DAME GREASE "GOON MUSIK" - Available May 27, 2008
HARLEM, New York, May 1, 2008 - Multi-platinum producer Dame Grease, who has crafted hits for such artists as DMX, Jay-Z, and The LOX, has channeled his gritty and aggressive stylings into the long awaited inaugural release, "Goon Musik," due out May 27th on Vacant Lot / Babygrande. A truly novel concept album (and first of a budding franchise), "Goon Musik" not only features Grease on the boards for all thirteen tracks, but also introduces him as a veritable force on the mic, alongside "The Goon Squad" (a pairing between Meeno, Tanya "T6" and NY's renowned "Lenox Ave Boyz"), Max B. and more.
In honor of the album's release, Dame Grease is running a third installment of his Free Beat Contest. Grease will be releasing a free instrumental that would normally be valued at approximately $30,000. Unsigned artists will be able to submit a song over the instrumental with a winner to be chosen to Grease. The contest is sponsored by Gino Green Global.

On May 24th, 3 days prior to the release of "GOON MUSIK," Dame Grease is set to hit the stage and perform live with Latin Superstar Tego "El Abayarde" Calderon at the UTOPIA PARADISE THEATRE in the Bronx. Dame Grease will serve as the musical director introducing the Reggaeton Superstar to the raw infectious gritty sounds of LOT MUSIK. The concert will be an impeccable collaboration between two musical trendsetters and include the announcement of the winner of the Dame Grease FREE Beat Contest. When asked about the album, Grease is both humble and appreciative as he states, "The media support has been monumental for a small independent album. It is an album that I thought was going to be underground, but y'all are taking me major! Good looking to everybody. And thank you to everyone at Vacant Lot."
Grease has also released "RESPECT THE PRODUCER: The Best of Dame Grease Instrumentals," a collection of the instrumentals to his biggest hits that is available on Sno Cap and Soul Pitch Hustle www.soulpitchhustle.com.
A hard-hitting collection of street-ready anthems, "Goon Musik" both pays tribute to the early nineties New York street-inflected hip-hop
that spawned illustrious careers from the likes of Mobb Deep, TheWu-Tang Clan and many more, and puts New York back on the map as a hotbed of flourishing hardcore street talent.
