New Boyz on Tour w/ Sean Kingston

NEW BOYZ TO JOIN SEAN KINGSTON ON NORTH AMERICAN TOUR August 28, 2009: Burbank, CA:   Ben J and Legacy of The New Boyz will join multi-platinum recording artist Sean Kingston on a 25-city North American Tour that will last through November.   Their summer smash "You're A Jerk" hit the airwaves this summer after an extensive self-propelled run on websites like MySpace and YouTube where youth across the nation recorded hundreds of videos imitating the fancy footwork.  The song eventually made its way into the Top 5 on the Billboard music charts and garnered over a million views for the video's Music Choice debut in its first week (the 2nd highest in the VOD network's history)-not bad for two teens who initially recorded the song in their closet.    The 17-year-olds have become the ambassadors of this counter-culture marked by loud colors, hipster-garb, and their notorious skinny jeans with their Generation Z peers co-signing their chosen form of self-expression.  "This is us.  We're showing a different side of hip-hop and a different style from the West Coast.  We've never been worried about the haters or critics," says Ben J.   Their impressive 13-track debut Skinny Jeanz & A Mic will be released September 15th on Asylum/Warner Bros. Records.  Full of minimalist beats largely produced by group member Legacy and peers to keep it organic, the album chronicles the life and experience of a normal teenager with a carefree swagger that coincides with their movement.   The duo insists that fans looking for something young, fresh, and new are in for a treat.  "People think we only do jerk music, butwe do a whole lot of everything," says Legacy. "The album is about having fun and the typical teenage life.  The show will capture this."   Tickets for the tour are available now on www.ticketmaster.com.
