J Dilla’s Mother Pays Tribute To Son By Attending Lupus Event,

Maureen Yancey, the mother of the late hiphop producer J Dilla, arrived with “Hustle & Flow’s” Taraji P. Henson at a star studded benefit last night, organized to raise money for Lupus L.A., an organization formed six years ago by Daniel Wallace, MD, one of the country’s most prominent Lupus specialists. The event was held to raise money for research through the Lupus Institute. Mrs. Yancey’s son, the beloved hiphop producer, J Dilla, passed away on February 10, as a result of his battle with Lupus. Despite Dilla’s illness, he still managed to produce successful records, and he never lost his dedication to hiphop. Mrs. Yancey is urging hiphop fans to get involved in the quest for a cure.

Also at the evening's event, billed as “An Evening of Love, Light and Laughter,” were luminaries including actress Sharon Stone, Jason Alexander, and Omar Epps from the Fox Network’s Golden Globe winner television show “House.” Epps presented an award to the show’s Creator/Executive producer David Shore for his contribution to Lupus Awareness. Other honorees of the evening included some of the doctors who have been in the frontlines of the war against the illness, which as yet still has no cure. 

Also attending were Howie Dorough of the Backstreet Boys and actress Kelly Stone, both of whom lost a sister to the illness. Malcolm Jamal Warner, Wayne Newton, Shari Belafonte and Scott Grimes were among the many other stars that attended to offertheir support.

As part of the proceedings, Glenn Frey of the Eagles performed at the event. The Eagles’ greatest hits album is the highest selling album of all time. Ms. Yancey says she hopes that hiphop artists will also lend their talents to help raise money for a cure, and that some of them have already contacted her, offering to get involved.

Lupus is one of the country’s most prevalent, unpredictable and potentially fatal diseases. It affects over two million Americans, most of whom are women. It is very difficult to diagnose. Lupus is a leading cause of stroke, kidney and premature cardiovascular disease in young women.

Mrs. Yancey says she fears that too many men may get diagnosed too late, thinking it could not happen to them.  The illness is three times more likely to strike black women than white women.

Ms. Yancey states that her son had told her that he planned to commit himself to making more people aware of the illness, but tragically, he never had that chance.  She urges people in the hiphop community to get involved, and to also make sure they don’t have the illness, themselves. “Everyone’s case is different,” she points out, “and therefore, too many people may not realize they have it until it is too late.”

She adds, “It is time for people to get involved.”  In addition to helping save lives, it is a meaningful way to pay tribute to one of hiphop’s prolific producers.

Brooklyn Museum Presents Graffiti Exhibition June 30 to September 3, 2006

The Brooklyn Museum presents Graffiti from June 30 to September 3, 2006, an exhibition of twenty large-scale works from such influential artists as Michael Tracy ("Tracy 168"), Melvin Samuels, Jr. ("NOC 167"), Sandra Fabara ("Lady Pink"), Chris Ellis ("Daze"), and John Matos ("Crash"). Graffiti explores how a genre that began as a form of subversive public communication has become legitimate-moving away from the street and into private collections and galleries. 

Forms of graffiti have been discovered on ancient Roman, Pompeian, and Mayan architecture and like today were both illegal and a form of communication. Modern graffiti, which is associated with hip-hop culture and spans all racial and economic groups, began in the mid- to late 1960s in Philadelphia as a form of activist _expression and as a way for street gangs to mark their territory. By the early 1970s, it had made its way to New York City and quickly became a phenomenon. Urban youth used the sides of subway trains and buildings as their canvases, reclaiming segments of their neighborhoods by "tagging" them with stylized renditions of their names or the names of the groups they formed. At first graffiti was created with pens and markers, but spray paint, which is easy to use and works well on almost any surface, quickly became the medium of choice.

Soon a full-fledged graffiti style called "pieces" (from "masterpieces") evolved from simple designs into intricate interlocking letters with multiple colors. The self-taught graffiti artists turned the walls of public (and sometimes private) buildings into giant panoramas and subway cars into moving murals. Graffiti became a way of making a cultural mark and receiving recognition from peers. It was an act of defiance, a way to make one's voice heard despite limited opportunities.

Later, graffiti artists began to paint on canvas or large sheets of paper, attracting the attention of art dealers and collectors. One of the first dealers to collect graffiti was Sidney Janis. His heirs Carroll and Conrad Janis donated almost fifty works from his estate to the Brooklyn Museum in l999. Graffiti will be drawn primarily from this gift and supplemented by material from the Museum's Libraries and Archives.

Graffiti is organized by Charlotta Kotik, Curator and Chair, Department of Contemporary Art.

Rick Ross Slated for First Performance in Washington, D.C.

Rick Ross, Hip Hop's red-hot star, is set to take over the Nation's Capital with a landmark performance on Friday, May 19, 2006.

Washington, D.C. (PRWEB) May 5, 2006 -- Def Jam artist Rick Ross is indisputably billed Hip Hop’s hottest commodity by the industry and Hip Hop fans alike. This Miami-based artist and member of Slip-n-Slide crew (Trick Daddy, Trina, etc.) has permeated radio with the people’s anthem “Hustlin.” And now, Rick Ross is slated for his first performance in Washington, D.C. on Friday, May 19, 2006 at the Avenue Entertainment Complex. The concert, staged by Mad Power Unit, is going down as Rick Ross gears up for his summer debut release "Port of Miami."
They say that hustling makes the world go round and that there is a hustler in all of us. Maybe that is why after the keyboard intro of Rick Ross’ blockbuster hit “Hustlin” unfolds, everyone is invigorated. Rick Ross paints a vivid urban picture with his tale of life as he knows it in Miami. Far from the swank enclave of South Beach, Rick Ross’ world is one that vacationers know nothing of. On Friday, May 19, D.C.’s massive will travel on a wild-ride with Hip Hop’s latest gem, as he drops “Hustlin” and other hood rich sleepers, which were years in the making.
In the essence of “Hustlin,” the mega-concert will also feature D.E.B.O. and M.P.U. of Mad Power Unit Records, some of the industry’s biggest underground Hip Hop hustlers. Serving as the ultimate appetizer to Ross’ southern cuisine, the Mad Power Unit imprint’s sure-shot lyrical blazers will set the stage with hits like “So Hood” and others from "Joint Venture," Mad Power Unit Records upcoming album dedicated to D.C. Hip Hop.
With an entertainment/event production company and record label, Mad Power Unit is at the core of D.C. nightlife. Holding down impressive entertainment events for over a decade, while unleashing killer music and nurturing underground artists (destined for mainstream), Mad Power Unit is one step beyond. Rick Ross’ block buster concert will nicely add to MPU’s already stellar repertoire.

About the film

From the producer of the worldwide blockbuster hits "The Fast and The Furious" and its sequel, "2 Fast 2 Furious," comes the latest installment of the adrenaline-inducing series built on speed -- "The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift." Set in the sexy and colorful underground world of Japanese drift racing, the newest and fastest customized rides go head-to-head on some of the most perilous courses in the world.

Sean Boswell (Lucas Black) is an outsider who attempts to define himself as a hot-headed, underdog street racer. Although racing provides a temporary escape from an unhappy home and the superficial world around him, it has also made Sean unpopular with the local authorities. To avoid jail time, Sean is sent to live with his gruff, estranged father, a career military-man stationed in Tokyo.

Now officially a "gaijin" (outsider), Sean feels even more shut out in a land of foreign customs and codes of honor. But it doesn't take long for him to find some action when a fellow American buddy, Twinkie (Bow Wow), introduces him to the underground world of drift racing. Sean's simple drag racing gets replaced by a rubber-burning, automotive art form -- with an exhilarating balance of speeding and gliding through a heart-stopping course of hairpin turns and switchbacks.

On his first time out drifting, Sean unknowingly takes on D.K., the "Drift King," a local champ with ties to the Japanese crime machine Yakuza. Sean's loss comes at a high price tag when he's forced to work off the debt under the thumb of ex-pat, Han (Sung Kang). Han soon welcomes Sean into this family of misfits and introduces him to the real principles of drifting. But when Sean falls for D.K.'s girlfriend, Neela (newcomer Nathalie Kelley), an explosive series of events is set into motion, climaxing with an ultimate high stakes face off.

"The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift" is directed by Justin Lin ("Better Luck Tomorrow," "Annapolis") and written by Chris Morgan ("Cellular"), Kario Salem ("The Score") and Alfredo Botello. The film is produced by Neal H. Moritz ("xXx," "S.W.A.T.") and executive produced by Clayton Townsend ("The Skeleton Key," "The 40 Year-Old Virgin").

This film has not yet been rated. Please consult www.filmratings.com for further information.

Ben Gordon Brings Instant Energy to H3

Press Conferences Set for Public Debut of 'BG7'

NEW YORK, May 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Ben Gordon together with H3Enterprises, Inc. will be holding press conferences in Chicago and New York to publicly launch "BG7", the healthiest Energy Drink to hit the market to date. "BG7" is made with pure organic White Tea, which has five times the antioxidants and health benefits of Green Tea. The "BG7" celebrations will also include updated information relating to Gordon's ongoing relationship with HTRE as well as projected store-opening dates for H3's HipHopSodaShops in Manhattan. The first media event will take place in Chicago on Wednesday, May 17th at Michael Jordan's renowned 160 BLUE Restaurant at 2:00 PM, located at 1400 W. Randolph Avenue.

Gordon, a product of New York's Mount Vernon High School, led the UConn Huskies to their second NCAA championship in 2004 hitting an amazing number of clutch shots throughout the Big East and NCAA tournaments. His spectacular end of game heroics did not stop there. Ben became the first rookie in NBA history to win the prestigious "Sixth Man of the Year" award while having 21 double- digit fourth quarter games, a number only surpassed by LeBron James. Ben averaged 21 points a game and three assists in the Bulls recent six game series with the Miami Heat in the first round of the NBA playoffs.

"Joining TeamH3 and having my own energy drink is a tremendous opportunity," said Gordon. "BG7 will definitely bring high energy and good health to all of America. Being able to team up with some of the greatest talent in the business world also gives me a strong foundation for my future after basketball. I particularly want to thank my good friend, Adrian Walton, for introducing me to the H3 Family and making all of this possible."

"Ben Gordon is a shining example of how to be a superstar both on and off the court," said Brian "H3" Peters, President and Founder of HTRE. "He's always been a difference maker wherever he's played and wherever he lives. There's certainly no better person or player to have behind our WhiteTeaEnergyBlast than Ben Gordon himself, who through his endless array of buzzer beaters and overall 'Crunch Time' play has become the definition of the words 'Get Clutch'. It is truly a special honor for everyone associated with TeamH3 to welcome Ben aboard."

"Having a rising NBA superstar like Ben Gordon representing Team H3 says all you need to know about the future of our young company," said H3's Director of Corporate Communications and HarlemHoopHero, Adrian Walton. "HTRE is about creating economic empowerment through investment in our own culture and our own communities. Being able to be in business with some of my best friends and knowing the impact we can have as a team is as good as it gets."

Music Producer Plans to Help 10 or More Independent Artists Sell 100,000 CD's or Land a Major Distribution Record Deal

Chicago Based Producer AaronBeats launches "Virtual Producer" program to help 10 or more independent artists from all over the world become superstars through his production website.

(PRWEB) May 12, 2006 -- Chicago based "virtual producer" AaronBeats plans to turn 10 or more artists into independent superstars over the next 1-3 years, by either helping them to sell 100,000 CD's independently, or helping them secure a major distribution or record deal. He plans on doing this all through his website, www.aaronbeats.com

AaronBeats.com is a place for new artists and industry people to connect. The main service of the website is Hip-Hop and R&B Music Production. There are also beats for Gospel and Jazz.

The website allows independent artists who don't have major budgets to get hot, quality beats to use for their demos, promo albums, mixtapes, etc., without paying major prices. The site gives these users the sound that will enable them to draw a crowd, and get radio play and requests.

http://www.aaronbeats.com also provides artists with free tips, information, and resources for getting their music heard. It even allows users who purchase 2 or more beats to have their own webpage on the site. This gives them tons of exposure, and also gets them in front of major acts.

Major music industry professionals visit AaronBeats.com, so you never know who will get discovered. "I want to give people another way to get into the music business. It's harder today because of politics, and to be successful, you have to make your own way! AaronBeats.com helps artists make that way for themselves," says the young producer.

"Beats are a very important part of today's hip hop and r&b music. That is why major artists pay platinum producers hundreds of thousands of dollars for beats. The problem is, most new artists can't afford even $2000 just for one beat. And if you're a new artist, it makes no sense to spend $8000 for your very first demo."

AaronBeats.com also offers services to well established artists and major record labels, but at the same time serves as a medium for helping create tomorrow's new superstars.

sometimes resistant educational forums by just doing
what comes natural. Full Circle proudly references its
roots and style to street performing in NYC.

The company began as a duo which then invited retired
Hip-Hop DJ & B boy royalty to relight their fire and
reclaim their crowns. Before long, the phone wouldn't
stop ringing and their cast grew to include Beatboxers
and MC's of all ethnic backgrounds -not to mention
enough love to spare for women to train and represent
equally. Performances were requested for local
memorials, festivals, and fundraising efforts. Members
have the freedom to belong to other area crews and/or
to create their own groups so there is a network of
interactive empowerment (or as we say "Fam") of elders
and youth.

In the span of its underground and independent
existence, Full Circle has gone from hosting
international contemporary companies for exchange to
representing Hip-Hop at places once intangible to the
street vibe such as The John F. Kennedy Center for the
Performing Arts and The Library of Congress, both in
Washington D.C., where they have the credit of being
the first Hip-Hop group to grace the stage. This
soulful resilience is what keeps this company in demand
-bringing true NYC struggle to the surface as a way of
survival.

Music videos, tours, commercials and films have
featured members and students of Full Circle Prod as a
testament to the idea that art can become your career
if you are disciplined and ready to take risks.
Recently, a short documentary Visiones: Latino Culture
in the U.S. aired on PBS highlighting the ups and downs
of running a company, maintaining street credibility
and holding on to your cultural background. Workshops,
outreach, and residencies is the other way Full Circle
gives back and replenishes the cycles of growth in the
community.

The saying dancers come a dime a dozen does not
apply to B-Girling because the women who enter this
realm are self-appointed warriors. To be a B-Girl you
have mastered (or are mastering cuz I havent finished
my journey) a dance style created in the urban setting.
This dance never brought me glamour or material
possessions or commercial fame. Rather it is a channel
thru which aggression, freedom, and confidence are
expressed. The movements are asexual and become
testament to the power of the individual holding the
floor. Just like the women who do Capoeira, I surrender
to the music and take my place on that long line of
souljahs who embrace the possibility of pain, scrapes,
bruises and the humiliation of a serious injurythe
risk of miscalculating a move of falling from grace on
your face. Breaking is how I deal with violence,
injustice and impact in my life. What I get in return
is personal triumph over my own weakness of character.?

The Biggest Underground Hip Hop Record to Hit Retail Stores is 'Same Day, Different Sh*t' by Kurupt aka Young Gotti

Kurupt aka Young Gotti, 1/3 of Tha Dogg Pound, makes the biggest underground record in the West Coast with Same Day, Same Sh-t.

ATLANTA, GA (PRWEB) May 11, 2006 -- Kurupt a.k.a. Young Gotti is making the biggest underground record in West Coast history. Kurupt, 1/3 of the infamous Dogg Pound comes back with a fury. Everyone underground DJs and West Coast fans are rejoicing as they are set to purchase "Same Day Different Sh*t" released June 20th, 2006. Kurupt a.k.a. Young Gotti is dubbed as Gangsta Rap's most lyrical rapper. This CD is packed with a West Coast Gangsta anthem that Mom and Pop retailers, and the entire urban community is anticipating. Daz Dillinger explains, "Kurupt a.k.a. Young Gotti has potent lyrics. He has the ability to shut down anyone that comes up against him." Dillinger continues, "Kurupt has a fan base that is based on word of mouth alone." This is certainly true as Kurupt's home base is California, the mother of independent records, West Coast residents do not depend on the radio to dictate their purchasing power. Kurupt a.k.a. Young Gotti continued to successfully bring hits and an anthem that was fitting for any individual who was struggling in the ghettos of America. Arnold White reveals, "This album is just for those who like it raw, who would like to really get the uncut truth. He believes in staying true to his core fan base. While this may not give a lot of commercial success his art is not compromised."

Kurupt a.k.a. Young Gotti explains, "Same Day, Different Sh*t is an album that will do exactly what the record label wants it to do get into the hands of the core fan base of urban listeners, and they want something that will bang out their radio system as they ride in the neighborhoods trying to evade the every day pains of this system." This album will shed light on those who wanted to know if he still has it. Not only does he have it, he is able to flow against anyone that tests him. Brian Mccullin explains, "Many attribute Kurupt and try to make him a West Coast and regional artist, but people forget that he is a Universal Emcee. He has the agility to go against the grain and flow and bend with the times. That's what makes him so relevant."     This album is the 'gangsta's' anthem. It's a rap version of Marvin Gaye's soulful blues, every trouble and good time that an individual can have is right here on this album. From start to finish there is no disappointment.

DJ Who, Radio Director reveals, "A lot of people on the west coast are really dedicated to Kurupt. He isn't missing a beat. But this album is going to capture the east coast fan base who want to continue to stay true to the art of Hip Hop grit, grafitti, pain, and struggle, that expression. The Dogg Pound brings the art back to reality rap a picture black and white of what really is happening in the neighborhoods." DJ Who continues, "Let's face it this is for the Gangsters." Same Day Different Sh*T will show Kurupt a.k.a. Young Gotti's lyrical ability to devour anyone and anything to get in his way. Ms. Miller reveals, "There is no where for you to hide if you come up against Kurupt a.k.a. Young Gotti, he is just that crafty and skillful in his word play that he will make all pay homage rather you are friend or foe." Same Day Different Sh*T debuts June 20, 2006.

ABOUT KURUPT aka YOUNG GOTTI
Kurupt began his winding career with Death Row Records and rose to momentary fame alongside Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, but struggled to establish himself as a successful solo artist. Born Ricardo Brown in Philadelphia in 1972, as a teen he moved to Hawthorne, CA, where he befriended Snoop and joined the roster of Death Row Records. He debuted on Dre's Chronic album (1992) and continued to contribute guest appearances to successive Death Row releases, most notably Snoop's Doggystyle (1993). He ultimately debuted as one-half of Tha Dogg Pound, a partnership with rapper/producer Daz Dillinger spun-off from Snoop's enormous success at that time. Together with Daz and Snoop, Kurupt enjoyed sizable success with Dogg Food (1995) and its hit singles: "Let's Play House" and "New York, New York." Three years later the then-A&M-affiliated Antra Records released Kuruption! (1998), the rapper's ambitious double-disc solo debut. The album met modest success but did not make much of a commercial impact, nor did its tighter, more traditional follow-up, Tha Streetz Is a Mutha (1999). Kurupt's next release, Space Boogie: Smoke Odyssey (2001), aimed for crossover success, incorporating pop-rap elements as well as unlikely big-name guests like Fred Durst and Everlast, but again made little impact beyond the rapper's limited following. Meanwhile, Kurupt teamed with Daz for another Dogg Pound album, Dillinger & Young Gotti (2001), which presented a much more underground sound, released independently by D.P.G. Recordz. During the same time, Death Row released 2002 (2001), a collection of leftovers from Tha Dogg Pound's mid-'90s era. In the wake of these many releases and little
accompanying commercial success, Kurupt returned to the long-quiet Death Row label in 2002 and helped Suge Knight revive the infamous label.

Verizon Wireless Makes Teens Dreams Come True Bringing The Black Eyed Peas to San Fernando High School

SAN FERNANDO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 11, 2006--
San Fernando High School Placed First in a Verizon Wireless Competition in California to Have Grammy Winning Artists Play a Private Concert at Their School

Verizon Wireless today unveiled that out of over 10 million votes from 120 participating high schools statewide, San Fernando High School is the California school receiving the highly coveted prize of having multi-platinum artists The Black Eyed Peas perform a private concert at their high school. The private performance will take place today at 2pm PST on the football field, with an expected audience of up to 4,600 students.

The competition kicked off on November 4, 2005 and closed on January 9, 2006. The high school that sent the highest amount of votes via phone text messages and online invitations had the opportunity to invite the band to perform at their school. The competition was promoted on the web at www.blackeyedpeasconcerts.com and by the students themselves via downloadable fliers from the website. Verizon Wireless posted real time tabulations of votes so that participants could see the high schools that were competing and view their status.

San Fernando High School was mobilized by its physical education department faculty members who instructed students in how to use their phones to text vote, as well as assisted them in using the school's computer lab to enter votes when they did not have classes. Several of the student and faculty leaders will get to meet the band at the performance. Large screens will be set up at the concert for the high school students to send pictures and text messages from their phones to interact with the band and fellow students prior to the concert. As an added bonus, Verizon Wireless will randomly select five students who enter a sweepstakes prior to the performance to meet the band.

"I am so proud of the San Fernando High School students. Thanks to Verizon Wireless and this tremendous event, they learned to believe in themselves. Our students each possessed the desire and belief that this could happen. They proved to everyone that if you put your heart into something, great things can happen," said San Fernando Valley High School physical education teacher Jodi Eyraud.

"Verizon Wireless applauds the tenacity and teamwork of San Fernando High School students," said Gregg Yacovone, Director of Marketing for Verizon Wireless. "Today's youth demonstrate how wireless technology and mobile phones enhance the way fans can connect directly with their favorite artists."

The Black Eyed Peas have transcended their vigilant hip-hop roots and have become a global phenomenon, featuring the quartet of award winning artists -- William, Fergie, apl.de.ap and Taboo. The band's 2003's Elephunk was a breakthrough album for The Black Eyed Peas, vaulting them to a level of success unparalleled by any other hip-hop group -- selling 7.5 million albums worldwide, receiving 4 Grammy nominations and winning two Grammy awards. With the band's fourth album in 2005, Monkey Business, the band has further intensified their passion for making music together, and connecting with their audience through the most fundamental ways: making fans have a good time.

Earlier this year, facilitated by Verizon Wireless' ad campaign featuring "My Humps" and with the support of VCAST customers, The Black Eyed Peas crossed a historic threshold as their hit single "My Humps" passed the 2 million Master Tones sales in the US according to Universal Music Mobile, a division of Universal Music Group (UMG) making it the top selling Master Tone of all time, and the first to reach the 2 million landmark.
To keep up to date with The Black Eyed Peas' latest music, fans can download the band's full-length songs, ring tones, ring back tones and music videos to their Verizon Wireless VCAST music phones through the company's V CAST service. $15 V CAST subscription required.

RMD Entertainment to Begin Sales of DVD Magazine Project Through U.S. & International Retailers on July 4th, 2006

PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 11, 2006--RMD Entertainment Group (Pink Sheets:RMDG) announced today that the Company's long-awaited and highly-anticipated DVD magazine project, The Bay Area Block Stars, will be released on July 4th, 2006, officially hitting shelves of 'bricks and mortar' retailers in both the U.S. and in Europe. RMD Management has chosen to initialize distribution efforts on the retailing complex, focusing on such household names as Target (NYSE:TGT), Circuit City Stores, Inc. (NYSE:CC) and Wal-Mart Stores (NYSE:WMT) as opposed to utilizing RMD's existing relationships with nearly 60 global digital distributors. U.S. Distribution will be handled along side longtime distribution pioneers, Bungalo Records and Universal Music Group, a subsidiary of Vivendi Universal (NYSE:V) and Video Distribution, while The Pickwick Group Ltd. of London will handle retail placement abroad.

Beyond instant 'off the shelf' profitability, RMD executives are working with the creative forces behind The Bay Area Block Stars to explore non-traditional ways for a project this unique to reach the ideal consumer -- like making it available on Sony's (NYSE:SNE) PSP(TM) gaming and media platform or as a bonus feature accompanying other RMD products. On the more traditional side, RMD executives are quick to point out the extremely profitable advertising space available within the magazine and the perfect fit with their upcoming mobile platform, MoTV(TM).

RMD CEO Giorgio Costonis commented: "We are ecstatic to be able to merge our technology, content and vision into a project as poised to generate multiple revenue streams as this DVD magazine. Not only do we expect it to be profitable off the shelves, but we have also been able to thoroughly capitalize on the sale of advertising inside the product as well. Once we take this model and make it available on our own MoTV platform, the opportunities for revenue grow geometrically."

About RMD Entertainment Group
RMD Entertainment (RMD) is a cutting-edge entertainment company that is primarily focused on the development and international marketing of 'hip-hop' music, including compact discs, digital downloads, and personal 'ring tones' for mobile phone customers, as well as other 'hip-hop' lifestyle products. The Company has also created MoTV, the ability to stream video content to mobile devices, including cell phones and PDA's. RMD has significant successes internationally and its staff producers have collaborated with some of the most influential names in the music today including Sting, David Byrne of the Talking Heads, George Kranz, Freedom Williams of C & C Music Factory, Stevie Winwood, Robin Scott, and jazz saxophone legend Bill Evans, among others. The Company currently possesses an impressive hip-hop catalogue, which it distributes exclusively through Bungalo Records and Universal Music Group in North America and in Europe through the Pickwick Group Ltd. of London.

RMD also owns Sciax Technology, Inc. and Sciax America Inc., companies that develop and market defense imaging systems for law enforcement and military personnel engaged in counter-terrorism and other special security operations. Wolf Pack, the company's tactical remote viewing system, is manufactured under license from Eomax Corp. and is used by law enforcement and military organizations in North America and Europe. Customers include military and law enforcement agencies of the U.S. and German governments, contraband interdiction units of Canada Customs, and LAPD-SWAT.

MIAMI, May 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Emerging Miami-based label SouthBeat Records announced today that they have inked a production and distribution deal with independent distributor Alternative Distribution Alliance (ADA).

"It just feels great to know that the incredible catalogue of music we've been creating over the last year and half will have an outlet," says SouthBeat CEO and President Gregory Frankel. "ADA's independent mindset and major label muscle fits our profile perfectly."

Andy Allen, ADA President, concurs stating that "after meeting Greg Frankel and his staff, and hearing the music, I knew this was a unique distribution opportunity. Greg has some great marketing ideas and a real commitment to quality music," said Allen. "We're pleased he selected ADA as his distribution partner."

Busta Rhymes Readies Aftermath Debut

LOS ANGELES, May 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Multi-platinum recording artist Busta Rhymes will release his Aftermath Entertainment debut, "The Big Bang," on June 13, 2006. The album, his first in three years, showcases a combination of two of the most dynamic, creative forces in hip-hop music as Busta Rhymes teams with super-producer and Aftermath chief, Dr. Dre.

"The Big Bang's" initial offering, the Swizz Beatz produced "Touch It," and its remix, which features Mary J. Blige, Lloyd Banks, DMX, Rah Digga and Papoose, are currently searing airwaves worldwide. ("Touch It (Remix)" has been atop the UK's 1Xtra Official Hip-Hop Chart for 14 consecutive weeks). The second single, the offbeat "I Love My Bitch," which features Kelis and is produced by the Black Eyed Peas' will.i.am, has had similar success in the short time since its release.

Throughout "The Big Bang," Busta Rhymes hosts an array of worthy collaborators, most notably Stevie Wonder, who graces "Been Through the Storm." He moves from one funk and soul legend to another; this time, Rick James, who appeared on the song "In the Ghetto" shortly before his death.

Dr. Dre, who signed Busta Rhymes to Aftermath, commented: "All of a sudden I'm hearing people in the streets talking about how Busta's back. In my mind, he never left, and that's why I wanted to f*ck with him in the first place. He's got that drive, and he never stops trying to top himself. Anybody who knows Busta knows that he's always gonna come with heat."

Dre's influence pervades. He provides the musical backdrop for, among others, "This Is How We Do It Over Here," which features Missy Elliott. "The Big Bang" also boasts guest appearances from Raekwon, Marsha Ambrosius of Floetry, and Q-Tip.

An impressive collection of today's finest producers complement Dr. Dre's efforts, including Timbaland, G-Unit's Sha Money XL, Jelly Roll, Green Lantern, and Jay Dilla as well as the aforementioned Swizz Beatz, and will.i.am.

"The Big Bang" is Busta Rhymes' seventh solo album. It follows the platinum-selling "It Ain't Safe No More." Fans will recall that Dr. Dre and Busta Rhymes first linked up for "Break Ya Neck" the wildly popular single from Busta Rhymes's fifth platinum album, Genesis.

Jams
and a recent New Joint on BETs 106 & Park. The group has performed
on
Showtime at the Apollo (aired 4/29 and re-airs 10/2), BETs Spring
Bling
(aired 4/15) and Direct TVs CD USA (aired 4/22). They will also grace
the
June 2006 cover of Ozone Magazine.

This album is reminiscent of 2 Live Crew music. Songs like On Me,
Girls I
Know featuring D4Ls Fa-bo, Gyrate, and Stripleader make a perfect
soundtrack for a bachelor party. Til Yo Back Get So is dance-centric
and
offers a central groove for leaning and rocking around syncopated
techno
keys. Go Dumb Remix is a tribute to the Bay Areas hyphy movement.
This
is one of the songs that show that Da Muzicianz are very much in tune
with
their hip-hop environment outside of Atlanta. The track, produced by
Cheesy,
contains a galactic flute over a hard-hitting 808 drop.

Young Jeezy and Paul Wall to Perform at Boost Mobile RockCorps' Concert at Atlanta's Legendary Fox Theatre

Platinum-Selling Recording Artists Return to the South to Perform Exclusively for 3,000 Local Youth Volunteers

NEW YORK, May 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Boost Mobile RockCorps (BMRC), the national youth volunteerism movement that motivated more than 6,000 young people to get involved and help their community last year, today announced that recording artists Young Jeezy and Paul Wall will join a stellar list of artists performing at this year's televised Atlanta concert event on June 16th at the Fox Theatre. Atlanta native, Young Jeezy and Paul Wall will return to their Southern roots to perform for 3,000 hard-working local youth who volunteered four hours of community service through BMRC to earn tickets to this ultra-exclusive event.

RockCorps, an organization harnessing the power of music to inspire volunteerism, and Boost Mobile, a wireless telecommunications brand dedicated to boosting the lives of today's youth, have partnered to continue the youth movement for social change. Combining the power of music, community and volunteerism, Boost Mobile RockCorps will offer entrance to this summer's most popular concerts for which the only way in is to earn tickets by contributing four hours of volunteer service.

With the South serving up some of the hottest products in the music industry, ATL native Young Jeezy stands as one of the most influential and exciting artists to emerge from the scene. Across the country, Young Jeezy has created nothing short of a movement with the release of his platinum selling debut album "Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101."

Houston native Paul Wall, whose latest album release "The People's Champ," debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart, is also back to support the BMRC cause after performing at last year's legendary Radio City Music Hall concert event.

This year's volunteers will work on a range of service projects, in partnership with local non-profit organizations, including school and playground renovations, environmental initiatives, food distribution and much more. The BMRC program will build throughout the summer with stops in Houston, Chicago, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Detroit, Los Angeles, New York and Washington, D.C. By the end of the 2006 tour, which concludes with a signature televised concert at Radio City Music Hall in New York City on September 23rd, BMRC volunteers will have contributed approximately 40,000 hours of community service and transformed close to 125 project sites in eight cities across the country.

People interested in participating at any of the upcoming BMRC events are encouraged to log onto http://www.boostmobilerockcorps.com/ or call 888-ROCK-889 for more information and to register for membership. Boost Mobile RockCorps members will be notified of opportunities in their area to volunteer and asked to commit four hours to a specific event or ongoing cause.

About RockCorps

RockCorps is an organization that harnesses the power of music to inspire volunteerism. Based on the early work of The Greenbucks Foundation, RockCorps was founded in 2003 to affect social change and act as the bridge between communities in need and the young adults who want to make them better. RockCorps' goals are to introduce volunteerism to teens and young adults, motivate people to volunteer in their community and launch a national movement. The company has formulated a unique blend of music, community and volunteerism to expose young people to simple ways they can proactively contribute to the greater good. The program employs music as an incentive to entice and then funnel volunteers through established non-profit organizations. By completing four hours of community service, each participant receives a ticket to a signature RockCorps event which features performances by some of the hottest names in music. Experience shows that after volunteering once with RockCorps, young people are twice as likely to do it again.

Based in Irvine, California, Boost Mobile is a lifestyle-based telecommunications brand focused on offering premium Pay-As-You-Go wireless phones and services to the youth market.
