Battery Records to release long-awaited Q-Tip album Kamaal the Abstract

Innovative recording cements Tip's rep as greatest MC/producer of all time

June 30, 2009, New York, NY- In these hard times, we can all stand a ray of hope. Hope in hip-hop now comes from the legendary Q-Tip, he of A Tribe Called Quest fame. His long-delayed album Kamaal the Abstract, slated originally for release in 2001, is finally dropping September 15th on Battery Records. A musical hybrid, Kamaal was commendably avant-garde at the time of its creation. Amazingly, it's even more apropos in 2009; given the dearth of musical merit and capable MCs in today's hip-hop, the time is ever-so-right for Tip.

Kamaal the Abstract is an intensely idiosyncratic and revealing record. To that end, Q-Tip produced the entire album himself, even playing several instruments. What comes from Kamaal is a daring mélange of soul, supa-cool jazz, headnodding hip-hop, and organic pop magic in the vein of Stevie Wonder or Prince. Check for the superlative figures of saxophonist Kenny Garrett, a one-time member of Miles Davis' ensemble, on the breathy "Abstractionisms." Or the fluid flute lines of Gary Thomas, another Davis sideman, on "Do U Dig U." Elsewhere, note Tip's ambitious production, arrangements, and even sung stylings.

But make no mistake: Kamaal the Abstract still boasts all the earmarks of Q-Tip's inimitable mic control. Listen to him blaze through a spiced narrative on "Even If It Is So." Or paint vivid images on "Blue Girl." The album has been re-mixed and re-mastered for sonic impact, though it retains the original album artwork.  Neil Levine SVP/GM of Battery Records is proud to release this buried treasure from Q-Tip:  "Kamaal the Abstract/Q-Tip is a true visionary and ahead of his time. These songs sound more contemporary now than when they were first recorded". Kamaal the Abstract drops September 15th. Better late than never.

J.U.S.T.I.C.E. LEAGUE ADD ASCAP RHYTHM & SOUL AWARD TO THEIR LIST OF GROWING ACCOLADES

Los Angeles, CA - Adding to their growing list of awards and accolades, Tampa production trio, J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, brought home an ASCAP Rhythm & Soul Award from their recent trip to L.A. this past Friday for their work on last year's smash single, She Got It.

The name of J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League is quickly becoming synonymous with rich, theatrical sound, filled with live instrumentation (between them the guys play about 12 instruments) and it is de rigueur for their work to be singled out in album reviews; Rick Ross' Deeper Than Rap being the most recent. The industry is definitely taking notice as artists from those up-and-coming and seeking a bonafide single to music's elite flock to book time in J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League's Atlanta studio. Recent and upcoming collabos include Maino's Here Comes Trouble, for the film and soundtrack to Antoine Fuqua's upcoming film, Brooklyn's Finest, P Diddy, Fabolous, Young Jeezy, Ludacris, Plies, Yo Gotti, Busta Rhymes, Drake, OJ Da Juiceman, Ghostface and of course, Mary J Blige with whom the trio won a 2006 Grammy for their work on The Breakthrough.

Stay tuned for more J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League updates coming soon.

D. Black To Release New Album Ali'Yah

Sportn' Life Records & MYX Music Label Team Up To Release New D. Black Album September 15

(June 30, 2009 - Brooklyn, NY) D. Black, a Seattle, Washington-based emcee, is proud to announce the release of Ali-Yah. The album, D. Black's sophomore effort, which features production from Jake One and Vitamin D, will be available September 15 via Sportn' Life Records/MYX Music Label.

There are defining moments in every career. Moments of ascension; moments when taking the step from one level to the next is not only inevitable, but necessary. For D. Black, an emcee many first heard on the track "God Like" from producer Jake One's White Van Music, that defining moment is now, and it comes in the form of the emcee's sophomore album, Ali'Yah (Hebrew for Ascend). Praised for his polished rhyme flow, D. Black's new record, and the sound he self-describes as "deep-rooted soul with heavy slapping drums," will help define him as an emcee and a person. D. Black says, "I began recording a different album almost 2 years ago. In the midst of creating that album, I realized it wasn't for me; I was making music contrary to my inner person. Ali'Yah captures me in the midst of a spiritual journey that has altered my way of being even in my physical life." The result, an album inspirational both musically and conceptually, is finally ready.

D. Black has been a staple of the Sportn' Life Records roster for some time. However, the Seattle rapper's new LP, Ali'Yah, will be released jointly through Sportn' Life Records and MYX Music Label. MYX Music Label, the Bay Area-based label that recently released the highly acclaimed debut album from Keelay & Zaire, Ridin High, is a label quickly making a name for itself in the hip-hop world. Partnering with Sportn' Life Records for the release of D. Black's new album is another big step for the label. Karim Panni, MYX Music label head and long-time fan of D. Black's work, is excited to be a part of the project, seeing the partnership with Sportn' Life Records as a no-brainer. Karim says, "You see two artists collaborate all the time, and for an artist like D. Black, with such a great new album, we thought combining the resources of two record labels would be a great move to give this album the attention it deserves." On September 15, the fruits of the partnership between the two labels will be realized as fans finally get a chance to hear Ali'Yah.

Born and raised in Seattle, Washington, D. Black's musical roots are deep, with his mother and father both involved in pioneering hip-hop groups in the Seattle music scene. In 2006, D. Black released his debut album, The Cause & Effect, a huge regional success, allowing the emcee to share the stage with Nas, Freeway, Bun B, Clipse, Paul Wall, The Boot Camp Click, and more. After being mentored by Vitamin D, a staple and veteran of the Seattle hip-hop scene, D. Black began making a name for himself by working on projects with producer Jake One. One such collaboration resulted in D. Black being featured on Jake One's White Van Music, on the track "God Like," helping to cement the Seattle emcee as a household name beyond the Pacific Northwest. Jake One and Vitamin D were also both instrumental in helping D. Black create his new album, offering guidance and production on the record, along with D. Black, whose own production work has been featured on projects from Young Buck and 50 Cent. D. Black's new album, Ali'Yah, will be available September 15 via Sportn' Life Records/MYX Music Label.

ACE HOOD GETS RUTHLESS, HIS SECOND ALBUM ON DJ KHALED's WE THE BEST MUSIC, VIA DEF JAM, RELEASED JUNE 30th

Two singles working at Urban and Rhythmic radio formats and video outlets:
• "CHAMPION" FEATURING JAZMINE SULLIVAN AND RICK ROSS
• "OVERTIME" FEATURING AKON AND T-PAIN

RUTHLESS follows Ace Hood's 2008 debut GUTTA, with singles "Cash Flow" featuring T-Pain and Rick Ross; and "Ride" featuring Trey Songz

"Hood's street stripes remain intact… more moments like this and he can truly ace the test of time."

– XXL magazine, RUTHLESS album review, (August 2009 issue)

(June 23, 2009 – New York, NY) South Florida rapper Ace Hood – named to the "Freshmen of '09" roster at XXL magazine – heats up the Internet and urban media scene this summer with the release of his second album RUTHLESS, arriving in the physical and digital marketplace on June 30th.  Ace Hood was the first artist signed to Terror Squad member DJ Khaled's We The Best Music, an exclusive partnership with Island Def Jam Music Group.

Kicking off the new album are two singles working their way up the Mediabase Urban and Rhythmic charts: "Champion" featuring Jazmine Sullivan and fellow Def Jam artist Rick Ross (which went up on iTunes one week ago) jumps to #55-bullet on the Mediabase Urban/ New & Active side, with a 2 million audience.  News of the video premiere for "Champion" will be announced in the days ahead.  "Overtime" featuring Akon and T-Pain, which has scanned over 32,000 digital sales to date, boasts a Mediabase total audience of 1.5 million.  The "Overtime" video, which was 106 & Park's "New Joint of the Day" when it premiered last month, continues to be aired on BET.

"Champion" and an edited (clean) version of "Overtime" can be heard at Ace Hood's MySpace website http://www.myspace.com/acehood, which has amassed over 37.8 million total plays since its launch last year. Other full-length tracks from RUTHLESS on the site include "Born An OG" featuring Ludacris, "About Me" featuring Ballgreezy, "Broward Anthem" featuring All Stars, "Straight Outta Broward," "Loco Wit the Cake," and "Ruthless Freestyle."

RUTHLESS is the eagerly anticipated follow-up to Gutta, Ace Hood's debut album released November 2008.  Gutta contained the Top 30 Urban breakout single "Cash Flow" featuring T-Pain and Rick Ross; co-written with T-Pain, Rick Ross and DJ Khaled (who is heard on additional vocals) and produced by the Runners. The second single, "Ride" featuring Trey Songz and produced by The Inkredibles, hit #14 on the Billboard Rap Tracks charts, nudged the R&B/Hip-Hop Top 20, and crossed over to the Hot 100.  Ace Hood earned the distinction of being named to the "Freshmen of '09" roster at XXL magazine.

Antoine 'Ace Hood' McColister set his sights on the big time three years ago, when he turned to rapping after his high school football career was short-circuited by an injury.  He signed to local indie label Dollaz & Dealz, and recorded "M.O.E." ("Money Over Everything") which enabled him to perform and network around South Florida.  In November 2007, he showed up outside Miami radio 99-Jamz, where local contenders were gathered to show off their rhymes for a spot on DJ Khaled's birthday bash at South Beach's Club Mansion.  Khaled was so impressed that he came outside to meet the rapper for himself and grab his demo.  He phoned Ace's manager and a freestyle studio audition was set up for the very same night.

"I signed Ace because of his swagger," Khaled told XXL.  "We went in the studio and made a lot of hit records. His energy is just incredible."  For his part, Ace is looking forward to big changes in his life this year.  "This album is definitely gonna be a classic," he confidently says of RUTHLESS.  "People are expecting a lot out of me not only because I'm on Khaled's label, but because everyone knows that the ace is ranked as the highest."

3OH!3 Hits #1 at Top 40 Radio Nationwide With "Don't Trust Me"

Explosive Duo Headlines Vans Warped Tour; Alternative Press Cover Appearance Set for August

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - June 30, 2009) - "Don't Trust Me," the blockbuster hit single from Photo Finish recording duo 3OH!3, has hit #1 on the new Mediabase Top 40 chart. The Boulder, Colorado-based electro duo will celebrate their #1 success as headliners on the just-launched Vans Warped Tour (see itinerary below). This marks the second consecutive Vans Warped Tour for 3OH!3, whose live set was unquestionably among the 2008 festival's biggest crowd-pleasers. 3OH!3 -- a.k.a. Nathaniel Motte and Sean Foreman -- will be among the cover stars featured on Alternative Press's upcoming Vans Warped Tour issue (August 2009).

"Don't Trust Me" has proven an across-the-board sensation, achieving RIAA platinum certification as it topped iTunes' "Top Alternative Songs" chart, while simultaneously rising up as a top 20 favorite on the comprehensive "Top Songs" tally. The infectious single is a multi-chart favorite, having hit the top 3 on Billboard's "Hot Digital Songs," the top 5 on "Pop 100 Airplay," and the Top 10 on Billboard's "Hot 100." The "Don't Trust Me" companion video clip remains a sales triumph, coming in as the week's #2 "Top Alternative Music Video" on iTunes.

In other news, 3OH!3 has contributed an original theme song, titled "Sex On The Beach," for the new season of MTV's blockbuster reality series, "The Real World: Cancun." Earlier this year, the duo traveled south of the border to Cancun, Mexico, where they taped a performance and appearance for an upcoming episode. Other recent TV appearances for 3OH3! included MTV's new "It's On With Alexa Chung" and ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!."

"WANT," 3OH!3's breakthrough debut album, has proven a true digital phenomenon, with over 3 million tracks sold to date. Produced by Matt Squire (Panic At The Disco, Boys Like Girls), the collection sees 3OH!3 unleashing tongue-in-cheek rhymes and beats that incorporate '80s pop, electronica, and crunk hip-hop to deliver a knockout punch. "WANT" has drawn copious critical acclaim, with Rolling Stone naming the duo as "Artists To Watch," hailing their "unhinged" live sets, "tuneful emo-pop hooks," and "spastic electro grooves and aggro rapping."

3OH!3's MySpace page -- located at www.myspace.com/3oh3 -- has proven wildly popular, with total plays now approaching 180 million. The page has long been among the networking site's most popular artist pages, with over 300,000 friends and counting.

I'll put my FREE album up against anybody in the game, and I'll win everytime! I can make more hits, so giving this one up for FREE, aint nothing. When July 1st hits, ya'll go to www.rantzmusic.com and cop the cd and judge for yourself."

Bad Taste Records Announce Change in Strange Journey Volume One Release Date

June 30, 2009, Atlanta, GA - CunninLynguists' new mixtape, Strange Journey Volume One (Bad Taste Records) will hit the street on July 14 instead of June 30 as originally announced. Production issues have caused the two-week delay. 

All songs were produced by Kno of CunninLynguists.  In addition to a slew of new songs, the record features remixes, production work and interesting collaborations.  The single is "Never Come Down (The Brownie Song)", which is now available digitally.  A video of the first single is available on all major video portals.  The mixtape features appearances by Slug of Atmosphere, Killer Mike, Khujo of Goodie Mob, Skinny Deville and Fishscales of Nappy Roots, Mac Lethal, Tonedeff, PackFM, Looptroop Rockers, Hilltop Hoods and others.

There has never been an anomaly in hip-hop quite like the southern trio CunninLynguists. Sampling genres from psych-rock to blues, new romantic to polka, they have been compared to UGK and Atmosphere in the same breath.  They have toured and shared stages with Kanye West and Aesop Rock with equal success, as well as, produced tracks for Lil' Scrappy and KRS-One.  The group has crafted songs with international soul superstar Cee-Lo Green and politically charged indie-favorite Immortal Technique on the same album. CunninLynguists have eschewed categories, boxes and labels for eight years, four albums, and two official mixtapes all while XXL Magazine describes them as having the "Most Hated Name In Rap".

A headline tour for the fall is set to be confirmed with Strange Journey Volume Two to be released in September/October.

THE BRONX IS BACK! BRONX BASED HYDRA MANAGEMENT SIGNS LABEL DISTRIBUTION DEAL WITH SELECT RECORDS

(June 29, 2009) – Roy Brown, CEO of HyDra Management, LLC, and Real To Reel Film Productions, LLC has confirmed that HyDra Management has reached an agreement in principal with Select Records to distribute their newly formed Record Label HyDra Management Records world wide!

Select Records who was a major powerhouse in hip hop in the 80's and 90's and has several Platinum and Gold Records to their credit with artist such as "Kid n' Play, Chubb Rock, M.O.P.., UTFO, The Real Roxanne, The Jerky Boys and Many others.  Fred Munao of Select and Roy Brown are finalizing the details of the deal which has been agreed to by both parties and the final agreement will be signed in the next few weeks.

Select remains a very prominent record label but for the past 10 years has been out of the Hip Hop spotlight.  They have had many hits and are currently flying high with the group "Edible Red".

The new Hip Hop label "HyDra Management/Select Records" is being headed by long time independent artist manager Roy Brown.  Roy formed Onyx Management Services, LLC with several partners in 2001 and went on to sign many artists, released 7 CD's and promoted Showcases at "The China Club", The Copacabana, "Sob's" The Remote Lounge, Babalu's, The Latin Quarter and many other venues throughout the tri state area.  In December of 2008, Roy left Onyx Management and formed a new company, HyDra Management Services with new Partners Simone Burkley and Tracy Denton.  In a short period of time, HyDra has made a name for themselves by being involved in every aspect of the music industry from their Recording Studio in Mount Vernon , NY to their commitment to promoting unsigned artists.  HyDra's first official act after formation was to record the singles "Tipsy" and "Clap Reload" by Tha Council.  Tha Council went on to perform these tracks at the Faces in the Crowd showcase competition at Rebel and won first place.  This caught the attention of SRC a&r Jamal Meeks which led to many other appearances throughout the east coast.

Roy also formed a partnership with best selling author Shannon Holmes called Real to Reel Film Productions, LLC and is currently in production of their first feature film "Hard White" being shot on location in The Bronx and Mount Vernon .

HyDra Management/Select Records, LLC is the next generation of hip hop as its goal is to take hip hop back to its Rap roots by connecting with, signing and releasing records by unsigned artist who would otherwise not be able to be heard.  Their first release under their distribution deal with Select Records will be singles "Get Low & Pop" and "Monday to Friday" from their artist "Tha Council".   HyDra is also working on the soundtrack to the movie Hard White to be released in 2009.  They are currently taking submissions from artists and producers for this movie project.

HyDra is currently in the planning stages for a number of initiatives geared toward promoting unsigned artists including: a Showcase series for which the winner will win a single deal with HyDra Management/Select Record, the launching HyDra Management Radio, an internet radio station dedicated to playing the music of unsigned artists only and HyDra TV an internet based Video show dedicated to playing videos and doing interviews with unsigned artists.

"Tomorrow" Finally Comes for Maino; Brooklyn-Based MC's Debut Album Drops Everywhere

New Single, "Million Bucks (Feat. Swizz Beatz)" Blows Up at Radio Across the Country; "All The Above (Feat. T-Pain)" Continues to Score; "IF TOMORROW COMES..." Arrives Today

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - June 30, 2009) - Hustle Hard Entertainment/Atlantic recording artist Maino has announced the release of his hugely anticipated debut album. "IF TOMORROW COMES..." -- which features the hit single, "All The Above (Feat. T-Pain)" -- is due in stores and online today, June 30th.

Stacked with a broad spectrum of bangers, "IF TOMORROW COMES..." makes an indelible first impression of a serious new hip-hop star. The album -- the first major label debut to be released by a new Brooklyn-based rapper since Fabolous' 2001 classic "GHETTO FABOLOUS" -- sees Maino showing off his unadulterated candor and staccato flow on such tracks as the recent singles, "Hi Hater" and "Hood Love (Feat. Trey Songz)." In total, the four singles released in advance of "IF TOMORROW COMES..." have logged sales in excess of 900,000 -- an astounding tally for a new hip-hop artist.

"All The Above (Feat. T-Pain)" has proven a popular breakthrough for the Brooklyn-based MC, scoring the highest first week single sales for a new rap artist since Flo Rida's "Low." The RIAA gold certified track -- which remains a Top 10 favorite on iTunes' "Top Hip-Hop/Rap Songs" chart -- is quickly approaching platinum status, with sales now in excess of 775,000.

Produced by Just Blaze (T.I., Jamie Foxx, Saigon) and Nard & B (T.I., Plies, Ludacris), "All The Above" is a Top 20 smash at Rhythmic radio outlets coast-to-coast. In addition, the track is a Top 40 favorite at Urban outlets nationwide, having impacted as the #1 most added single at the format earlier this year.

What's more, the "All The Above" companion video is blowing up all over. The clip -- which had its multi-platform premiere across the MTV networks (including MTV, MTV2, mtvU, MTV Hits, MTV Jams, and MTV.com), was also featured as MTV Jams' "Jam of the Week." The video has also been added to BET's "The Deal" after a Top 10 run on the "106 & Park" countdown, and has been placed in "Incoming" rotation at FUSE. What's more, "All The Above" is also a Top 30 success on this week's "Top Mastertones" chart.

Maino's next single, "Million Bucks (Feat. Swizz Beatz)," has already begun to receive major radio support in such markets as New York, Raleigh, Richmond, and Boston, with incredible feedback coming in from influential DJs across the country. A companion video clip was recently shot in Brooklyn and is currently in post-production.

With over 45 million plays already logged at his official MySpace page, www.myspace.com/maino, Maino is quickly becoming a true online sensation. A second season of his hugely popular "Up Close and Personal" webisode series recently premiered, with further exclusive videos and webisodes promised for the coming weeks.

Maino -- who was a recent guest on "The Gayle King Show" on Sirius Radio's Oprah Station 3.11 -- exploded onto the scene last summer with his blockbuster street anthem, "Hi Hater." The track drew extensive airplay at Urban radio outlets nationwide, while the "Hi Hater" remix video (featuring guest appearances from T.I., Plies, Swizz Beatz, Jadakiss, and Fabolous) was a Heavy rotation blockbuster on BET's "Rap City" and "106 & Park." The clip also scored at MTV Jams, where Maino was named among the featured artists in the network's "Fab 5 of Summer 2008" programming.

Nominated as "Rookie of the Year" at 2008's BET Hip-Hop Awards, the MC became an instant hip-hop sensation with his surprise performance of "Hi Hater" at the 2008 Hot 97 Summer Jam in East Rutherford, NJ. Maino was brought to the Giants Stadium stage by none other than multiple Grammy Award-winning superstar Alicia Keys. More recently, he teamed with T-Pain for a live performance of "All The Above" that was among the indelible highlights of this year's star-studded Hot 97 Summer Jam extravaganza.

Already notorious in the hip-hop underground for a number of buzzworthy mixtape joints, Maino has been hailed for his blend of gritty lyricism and riveting street flair. His appearance on "Getaway Driver," a featured track on Rockstar Games' blockbuster Grand Theft Auto IV, brought him to a wide new audience and now he's set to take things even further with "IF TOMORROW COMES..."

Maino has been profiled in a wide range of national publications, including a cover feature in both Urban Ink and Don Diva. Other press appearances include Black Men, Complex, Rap Up, Vibe, Hip Hop Weekly, Murder Dog, King, XXL, Giant, and the New York Times.

Sean John Fragrances and Lab Series Skincare For Men Team with Michael Shank Racing for Brumos Porsche 250

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Michael Shank Racing will sport a new look when the team returns to the high banks of Daytona International Speedway in July for the Brumos Porsche 250 as Sean John Fragrances and Lab Series Skincare For Men have partnered with the team for the intense one-day race weekend at the "World Center of Racing."

The two hour and thirty minute event marks round 7 of the 2009 Rolex Sports Car Series championship, and will precede the NASCAR Sprint Cup Coke Zero 400 on July 4th.

The No. 60 Michael Shank Racing Ford-Riley of Mark Patterson and Oswaldo Negri, which started the 2008 Rolex 24 At Daytona from pole position, will once again carry its familiar distinctive black and orange livery, but for the Daytona race will also be boosted by the presence of signage from Sean John's, Unforgivable and Lab Series Skincare For Men on the wing, nose, sides, and in-car camera locations on the Daytona Prototype.

"We are looking forward to carrying the colors of both Unforgivable and Lab Series Skincare For Men at Daytona next month," said team owner Mike Shank. "We've always had really quick cars at Daytona, and were on the podium there for the Rolex 24 in 2006, so we'd like nothing more than to finish up front with two power brands such as Unforgivable and Lab Series. Having the Rolex Sports Car Series race before the NASCAR event is a great chance for us to show the NASCAR fans what kind of show we put on, and everyone is excited about this opportunity."

"Having the opportunity to partner with the Daytona team is truly exciting for the entire Sean John Fragrances team," says John Demsey, Group President The Estee Lauder Companies. "We are looking forward to seeing Sean 'Diddy' Combs' award-winning fragrance, Unforgivable, proudly displayed on the Michael Shank Racing Car and hopefully taking the top prize on July 4th."

"This is the first time Lab Series Skincare For Men is involved in an auto racing event and we are thrilled to partner with Michael Shank Racing," says Richard Sawyer, Spokesperson and International Education Director, Lab Series Skincare For Men. "Lab Series Skincare For Men develops high-tech, high-performance skincare products which is why it was a natural fit. Their high-performing team is as serious about racing as we are about men's grooming."

"It is always exciting to get new people involved in the Rolex Sports Car series, whether they are friends, family, business associates, or new partners like we have in Sean John and Lab Series," said driver Mark Patterson. "And especially someone like Sean 'Diddy' Combs, who has long shown his admiration for fast cars, competition, and perfection in his work, just like the teams in the Rolex Series. We certainly hope to make a significant impression with a strong run for them at Daytona."

MSR scored a debut Rolex Series win in 2006 and fans selected the victory as the 2007 Rolex "Moment of the Year".

Mid-City Arts Presents: Miami Graffiti - art show, installation, book signing - July 11

Mid-City Arts continues to bring the best of street art to Los Angeles with its latest show honoring the Miami graffiti scene. "Miami Graffiti" opens July 11, 7pm – 9pm and will be on view through July 26th.

Rapidly becoming one of the United States' top graffiti destinations, Miami, Florida is home to a deep well of talented artists driven by a fiercely competitive graffiti scene.  Miami's profile has risen thanks to the city's role as host to the famed "Art Basel" and most recently "Primary Flight." "Primary Flight" is the internationally acclaimed, site-specific, street level mural installation that takes place during Art Basel. Artists that have graced the Primary Flight walls include Crome, MSG, Typoe as well as Blek Le Rat, Retna, El Mac, David Choe, Revok and many others.

Miami Graffiti by photographers Jim and Karla Murray is the first book to capture Miami's graffiti scene. Documenting 20+ years of graffiti art and history along with Miami's most notorious crews and writers, Miami Graffiti is a detailed presentation of South Florida's past, present, and future of graffiti.

Mid City Arts' "Miami Graffiti" show is a celebration of the release of Jim and Karla Murray's book – they will be on hand to sign books -  and a showcase of some of Florida's finest street artists from the MSG, TCP, SH and THC crews. Artists from these crews are coming out to Los Angeles and will be displaying their work in the gallery as well as customizing the gallery's back yard space. Featured artists include Crome, Typoe, Acme, Enve, Murder, Afex, Kemo, Cynic, Gere, Flojoe and others. The show is curated by "Slow".

The MSG crew formed in 1994 by a group of kids bonded through their shared street backgrounds and love of graffiti. Now, 14 years later, MSG has evolved into a creative collective that has expanded into everything from graphic design and fine art, to retail and product design, and everything in between. South Florida's Crome is one that region's graffiti pioneers. Crome's work is an amalgam of sex, color, crime and fun. Drawing inspiration from Miami's clashing of tropical South Beach & seedy underbelly of Downtown Districts, he creates images that reflect the dichotomy between the beauty, style and color of the former, while balancing it with the images of prostitution; drive bys and drugs of the latter. Crome is multifaceted and multi-dimensional.  He's an artist with a dark past and a bright future making his mark on the vanilla, superficial Miami art scene.

Mid-City Arts was established in September 2009 as an extension of the store 33third – LA's premier source of street art supplies, streetwear apparel, and related books and magazines. The gallery was established with the purpose of showcasing local, national, and international artwork by up and coming and established artists with a focus on (but not limited to) graffiti / street / urban art. Recent shows have included work by Chaka, Retna and El Mac. Mid-City Arts offers a show space that interacts with other artists and events that surround the 33third Los Angeles location. The gallery's artwork is available to view by the active customer base of 33third, which includes graffiti artists and fans of graffiti art. Mid-City Arts is open Monday through Sunday 12-8PM. For more information, visit: http://www.midcity-arts.com
Mid-City Arts is located at: 5111 W. Pico Blvd. Los Angeles Ca. 90019
