
Someone unfiltered.
Someone who doesn’t play by the rules — because he’s too busy writing his own.
Right now, that artist is Plug Not A Rapper, the fearless, twerk-anthem-forging, culture-bending persona behind the name PartyPlugMikey.
He isn’t waiting for the industry.
He’s already created his own.
And with a fast-growing discography, a built-in festival empire, and a multi-state youth audience, he is exactly the kind of artist major labels pretend they are “searching for.”

THE BRAND: ARTIST + MOVEMENT + FESTIVAL OWNER

Not a showcase.
Not a club night.
Not a pop-up.
A full statewide cultural weekend attracting tens of thousands.
The Orange Crush Festival — one of the most recognized youth-driven events in Georgia, Alabama, and the Southeast — is directed, branded, and owned by him.
No label has ever had the chance to partner with:
An artist who ALSO runs a festival that breaks music.
This alone is a million-dollar value.

George R. Turner III
Founder & Trademark Owner, Orange Crush Festival™
100% Disabled Veteran | Entrepreneur | Cultural Architect
George R. Turner III, also known as PartyPlugMikey, is the visionary founder and federally recognized trademark owner of the Orange Crush Festival. Born and raised in Savannah’s Cloverdale neighborhood, George is a 100% disabled U.S. veteran and a lifelong creative force. He leads a multifaceted brand ecosystem including Orange Crush University (501c3), CRUSH Magazine, and Crush Coin DAO. Through community events, education, media, and technology, George is redefining cultural ownership, student empowerment, and legacy-building across Georgia and beyond.
At my core, I’m a creator. Whether it’s through music, events, media, or visual expression, everything I do is rooted in storytelling and purpose. I specialize in building platforms that give voice to culture—from organizing large-scale events like the Orange Crush Festival to writing articles, producing music, curating magazines, and even sharing personal stories through poetry and painting.
I’ve always believed that art isn’t just something you perform—it’s something you live. My journey started with music. As a DJ and performer, I learned how to move a crowd, how to connect energy, and how to speak through rhythm. That love for sound evolved into songwriting and recording, where I poured my life into lyrics that reflect the struggle, the love, and the hope I carry.
But I didn’t stop there. I also found comfort in painting and poetry—ways to express what couldn’t always be said out loud. My spoken word performances became my therapy. My brushstrokes became prayers. And over time, I realized that everything I created was a way of healing, not just for me, but for others who saw themselves in my work.
That led me to build CRUSH Magazine, a platform dedicated to telling our stories—real stories from the streets of Savannah to the halls of HBCUs across Georgia. I’ve written articles, produced student spotlight series, and helped others share their voices in a world that often silences them. That’s what I’m most proud of: using my platform to elevate others while staying true to my own creative vision.
What sets me apart is my willingness to be raw and vulnerable while still being strategic and impactful. I create with my heart, but I lead with my mind. I don’t just chase trends—I create movements. And I’m not afraid to merge love, art, activism, and even pain into one unified voice.
Even in relationships—whether romantic or professional—I believe in creating connection, depth, and meaning. My art is a reflection of my truth, and my truth is layered. I’ve lived through heartbreak, loss, triumph, and rebirth. I lost my mother at just 8 years old. I’ve experienced betrayal, been falsely arrested, and fought through systemic barriers—but I turn all of that into art.
Every beat I make, every article I write, every event I organize, every love I’ve felt, and every truth I speak—it’s all part of one canvas. And I’m still painting.
