Miami Beat Wave Scores Nintendo DS Miami Law - Mixtape, Singles and More!
Once thought of as behind-the-scenes participants, producers and songwriters in today's music scene have become as important to fans as the performing artists. Talented production trio Miami Beat Wave is ready to step to the forefront in 2009 with the score for the new Nintendo DS video game Miami Law, an original mixtape with lyrical dynamo GhostWridah, a video for critically-acclaimed Grammy nominee Omniscient and much more!
Miami Beat Wave began as a vision of great music as North Carolina's Chip Williams, Miami's Brandan Toledo and Chicago's St. LaRok met up at in Orlando at the Full Sail School of Music & Media Production. All roommates at various points, the three men meshed their individual talents of musicianship, songwriting, mixing and producing to put a classic edge on crafting new-age sounds.
Since uniting as Miami Beat Wave, the team has been busy with an amazing range of projects. On June 9, 2009, Nintendo DS released their exclusive game Miami Law, which MBW scored with 15 full tracks. They also produced and co-star in Omniscient's latest video "Like Them," a single from his upcoming indie album Social Work.
In July the crew will enjoy the release of their single "Guess You Forgot" on David Correy's Urban Rock Odyssey album, and the release of GhostWridah's 305's and Heartbreak mixtape, which they fully produced. Miami Beat Wave also recently collaborated with Smitty, GhostWridah, Grammy-nominee Itagui from Locospuorjuana and Malik Yulsef of G.O.O.D. Music for the amazing song "My Brother."
Needless to say, the men of Miami Beat Wave truly appreciate each other's talents. With such diverse life experiences and musical tastes, the trio will bring their eclectic ideas to music fans with an honest approach.
I admire Brandan's drive, and dedication," Chip explains. "Brandan was the one who said to me, 'We can do this' three years ago, and that ability to bring the dream into reality is what I admire most about him. St.LaRok has an eccentric sound. He likes to be different; and his sample selection, chopping methods, and drums all combine to create a truly unique form of music."
St. LaRok continues with compliments on Chip's special talents: "Chip comes from a musical background that is very different from Brandan and myself, and is multi-talented with live instrumentation and engineering. He adds polish to the grit, so-to-speak."
The future is bright for Miami Beat Wave, and they are taking no prisoners as they forge ahead with new projects. "Our group is very dynamic in the sense that we are all from different places and have different styles when it comes to making music," explains Brandan. "My team has always had the vision to touch the masses and excel in this art form, and hopefully spark the minds of more musicians and producers to make good music. Longevity is something that we are very aware of. We want our music to speak forever."

Suzanna Samone Debuts with "Million Dollar Swagg" single and video
Men have dominated the rap game for the past decade with the absence of Queen Pen, Foxy Brown, and Lil Kim, but Suzanna Samone aka The Ferrari Barbie is holding nothing back on her first single “Million Dollarr Swagg”. Ferrari Barbie debut on Undergroundgirlsofhiphop.com's first mixtape hosted DJ Vlad’s “The Pink Carpet” featuring female MC’s from The Underground Girls of Hip Hop hottest artists like MC, Lyte, Lady Luck, Jackie O, Persia, Miss Cherry, Rasheeda and many more. Suzanna Samone’s new single “Million Dollarr Swagg” and “The Pink Carpet” are now available for free download on The Underground Girls of Hip Hop Official Site as well as YouTube.
“This mix tape shows the industry that females in hip-hop have truly been denied the full platform owed to them, said Shylise Simpson, founder of The Underground Girls of Hip Hop. “This is not a mixtape dedicated to females and their sexual ability but more so dedicated to true emceeing, lyrics and life from the female perspective.” Suzanna Samone’s debut on the mixtape comes as no surprise to her Alabama fans. The Ferrari Barbie champions every stage from opening for Young Joc to high schools and club scenes. Suzanna, is this month’s “Featured Artist” on UndergroundgirlofHipHop.com.

MORE ABOUT SUZANNA SAMONE:
Raised in the streets of Birmingham, Alabama, Suzanna Samone aka Ferrari Barbie, didn't believe rapping was her life’s first priority. Like many women, Suzanna found herself in an abusive relationship that almost claimed her life in 1997 when her then boyfriend crashed a vehicle, with her in it. The accident sent her to the hospital with a 30/70 percent chance she would come out of the surgery, and unclear if she would she ever walk again.
It was during her recovery that she spent all of her time listening to music, evaluating and studying the hip hop craft from other artists. Suzanna Samone felt there was a lack of message delivered in today’s lyrics, that the ladies of hip hop past like Queen Latifah, Queen Pen, MC Lyte, Sweet Tee and Yo-Yo shared. Suzanna Samone picked up a pen and pad and started writing lyrics and recording with friend and rap artist/Producer "Attitude" of Warner Brothers Records. Today she is an unsigned artist, thanking Hip Hop that she survived a life threatening accident.

Cage – Depart From Me – Definitive Jux
Release Date: 07/07/09
Cage unleashed a new track on Twitter today from his forthcoming album, Depart From Me, due in stores on July 7th from Definitive Jux Records. The track “Look What You Did” is the third to surface from Cage’s highly anticipated follow-up to 2003’s Hell’s Winter and was produced by Hatebreed’s F. Sean.
Cage released the album’s first single “I Never Knew You” with a Shia LeBeouf produced video last month on MTVu along with a free EP by the same name.

About Depart From Me
Definitive Jux is proud to present Depart From Me - the latest full-length album, from underground/indie-rap legend Cage, a/k/a Chris Palko. The follow-up to Hell's Winter, his 2005 critically-acclaimed LP, Depart From Me continues Cage's musical saga of a no-holds-barred, brutally autobiographical journey through his past and present. Cage explains, "The idea of making a positive change in my life and getting clean, that was Hell's Winter. Depart From Me is the struggle in implementing those ideas."
Cage began his career on the legendary Bobbito Garcia and Stretch Armstrong radio show and with the release of the single "Agent Orange" in 1997 on Garcia's label Fondle Em' Records. His talent led him to a deal with Eastern Conference Records, where he dropped his renowned full length LP, Movies For The Blind, one of the classic independent hip hop albums of this decade.
Plagued by abuse, institutionalization, drugs, and violence throughout his life, these nightmarish experiences have permeated his art and defined the music he makes today. Cage's music is truly reflective of a reality far stranger than fiction, he explains; "I want only to make music that is true to life, making a record that people can relate to. This would prove harder than I ever imagined."
By 2005, Cage had paired up with rap legend El-P and his label Def Jux to produce Hell's Winter, a dark walk towards the light at the end of a tunnel. With the upcoming Depart From Me and I Never Knew You EP Cage illuminates the struggles he's faced upon entering a world that continues to be a source of loss and confusion. He's helped along in this task with production by El-P, F. Sean (Hatebreed), Aesop Rock, and the late, great Camu Tao (R.I.P.).
"Pain and loss, obsession and anger... Love, depression and insecurities... Growth as well as failure and the ever challenging battle with addiction. These things are the very soul of my record. Depart From Me is about knowing what is destroying you and struggling to get those things out of you. This is my life. This is my record. I hope you enjoy it."

PAPER DOLLS ANNOUNCE 1ST ANNUAL MEN'S MAKEOVER CONTEST
If the man in your life is in need of a serious fashion makeover, The Paper Dolls have come to your rescue. Whether it’s you personally or a boyfriend, husband, brother or dad, let “The Dolls” resident fashionista, T.Strong work her magic while assisting to rid him of his kooky wardrobe, weird taste or low self-esteem.
“I love being able to help someone find their own fashion style; especially men, because they so often get a bad rap from females about their clothing choices. Style is more about showing your personality and being comfortable in the clothes rather than the actual look”, said T. Strong when asked what motivated her to do this type of makeover.
Although one of the main goals The Paper Dolls share is to celebrate and uplift women of every color, nationality and economic background, this doesn’t completely eliminate men from the picture as noted by the show’s creator, Dannyell Mitchell “Our listeners consist of both men and women. Most men tune in to eaves drop on what women really talk about but we welcome that proverbial fly on the wall. We continue to learn from each other’s experiences as the men also share their thoughts with us on various shows and through email.”
As one of the many exciting new things “The Dolls” have planned for their 3rd season with Blog Talk Radio, the 1st Annual Men’s Makeover is expected to garner a vast number of entries. To enter visit www.myspace.com/paperdollsonline. Contest ends midnight August 12, 2009 and the winner will be announced during The Paper Dolls weekly broadcast on August 19, 2009.
About the show:
Predicated on their fifteen-year friendship, Paper Dolls is centered around the lives and viewpoints of creator Dannyell Mitchell and her partners in crime T. Strong, Shannon G., and Atheia Burke with discussions on men, money, sex, power and everything in between – all from a female perspective. For more information, visit:

Taral Hicks in DISCIPLE
Solar Circuit Entertainment, Inc. has announced that Taral Hicks (Belly, A Bronx Tale) and newcomer Tanya Thompson have been cast to star in their new psychological thriller “Disciple”. Directed by the Clark Brothers (The Trade Off, Rebel), “Disciple” delves headfirst into the dark and menacing world of cults as public defender Billy Jean Chandler (Tanya Thompson) realizes that the murderer she is defending is indeed innocent. Billy Jean has been swept into a world wind of deception where even her best friend Angela (Taral Hicks) is a suspect and she is already in far too deep by the time she realizes what mayhem lies before her.
“Disciple” is the first feature film for production company Solar Circuit Entertainment, Inc, which was founded in 2003 by husband and wife team Eric and Tanya Thompson. After being dissatisfied with the choice of roles available to her, Tanya Thompson decided to create her own star vehicle and began putting the pieces together for “Disciple”. Tanya reached out to seasoned Director’s Wes and Heaven Clark aka “The Clark Brothers” to direct the film. The Clark Brothers are best known for their film “The Trade Off” which won the Audience Choice Award at the Long Island International Film Expo.
“As an African American actor, producer and woman, it is important for me to examine and realize that how we are depicted on screen actually mirrors our reality, Says Tanya Thompson, Co-owner of Solar Circuit Entertainment, Inc and lead actress on Disciple. “Oftentimes we are typecast in negative roles such as the angry baby-momma, the angry black female, someone just used for sex or someone who lacks knowledge and education. However, that is not all of our realities. African American women are multi-faceted individuals. We are the wife, mother, sister, aunt, best friend, but we are also the doctor, lawyer, accountant, police officer, television host, entrepreneur and the First Lady! Instead of complaining about the lack of good roles available to us, I decided to focus one (1) percent on the problem and 99% on the solution by producing and starring in a quality film I had written for myself, thereby creating my own opportunity to show us in a diverse range of roles.”
In addition, Elizabeth Ahmed (Cavier) from VH1’s hit reality show “For the Love of Ray J, Michael James (BET’s Hell Date) and comedian King Kedar have all been cast in “Disciple”.
“Disciple” is currently casting and will begin shooting in NYC in September 2009. For more information, please visitwww.disciplethemovie.com

Stax icon Teena Marie hits the charts with Congo Square
Legendary R&B trailblazer Teena Marie's new album Congo Square, her first for celebrated soul label Stax Records, sold over 18,000 copies this week to debut at #20 on Billboard's top 200 album chart and the #4 spot on the R&B Core Store album chart. The record marks the return of one of her generation's most important voices and has been incredibly well received both over the airwaves and in print. The first sultry single, "Can't Last A Day" featuring Faith Evans, is a Top 15 hit at Urban AC and continues to build, tracking top 5 spins in crucial markets like Los Angeles, Washington D.C. and New Orleans.
Congo Square is Teena's tribute to her New Orleans heritage recalling the best of the many classic artists that have influenced her along the way including Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye, the Emotions and of course, Rick James. The album has received raves from the press including People Magazine, Entertainment Weekly and USA Today.
The new collection is a passionate, accessible and, as always, autobiographical adventure that cruises smoothly from southern soul and smoky jazz to dance floor funk. Along for the party are special guests , the aforementioned Faith Evans, Howard Hewett, MC Lyte, pianist George Duke, drummer/co-composer Terri Lyne Carrington, bassist Brian Bromberg and Teena's daughter Rose LeBeau.
Look for Teena live in concert this summer, demonstrating once again that she remains among the most prolific and compelling live performers in pop music. This weekend, she will perform at the West Oak Lane Festival in Philadelphia and on July 5th at the Essence Festival in New Orleans. Tee

Dirty Game Records presents Thugged Out Twin Brother Rap Duo Mutt Dogg & Bullet
Dirty Game Records is proud to present rap stars Mutt Dogg and Bullet Boy a twin brother rap duo that make up the group “Thugged Out”. They recently released "Money On Deck the Mixtape Volume 1" and it is available online now at www.101distribution.com. Thugged Out has been featured in several magazines, on blazing hot mixtapes, in major videos and more…and this is just the beginning. You can tell by the rich sound of their first single and by the looks of the music video for “Money On Deck” that they are not playing about taking over the rap scene in a major way. In the video, you can catch cameo appearances by some of the industry’s top tastemakers. Thugged Out has the streets buzzing. Similar to the Chinese culture, they can be best described as the yin and the yang of rap. Very much so alike in appearance, but they bring two contrasting new styles and talents to Hip Hop. “Thugged Out” has “IT”! They stand out individually as powerful MC’s; however, combined is a definite force to be reckoned with.
Dirty Game Records and Thugged Out, vow to deliver hits that music fans will want to buy, the streets will want to endorse, and the radio stations will want to play. Catching major attention, are their singles “I Be Fly”, which they also have a video for. The extremely catchy single, “Boom Boom” is addictive and is one that folks will keep on repeat. In addition to that, they are also soon to be releasing the hot single “Sucker”, produced by Grammy Award Winning Producers Play-N-Skillz. This potential chart-topping tune, features R&B sensation and reality TV star, Ray J. Thugged Out have been endorsed by taste-makers such as Hollyhood Bay Bay, Ron Spaulding, Mic Moodswing, and members of many major DJ coalitions; namely the Core DJs, Definition DJs, Hittmen DJs and TJs Djs, to name a few. Dirty Game Records has sponsored and showcased Thugged Out at some of the industry’s leading events namely the original (TXSMC)Texas Summer Music Conference in Dallas, and the Core DJs Retreat 10, in Atlanta. They have been campaigning seriously and creating a huge fan base from coast to coast. The Rap "wonder twins" are gearing up for the release of their debut album, “Global Thugs” on Dirty Game Records, Fall '09.

J-Kwon Preps Hood Hop 2.5 for July Release, New Single Louie Bounce Out Now!
After stepping into the indie music scene with the Hood Hop 2 digital project in February, J-Kwon will unleash an entire collection of new music with Gracie Productions/EMI on July 28. The album Hood Hop 2.5 offers 13 original tracks from the St. Louis dynamo, as he offers a remix contest for budding producers and prepares a new online reality show in conjunction with the release.
J-Kwon's new single "Louie Bounce (I Smacked Nikki)" is produced by songwriter J Skillz da Bandman and features emcee Gino Green. The single is a classic J-Kwon smash giving much love to his native St. Louis. Other standout tracks on Hood Hop 2.5 include "Tipsy 09," an update of J-Kwon's smash 2004 hit "Tipsy," and "Do The Stevie" - yet another surefire dance favorite.
Now a vet in the industry at only 23-years-old, J-Kwon enjoyed formidable success while still in high school as a part of Jermaine Dupri's reign at Arista. His rough upbringing gave way to edgy lyrics that became hit songs like "Tipsy," "You & Me" and "Hood Hop" in 2004 and his collaboration with Bow Wow and Jermaine Dupri "Fresh Azimiz" in 2005. A hiatus from the hectic pace of the industry gave J-Kwon fresh insight for his future.
"I am happy to be giving my longtime fans music that excites me," explains J-Kwon. "Hood Hop 2.5 is another chapter of my growth as an artist, and I look forward to giving the my generation what they want. From party songs to lyrics about life - I can do it all. I have a long career ahead of me, and I hope the fans are ready to take this journey with me."

LOTMUSIK ALERT: DAME GREASE INTRODUCES THE THE "AUTO-TUNES"
Multi-platinum producer, instrumentalist and recording artist Dame Grease has long been known as a maverick in the music world. His raw and infectious sound defies convention and has helped to establish the careers of Hip Hop legends such as DMX, The LOX, and Swizz Beatz. The same ear that helped to build the success of those talents has now been tuned toward The Auto-Tunes, a new and innovative virtual Hip Hop group that Dame Grease has signed to his Vacant Lot imprint.
Following in the aftermath of the release of Hip Hop great Jay-Z's controversial "Death of Auto-tune" record, the new group aims to re-establish a trend of good music through animated features and music videos. "Blanket Jackson", the leader of The Auto-Tunes, stated that "[we] knew to make this project work that we would need a producer with a combination of the right talent, background and leadership to bring us together, and Grease was that producer. We're lucky to be able to be the next group that he will bring that level of success to.
Grease, whose music has sold over 50 million records worldwide, originally broke out as the producer for The LOX's "We'll Always Love Big Poppa" and DMX's smash single "Get At Me Dog." As someone who has experienced the rewards of Hip Hop, Grease still displays the same enthusiasm as when he entered the business over 10 years ago, stating "When I met Blanket we connected on a musical level and I could see he has the same focus on good music that I've carried with me throughout my career."
The first single from The Auto-Tunes is entitled "Get It Off" . The single will be released exclusively on Dame Grease's website www.damegrease.ning.com.
"Goon Music 2.Owww" will also feature appearances by Akon's artist French Montana, Max B, Sheek Louch, Freeway, Jae Millz, and the Clipse over tracks produced by Grease.

CHESTER GREGORY RELEASES "BREAKBEAT KARAOKE" 6/23
Recording Artist and Multi-award winning Broadway Star CHESTER GREGORY releases "BREAKBEAT KARAOKE" - The Mixtape on Tuesday, June 23, 2009, at no cost to consumers exclusively at www.ChesterGregory.com.
BREAKBEAT KARAOKE is a collection of throwback "breakbeats" from classic hip hop tunes with remixes from songs from the debut album "In Search of High Love", in addition to new compositions specifically created for this mixtape. It features guest appearances and cameos from Farrah Burns, Phase One and Dot Da Genius who produced Day N Night by Kid Cudi among others.
"I wanted to pay tribute to some of best in hip hop like J. Dilla, De La Soul, Common, Jay-Z and DJ Premier to name a few, says Chester." "I just want it to be like the soundtrack to the summer, where you put it on and before you know it, you are just in a party zone, he adds."
CHESTER GREGORY is no stranger to the stage; an award-winning Broadway performer and acclaimed as one of the most dynamic musical theatre presences in the entertainment business - a young black man in possession of a powerful five octave voice that has elicited high praise from the late Isaac Hayes, a standing ovation from Michael Jackson and inspired Phil Collins to compose a Broadway song custom made for what his God-given instrument can do.
After several years of blowing audiences away on the "Great White Way", playing the lead in the biographical musical "The Jackie Wilson Story", key roles in "Hairspray", "Tarzan", "Cry Baby", and most recently the originator of the "Donkey" role for Dreamworks "SHREK", Chester Gregory has become a veteran of the stage. That veteran is ready to reveal to the R&B/Soul world that the regular guy behind all of those dazzling characters...is the man he faces in the mirror every day.
Gary, Indiana-native Chester Gregory grew up admiring all around entertainers ranging from King of Pop Michael Jackson to triple threat icons Sammy Davis, Jr. and Gregory Hines. Years of dedicated vocal training (surprisingly not in the church) led to a bachelors degree in Musical Theatre at Columbia College in Chicago.
In March 2009, Chester Gregory released his critically acclaimed debut album "In Search of High Love", and was able to introduce himself as a thoughtful and gifted songwriter that is blessed with a voice that just captivates and demands attention. The album was lead by the classic composition "I Only Have Eyes 4 U", written by Harry Warren and Al Dubin, in which allowed Chester to add his magical touch and give the song a different twist.
Chester Gregory (a.k.a. Chess Gregory) peels back another layer of his soul to show the world what he is truly made of. He welcomes you to his world.
Are you ready?
He really has the ability to take risks with the melody and bring something fresh to it every time he sings it. When I grow up, I want to sing like Chester Gregory!!!" -Phil Collins
