With VYRE cofounders David and Lamar, we found a like-minded partner with a growing business that shares our vision for reaching diverse audiences."
"You have to take what you love and make it your career. Ice Cube did it with Hip Hop and now basketball. We are honored to have VYRE Network added to the BIG3 journey," said VYRE President and Co-Founder, David Hill."
