Paul Wall is on the Grind!

Posted at 2/10/2007 07:13:00 AM

SwishaHouse/Asylum/Atlantic recording artist Paul Wall has announced early details of his eagerly awaited second album. Dubbed "Get Money - Stay True," the Houston-based hip-hop sensation's follow-up to 2005's #1, RIAA platinum-certified "The People's Champ" is set to drop on April 3rd. The album's first single, "Break 'Em Off," has just arrived at multi-format radio outlets nationwide.


"Get Money-Stay True" sees Paul Wall joined in the studio by an array of production aces, including Mr. Lee, Drummer Boy, Addict, KLC, DJ Montay, Travis Barker, Jermaine Dupri, and Freeway. Among the star-studded company lending their voices to the collection are Jermaine Dupri, Snoop Dogg, Lil Keke, Freeway, Rick Ross, Fergie, Jon B, Trina, Crys Wall, Yung Redd, and Expensive Taste (Travis Barker & Skinhead Rob). In addition to recording in his homebase of Houston, Wall also laid down tracks in the Austin, Texas studio of legendary country artist Willie Nelson.

Paul Wall recently received his first-ever Grammy Award nomination, getting the nod for "Best Rap Performance By a Duo or Group" - for his teaming with Nelly on the #1 single, "Grillz," also featuring Ali & Gipp.

To celebrate the release of "Get Money-Stay True," Paul Wall will hit the road with Fall Out Boy on the band's 2007 Honda Civic Tour. The major cross-country trek - which will also feature support from +44, The Academy Is..., and Cobra Starship - will kick off April 18th in Charlotte, North Carolina and run through mid-June, hitting more than 40 cities throughout North America.

AOL Music (www.aolmusic.com) is offering an exclusive First Listen from "Get Money-Stay True." Fans can log on to hear "Break 'Em Off," "Fire" featuring Trina, "Call Me What You Want," and a snippet of the track "Everybody Know Me." In addition to the First Listen, AOL Music is featuring Wall's personal track-by-track guide to the album, an in-depth interview, photo gallery, and exclusive "Grillz Gallery" - where fans can see how their favorite celebrities would look with one of Paul's custom grillz.

In other online news, Paul's weekly series, "Get Money TV," has just launched on YouTube (www.youtube.com/profile?user=GetMoneyTV), while "Break 'Em Off" has already reached 1.6 million streams on his MySpace page.

The multi-talented rapper/producer - who will be a featured model in Avirex's upcoming print ad campaign - is currently allied with NBA superstar LeBron James and Coca-Cola's Sprite in a national contest inviting consumers to create theme songs for new Sprite TV commercials to air during next month's NBA All-Star Weekend. Full details of the competition - which will see Paul, James, and Cleveland rapper Al Fatz personally selecting the winning tracks - can be found at www.LeBron23-23.com, along with weekly blog posts from the team of judges.

In addition, Paul- who along with his musical career is also a highly skilled jeweler, famous for creating custom diamond grills -- has teamed up with Zenetti, a global trendsetter in designer automotive accessories, to create a signature line of vehicle grills and wheels. Further details of the cubic zirconium-encrusted items can be found at www.grillsbypaulwall.com or www.zenetti.com.

What's more, Paul will take part in the upcoming DUB Magazine Car Show & Concert tour, the nationwide car show highlighting a diverse display of customized imports, SUVs, and luxury vehicles, as well as performances and DJ sets from today's top stars. The tour - the world's largest custom auto show and concert tour - begins on March 18th at the Los Angeles Convention Center, with stops across the country slated through October (see www.dubmagazine.com/dubshow for full details).

"Cam'Ron Giles 1976-2007" by BadNews

Posted at 2/09/2007 07:40:00 PM

Wow. Was it only me when my spidey sense went off and I had butterflies in my stomach when I wondered why 50 was so calm on the phone when Cam'ron started yelling at him over the phone on radio? Why was Curtis so calm? I think I know why now. He was gathering his thoughts... getting his lyrics together, planning the funeral for Cam'ron Giles career. Check out the video for 50 cent's diss record, "Funeral Music", here or on his myspace page.

I really don't wanna get into it because you gotta see it for yourself but lets just say 50 fired a cannon when there was a depiction of a lamborghini getting shot. Some might not like like him, more might hate him, but when it comes to drama or beef, 50 is the one you do not want to battle with. And that's mainly because he doesn't care, he speaks his mind and has a voice that can be heard, and that's far more dangerous than yelling over the phone. This is our first offical beef of the year and it has started out with 50 not throwing a jab, but a freaking haymaker! Cam'ron is very lyrical and can hold his own with Jay, but is 50 going to help this man out with this beef, or help his career in a coffin? Stay tuned world...."DDDDDDDDAMN!!"

Rawkus Records is Looking For Unsigned Artists for "Rawkus 50"

Posted at 2/09/2007 03:01:00 PM

Rawkus Records has a cherished and indelible place in the hip-hop history books, as it was the preeminent label of hip-hop’s glory age. More then a label, the name became a motto for what was right with hip-hop, and over the course of its storied history, became the model for all independent labels that followed in its wake. Now, Rawkus is back, and in doing so ushers in its rebirth with the same ideology it previously used to become a powerhouse - delivering quality music!

The “RAWKUS 50” is the 50 Next important hip hop artists! As one of Hiphop’s most trusted brands, Rawkus Records will select 50 members ideally suited to represent our logo. The “RAWKUS 50” will receive the consistent marketing efforts of the founders of Rawkus Records. First, Rawkus Records will consolidate the cumulative fan-bases in the interests of the cooperative. Then, Rawkus will market the “RAWKUS 50” as a whole, while maintaining the essential one-on-one focus on individual artist development.

Jarret Myer and Brian Brater, co-founders of Rawkus Records are eager to explore all the opportunities and new artists that will arise with “Rawkus 50” as Jarret comments “This is such a great opportunity for both artist and label. There are so many talented artists with substance and a do it yourself spirit that deserve a larger promotional outlet.” Likewise, Brian asserts “with the Rawkus 50, Rawkus will provide unprecedented opportunities for Independent artists.” Further, Slop Funk Dust, content manager of the “RAWKUS 50” laments “When have you ever heard of a respectable record label accepting unsolicited material from the general public? I could send my demo to Def Jam, but it's just gonna end up on someone’s floor. The Rawkus guys are loading up their IPOD’s and listening to submissions like mad men. This is the perfect opportunity for that one guy, that's been recording albums in his basement and posting his videos on youtube. It is also perfect for artists that are already established and have followings and are just interested and hungry. For those established artists this can be a way better outlet than mixtapes.”

Artists chosen for one of the coveted 50 spots MUST have developed Myspace communities and sufficient Youtube (or equivalent) links.

In addition to the “Rawkus 50’s” comprehensive internet marketing strategy, Rawkus Records will provide the “Rawkus 50” with the following cooperative marketing opportunities:

**National Full Page Print Campaigns with trusted Hiphop Magazines

**National Internet marketing and promotion

**Sponsored NY and LA Showcases for the “Rawkus 50” to perform

**Blog and Podcast hosting, marketing and promotion

Artist Creative Requirement:

Non Prolific artists need not apply. If you cannot consistently create and churn out dope music, the “Rawkus 50” is not for you! Artists must submit and deliver a minimum of 10 (ten) mastered tracks for one album. Rawkus Records will promote and market the album.

Artists will remain fully-independent and be free to sign with any label of their choosing, or Rawkus Records if we approach you and you accept.

Please submit all entries for “Rawkus 50” to:

music@rawkus.com to the attention of Slopfunkdust

Please be sure to put the “Rawkus 50” as the subject; if your e-mail submission is over 10MEGS, please use Yousendit http://www.yousendit.com to upload your zipfile entry.

Jose Cuervo, the world's largest Tequila company, has partnered with urban superstar Pitbull, Hip Hop mogul Chingo Bling and rising talent Malverde to announce the 2nd annual talent search for "La Nueva Generaci?n", the next generation of Latino artists in urban music. Known as Cuervot?n, the contest will serve as a platform for exposure to unsigned artists, ensuring the longevity of Latinos in the music industry in partnership with, BMI,
Gibson, Def Jam's Roc La Familia and Atlantic Records. Jose Cuervo is also partnering with LIFEbeat, The Music Industry Fights AIDS charity organization, which is dedicated to reaching America's next generation with the message of HIV/AIDS prevention.

Beginning in January, Cuervot?n will tour the country searching for the hottest up-and-coming talent. Contestants from across the nation will have the opportunity to submit their demos for review, compete for a major record deal with Def Jam's Roc La Familia and be featured on Estudio 201's Volume 3 CD. In addition, finalists will share the stage with some of the hottest stars in urban music and tour with Cuervot?n in 2008. Semi- Finals will be held in New York, Chicago, Miami, Phoenix and Houston. The final concert event will take place in Chicago in May, 2007.

"As someone who grew up with obstacles to overcome, I know what it's like to get a break and work tirelessly to achieve your dreams," said Pitbull. "This competition provides an opportunity for success to some very talented people who otherwise may never have had the chance. Cuervot?n is all about shining a light on Latino musicians and giving them a shot."

Last year, Cuervot?n was led by Chingo Bling, DJ Tony Touch with support of record labels Machete Music and Wu-Tang Latino. The campaign reached over 30,000 consumers across five cities in 12 weeks, while promoting the message of "Drink Responsibly, Play Safe" by partnering with LIFEbeat.

The final concert took place in Times Square's Nokia Theater in New York City with performances by Pitbull, N.O.R.E., Chingo Bling and many more.

"As a Latin American company, Jose Cuervo recognizes the potential of Latino artists and the influences they have on today's urban music," said Bertha Gonzalez, Commercial Director Jose Cuervo Portfolio in NA. "The Cuervot?n movement will help solidify the future of Latino artists in the U.S. for generatio
