PITBULL FEATURING HIS NEW ARTIST SIGNED TO MR. 305. JAMIE DRASTIK “JUICEBOX” PRODUCED BY DJ CLASS

Listen Here

Jamie Drastik Bio
Here’s my Bio, better yet here’s my auto bio. My name is Jamie Drastik. I’m from one of the most unique places, Upstate New York. That means that I have been exposed to the aftermath of second hand smoke from Woodstock, the dirty hype of New York City, hot stressed out soccer mom’s, and the occasional cipher outside, in front of Kennedy’s Fried Chicken. Influenced by all these ways of life, I eventually started to capture the emotions of living here, and put them to some production that’s been imported straight from Finland.

When I’m not bringing my upstate friends, who don’t understand that you cant bring your own beer in a New York City club, down to party with me, I’m recording with my producers from Finland, The Crew. Though there is a language barrier and sometimes they start talking in Finish and I get a little nervous, we make some pretty dope shit! They bring some real cutting edge stuff to the table by being on the forefront of a lot of the new sounds, and I bring a certain cleverness of writing. Which is why I’m writing my own bio. Where’s the spell check on this thing?

I have reached independent success at radio with my last single “Now or Later”. By being hands on with the push (calling radio stations myself and requesting my own song) I was able to learn a lot.
Especially on the touring end. There’s no better way to make a fan then to hit the stage and show them what you got. I love live venues but still down to hop on a speaker and perform at a club. Ive been on a few small tours with some cool people and learned something new from all of them. I’m not going to drop a whole bunch of names of people who think I’m cool so you can think I’m cool too but trust me, I’m cool! Don’t believe me? Ok, Jadakiss said my mix-tape was fire. Pitbull said I’m going to be the Ben Affleck of music. Diddy said I got a lot of talent, and my Mom says I’m better then everyone on the Grammys every year. Thanks Mom!

My independent success caught the attention of Pitbull and his management. Which led me to inking a deal with Pitbull’s imprint label, Mr. 305 Inc. Currently I’m setting up to release my mix-tape “The Magnet”, and rocking the stage on the weekends. During the week I do grocery shopping for the fam, and freestyle in the cereal isle using all the different brands of cereal to rhyme with. Thanks to the agents, the DJ’s, and promoters that book me to boogie and all the supporters who told their friends about me. Word of mouf helps out a lot. Download the mix-tape and I’ll see you guys and gals at the next show. Deuces!

DON DIABLO RELEASES NEW MIX-COMPILATION: SELLOUT SESSIONS 03 ‘This mix perfectly showcases my own sound in many different ways…’

At the end of 2005, Don Diablo set up his own record label and event brand Sellout Sessions and successfully released his first mix-compilation through this label. Don Diablo started off as a DIY artist in 2005 to become one of Holland’s biggest exports, landing a much publicized worldwide 360 deal with Sony Music on his own terms in 2008. Right before he signed his new record deal, he released the second edition of the Sellout Sessions series.

Now, fast forward to November 2009 and you have got the forthcoming release of Sellout Sessions 03, which is the third chapter in the series. The new mix-compilation features a lot of exclusive remixes and tracks by Don Diablo, but also includes tracks and mixes by The Prodigy, Bloc Party, Simian Mobile Disco, Tiga, Cassius, Fake Blood and Stereo MC’s, to name but a few!

Don Diablo about his new disc: “This new mix-album is basically an overview of what I’ve been up to this year as a producer, remixer and DJ. Sellout Sessions 03 features some of my favourite remixes I did this year for artists like Cassius, Stereo MC’s, Linus Loves, Cagedbaby, One eskimO, Dragonette and others. The mix also features three of my most successful dancefloor productions of this year: ‘Hooligans’, ’Too cool for school’, ‘Disco Disco Disco’ and a brand-new track called ‘Teen Scream Machine’ which will be released in 2010. The rest of the tracklist was filled in by simply selecting some of the tunes that have been doing well for me in my DJ sets, including tracks by Tiga, Simian Mobile Disco, Bloc Party, Fake Blood and The Prodigy. All in all I think this mix perfectly showcases my own sound in many different ways, which is not always easy to capture on one disc or in general for that matter!”

2009 has been quite the rollercoaster ride for Don Diablo, having already killed the crowd with the demonic overground club smash ‘Hooligans’ (Sunday Times Culture), which was a collaboration with UK rapper Example, as well as playing festivals like Glastonbury & Creamfields this summer and remixing acts like Mika, Cassius and FrankMusik. Add to that, he has been ‘Most Blogged Artist’ in the world several times this year, according to music blog aggregator The Hype Machine, and the blogosphere continues to love Don Diablo with over 4 million downloads in the last 9 months. Earlier this year, he already scored a song placement in hit TV-series CSI:NY and most recently signed a global administration deal with leading global independent music publisher Chrysalis Music. He just released a top 10 Aria Chart compilation, Neon Essentials Vol. 2, through Warner Music and earlier this year did the prestigious cover CD for DJmag, which also ranked him 137 in their renowned DJ Top 100 list; quite the achievement given his soundtrack as a DJ.

He has produced, composed, written and performed all the songs on his forthcoming debut album, Life is a Festival (Sony Music), which he recorded all by himself in his Amsterdam-based studio. With forthcoming tours through Australia, Asia, North & South America and a plethora of UK gigs, 2010 is looking to become an even bigger year for Don Diablo, who was recently called ‘man-of-the-moment’ by NME, ‘a future star’ by dance music connoisseur Pete Tong (BBC Radio 1) and even Kanye West is down with the Don, promoting Don Diablo’s latest video on his infamous blog. The first big single from his album, ‘Where I belong (Life is a festival)’ will be released early 2010 to launch his album. There will be no escaping Don Diablo in 2010!

LADY SHELLY’S LATEST SINGLE WELCOMES CONTROVERSY

With the razor-sharp delivery of her lyrically aggressive yet socially conscious brand of music, Lady Shelly continues to blaze a trail releasing her latest single entitled Welcome (C-Sol Refix). The track which is being dubbed Canada’s next Dancehall anthem addresses the struggles Jamaicans face assimilating to life in North America.

Since the online release of her full length album Karamanti Mix Volume One – Resurrection, Lady Shelly has successfully created a buzz for herself, generating an interest amongst Dancehall aficionados worldwide. Establishing her signature sound by blending powerful and controversial messages over hard-hitting, bass heavy beats, she has experienced an overwhelming response to her album.

‘To be honest, I didn’t expect the album to get the downloads it did’ explains Lady Shelly. ‘Having people reach out as a result of the music on the album, it feels good.’

Answering the call of producers and DJs in her native Jamaica, Lady Shelly has kept herself busy with requests for various dubplate projects. She has also been performing extensively since the release of the album and plans to continue doing so into the new year.

‘I’ve done a couple shows here in Toronto, Montreal and so on. I’m just going to keep doing shows across Canada. I’ve got some shows lined up in New York, Miami and Colorado for the new year. I’m going to take my show overseas later on, but for now I’m just booking within North America.’

As for her plans for the near future Lady Shelly plans to continue performing, recording new material and putting together a new album. Karamanti Mix Volume One – Resurrection is available for download at LadyShelly.com.

Blestenation Signs With Suburban Noize Records & Release Mixtape Featuring Jadakiss, Puscifer, and Ladytron

New York hip-hop trio Blestenation creates havoc in the major label world and gets kicked off of Warped Tour, overdose on drugs, get into fist fights inside Sony Music offices, and crash the Teen Choice Awards and get into an altercation with American Idol’s Ryan Seacrest!!!

Blestenation Has Toured With Bone Thugs – N – Harmony, Scarface, Killah Priest, and The Warped Tour, While Working With Everyone From Travis Barker,
Method Man, Ladytron, and Tool’s Maynard James Keenan

Suburban Noize Records have inked a deal with New York hip-hop trio Blestenation. The group has been building a buzz throughout the hip-hop scene for the past few years touring alongside the likes of Bone Thugs – N – Harmony, Scarface, Killah Priest, and the Warped Tour, while working with everyone from Method Man and Ladytron, to rock icons like Tool’s Maynard James Keenan and Travis Barker.

“This is the only label that could handle a band like us and we are happy to be part of the family,” says Blestenation’s FAFU.

Blestenation was once described by Interscope’s Jimmy Iovine as, “The most promising group I have signed since Nine Inch Nails”, but was deemed too explicit for the major label world after the group’s drug addiction and day-to-day insanity derailed their career. The group was previously signed to Geffen Records before their reckless behavior got them kicked off of Warped Tour, into fist fights inside the Sony Music offices, and got them kicked out of the Teen Choice Awards after getting into an altercation with American Idol’s Ryan Seacrest.

Blestenation will release a digital EP, “Left For Dead”, on December 8th, 2009 through iTunes and www.SubNoizeStore.com, before dropping their debut album, “Mbugout City”, in stores January 26th, 2010. Blestenation is currently offering a free download of their MBC Digital mixtape featuring Jadakiss, Ladytron, Puscifer, and Travis Barker online at www.sendspace.com/file/qm0xfu

Now available for free download is the first single from Brooklyn, N.Y. emcee Marvelous Mag titled “La La Land” produced by Sav Beats. The single is taken from his debut album “Selfless Acts” to be released in December on Domination Recordings. Also available for free download is a bonus track that will not be included on the album titled “Stay In My Lane”.

February 17th, 2009, in an effort to stimulate the U.S. economy, President Barack Obama signed into law The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, better known as the stimulus package. On February 16th of 2010, another bad brother Philadelphia Freeway, seizes the moment and sets out to stimulate the Hip Hop industry by signing into law the Hip Hop Recovery and Reinvestment Act with the release of his third official studio album The Stimulus Package.

Produced entirely by veteran G-Unit producer Jake One, The Stimulus Package showcases some of Freeway’s most dynamic and engaging work to date. The collaboration of these two heavyweights along with the strength of independent powerhouse Rhymesayers Entertainment makes The Stimulus Package already one of the year’s most anticipated releases.

Since his breakout Roc-A-Fella debut Philadelphia Freeway in 2003, which achieved gold status selling over 500,000 units, Freeway has consistently been regarded as “your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper”. Releasing his sophomore follow up Free at Last in 2007, which featured the Jake One produced classic “It’s Over”, Freeway has kept his skills sharp recording numerous mixtapes, unofficial albums and online leaks all while playing hundreds of shows across the country.

With The Stimulus Package in full effect, Freeway and Jake One’s first act of stimulus in their plan will be the FREE download of the DJ Don Cannon assisted mixtape, The Beat Made Me Do It, available today.

WILL SMIFF DOGG talks FREEMASONRY, 50 Cent, and his new music video

It’s Mid afternoon at the Sheraton’s 5 star hotel in downtown New Orleans. Hurricane Ida has just been downsized to a tropical storm, and Will Smiff Dogg sits comfortably on the bed overlooking downtown New Orleans. This 20th floor view is Immaculate and right out the pages of any popular hip-hop magazine. So how is this unsigned artist able to be in Seattle, Sacramento, Philadelphia, New Jersey, New York, and New Orleans all in the same year??

“I pray a lot, and I thank I AM THAT I AM (God) for his infinite blessings” exclaims Will Smiff Dogg.” And blessed he is. With two albums finished this year and generating revenue on iTunes, a brand new music video for his single “Perfume”, 3 successful online mixtapes, and a major marketing/promotional campaign going on in Germany as we speak, Will Smiff Dogg is an unstoppable force in 2009.

We asked Will Smiff Dogg what keeps him motivated even though most people now say Hip-Hop is either dead, run by Freemason secret societies, or not generating as much revenue as it once did? His response was very uncanny. Will explained,” I have Freemasons in my family, so I figure if hip-hop is run by freemasons I should already have a major record deal right? Besides that there’s still room for us unsigned artists in Hip-hop. With sites like sellaband.com, fans can now fund their favorite artists.” (fund Will Smiff Dogg now at: http://www.sellaband.com/projects/willsmiffdogg/)

We asked Will Smiff Dogg which rappers he admired in the game at this time, and he had this to say,” It’s funny because 50 cent has been one of my favorites since he came out, but his music array is so vast that I sometimes don’t enjoy his work just because of the hype. My older sister met 50 cent at her job last week, and he signed an autograph for me (under my real name of EDDIE), so I’m a 50 cent fan all day now. I’ve dropped material off at the G-UNIT office headquarters a few times when I went by the rap name Lix, but I think my new material is far superior to my old stuff.” GUNIT A&R’s and Label Execs feel free to contact Will Smiff Dogg Immediately.

We got to get a sneak preview of Will Smiff Dogg’s new PERFUME music video, and It is very different than we expected. The video seems to capture a sensual side of Hip-Hop instead of going the normal sex sells route. With lots of hot backdrops like the Brooklyn Bridge, Yachts, Cars driving by, Lexus Convertibles, and Sunset rooftop views of NYC, Will Smiff Dogg seems to separate himself (in a Kanye West sort of way) from your average rap artists. A& R, Label Execs (on both coasts), and DJs…Don’t you think it’s about time to start congratulating this hardworking worldwide artists? I present to you the PERFUME music video!!!!!
