TRAE THA TRUTH AND ROB G SHOW YOU BOTH SIDES OF THE FENCE - MIXTAPE AVAILABLE FEBRUARY 17TH

http://www.myspace.com/traethatruth

http://www.myspace.com/robgcampaign

Unity is a word that has been thrown around a great deal of late, but there is generally a lack of any real evidence of it in the streets. Color, or geography, are often the lines that divide and it can be hard to look past those things and find a commonality. Music, though, can be that bridge and Houston artist Rob G seeks to use that tool to illustrate that despite outward appearances, there is more to unify us all than a casual glance might indicate.

Black and Brown Sounds: Both Sides of the Fence will be a multi-volume mixtape of all original, unreleased tracks that bring some of the best that Texas' rap world has to offer - both Black and Latino - under one umbrella. Volume 1, co-hosted by Trae Tha Truth, which already has over 5,000 pre-orders, hits stores on February 17th. Later volumes will be co-hosted by well-known rap artists from 'both sides of the fence."

Each successful in their own right, Trae Tha Truth and Rob G have been doing their independent thing in Texas for some time now and have also collaborated on some very successful street records (How You Like Me Now, Road to Success); there is a chemistry. Finding themselves under the same management team put them on the road together, giving each a chance to really interact with one another's fan base. Thus, the concept for Both Sides of the Fence was born.

A promo tour is currently in the works in support of Both Sides of the Fence: Volume 1 that is expected to hit every major stop in Texas as well as Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Alabama and even California. Stay tuned for routing news.

Below, you can download 2 sample tracks from Both Sides of the Fence and online orders can be made via each artists' MySpace page.

She focuses on complete control and ownership for the independent label in all of her deals. Master P was the first artist to keep control and ownership of 100% of his masters for No Limit.

According to Nancy Cambino, the station's operations manager, “Valentine's Day should stand for love so we find it fitting to make the Friday the 13th right before Valentine’s Day a day for revenge for those who were unlucky in love. Whether you're a Rihanna fan or not, we can all empathize with being with someone who caused love to go wrong.”

INTRO'S OPINION ON THE 50 CENT RICK ROSS BEEF

Ok, so I had this interesting convo with Dj L nyce from Rapstarpromo. The conversation was about will the album "Deeper Than Rap" out sell The book "Deeper Than Rap". In my personal opinion I believe that the book will out sell the album and this is my reasoning: "Everybody loves gossip". The book will do better simply because there are many of us who want more information on the life of Rick Ross. Women will get the book while men will purchase the Cd. Besides we all know that 50 is going to make sure that all the juicy gossip is in the book.

DJ REVOLUTION TOUR ASIA - MARCH 2009 AUSTRALIA - MAY 2009 UK/EUROPE - APRIL 2009


2-rev




DJ Revolution said it best in a recent interview, "the connection be-
tween the DJ and the emcee has been severed. "King of The Decks"
is myattempt at reconnecting it." DJ Revolution did just that with
his new album,as he brought together some of the most talented
names in Hip Hop today, who not only produce quality music,
but also respect the craft of the DJ Culture.

DJ Revolution has spent 15 years perfecting that craft on the 1200's.
He's currently behind the wheels of the longest running Hip Hop show
in the history of commercial radio, "THE WORLD FAMOUS WAKE
UP SHOW alongside Sway & King Tech.

Aside from his weekly duties on the show based out of LA on Power
106
, and syndicated Worldwide, he has lent his now infamous scratch
techniques to countless records and his production skills to many
established artists. REV has also taken his skillz to the far corners
as the globe and ripped clubs in locations such as Japan, Europe,
Australia and New Zealand. He has also shared the stage DJ'ing
for many artists including legends like Rakim all the way to current
superstars such as Kanye West. Revolution has released two of his
own Full length LP's ("In 12's we trust/R2K") and one with his
partners Sway & Tech ("This or That").

As DJ Revolution readies "KING OF THE DECKS," in stores on
September 16th, he divulged further on the issues of the lack of
communication between the MC and THE DJ stating that it "is
one of the most obvious reasons Hip Hop has devolved so
drastically over the years. Since MC's in general decided to toss
aside the DJ as an asset and integral part of their success from
production to performance, the music has suffered tremendously.
My goal is to re-introduce to the world what a DJ is. He or She is
not just a celebrity, or someone who plays records, or makes
funny sounds with turntables. He or she is all of that and more.
I recruited some of the most legendary and also most talented
up and coming artists to help me express all of this within the
context of the music.

The title of the album is by no means a way of saying I'm the
best on the turntables. "King of the Decks" is obviously just a
play on words related to a deck of cards. However, it is also a
statement that needs to be remembered. The DJ is King.
