New Tell All Book, “What Really Happened to Michael Jackson, the King of Pop,”
Now Available for Pre-Order
Atlanta, Georgia (June 4, 2010) – New tell-all book, What Really Happened to Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, is scheduled to be released on June 25th, the anniversary of Michael's death. It is now available for pre-order at http://www.whatreallyhappenedtomj.com/.
Written by legendary concert promoter and close friend to Michael Jackson, Leonard Rowe, this controversial book connects greed, corruption and the underhanded dealings of the entertainment industry to the events that lead up to Michael's unfortunate and untimely death.
In the book, Rowe – who was with Michael several days before he passed – writes that he believes there was a conspiracy behind the murder of Michael Jackson. Referring to Michael Jackson's fifty percent ownership of the entire Sony catalogue, which is now worth billions of dollars. He says that Michael told him, "They want my catalogue (music publishing rights) Rowe, and they will kill me for it."
"Michael never wanted to sell it (the catalogue); he wanted to keep it for his children," Rowe writes in the book. "…Michael Jackson name and his brand are worth billions and billions of dollars, and he is worth more to them dead than alive."
Rowe writes that with Michael Jackson dead the powers that be – and he names names – were able to move in and control the wealth with the help of a "phony and fradulent" Last Will and Testament.
Rowe further states that they are trying to keep him quiet by slandering his name in an effort to divert attention from the truth. But, he is telling it all in this new book, What Really Happened to Michael Jackson, the King of Pop.
"Michael was a dear friend of mine and it is not right for his life to have been taken the way it was," said Rowe. "Now finally on the anniversary of his death, the truth about what really happened to Michael Jackson will be told."

OGPR ANNOUNCES NEW CLIENT SIGNING - WELCOMES FEMCEE SKIDDALZ TO THE ROSTER
CLICK ABOVE IMAGE TO VISIT SKIDDALZ'S
BRAND NEW WEBSITE
Centralia, IL - Nope, I'd never heard of it either but it happens to be the hometown of the latest addition to my client roster, Skiddalz, and I am very excited about working with her. I try not to editorialize too much in these updates but prefer instead to let the music and bio speak for themselves; this one will be the exception.
A few weeks ago I was in a new artist showcase at Tony Neal's Core DJ Retreat in Orlando, attending because one of my clients had a showcase. I was sharing the table with good friend, Wendy Day, and had my back to the stage, engrossed in conversation. I heard another artist being announced behind me and I kept right on talking, except the beat that was playing kept interrupting my train of thought and it quickly began to be apparent that I was not alone. The whole room in fact was on their feet cheering the performer on. I rarely see that at these events so I felt compelled to stand up, turn around and see what all the fuss was about. This is when I first saw Skiddalz.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't confused by what I saw. Skiddalz is not only female and white but rather a large girl but she was killin' it. She kept my attention for the entire duration of her performance and it was during those few minutes that I knew I wanted to work with her. The many hours I spent with both and her family after a brief introduction solidified my decision. You see, Skiddalz's whole immediate family had driven to Orlando with her to support her at the retreat.
What also impressed me was the knowledge that her entire project is currently being financed by her big sister, who does this from her paycheck from the local prison where she works as a CO; yep, I said CO. This is not likely to be the case for long however as Skiddalz recently licensed several songs to MTV, one of them for the show, Jersey Shore. She also has music going up on iTunes very shortly and things are moving along nicely.
Wendy Day, who was equally impressed with Skiddalz, is going to be assisting her navigate through the murky waters of being an unsigned artist looking for a deal. Upon reading the self-written bio Skiddalz provided us with, she had this to say, "Skiddalz's bio might be the best bio I've ever read about an artist and she wrote it herself......it's really great." Simply put, the girl can write and writes her own lyrics; and she's RAW.
So, everyone, meet Skiddalz. I encourage you to visit the website that she built herself, watch the video clip on the homepage and check her out for yourself. Your time will not be wasted.

Houston, TX - Last Thursday's Town Hall Meeting on behalf of Trae Tha Truth resulted in a community call-to-action by local activist, Deric Muhammad and others in protest of 97.9 The Box and parent company, Radio One's alleged tortious interference in the business life of the rapper. A packed room called for a week-long boycott of the station by Houston's Hip Hop fans to begin at midnight on June 6th.
Trae addressed the room, explaining his reasons for taking the ongoing situation as far as he has, saying that he feels it is time that someone stood up against what's wrong, urging the community for whom he has done so much, to do the same.
The artist, who in 2008 was honored with his own day by the city of Houston (July 22nd) for his many contributions to the community is this time asking his community to stand by him. By way of thanks, he is leaking the below song for fans.
