NICKI MINAJ SIGNS TO YOUNG MONEY/UNIVERSAL RECORDS
August 31, 2009 By
New York, NY–August 31st, 2009 – Months after Drake signs with Universal Records, another intense bidding war ensues, resulting in Nicki Minaj signing with Lil Wayne's Young Money label.  During the last two years Minaj has emerged as one of the premiere rappers, choosing to fore go earlier label offers in order to establish a stronger fan base by way of the internet, promotional touring and a series of mix tapes.
After the release of "Playtime is Over" and "Sucker Free", it was her third mix-tape, the critically acclaimed "Beam Me Up Scotty" with featured appearances from Lil Wayne, Gucci Mane, Busta Rhymes, Bobby Valentino and Drake that caught the attention of music industry heavy weights.
Lil Wayne asserts, "I am honored to have Nicki Minaj as Young Money's First Lady. She is a star"
The battle among labels to sign Minaj heightened this summer and finalized with Minaj signing an exceptional and very unique deal with Young Money/Universal, where she retains and owns all of her 360 rights, including merchandising, sponsorships, endorsements, touring and publishing.
Nicki Minaj asserts,  "To say I'm excited would be an understatement. It's validation. It's proof. It's empowerment. I represent every little girl in a hood near you. To everyone that supported me two years ago when I was on underground mix-tapes and DVDs and to the people that only caught on two weeks ago, I say thank you. Be proud of yourself. You've given girls all around the world the permission to change the face of female rap."
Minaj's debut album is anticipated to be released in early 2010 and will be distributed through Universal Motown. Minaj is currently appearing with Lil Wayne at sold-out arenas throughout the country on the America's Most Wanted tour, which also features Young Jeezy, Soulja Boy and more.  Minaj continues to be managed by Mizay Enertainment's Debra Antney who also represents Gucci Mane.

J. NOIZE – SKILLFUL CHI-TOWN RAPPER/PRODUCER UNVEILS DEBUT OFFERING, “Y.G.B” (YOUNG, GIFTED & BLACK)
August 31, 2009 By
SCHEDULED FOR LATE SEPTEMBER, "Y.G.B." STEPS AWAY FROM TRENDS TO BLAZE POSITIVE TRAIL FOR HIP-HOP AND RAP
ALL-STAR LINEUP, INCLUDING PLATINUM PRODUCERS TIM & BOB, HOUSE LEGEND ROY DAVIS, JR, TERRY DEXTER,  AND MORE LEND THEIR TALENTS TO J. NOIZE'S PROJECT 
J. Noize (www.myspace.com/jheatfam ) understands instinctively that his native Chicago's musical reputation is the envy of the world, yet the 24-year-old hip-hop producer-turned-rapper is undaunted in his quest to add his unique flavor to the 2nd city's glorious history.  With the release of his debut project, Young, Gifted & Black (Y.B.G), on the Soul Electric, J. Noize pours his heart and soul into a series of tracks that weave together to tell a story of the city and its denizens, yet each cut stands on its own as a singular masterpiece. As a rapper, J. Noize brings a reporter's keen eye for observation of the underbelly of street life, in the process, exposing necessary knowledge for uplifting those stuck in an environment where there is seemingly no way out. 
J. Noize's musical style, a gathering of hip-hop history from coast to coast and all points in between, suggests that he will indeed reach his lofty goal on Young, Gifted & Black (Y.B.G.). The collection, executive produced by John Hoerni and Roy Davis Jr., with production assistance from platinum producers Tim & Bob, Waajeed of the R&B group Platinum Pied Pipers, Doc Link, Joey Fernandez (who co-engineered the project with Kid Soul) and J. Noize's own Heat Fam Productions, pulls the listener into his vision. 
Along with Yung Nef, J. Noize is co-founder of Heat Fam Productions.  Their love affair with music caused them to bond together and to dedicate themselves to raising the rap and hip-hop bar as high as possible.  Despite his young age, J. Noize stands on solid ground, experience-wise: "I've been producing for 10 years and started emceeing in high school." While in high school, friends and family encouraged J Noize to enter talent contests in order to further his career. One of the loudest voices of encouragement was his own brother, House music legend Roy Davis, Jr., whose remixes catapulted the careers of the likes of Eric Benet, Faith Evans, Mary J. Blige, Seal, and Terry Dexter, who adds her voice to the driving single, "Bangin' Beats and Dope Rhymes."
After high school, J. Noize—a.k.a. Jason Davis—attended Chicago State University where none other than Kanye West's late mother, Donda West, who was a teacher at the university, gave J. Noize her stamp of approval. "She said to me after I played her a four-song demo, 'I'm gonna be honest with you, son, this is your calling in life.'"  Armed with such a ringing endorsement, J. Noize threw all his efforts into improving his craft. "That was my motivation to continue as an MC and as a producer." Friends later encouraged him to enter the "Dynamic Producers 2005" beat battle, where he ended up winning the city-wide competition in its only incarnation. By winning, J. Noize realized he truly had the goods to take his talents to a larger stage.
When J. Noize related Mrs. West's glowing critique, Roy Davis flew J. Noize to Los Angeles, where he was producing tracks for Dexter. "Roy has been like a brother/father to me. I was the last of four children, and Roy pretty much guided me through everything I was going through while growing up; he was my rock and kept me focused in the right direction." While in Los Angeles, J. Noize absorbed all the nuances of a state-of-the-art studio, and took the experience back to Chicago, where his reputation grew as one of the top underground producers in the city. Over the years, J. Noize worked with Chicago acts King David & Goliath, Brittany Jenean and, currently, Erin Martin. So, with his reputation assured, J. Noize calls in favors from the above-mentioned and more of the cream of the Second City hip-hop scene to flesh out his ideas and turn a dream into reality. Other featured artists on Y.G. B. include vocalists Kaye Fox, Andrew Bees of Black Uhuru, Manny and I.M.A.G.E., and rappers D-Illa ( J. Noize's older brother), Kazi the Blak and Sunn.
J. Noize feels that Chicago's musical reputation –from electric blues to House to R. Kelly to hip-hop/rap stars Twista, Common and, of course Kanye West, will continue to grow. Because of its central position, the Midwest draws influences from the East, West and the South. ""Chicago has a multitude of styles, depending on which area of the city you come from," he notes. "It's a melting pot. We draw off different things from each side. You've got the Lupe Fiascos, the Shawnnas, the Twistas, Do or Die, Crucial Conflict, the Kanyes. So it covers a large breadth of playaz that represent the city on a nation-wide level. I'm looking to add my flavor to that mix."
J. Noize gathers his material from a wide range of influences, influences that cover the "Golden Age" of rap, hip-hop and R&B. "LL Cool J, Nas, Tupac Shakur, Scarface, Outkast, Organized Noize, the Dogg Pound and 8 Ball & MJG were some of the acts I looked up to. Producers that influenced my style were DJ Premier, Dr. Dre, Kanye of course, No I.D. from here in Chicago, Just Blaze, Slice Tee and T-Mix and Jazze Pha. Oh, and DJ Quik; I can't forget him; he's one of my favorite producers. Favorite R&B atrist R. Kelly, Joe, Musiq Soulchild, Maxwel, Usher,  Justin Timberlake, Bilal, Anthony Hamilton, John Legend, D'Angelo—whom my brother Roy worked with—Mary J. Blige, Dwele, Faith Evans… The list goes on."
The 1st single from Y.B.G is "Find Him," a tale of finding one's positive direction in life. R&B diva Terry Dexter joins  J. Noize, and later adds her voice, along with Sunn on "Bangin' Beats & Dope Rhymes," a hypnotic track that amply supports J. Noize as he spits hot rhymes. "Warning Shots" is an ominous tale of the senseless and seeming endless gang violence that saturates everyday life in the inner city which features Andrew Bees of Black Uhuru. The message, over a ragamuffin reggae rhythm coupled with a crunching beat, paints a grim picture that warns of malfeasance from both those sworn to uphold the law and the street denizens looking to survive some way, somehow. Young, Gifted & Black also features an appearance by Kazi The Blak along with Virgil Strafford on Knocking on Heavens Door Pt.3.
J. Noize stresses that the positive slant of his music is no better or worse than that of rappers who, seemingly, glory in the rough and tumble gang life: "I don't take away anything from any other artist and how they make their music. That's just the way I was raised by my parents. I was always instilled with morals and values: Those are the same morals and values that I want to present to the world." His mother, Patricia Davis, who passed away in 2002, was an in-demand background vocalist in the Chicago area, while his father, Roy Davis, Sr., is a drafting engineer. "There was always music in the house, and by the time I came along, she was the piano player for our church. We come from a family that has a long musical bloodline in the church." 
Once his project is on cruise, J. Noize will concentrate on partner Yung Nef's solo project called PRODUCA MC. "He's soon to be 20, but Yung Nef is already one of the best producers in Chicago," J. Noize notes. Then, J. Noize plans to concentrate on D-Illa's PRODUCTS & GOODS  project, which is scheduled for release in 2010 next year. "We're working very diligently on those two projects," he emphasizes, "but we're going to continue to solidify the Chicago area talent. I feel we always leave our city short-handed because the entertainment industry is pretty much based in New York or Los Angeles or Atlan
ta or Miami. I want to emphasize with my listeners three points on this project: First and foremost, God first. Second, it has to have a message. And third, the beat's gotta be slammin'!"

AMANDA’S RAY, TEEN NOVEL MAKES WAVES WITH SNEAK PEEK
August 31, 2009 By
This wasn't a book but a rap ballad.  Each syllable had a beat that made you want to dance through every page. Amanda's voice was infectious and true.  And just like a good song, when the book is over you want to hear it again and tell a friend about it.
-Lisa Rose, Bookblips.com
All youth today should be exposed to such a inspiring story because it provides empowerment and courage to push forward. Just because someone expects the worse from you due to your circumstances doesn't give you permission to give up. No matter what, chase your dreams and make them a reality. Amanda did.
-Lakeisha, 16 year old, Moultrie, GA
BROOKLYN, NY, September 1, 2009 — Sneak peek of Amanda's Ray the inspirational hip hop novel that's sweeping the nation by Author-Educator, Tachelle Shamash' Wilkes.
Sneak Peek (Chapter 1)
Where I live ain't always sunshine, it ain't always grey skies either. Sometimes shots ring off rooftops while I'm sleeping at night. Other times children fly free like birds up and down Brooklyn concrete streets with smiles on their faces.
I knew I could write when Ms. Johnson stampeded to the back of the classroom with her mega ten size feet. "Amanda Raye, you have a gift," she uttered as she slipped an A paper in my palms. My lips curved, cracked a half of smile and shoved the poem to the bottom of my book bag — hearing it crumble as if it was being crushed by buildings. Yeah I can write, but what's the use?  Writers don't make loot and that's what I needed to get us out the ghetto.
Then I found Kendra Star.  She battled Lady Luck on Fight Klub.  The way she spit was killa.  Kendra Star's vicious on da mic.   I loved the way Kendra spit them bars — "beamers – move so fast, can't imitate my swag…"  Fell in love with Kendra on the spot.  She was the hottest female rapper out and I wanted to be just like her, so I started freestylin' — got nice from practicing everyday.  Googled everything Kendra Star and studied her rhymes.  Dissected them line by line 'cause I wanted to know what made Kendra tick.
There was something about Kendra Star — the way she moved, the clothes, her raspy voice. I hung onto every sound that flowed from her tongue. Every time Kendra was on 106 and Park, my eyes melted the TV screen.  As soon as she came out with a new song I downloaded it to my IPod and memorized it instantaneously. 
It wasn't just the clothes she flossed, but there was struggle in her rhymes – deep-edged pain.  It was mine. She was my mirror, and I was reflectin'.  Kendra had a crack addicted mother – Mine died at eight. We lived in parallel worlds.  I ain't obsessed or nothing — ain't no lesbian. I just think Kendra Star is fly and that's why I had to see her in person.
Purchase Amanda's Ray

"KOTTONMOUTH KINGS are digging into our treasure chest and re-releasing a string of newly recovered masters from the Capitol Records days. Some of these early releases are either impossible to find or if they are in stores they can be very expensive, so we took them and packaged them together with some killer new art for fans. With the economy in the toilet we wanted to give fans a chance to find these at an affordable price and give them a little something extra for always supporting us even when times are tough. The releases will be doubled up under the name 'Double Doses' starting with 'Double Dose Vol. 1', which features the original 'Hidden Stash' CD and the NEVER RELEASED version of the "OG Dopeumentary" DVD, which drops  on September 15th! On the same day we're also releasing 'Double Dose Vol. 2' which features the DVD 'Endless Highway' with a special CD of KMK's 15 favorite road songs titled 'Rollin' Down the Highway'. 'Double Dose Vol. 3' pairs our now classic 'Hidden Stash 2' album with a re-released version of our 'Dopeumentary' home video and that hits stores on September 29! These reissues will be collector's items for the hardcore fans – a great way to re-visit the early days of the Kottonmouth Kings! "
Daddy X continues, "This special promotion sets the stage for the release of 'Hidden Stash 420' which is dropping on October 13th! For the fourth installment of the 'Hidden Stash' we pulled out all the stops and created a double CD with 40 songs and a full length DVD 'The Lost Adventures of the Kottonmouth Kings'. There are 25 unreleased tracks of B-sides, collaborations and remixes along with a new KINGSPADE track called "Gone Git It", plus new Johnny Richter and D-Loc solo joints. Tech N9NE is featured on four tracks, HED PE, Brother J of X-Clan, Big B, Dirtball, Potluck and Judge D round out the special guests. This is a brand new CD and the fourth epic installment of the KOTTONMOUTH KINGS' 'Hidden Stash' series. 'Hidden Stash 420' promises to be an epic piece of the KMK catalog and this onslaught of material is only the beginning. LONG LIVE THE KINGS!"
