Heat Index with Shy Guy Shawn - Vol 10


Busta Rhymes Put On Probation For Assault Charge

Thanks to some anger-management issues, Busta Rhymes will be working the Boy George beat.

But it could have been worse for the hit-making rapmeister, who finally agreed Wednesday to work out a deal with prosecutors in separate assault cases, thus avoiding some quality time in Rikers Island.

Instead, Rhymes, referred to in court by his birth certificate name, Trevor Smith, copped to two misdemeanor assault charges.

While the D.A. urged a sentence of one-year in jail for Rhymes' beatdown of his former driver and a fan, a Manhattan Criminal Court justice opted to ding the hip-hopster with just 10 days of community service and stuck him on three years' probation.

Rhymes also faced a drunk-driving rap, and wound up surrendering his license and enrolling in court-sanctioned DWI classes.

All told, The Big Bang purveyor had been facing charges from a quartet of incidents stretching back over the past year and a half. He was accused of roughing up his former chauffeur/gofer in a beef over money. He was accused of smacking down a fan who spat on the rapper's SUV. And he racked up a pair of driving infractions for driving with a suspended license and drunken driving.

Before now, Rhymes had steadfastly refused to hammer out a deal with the D.A. The rapper's lawyer told E! Online Rhymes was being unfairly targeted for failing to cooperate with detectives investigating the still unsolved 2006 shooting death of a bodyguard.

Wednesday's plea doesn't quite clear Rhymes' docket though. He still faces a civil lawsuit filed last August by the salivating fan.

KOCH RECORDS TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM BY OOMP CAMP ALLSTAR BABY D



KOCH RECORDS TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM BY

OOMP CAMP ALLSTAR BABY D

A-TOWN SECRET WEAPON IN STORES

EVERYWHERE APRIL 1ST

New York, NY – KOCH Records and Big Oomp are excited to announce the release of a brand new album by Oomp camp all-star Baby D. His KOCH Records debut, A-Town Secret Weapon, drops on April 1st, 2008.

The first single “I’m Bout Money” produced by DJ Montay (Flo Rida feat. T-Pain “Get Low,” UNK “Walk It Out,” “2 Step”) will be going for urban radio adds in early February 2008. The video for “I’m Bout Money” was directed by RAGE (Jim Jones, Soulja Boy, UNK) and will be serviced to all major networks and platforms in early February as well.

Baby D has cultivated a loyal following of fans in his native Decatur and throughout Atlanta who have been chanting and bouncing with him for years. He made his move into rap music when he met hip-hop hero and mixtape kingpin Big Oomp in 1994. Oomp was preparing to launch his record label, Big Oomp Records, and quickly signed the young rapper.

Baby D released his first album, Off Da Chain, at the young age of 16. His acclaimed follow-up Lil' Chopper Toy was released two years later.

KOCH Records and Big Oomp Records have just had a huge success with Oomp Camp recording artist UNK. UNK has sold a combined 4 million + mobile/digital units of his singles “Walk It Out” and “2 Step.” “Walk It Out” was also a #1 hit at Urban Radio. UNK’s debut album Beat’n Down Yo Block has sold over 200,000 units. A-Town Secret Weapon will be the first release under KOCH Urban South which is headed up by Big Oomp.

One Be Lo - "Gray"

The only track on The R.E.B.I.R.T.H. to feature live instrumentation, "Gray" is a highly conceptual, somberly optimistic anthem for both the struggling youth and the lingering old school heads. From the jazz saxophone to the myriad literary devices to the early '90s hip-hop references, One Be Lo's single speaks- though not exclusively- to a generation often neglected in rap, the adults.

The second verse exemplifies Lo's ability to speak to both the young and the old, as he articulates the struggle of a bi-racial girl: "Family on the light side, don't accept the dark side/ Sorta like Apartheid, pass each other by like The Pharcyde/ 'FatLip' like her daddy, flat butt like her mammy/." While some of the references in "Gray" might go over the head of a younger listener, the message nonetheless resounds with passion and clarity. Says One Be Lo, "We all experience gray in our lives, but it's for a reason, and it's never permanent." Expect to have "Gray" on repeat, and don't be surprised if this jam becomes an uplifting concert closer.

The Background:

One Be Lo first hit the hip-hop scene in the late '90s as OneManArmy, one half of the short-lived yet critically acclaimed duo Binary Star. Binary Star's second LP, Masters of the Universe, is regarded as an underground classic by many-- the album sold over 30,000 units independently and can be found today on eBay for upwards of $350. Skipping ahead to 2005, One Be Lo resurfaced on Fat Beats Records as a bona fide solo artist with S.O.N.O.G.R.A.M. The album moved over 22,000 copies, becoming one of the year's most successful independent hip-hop releases. In 2007, One Be Lo released his sophomore LP as a solo artist, titled R.E.B.I.R.T.H., with a host of big-name producers ranging from Jake One to Vitamin D. One Be Lo has shared the stage with hip-hop giants KRS-One, Rakim, and the Wu-Tang Clan , and has toured the nation with Brother Ali, Soul Position, and Zion I. One Be Lo is also a dedicated activist, often connecting with the youth through speaking engagements and workshops. He is also a member of the World Champion B-boy crew, Massive Monkees.

The 2008 50 Mics Tournament

DAME GREASE to serve as "Special Consultant of Talent" for the 2008 50 Mics Tournament Challenge Artist SearchDame Grease Will Serve as "Special Consultant Of Talent" Mr. Grease's Primary Duties will be to assist the 50Mics staff in choosing competitors as well as Executive Producing the 50MICS Tournament Album.

The 50 Mics Tournament Challenge Artist Search, Take a second and imagine gathering 50 unsigned talents, from 5 different musical categories (Hip Hop, Rock, Reggae, Latin, and R&B), from all around the country, and have them competing tournament style, battling for a chance to be featured on a major label debut. This is the premise behind The 50 Mics Challenge.

The Brainchild of 50 Mics Inc., Jayson "J-Didda" Butler and Kareem Davis The 50 Mic Challenge supplies much needed exposure to today's emerging underground artists. By pitting 250 talented artists and showcasing their abilities in front of the elite executives that the music industry has to offer. 10 will be chosen to create a "mash-up" album of epic proportions. Do not confuse this for a mere showcase, for this is much, much bigger. Utilizing our experience and industry connections we have created a 1 of a kind experience which includes: major touring, merchandising, and full on press. To make this even more exciting, the competition will be filmed and broad casted on Sandbox Television and Hip Hop Uncensored Channels Monthly.

Dame Grease Will Serve as "Special Consultant Of Talent" Mr. Grease's Primary Duties will be to assist the 50Mics staff in choosing competitors as well as Executive Producing the 50MICS Tournament Album. 50MICS chose Dame Grease based on his vast experience shaping and molding not only viable and successful recording artists, but also Hip Hop Icons such as DMX, Swizz Beats and Bad Boy Records to name a few.

The Concept 0f 50 Mics was born as a direct response to the rampant exploitation of the underground artist. Exposure for artist has become big business. "We felt that many talented artist fall between the cracks simply because they are unable to afford many of the various avenues of exposure which exist in today. 50 Mics was founded to be an inexpensive resource for unsigned talent . In many cases real creative people tend to have limited resources and therefore are unable to compete in an over saturated music business. We felt it was time to level the playing field".

The 50MICS Tournament Challenges main goal is to find 12 unsigned artist

TORAE TO RELEASE DEBUT LP, DAILY CONVERSATION, ON 1-29-08

TORAE TO RELEASE DEBUT LP, DAILY CONVERSATION, ON 1-29-08

DEBUT FULL-LENGTH EFFORT FEATURES PRODUCTION FROM DJ PREMIER, 9TH WONDER, BLACK MILK, MARCO POLO AND KHRYSIS

TORAE was up four hours before you this morning. By the second time you hit snooze on any given day he could be in the booth recording your new favorite song, penning his next feature on a hot compilation or on his way to your town to give you the show you’ve been waiting for tonight. Anything is possible, which explains how he’s performed before 20,000 people at a sold-out Nassau Coliseum and hit the stage with the likes of The Clipse, Cam'ron, Juelz Santana, Jim Jones and countless others all before signing a major recording contract.

This self proclaimed “new breed of the raw” gained his first exposure after submitting a demo tape to Bad Boy Records in the late 90's. Impressed with the demo, one of the label's executives featured TORAE on a compilation album released through an independent company. Soon after TORAE was invited to join The Ruff Ryders and Cash Money Millionaires on their nationwide tour. The buzz circulated throughout the music industry’s elite, and while on the set of Cam’ron’s music video for “My Hood” TORAE had the opportunity to show Cam and his friends just how vivid he could spit. He became a part of the Diplomat family, and although not signed to their label, remained close to Cam'ron, and the Dipset.

TORAE went on to record and release a 12" single "Gimme The Mic" b/w "Spice Thang" on his own Internal Affairs Entertainment imprint and in May 2006 TORAE released the single "Promises" b/w "T.I.M.E." on AV8 Records as a member of the underground hip-hop super group The Co. {Coalescence}. The single remains in heavy rotation on underground radio shows, Music Choice and satellite radio stations. Likewise, the track was featured on “The Justo Tribute” mixtape hosted by Pete Rock, and only three months after its release, nominated for two Underground Music Awards (Best Rap Group & Song of the Year).

After previously working with platinum & gold selling producers; such as DJ Clark Kent, Jimi Kendricks, Illmind and DJ Babu, on 1-29-08 TORAE will release his debut LP, Daily Conversation, which features production from DJ Premier, 9th Wonder, Black Milk, Khrysis, Marco Polo and guest appearances from Tash (Tha Alkaholiks), Stimuli, Teflon and fellow rising stars Chaundon and Skyzoo. TORAE’s DJ Premier produced lead-single, “Get It Done,” f/Skyzoo is already ringing in the new year on xxlmag.com’s banger section.

In addition to his solo and group endeavors you’ll be hearing TORAE’s voice on Rawkus Records’ Soundbombing 4, the eMC Project (Masta Ace, Wordsworth, Punchline & Strick), and DJ Babu’s new Duck Season this year; just to name a few.

Dem Boyz are back in town

Back to build their brand of hard but mass-accessible rap, platinum-selling Virgin Records hip-hop group DEM FRANCHIZE BOYZ have released a new single, "Talkin' Out Da Side of Ya Neck!" The track was produced by Bangladesh, who produced Kelis' recent international smash "Bossy." Currently impacting urban radio, DFB are enjoying the expected support in their solid Southern home base, with breakout radio leaders appearing in the Midwest. The video clip is an immediate add in rotation at BET's Rap City program.

Dem Franchize Boyz have completed their second album, DA POINT OF NO RETURN, for planned release March 25, 2008. Collaborators in the studio have included T-Pain and Pleasure, of the vocal group Pretty Ricky. Track producers include superstar beatsmiths Mannie Fresh and Jazze Pha, Southern upstart Marvelous J, longtime collaborators Maestro and Young Juve, and DFB
member Parlae.

DEM FRANCHIZE BOYZ, hailing from Atlanta's Westside, are Bernard "Jizzal Man" Leverette, Maurice "Parlae" Gleaton, Gerald "Buddie" Tiller and Jamal "Pimpin'" Willingham. They debuted on the R&B/Hip-Hop chart in 2004 with the top 25 single "White Tees," but broke through on a mass level on their Virgin Records debut with the single release of "I Think They Like Me," a three-week No. 1 in the R&B/Hip-Hop radio format in late 2005 that ushered the sparse but irresistibly hookish "snap music" into clubs and radio. DFB became the first rap group in the history of that chart to reach No.1 with consecutive singles, when "Lean Wit It, Rock Wit It" returned the group to the top of the R&B Hip-Hop chart, while posting a No 7 Hot 100 peak. DFB drew a nomination for Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Band, Duo or Group in the 2006 America
n Music Awards.

Driven by two massive hits, the group's debut Virgin Records album, ON TOP OF OUR GAME, debuted at No. 5 in the Billboard Top 200 album chart, and is certified RIAA gold. Additionally, RIAA certified "I Think They Like Me" as a gold-selling master tone, and "Lean Wit It" as a platinum master tone. DFB were among the very first hip-hop artists to sell massive numbers of mobile ring tones, with 1 million sold prior to the release of their first album - and then an additional million in the foll
owing six weeks.

Emcee and Graphic Artist Bisc1 To Release When Electric Nights Fall

(Brooklyn, NY January 16th, 2008) Queens-based emcee and graphic artist Bisc1 will be releasing his first full length album, When Electric Nights Fall, this spring on March 11, 2008 via the Brooklyn-based indie hip-hop label, Embedded Music.

Bisc1 recorded the majority of WENF in the evening hours, not only because of the demands of his day job as a graphic artist but also because this is when his creativity thrives. Nighttime is a time when most of us relax and try to make sense of our day, with all our successes, failures, conflicts, celebrations, doubts, and stresses. With When Electric Nights Fal,l, Bisc1captures these emotions we all share with a blatant sense of urgency. Just as a train takes passengers on a ride from borough to borough with varying landscapes, WENF brings listeners on a nighttime ride through the realms of our psyche. The album ventures from our feelings of highs and lows in "Parallels," being thankful for getting though another day in "Pandemonium," the beauty of having loved ones in "Fire and Ice" and "Unconditional," the perverse passion of pursuing our vices in "Strange Love," and dreams, illusions, and escape from daily routine, in "Great Escape." WENF is a glimpse into Bisc1's personal journey but he deftly touches on emotions we've all experienced in our lives at one point of another.

A native of Massachusetts by way of Connecticut, Bisc1 moved to NYC 10 years ago and quickly made a name for himself DJ'ing at clubs, distributing mixtapes, and in graffiti circles. Soon, Bisc1 picked up the mic and won several battle raps including the Whose Line Is It monthly at the Knitting Factory in NYC 4 consecutive months in a row. His debut release, The Basics EP (2006), gained the favorable attention of music critics and his subsequent release, The Stay Up Project mixtape (2007) was downloaded over 5000 times. Bisc's penchant for capturing our chaotic reality with his narratives, images, and collaborations has earned him a reputation as one of the most honest and creative artists of today. Going beyond music, Bisc1 is also an accomplished graphic artist. He's done cover art, designed promotional materials and spearheaded art direction for artists such as Aesop Rock, The Perceptionists, C-Rayz-Walz, Murs, El-P, and others. His art has been featured in several magazines and art house coffee table books and in galleries, such as Danny Simmon's Rush Arts Gallery. When Electric Night Falls, for which Bisc did all the art direction, will be available March 11th on Embedded Music.

Ali Vegas Presents "The America's Prince" Mixtape


ALI VEGAS PRESENTS THE "AMERICA'S PRINCE"
MIXTAPE IN ANTICIPATION OF THE ALBUM RELEASE,
"GENERATION GAP 2: THE PREQUEL" IN MAY '08

THE ALBUM WILL FEATURE PRODUCTION BY DJ PREMIERE, SCOTT STORCH, MIDI MAFIA, AND MORE.
GUESTS ARTISTS INCLUDE AKON, STYLES P, SAMMIE AND MORE.

Hip Hop artist Ali Vegas is set to release the album, "Generation Gap 2: The Prequel" in May 2008. In anticipation of the album release, Ali Vegas keeps us updated with the "America's Prince" mixtape. As one of the most recognizable names in hip-hop, Ali began his career in the late 90's and at only 25 years old this artist is sure to break ground with his lyrical dexterity. The self proclaimed "Prince of New York" hails from Jamaica, Queens and has often been compared to hip hop greats such as Nas and Jay-Z. In 2006, Ali Vegas signed to Lamar Odom's label, Rich Soil Entertainment where he has worked with producers ranging from J Nice to Midi Mafia.


As a seasoned vet, Vegas began rapping at age 6 and since has had a string of hits including Gangsta Boogie, The Apology, and the Specialists which was featured on the 'In too Deep' soundtrack. Ali's new album will include collaborations with Akon, Styles P, Sammie and more. This album will present a more mature Vegas and bring hip-hop back to its lyrical days. "I am really proud of this project, through the course of this album I have grown personally and professionally my music reflects my life" says Ali.


Vegas has experienced his share of setbacks, having two unsuccessful deals with Trackmaster Entertainment under Columbia and Casablanca Records with Tommy Mottola before signing to Rich Soil Entertainment. He is more determined now than ever to live up to the hype. Vegas is outspoken, self-empowered and intelligent; he is one of hip hop's most gifted emcees with enough content and talent to secure his position as the "Prince of New York".

Jimmy Flavorr Interview

"Luck is when preparation meets opportunity," Jimmy was born prepared and just needed one big break. Robert Mele launched a record label called Lindoro Entertainment with Jimmy Flavorr as its first artist. Now signed to Universal, and album dropping in May, Jimmy Flavorr take time out of his busy schedule to sit down with CorrienteLatina.com to talk about his life, his album and what he brings to the table...enjoy!

CorrienteLatina.com: Jimmy Flavorr the Dominican sensation. the Buzz is going crazy right now. For those that dont know who you are, who is Jimmy Flavorr?


Jimmy Flavorr says: Jimmy Flavorr is a humble dude who was born in the Dominican Republic that always had a passion for the Urban Latin Music. Now he is an artist performing my own style.


CorrienteLatina.com: Heard you got signed to universal, how did that come about?


Jimmy Flavorr says: Well recently I signed a distribution deal with Universal thanks to the great and respected introduction I received. They heard my music, heard the material I had, loved it and 3 days later I had a contract i the mail sent by Universal! in few words, thanks to my music!


CorrienteLatina.com: wow...3 days? thats crazy. were "she so hot" or "la bomba" on your demo?


Jimmy Flavorr says: Nope, lol. I made those songs after. So Imagine.


CorrienteLatina.com: so you are working on your album right now?


Jimmy Flavorr says: No i finshed the album already. We are currently starting to work on promoting the album. We are doing 2 videos one for 'La Bomba' in the Dominican Republic and the other for 'She So Hot' in Miami. ** Note: After the interview, the Miami location has been cancelled and is now in Panama **


CorrienteLatina.com: your a monster. lol. do you have any featured artists on it?


Jimmy Flavorr says: Yea, I have Adassa Jean, Luis Fonzi's brother and K Briyan from Big Family in the Dominican Republic.


CorrienteLatina.com: yea...i might have to come through to Miami to get down for that video. I live about an hour away...lol...


Jimmy Flavorr says: Yea, come trough


CorrienteLatina.com: What about producers, i heard you got some really hot producers that worked on the album.


Jimmy Flavorr says: Yeap. I have 2 Grammy award winning producers, Echo y Hyde and Diesel from Puerto Rico. Hyde is actually the engineer for Daddy Yankee and has done production work for artists like Daddy Yankee, Don Omar, Vico C and so many more. I also have a super talented producer named Lincoln that is 18 years old from the Dominican Republic.


CorrienteLatina.com: sounds like you got a production dream team right there. how was it to work with such producers knowing the people that have worked with before?


Jimmy Flavorr says: Well, it was a unique experience. We have great chemistry and I always let myself go and take an example from them. For example, the track 'La Bomba' was written right in the studio. It's hard, but Hyde told me to do it like a hard Hip-Hop track and Diesel made a hard beat so I just did the best I could there and it came out 'La Bomba'. So once in a while you need to let trusted professionals give you direction and most of the time everything will come out right.

KOCH RECORDS SIGNS TWISTA'S SPEEDKNOT MOBSTAZ IN CONJUNCTION WITH GET MONEY GANG



KOCH RECORDS SIGNS TWISTA’S

SPEEDKNOT MOBSTAZ

IN CONJUNCTION WITH GET MONEY GANG

NEW ALBUM, MOBSTABILITY II: NATION BIZNESS,

TO BE RELEASED ON MARCH 18TH, 2008

(New York, NY) — KOCH Records and Get Money Gang are pleased to announce the release of Twista Presents The Speedknot Mobstaz - Mobstability II: Nation Bizness on March 18th, 2008. The Speedknot Mobstaz are a two emcee collective consisting of Liffy Stokes and Mayz. This release is the first under Twista’s new entrepreneurial venture and label Get Money Gang (GMG).

The first single, “Money To Blow,” will be serviced to urban radio shortly.

Liffy and Mayz met Twista early on in their native Chicago, and when they all found themselves in the same studio while Twista was recording his Atlantic debut, Adrenaline Rush, the Speedknot Mobstaz were born. The Mobstaz were featured on Adrenaline Rush and also began working on their group album, Mobstability, which was released in 1998. Mobstability was well received by fans and painted vivid images of Crook County (Cook County) street life over grimy instrumental canvasses. Mobstability ultimately sold over 700,000 units and was certified gold by the RIAA. The album also produced “In Your World,” which was featured on the Dr. Doolittle soundtrack.

After the Atlantic Records debut, the Mobstaz were involved in the Twista Presents…Volumes 1, 2 and 3 compilation albums. Volumes 1 and 2 sold nearly half a million copies combined. After these compilations, the Mobstaz soon began touring with Twista and working on his next two albums, Kamikaze and The Day After, helping propel the albums to over two a and half million in sales internationally. They also appeared on Adrenaline Rush 2007.

Mobstability II: Nation Bizness features Twista and rap superstar Jim Jones, plus production from Chicago producer Cuzzo and the team from China White Productions. Liffy and Mayz are ready to serve their fans with another dose of street knowledge. “The album is the streets just like the first one was,” says Mayz. “We don’t have to create a fake image; we just have to let our soul speak to the people.”

E-DOT AND DARP MALONE ARE HERO

E-DOT AND DARP MALONE ARE HERO

GROUP’S DEBUT FULL-LENGTH EFFORT TO BE RELEASED ON FEBRUARY 26th, 2008

HERO: "A legendary figure endowed with great strength or ability; who commits an act of remarkable bravery or who has shown an admirable quality such as great courage or strength of character; the central figures of a movement."

The “movement” in this case is to push the boundaries of the music we know and love.


HERO gives us two such legendary figures. Introducing artist/producer extraordinaire Darp Malone and the incredible word-smith E-Dot (who has previously worked with Mr. Complex, The Chapter, Loer Velocity and released singles on Ill Bill’s Uncle Howie Records). These two long time collaborators have finally combined their efforts on a full-fledged scale to create a sound that is nothing short of amazing. HERO’s music is honest and passionate, so wonderfully sincere and effortless.

They have no capes or pantyhose, just soulful ballads and aggressive compositions. Somehow HERO manages to easily combine substance and intricate wordplay with moving melodies and catchy refrains.

Together as HERO, E-Dot and Darp Malone’s music utterly transcends time without the abuse of trends and propaganda. Upon first listen one comes to realize that the future is upon us. The time is now, and they are here. Embrace them, witness the conquest; and don’t take them for granted.

Tracklisting and credits for HERO (all songs produced by Darp Malone):

Michigan's Own One Be Lo To Release New Album Independently



Brooklyn, NY (January 15, 2008) Successful and independent emcee, producer, and business man, One Be Lo will be releasing his second solo album, The R.E.B.I.R.T.H. via his own Subterraneous Records and Integral Music Group on February 19th, 2008. The R.E.B.I.R.T.H., (Real Emcees Bring Intelligent Rhymes to Hip-Hop) is the end product of growth and the obstacles he's overcome since the release of his last album, S.O.N.O.G.R.A.M., which sold over 22,000 units in 2005.

Over the past three years, One Be Lo has kept his ear to the street and his eyes on the prize. A self-empowered artist, Lo has used his business savvy and work ethic to rise above some of the challenges he faced in recent years, which included dealing with shady business partners and phony cohorts, and amicably splitting with his former record label, Fat Beats Records. Instead of dwelling on these unfortunate situations, Lo focused his attention on being pro-active; he toured the world, set up a professional recording studio in his basement, and reached out to collaborate with other producers for the first time in his career. Says Lo, "My focus is stronger, and I'm hungrier than ever before. Whereas before, I was truly a 'one man army,' now I'm delegating responsibilities to a very competent team."

One Be Lo, also known as OneManArmy, first gained recognition in the late 90's as one half of the group Binary Star. Their final release, Masters of the Universe, sold over 30,000 units and at one point, fetched $90-350 on Ebay. After the group disbanded, several labels engaged in a bidding war for One Be Lo. The winning label was Fat Beats, who released the incredibly successful album, S.O.N.O.G.R.A.M., which thrust Lo in the national spotlight. The upcoming album, The R.E.B.I.R.T.H., is the end product of personal growth and the obstacles he's overcome. Armed with more business savvy, a hand picked supporting team, and a newfound hunger, Lo carefully cultivated 12 amazing songs, each with a distinct flavor held together by the unmistakable One Be Lo flow and wordplay. Now, officially declaring himself "a free agent," Lo is interested in collaborating with other artists and, if it fits, a new label home.

Track Listing of The R.E.B.I.R.T.H.

1. Rebirth

2, Born & Raised

3. Keep It Rollin'

4. Smash

5. Headlines

6. War

7. Don't Sleep

8. House Rules

9. Snap Shot

10. The G Gap

11. Hip Hop Heaven

Jimmy Flavorr - Flavorr of the Year!

Unique, dynamic, and determined are just a few words to describe Jimmy Flavorr. Through his ambition and life experiences Jimmy Flavorr has proven to be a force in the Dominican Republic and moving into the streets of New York with his diverse sound. In an industry desperate for truth and originality Jimmy Flavorr will quench the thirst through his positive lyrics and distinct sound.

Jimmy Flavorr was born in Dominican Republic and moved to New York at the age of 18. Jimmy moved to United States like others to work, support his family and experience the American dream. Jimmy’s dream became a reality when he was driving limousines, one night he drove the owner of the company back from the airport and his life changed. His boss Robert Mele was coming back from a family trip from Dominican Republic and they shared a story with Jimmy about an Aventura concert they attended. Jimmy mentioned his cousin Judy Santos sings with Aventura and Robert asked if she needed a manager but Jimmy was ready for this moment and made a bold move and said “manage me.” “Luck is when preparation meets opportunity,” Jimmy was born prepared and just needed one big break. Robert Mele launched a record label called Lindoro Entertainment with Jimmy Flavorr as its first artist.

Jimmy discovered music at the age of 9 and shortly started making noise in his neighborhood. At 10 years old he entered the first Latin Hip Hop competition in Dominican Republic called Sabadaso and won first place. Jimmy’s friends and family discovered his talent and he began to perform and battle in local places. As his talent developed it wasn’t an easy road and he started to see the truth around him as his friends got into an unsavory lifestyle, Jimmy focused on his music and decided not to participate. He realized that his music was not only his passion but also an escape. Jimmy’s lifestyle and personal story have shaped his music today.

Unlike the average MC on the streets Jimmy Flavorr uses his life experiences as the motivation for his music. Jimmy’s music is uncut, raw and real and aside from the hardcore image he portrays he does explore a whimsical side that is showcased in his lyrics. Jimmy’s ability to identify with various cultures gives him the unique sound needed in today’s industry. Jimmy Flavorr is an urban entertainer without limits with a myriad of flows to highlight the talent of this burgeoning superstar. Expect to see Jimmy Flavorr spread his sound throughout the world.

Dj Sin-cero Interview

DJ Sin-cero InterviewOne of the hottest Latin DJ's on the ones and twos today is DJ Sin-Cero. He has quickly elevated to the pinnacle of the Latin mixtape game. Describing himself as "The streets made me, not the radio". DJ Sin-Cero has emerged as the top Latin mixtape dj in the world. The young Connecticut native began his mixtape career in early 2004 and has quickly become a latin national sensation. During his career, so far he has released well over 100 mixtapes. DJ Sin-Cero has worked on exclusive projects with some of latin's biggest stars including Arcangel, De La Ghetto, Julio Voltio, Jowell & Randy, Andy Boy, Plan b, Lumidee and Divino. With mixtapes like Arcangel's "The New King" and Jowell & Randy's "Los Mas Sueltos", this helped establish his industry dominance and lead him to
capturing the 2007 Best Exclusive Latin DJ at the highly recognized Latin Urban Mixx Awards. He has been praised in national publications including MTV news,
and hip hop weekly magazine and now he sits down with CorrienteLatina.com for this exclusive interview.



CorrienteLatina.com : Dj Sin-cero you are like one of the few young cats doing they thing on the DJ scene. I am sure there are not many
people that dont know who you are...so for those 8 people that dont, who is DJ Sin-cero?


Dj Sin-cero : DJ sin-cero is the Dj who is putting the latin urban music in the map. yeah we all know about yankee, wisin y yandel etc. but

puting the talent tha doesnt get the right exposure. always grinding. always going for higher also constantly networking and testing the waters so tha other Djs could follow a leader making sure that the latin urban music is here to stay. not just me by myself. my brother blankoooo is a big part. sin-cero & blanko leaders. we the leaders and the rest follow. we are the ones who open doors and try new things before anyone else...



CorrienteLatina.com : Well, you have definitely been on the grind with that. So how did DJ Sin-cero begin? what made you want to be a DJ?


Dj Sin-cero : I started real young. scratching mom and pops old records in the old record player. then after that i got me two cheap turntables and two records and everyday after school it was on. ill unplug mom dukess stereo player hook it up to my turntables until i blew the speakers. listenning to funkmaster flex, mister c everytime i had the chance and listen to them do all the fancy scratching sounds. i wanted to do all that. then reggaeton came in the picture listenning to old playero, dj eric, master joe, mexicano (one of my favorites) baby rasta etc. so i was like thats the music im gonna focus on.


CorrienteLatina.com : You named alot of old School artists there...I respect that. Now, people always have back stories on how they got
their name, whats yours? How did you get the name Sin-cero?



Dj Sin-cero : honestly a named tha came at first from a old girlfriend. she used to call me sincere. i thought the name was hot but i flip it in spanish. then Sin-cero came along. at first i thought its a hot name but now for wha i stand for I actualy means alot more than a name Sin-cero means tha im honest to my work the people that support me the artist i work with im always Sin-cero : 100% now the - in the middle was to give it flavorrrr but at first it started just as a name and now to me and alot of people it have a meaning and importancia...


CorrienteLatina.com : Lets talk about your mixtape game. The Encendio series has been a hot commodity for you as well as exclusive mixtapes with up and coming artists, what makes you decide who you work with on these exclusive mixtapes?



Dj Sin-cero : at first it was hard because up coming djs. its hard to get a big artist or just an artist that people know to do something for u. speacialy for free but honestly grind grind grind and hard work pays off. gracia a dios. artist contact me to do mixtapes. i worked with artists that right now are the faces of the new reggaeton. arcangel, de la ghetto, jowell y randy etc. and to be honest when i first did mixtapes with this people. they didn't have the exposure where people out here knew them. still blanko and I took that chance. and now people know we had a big part in some of this hot artists carreers the exclusivity for music now comes easy because the dues that blanko and I had to pay are pay prettty much lol. now its so easy for me to me a artist and say "ey im sin-cero and i need new music" because they know who i am and wha im doing for the genre!




CorrienteLatina.com : Im sure about that. You are already known as the 2007 Best Dj for exclusive. Back to these artists, Jowell & randy made my favorite song of 2007. And those risks of working with these artists really paid off. and im sure the respect they have for you is inmeasurable. I want to ask you...there are many Djs that use record and mixtape beef to promote themselves. I have never heard of you having beef with any other DJ..how do you stay away from that?


DJ Sin-cero: in the past here and there. im a lay back dude. One of the djs we talked about it we squash and we coo. other ones tha try I shut the buzz down.
i don't have time for beef or like we say "tiraera", but that doesnt mean that if they try to get at us we ain't gonna get them back. NO WAY. im a coo dude and we coo with every dj. so no time for beefs...



CorrienteLatina.com : Yea i can't stand that beef stuff sometimes. Ok i ask this questions to artists all the time...and i figured maybe asking a DJ especially one as big as you...if you could work with any artists, dead or alive who would it be and why?




Dj Sin-cero : good question...mmmmmmm...im gonna say jowell y randy again. because those two kids i think by far got the most talent in the
reggaeton game. easy to work with humble easy to work with and humble and another person that i just finish doing a mixtape for is divino men its hard

because the list keeps going.yaga y mackie someone also tha i would love to work with its the man himself T.E.M.P.O i think that's the person i would love
to work with right now. try to make a difference and show people how he feelz from prision!




CorrienteLatina.com : yea he is like the king of Latin Hip-Hop, i would love to see a mixtape with you two. So whats next for you?


Dj Sin-cero : like
