Hawks Talon GC Hosts Live Stream with Grammy® Award-Nominated Producer and Recording Artist Sonny Digital

Hawks Talon Head Coach Wesley Acuff Was Joined by the Atlanta Native as Part of the Talon Takeover Series
Hawks Talon GC, the official NBA 2K League affiliate of the Atlanta Hawks, hosted a special livestream on the team’s official Twitch channel as part of a content series called Talon Takeover. As part of the stream, Hawks Talon’s Team Manager and Head Coach Wesley Acuff was joined by Grammy® Award-nominated and Platinum-selling producer and recording artist Sonny Digital. With more than 10 years in the game, artist Sonny Digital continues to prove he is a moving force in hip-hop music. To date, he has produced numerous records and created a catalogue of timeless, solo and collaborative art. At only 29-years-old, Sonny pushes his music to the masses while discovering and creating new sounds through his production and songwriting.
“Having Sonny Digital join us for tonight’s Talon Takeover was great,” said Acuff. “He is one of the most well-respected producers in Atlanta, and we are thrilled he was able to join us for tonight’s stream.”
During the stream, the conversation revolved around Sonny Digital’s background, his love for video games in addition to his passion for producing and recording music.
“The event was dope, and I had fun,” said Sonny Digital. “Since we’ve been limited to what we can do, and I’ve been playing 2K a lot more, this was perfect timing. I would like to thank Hawks Talon Gaming Club for all the love.”
Originally from Michigan, Sonny moved to Atlanta and as a teenager, he found his passion in making music. He produced smash singles like Tuesday by ILoveMakonnen, Racks by YC and Future, Birthday Song by 2 Chainz and Kanye West and Red Opps by 21 Savage. Digital’s other production credits include Travis Scott, PnB Rock, Young Thug, Rick Ross, Juicy J, Beyoncé, DJ Khaled, Meek Mill, MadeInTYO, Lil Uzi Vert, Wiz Khalifa, 50 Cent, Gucci Mane and many more.
In 2016, he released his first solo mixtape called G.O.A.T featuring frequent collaborators Black Boe, Key! and Young Sizzle. He followed shortly with a series of singles like My Guy with Black Boe, Look at Me Now and Dope. The following year, Sonny teamed up with Black Boe to release a striking new EP, Black Goat. In 2018, Sonny teased the title of a new project and built a studio and headquarters for his label Rollin Records. Singles like I Got featuring Lil Xan and $teven Cannon and Keep It Real built up his buzz and he announced to fans that he signed a deal with Atlantic Records.
Last year, Hawks Talon announced the creation of the one-of-a-kind content series called Talon Takeover which features celebrities, entertainers and influencers playing various popular video games. The series welcomed Emmanuel Lawrence (also known as Manni Supreme) as the host of the series.

Esportes da Sorte celebrates Brazilian culture with Parintins and São João Sponsorships

Esportes Gaming Brasil, the owner of Onabet and Esportes da Sorte, is making its debut at the 58th Parintins Folklore Festival with an interactive project that blends cultural promotion, economic development, and social responsibility.
The brand becomes the first regulated betting operator to offer institutional support to the event, which welcomes around 120,000 visitors and generates BRL 184 million in local economic activity, according to the Amazonas State Government.
This cultural commitment comes on the back of Esportes Gaming Brasil sponsoring 31 São João festivals during June in 27 cities across the Northeast and Southeast regions. This initiative strengthens the brand’s strategy of connecting with the public through the appreciation of Brazilian cultural expressions.
Esportes da Sorte’s focus was creating memorable experiences as each event featured scenography by Pernambucan artist Perron Ramos. Another notable element was the Vila Junina (June Village), a themed area blending traditional elements with interactive experiences. Classic games such as Pescaria da Sorte (Fishing of Fortune), Barraca do Beijo (Kissing Booth), and Argola da Sorte (Ring Toss) bring nostalgia to the festivities.
For the three-day Parintins Folklore Festival starting today, the brand will be energising Parintins with a series of experiences celebrating local culture. These include a panoramic lounge with a special view of the Bumbódromo, the Truck da Sorte — a space combining karaoke and free hydration — as well as a Social Arena installed in the Garantido and Caprichoso neighborhoods, featuring artistic performances, rest areas, free water distribution, and Instagram-worthy spots. Festivalgoers will also be able to get their hands on custom giveaways throughout the festival. All elements of the visual project are inspired by Amazonian art. The graphics feature illustrations by Curumiz, a Parintins-based duo formed by Alziney Pereira and Kemerson Freitas.
Sofia Aldin, CMO of Esportes Gaming Brasil, the group behind the brand commented: “Esportes Gaming Brasil cares passionately about regional values and strengthening Brazilian popular culture. It’s more than simply showcasing our brand, we want to create value for the people who live for events like the Parintins Folklore Festival and the São João festivals. Being part of these events backs our strategy of supporting traditions that drive local economies and celebrate regional identities.”
