New Boyz Set To Release Debut Album "Skinny Jeanz

da BLITZ in the INDUSTRY



Back to school season will be a little easier to cope with this fall as the New Boyz plan to drop their debut album Skinny Jeanz & A Mic September 15, 2009 on Asylum/Warner Bros. Records.

The trend-setting single You're A Jerk has become a phenomena and the soundtrack to a culture defined by acrobatic footwork, loud colors, and - much to the chagrin of hip-hop purists and critics alike - their notorious skinny jeans. Abandoning the aloof conventions of their genre, Legacy and Ben J hope that Skinny Jeanz & A Mic will be able to infuse some diversity and youthful nonchalance within a community complicated by warring old and new schools.

The Jerkin' movement has been self-propelled by youth across the country who have recorded and uploaded their own variations of the popular dance to the web, taking the 17-year-old New Boyz from MySpace notoriety onto the national scene. When the official video for You're A Jerk premiered on Music Choice's On Demand network, it debuted at #1 with close to 1 million views in its first week - the 2nd biggest premiere in the music network's history. And with a lauded performance at the 2009 BET Awards, a heavy video rotation on the MTV and BET networks and a smash-hit Top 10 single at rhythmic radio, this is just the beginning.

The Los Angeles born and bred New Boyz has assisted in redefining the soundscape of Southern California while exposing the region for all of its stylistic subtleties and nuances. And as subjects of profile pieces from the LA Times and NY Times to FOX News, they - along with fellow groups Cold Flamez, The Rejectz, and The Bangz - have become the ambassadors for this spirit of creativity and unapologetic individuality.

"The Jerk community is a viral community, garnering over 50 million views without advertising," says Shariff Hassan, co-producer of the Skinny Jeans: The Movement documentary series. "And because of technology, this movement also marks the first time that youth culture has an international audience instantly."

And with the success of their first single, the boys insist that there is much more in store for listeners.

"People think we only do jerk music, but we do a whole lot of everything," says Legacy. "The album's about the typical teenage life." The 13-track disc is a compilation of minimalist beats and futuristic synths produced by the group and their peers as a celebration of "the wonder years" and the stories they are ready to tell.

Goodie Mob reunion performance at the Masquerade in Atlanta on Saturday September 19, 2009. Doors open at 7:00 pm. Tickets for "Remember Atlanta" go on sale Saturday, August 1st through Ticketmaster.

The highly anticipated show is expected to be the highlight of the hip-hop community's concert events this year and will feature other members of the Dungeon family. "The Goodie Mob reunion is something we have collectively talked about doing for a long time. The people have called for it, and with the state of the union the way it is, the time is right," said Cee-Lo Green.

"This show means a lot to the people of Atlanta," said Jabari Graham, one-fourth of the do-no-wrong new events group, Shameless Plug Promotions. "I grew up in Atlanta back when Dungeon and La Face were doing their thing. We knew this reunion show has been in the works for years; so to be a part of making this concert happen is just remarkable for us. For so long, Atlanta has been labeled as swag or crunk, so a lot of acts may feel they shouldn't make a stop here. We know ATL is more than that and we're out to prove it."


>>But sad note its only for 1 NIGHT.

Grammy Winning Group All-4-One Returns With New Album

http://soulsummer.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/all-4-one.jpg

From the moment the chart topping acappella song So Much In Love hit the radio airwaves, the multi-platinum quartet All-4-One etched their place in musical history.

In 1994, their follow up smash song I Swear instantly climbed the charts and held the longest running #1 single position in Billboard's history. Their success continued with the release of their next string of hits I Can Love You Like That, She's Got Skillz and Beautiful As You... to name a few.

These four harmonious Grammy award winning artists, Jamie Jones, Delious Kennedy, Alfred Nevarez and Tony Borowiak, known collectively as All-4-One became a throwback to classic Motown era groups. It's been seven years since All-4-One's last album but they are ready to give their devoted fans another hit CD titled No Regrets. It will be in stores on September 15, 2009 through Peak Records distributed by Concord Music Group.

Creatively, the album is a fusion of three elements, as Jamie Jones explains: "There's the classic pop sound for which we're known, a more contemporary side and then songs that reflect our love for old school R&B." The handclappin' track I Luv That Girl, the catchy groove Good Start and the soulful classic Old Fashion Lovin' feature funky bass-tinged grooves while Go is a pulsating club cut that may surprise loyal All-4-One fans." Those who love the group for their perfection of ballads will fall for the evocative vocals on If Your Hearts Not In It and Key To Your Heart. No Regrets is a musically diverse jukebox that showcases the quartet's dynamic vocal range and musical styles.

Dallas Rapper Dorrough Releases Debut Album

da BLITZ in the INDUSTRY



The Dallas native enrolled at Prairie View A&M University while at Prairie View, he recorded the song 'Do Tha Muscle' as a member of the group Prime Time Click. The high-energy tune became a sensation on college campuses across the country and on Dallas radio, winning the Hometown Showdown on K104 FM for a week straight before being added to the station's rotation. Aided by his homegrown popularity, Dorrough and his infectious, club-ready tunes quickly developed large followings in such Texas cities as Dallas, Houston and San Antonio, as well as throughout Louisiana and Oklahoma. -->Not to mention he is also the 10 child & the baby

Dorrough releases his debut album, Dorrough Music, today (August 4). His current smash single Ice Cream Paint Job is putting up impressive numbers everywhere as it catapults into the Top 10 at urban radio this week (close to 5,000 spins) and is currently Top 20 at Rhythmic. The song has over 34 million in audience and continues to grow. The video for Ice Cream Paint Job is currently the #1 most played video on MTV2, #2 on B.E.T. and Top 10 V.O.D. at Music Choice. Combined with Dorrough's first single Walk That Walk, the 2 songs have moved over 385,000 digital transactions to date.

On Ice Cream Paint Job, Dorrough describes his tricked out ride over a warbly keyboard and mid-tempo drums. The track broke out of San Francisco and Dallas and has exploded nationwide.

Billboard Magazine featured Dorrough for its Breaking Through feature and wrote, "The spotlight is shining on him." XXL concurs by saying "... what makes this E1-singed talent stand out from the rest is his assured, clear delivery and the effectiveness of his hooks."




MY PICKS ON THE ALBUM ARE:

6. Never Changed

7. Feel This Way

9. This Time You Was Wrong

13. What's My Ringtone

14. A Whole Lotta

15. Caramel Sundae

AND OFCOURSE THE TWO LEAD HIT SINGLES....... -->His next single should be track 13

Ghostface Wants To Make An Album With MJB

da BLITZ in the INDUSTRY

http://slangrap.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/ghostface1.jpg



GFK has an interesting idea involving the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul:

"We got the ill chemistry together," said Ghost, on the set of his "Baby" video in Harlem. "I love Mary. I hope one day we could ... get together and just make an ill classic. Some Peaches & Herb. [Hip-hop editor's note: Google that group!] We just hop in real quick. Just one go-round, a one-off. That's just fly."

Sitting in his tour bus, parked across the street from Rucker Park, Ghost was also thinking about collaborating with some other R&B greats. His past R&B collaborations are highlighted on the new J-Love mixtape The Wizard Is Coming.

"That was when we was in Cali at that time," Ghost thought back to his guest appearance on Mary's "Your Child" remix. "I remember Mary wanted me to do that for her real quick. I did two of them [verses]. The other verse wasn't all right. I think [the verse that made the song] might have been eight bars. Those were the days. I was stuck a little bit."

Chris Brown sentencing delayed

da BLITZ in the INDUSTRY



Chris Brown was spotted walking out of court earlier yesterday and he seemed to have picked up some sort of “grown man” steez. I guess it’s easy to walk with a little more confidence when you know you won’t be walking out of the courthouse in handcuffs. He was supposed to been formally sentenced for the Rihanna assault, however the judge delayed the sentencing until August 27th. Apparently, the judge wants him to do hard labor for his community service but the state of Virginia has not arranged what type of work he would be doing yet.

Lord have mercy. First we've dealt with the ladies who bared their kids on BET and now it looks like Weezy and Tip's actual seeds are gettin' their shine on too with a reality show revolving around their singing group. According to Ace Showbiz, 10-year-old Reginae Carter and Tiny's 11-year-old Zonnique Pullins are in a band called OMG Girls along with two offspring from a member of forgotten R&B group, Silk. Backed by Ish Entertainment (the company that did T.I.'s Road To Redemption), I'm sure they'll be securing a deal soon. Hey, guess it's a family affair. Don't invite Joe Jackson.

Diddy's Bad Boy Records Sued Over Day26 Track

da BLITZ in the INDUSTRY

http://phongca.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/day26.jpg


Diddy's Bad Boy Records is facing a copyright infringement lawsuit in connection with a track from Day 26's sophomore album, Forever In A Day.

TMZ says the lawsuit stems from the group's song Just Getting Started, which singer Kirby Shelds claims is "identical" to his track I'm Just Getting Started.

The suit is seeking an unspecified amount in damages.

Day26's Forever In A Day debuted at #2 on the Billboard Top 100 charts back in April.

Diddy's label also made headlines earlier this year when Yung Joc came forward to complain about not receiving royalties and advances for his first two albums.

"I haven't been paid any royalties since I've been out, after over a million albums sold," Joc said in an interview with Billboard. "For my first album, they gave me a $25,000 advance when I was supposed to get more...Then I had a million dollar budget for my second album, never even got an advance off of it. For the third one they hit me with another $25,000, like I'm some chump in this sh*t. And I just got tired of it... Diddy said he's got to stay out of it because it's between me and Block Entertainment. I was never signed to Block Entertainment, but they've been interfering with a lot of my business. I feel like [Bad Boy] isn't doing anything to try to intervene and help the situation."

Ja Rule Calls Eminem Out On Mariah Carey Diss

da BLITZ in the INDUSTRY

http://blogs.bet.com/entertainment/spotlight/bet-blog/assets/2009/07/jarule.jpg

With the Eminem/Mariah Carey beef making headlines all over the 'net and "mainstream press," rappers like Ja Rule are weighing in on the situation, offering their opinions of the rapper's blistering Warning diss track.

Ja put his issues with Em's artist 50 Cent to the side to offer his take on what he considers a uneven feud.

"It all stemmed from an Eminem comment," Rule told SOHH in Mariah's defense. "With him saying he peed on her or some sh*t like that, I don't, you know, come on. Real talk, there really shouldn't be any [diss] records being made. [laughs] It should be a lot of swinging and swinging. But hey, it is what it is...I don't feel like -- I don't have to insult a woman. Even if he did do that, let's say he did do that, you're kissing and telling now? You a chick? You Superhead? You kissing and telling and sh*t? I don't know."

Em goes in on both Mariah and her husband Nick Cannon in Warning, calling her out of her name and suggesting he has proof of not only the relationship, but incidents that can damage the singer's career.

"I got the same exact tat that's on Nick's back/I'm Obsessed now/Oh geesh, that's supposed to be me in the video with the goatee, wow, Mariah, didn't expect it to go balls out," Em raps over the Dr. Dre beat. "B*tch shut the f*ck up before I put all the phone calls out you made to my house when you was Wildin' Out before Nick/When you was on my d*ck/And give you something to smile about/How many times you fly to my house just on account/Better shut your lying mouth if you don't want Nick finding out/You probably think since it's been so long that if I had something on you, I woulda did it by now/Oh on the contrary Mary Poppins/I'm mixing our studio session down and sending it to mastering to make it loud/Enough dirt on you to murder you/This is what the f*ck I do/Mariah, it ever occur to you that I still have pictures/However you prefer to do and that goes for Nick too/F*ggot, you think I'm scurred of you/You gonna ruin my career, you better get one/Like I'ma sit and fight with you over some sl*t b*tch c*nt that made me put up with her psycho a** over six months/And only spread her legs to let me hit once/Yeah, whatcha gonna say, I'm lucky?/Tell the public that I was so ugly that you f*cking had to be drunk to f*ck me..."

Since Em's Warning, Nick Cannon has taken to his Twitter account, quoting biblical scriptures about not taking revenge.
