Chicago, IL, 12/31/08 (Hip Hop PR Wire) — The music and future hits continue as Urban Tracks Entertainment subsidiary, Heat City Records plans to start 1st quarter 2009 with the grass-roots marketing of Hip Hop act Tizzle and Streetz’ EP, ‘What Ya On.’ "We will roll out the video to the single, ‘Leanin 2 Da Side’ ,the first week of January 2009 and begin promotion at radio later that month." states Heat City CEO Rodney K. Jackson, a BMI award-winning songwriter and producer. Plans are underway for a West Coast promotional tour starting in L.A. for the pre-Grammy events and performances in Phoenix, AZ during All-Star Weekend. More dates to be confirmed along with show dates and appearances in different markets across the nation. There are also plans for a second video single ‘So Fine’ toward the end of the quarter.

The label will also prepare for the release of the first compilation from digital music company and quarterly artist contest, upicktheartists.com

Upicktheartists.com has begun the process of signing artists for their first quarter compilation. Fifteen artists will be picked to release their song through Heat City Records (currently distributed by Adrenaline/ADA/Warner Music). Like Myspace.com, artists can upload their bio, songs, videos, and photos. But the difference is that artists have thirty days to secure the most votes and positive comments from their fans.

The top vote-getters will be featured on the compilation "Upicktheartist.com Vol.1" and have the opportunity to release their full album as well. The difference in our business model is that Heat City Records will also handle radio promotion, web/video promotion, and street marketing for these artists." We can use our vast database acquired from four company-owned websites and banner space to help promote". "The beauty is in the brand and not the technology. We are dependent on user (voter) input."

"This is the model we prefer to use because it allows the listener to comment and vote on their favorite artists, in turn these artists build a dedicated fanbase." states Upicktheartists President David Cunningham.

"With over 100 artists competing for the chance to have major distribution and promotion, it finally gives great independent artists the opportunity for broader exposure and promotion." says Jackson.
Upicktheartists.com will also have guest "A&R" and industry veterans giving feedback and suggestions to artists.

The competition originally slated to begin January 1st, 2009 will extend registration for artists and voters to January 14th, 2009, 11:59pm CST. Contest will start at midnight on January 15th, 2009 and last to February 15th, 2009 6pm CST. Video coverage of results will broadcast weekly on http://www.upicktheartists.com and http://youtube.com/heatcityrecords.

Promise, a lyrically phenomenal hip hop artist/ innovative music producer has just released a street banger, entitled "Pretty Beast." This track has caught the attention of DJ’s, College and Radio Stations worldwide and has already successfully sold over 150,000 copies via internet.

New York, NY, 12/31/08 (Hip Hop PR Wire) — The single, "Pretty Beast" is a true representation of what I call " Real Hip Hop." Promise’s lyrical content is indeed on a plateau unattainable to many. After listening to every line in every bar, I have come to the realization that there are no Mc’s, (male or female) out right now who can hold a light next to this girl. I have never in my many years of being a fan of hip hop heard such raw metaphors unleashed with a by a sexy women with the face of a next top model. Not only is Promise lyrically a beast but she has perfected the ability to create really good music. She has the talent to relate to people of all different walks of life. There is no barrier when it comes to writing. She writes about everything, from staying fresh, to the "N" word, and not to mention her sexuality/life. Promise definitely has a controversial side that sets her apart from everyone else. Lady Promise is a pure threat, a force to be reckoned with and once again a true representation of what is currently lacking in this industry, "Real Hip Hop."

As previously stated, Lady Promise has also produced many of her own tracks. She writes her own lyrics and to add to the list, she even ghost writes for unsigned talent and artists with current record deals as well. Promise has also built her own home recording studio, engineers her own sessions and mixes her own projects. What female MC do you know in the "hood" with the knowledge, perseverance and skill to do what many artists with a "record deal" can not and will never be able to do?

This Pretty Beast, has been blessed enough to work with Producer and Hip Hop Legend Maseo from De La Soul. Her extraordinary talent as a young teen has also earned her the opportunity to tour with De La Soul on their NY College Tour back in 1997. " Promise has also worked with DJ Rob, a hot producer from Brooklyn who produced the "Super Brooklyn" Radio Hit for the Co Co Brovas featuring Mr. Cheeks. She has performed everywhere, from the Apollo in Harlem, NY to Hip Hop Showcases all over the south.

"Promise is a soldier, destined to lead. The game is over, Hip Hop has now been freed!"

‘Official Vodka of New Year’s Eve’ Partners with the NYC Taxi & Limousine Commission and E! Entertainment to Promote Responsibility During Big Night

NEW YORK, Dec. 30 /PRNewswire/ — In an unprecedented effort to promote sophisticated celebration this holiday season, the makers of CIROC Ultra Premium Vodka — the "Official Vodka of New Year’s Eve" — and Sean "Diddy" Combs will provide thousands of New Yorkers and visitors to the city with a chance for a safe ride home on New Year’s Eve by helping to pick up Yellow Cab fares.

In partnership with the New York City Taxi & Limousine Commission (TLC) and E! Entertainment, Diddy and CIROC will distribute thousands of debit cards, valued up to $15, in high-traffic New York City locations for use in one of the city’s 13,000-plus taxicabs on New Year’s Eve, so adult revelers can get home safely. CIROC and E! Entertainment are further supporting the initiative with a message from Combs currently running on taxicab televisions in New York City through January 1, 2009.

"As the ‘Official Vodka of New Year’s Eve,’ we have a responsibility to remind everyone to get home safely on this most celebratory of nights," said Combs, who entered into a strategic marketing alliance with the spirit brand more than one year ago. "New York is the world’s most iconic New Year’s Eve city, so let’s lead by example and show everyone that a sophisticated holiday celebration doesn’t just end when the ball drops, but when everyone gets home safely."

"It is always good to see companies like CIROC highlighting the importance of safety and responsibility," added Matthew W. Daus, Taxi and Limousine Commission Chairman. "Social responsibility and the taxicab industry have always gone hand in hand, so we appreciate CIROC’s partnership with the industry to ring in 2009 by helping people to celebrate in a thoughtful and intelligent way."

CIROC street teams will distribute thousands of debit cards to adult consumers (while supplies last) in Manhattan between 11:00 p.m. on New Year’s Eve and 3:00 a.m. on New Year’s Day. Each debit card will provide up to $15.00 in cab fare — the approximate cost of a single taxicab fare within New York City.

CIROC also debuted recently a social responsibility-focused television spot as part of the brand’s widely publicized "Art of Celebration" campaign. The campaign encourages consumers to "Celebrate Life Responsibly" by always making sure to have a designated ride home.

E! is also extending the message nationally with the network’s "Drive Safe" campaign, including on-air spots that feature some of today’s hottest celebrities encouraging responsible choice making and offering people a solution to find a safe ride home. Viewers can text "Drive Safe" to 37373 from their wireless devices to receive taxi contact information in their area. Standard text message rates apply.

"E! is committed to providing an easy way for people to party responsibly not just on New Year’s Eve but any time, any where," said Suzanne Kolb, Chief Marketing Officer, E! Entertainment and The Style Network; General Manager, E! Online. "We are thrilled to be working with CIROC and Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs to highlight this important cause."

Federal Way, WA, 12/30/08 (Hip Hop PR Wire) –  Brave New World, Inc (BNW) will present YOUth!: COMMUNITIES PROACTIVELY UNITING TO STOP TEEN VIOLENCE January 10th at Federal Way High School’s gymnasium from 1:30pm to 3:30pm. This event is a direct response to the uprising in gang violence that has involved and affected our community’s teenagers.

Hosted by Hip Hop Activist and radio show host, Keith Tucker of The Keith Tucker Show, the presentation will feature live music and an interactive Q&A with artist and BNW President/CEO, Shyan Selah. Selah, who has been an active force in community endeavors has spent the last 10 years visiting and performing at community centers, alternative schools, middle schools, high schools and colleges all along the West Coast and has acted as a reliable and relatable mentor to pre-teens and teenagers.

"Either you are a part of the solution or a part of the problem," says Selah. "I consider myself a solutionist and our young people are suffering when they shouldn’t have to. A lot of my work is based on bringing these issues to light for the purposes of providing new and efficient answers for today’s youth generation."

Selah says adults involved in sports and entertainment are often placed in a particular group of role models that young people feel that they can relate to more than others. He states that being a Hip Hop artist and entrepreneur has allowed his contact with them to include conversations that range from how to get into the music business to the state of their home lives and what happens to them on the streets. It is because of this unique platform for communication that Selah and Brave New World, Inc were asked to partner with both the Southwest Boys & Girls Club of King County as well as the Dr. Maxine Mimms Academies for Suspended and Expelled Youth.

Brave New World says everyone in the community, including teenagers, are invited to attend the YOUth! Event but there is a special emphasis on inviting parents, teachers, coaches and other community leaders who have consistent contact with the youth.

Topics that will be discussed at the event include stopping the violence, insights as to why this may be happening, how parents can find out if their children are involved in gangs, who are the main influences in a teenager’s life, the importance of communication and the link between money and violence.

Selah says although there have been many discussions about teen violence in the recent months, his company is taking a new and progressive approach by directly tying in a huge influence for many of these teens: Hip Hop.

"Music is the heartbeat of humanity regardless of its genre," Selah says. "Hip Hop is unique in the sense that musically it pulls from all genres, but its content, though oftentimes controversial, addresses the issues of society head on. Though it is part of my profession as a talent, it is the substance of my leadership as an activist."

The YOUth! Event is presented by BNW and is not a Federal Way School District event, however, all teachers, coaches and parents of students attending Federal Way elementary, middle and high schools are invited to attend. The event will also be sponsored by major businesses including the Federal Way Commons Macy’s, Boeing Credit Union(BECU), KUBE 93.3FM, Movin 92.5FM, and the digital music company, Soundload. Free refreshments will also be provided by Starbucks.

Tickets for the event are $10 with the proceeds going towards furthering the effort to combat youth violence and to bringing more safe and fun youth event programs to the community. Tickets can be ordered online at www.brownpapertickets.com/event/50905.

For a complete list of schools invited to the Federal Way School District YOUth! Event click here.

Brave New World, Inc. is currently working to expand this presentation to other school districts in Washington State including Tacoma and Seattle. If you are interested in bringing the YOUth! Event to your school, please contact Brave New World, Inc at (888) 927-2838 ext 150,  youth@planetbrave.com or press@planetbrave.com.

Los Angeles, CA (Billboard Publicity Wire/PRWEB ) December 29, 2008 — The multi-platinum producer and entrepreneur, Eric B. is breaking record deals for traditional as well as non-traditional music distribution. Music and Internet companies have proposals on the table to for Eric B. Feat. Avion album. The streets are talking about the new Eric B. project dropping sometime late spring 2009. Eric B. discovered the rapper, Avion, who delivers a unique sound and lyrics.

Born and educated in Brooklyn, NY, Avion has lived in Miami for ten years and both have an influence on his savvy style. Avion’s combination of east coast and southern appeal is the right mix for what music listeners want today. The single "Hit the Floor" with Rough Ryder RIAA Platinum rapper Jadakiss is on the hook. The Single already has rave reviews from several well-known industry music critics.

The interview took place in Eric B.’s head quarters, which is in one of his spacious mega mansions. Eric humbly says, "My goal is to build a 21st Century Motown. Motown an assembly line for hit music. Motown was a true music factory. Eric B. continues, saying, "Product with the Motown name is still viable ten, fifteen, years after its initial release. Most of the hits made a decade ago are still playing on the radio airwaves today. This year the company will build the 21st Century Motown, which has both a music and film ventures under development. Eric B. Music Group is aggressively building the next generation of producers…"

Eric B. Special Projects is working with strong, young, talented producers that are consistently delivering the goods. During the interview Eric B. recently produced a duet for teen phoneme, Corey Golden and other well-known Radio Disney talent. The song sounds like a piece from the Broadway play Grease.

"Eric B. feels that it is important that we build a foundation on good product. The music, and lyrics, come from sought after talent working under the Eric B. brand and quality control. Most of our producers may not have gotten the shot with another label. We looked to develop raw talent…Eric B. hand picked talent that we feel have potential to be the next breaking artist. Music reviews are coming back strong," According to Richard V. Mahee, Executive at Eric B. Special Projects.

In the mid 80′s managed by Russell Simmons, Eric B. was paid in full with a $1 million advance from a record company (the first ever in hip hop game). Eric B. also was advanced another $1 million from a publishing deal on week later. $2 million in advance for a project is not even obtained by many signed artists in 2008. The reason why is because "Eric B. brings the highest quality of product in everything that he does. The Eric B. featuring Avion project will also bring tremendous opportunities for our partners and sponsors to leverage their brands," Says Richard V. Mahee.

Eric B. is also known for chart breaking music, selling out concert halls to Madison Square Garden. "It will be interesting to see the span of generations that will come out to the show. The show will pack many coliseums to the max," Says Richard V. Mahee.

In the mid 1980′s, Eric B’s influence was the inspiration for trends such as the valor Fila tennis suits, which then cost $1,700 each at the time, heavy solid gold rope chains. Eric B. is now setting more luxurious trends amongst his peers and today’s youth markets. When it comes to lifestyle, Eric B. raises the bar and always has. "People remember Eric B. as the first one in the industry to drive a Rolls Royce (his first car), but many people do not know that Eric B. is also behind music trends like party remix "Pump up the Volume", which was produced by UK based M.A.R.S.," Notes Mahee.

His new project features the first artist to be released under Eric B. Music Group, "Avion". Eric did this album with "A" (Avion) because he enjoys working with great musicians. Avion is an exception. Eric B will release an exclusive interview, which will be released through Billboard Publicity Wire next week. The article will focus on how Eric B. is on top of the game and being paid in Full Twice.

Eric B. started his music career at a New York Radio Station WBLS doing street jams. "It is important to the industry that we have people who understand music making artist and repertoire (A/R) decisions." Adds Eric B. Who is the ultimate decision maker for our brand,

Coming from a background in radio, Eric B. hopes to continue to win over the ears and hearts of radio mix show DJ’s nationwide. Clubs and stations are starting to play the Eric B. feat. Avion record "Hit the Floor". The complete album, which has 19 songs, including "Hit the Floor", is under tight wraps until its release. The project is still untitled but has been played for a handful executives and insiders at and the other music publishing companies. The response is "this project will be a classic… Every song on the album is a hit record," Says Mahee. The team of executives and consultants are handing this project with special care. Eric dictates his ideas and concepts to Richard V. Mahee, who is known for his business development and marketing savvy have identified business targets of who we want to work with and are only knocking on those doors.

The video for "Hit the Floor" will hit the market in mid March. Eric B. Special Projects management team is also in negotiations with Boulevard Industries for a feature film, which is in pre-production. The cast will feature Eric B., Mahee and other members of Eric B. Special Projects executive management team such as: Supreme, Eddie Fuqon Brown, Freedom, John Cato, talent Avion and hot rising star model TL Blake. TL Blake now 20-years-old is one of the hottest new talents to break into young Hollywood scene may be featured in the video. TL Blake was recently the only teen model named to Stars Confidential Most Popular Teen List and Cultural Mall 100 Most Beautiful Worldwide List. TL Blake is now breaking out in to music videos and feature films. Casting for the project begins January 15th 2009.

Eric B. Special Projects is booking a series of shows (events) in major markets with a well-known international nightclub chain. "The vibe is luxurious private, mature and intimate…Its about spending time with fans, friends and family to come out and enjoy themselves," Says Mahee. Tickets for our club dates are rumored that VIP tickets start as high as $250 per person. No comment on the price for general entry as of yet. The events will launch off during the 51st Grammy Award Weekend.

Eric B and Avion will also do a series of Concerts dates which are already being scheduled for summer 2009. Eric B. and his legal team, headed by Washington D.C. based lawyer Floyd Blair, will make a decision on what deal Eric B. Music Group will sign before the album is dropped summer 2009. The Eric B. Feat. Avion single "Hit the Dance Floor" is released the January 7, 2009.
