      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Already garnering start-up success, Lovely Hoffman's debut single "Can't Wait" has already circulated throughout the college radio circuite and has peaked on national college urban radio charts.</p><p>Atlanta, GA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 03/05/2008 --   R&amp;B&apos;s newest artist, Lovely Hoffman, delivers with the successful release of her debut single "Can&apos;t Wait" on 100 Decibels Music Group. Since its initial pre-release, "Can&apos;t Wait" has strengthened its position garnering increasing spins and rave reviews from DJs worldwide and has also circulated the mixtape circuit, most noticeably being recently featured on one of DJ Vlad&apos;s mixtapes. According to RapAttackLives.com urban college radio charts, the single charted as a new entry at number 24 in the first week of its pre-release and quickly climbed up the charts peaking at number 10 after soaring up 4 spots in one week. As the only R&amp;B single on the national college urban radio charts at the time during its highest peak, Lovely Hoffman&apos;s "Can&apos;t Wait" also peaked at number 9 on Rap Network&apos;s Record Breakers Chart. To say the least, the single is quickly gaining momentum methodically working its way up from the hands of DJs worldwide and the underground circuit to national urban college radio and ultimately earning continued rotation across radio airwaves.<br />
<br />
Co-produced and written by Lovely herself and mixed by Ken Lewis (who boasts of credits of working with the likes of major artists including Mariah Carey, Usher, Janet Jackson, Kanye West, and Mary J. Blige) "Can&apos;t Wait" is a feel good single that flirts with the anticipation of love coming home. It&apos;s a single with lyrics that women can reminisce on and flowing with a bass line that will also warm up to men. The single undoubtedly builds with a new energy, new sound, and a new style.  <br />
<br />
"It feels good that radio is accepting and appreciating new material from a new artist. Although I&apos;ve been writing for many years, this was a big step for me as Can&apos;t Wait is my debut release and I wanted to have a major role in the creative process. I wrote the lyrics, came up with the vocal arrangement as well as the melody, so it feels good that people are feeling the song and accepting what I have done." Lovely Hoffman<br />
<br />
Lovely Hoffman is a Boston native from Roxbury&apos;s Orchard Park neighborhood. In just a short period since her unveiling to the R&amp;B music scene, Lovely has already graced major stages performing alongside fellow R&amp;B artists, Ne-yo, T-Pain, and Lloyd. She&apos;s also the 2006 recipient of New England&apos;s Urban Music Award for best R&amp;B band performance.<br />

      <title>The Death of the Music Industry in 2008</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">New report details emerging music promotion trends to be successful in today's new music business model.</p><p>Atlanta, GA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 01/22/2008 --   The music business as we know it is dying a fast death and gone are those days of pressing up and selling CDs. That&apos;s bad news for those still playing the same old music game but definitely not bad news for those artists and labels willing to ride the new wave. But all is not lost with the music industry. Emerging trends in online marketing and social media optimization has created new opportunities to market to a larger audience. Those who survive will see the need to step outside of the traditional label relationship and be more cost effective while still being able to make money and have longevity in the business. Those who fail will continue to do what they&apos;ve been doing. Nevertheless, there are some hot new trends to jump start any music promotion campaign in 2008.<br />
<br />
8 Music Promotion Trends for 2008:<br />
<br />
Viral Videos: We saw what it did for Soulja Boy. Imagine what a little creativity could do in your online promotions.<br />
<br />
Digital Sales: It&apos;s killed CD sales but created new sales opportunities (i.e. ringtones, mobile marketing, etc). Combine your digital sales with your Myspace, Facebook, &amp; social media marketing strategy.<br />
<br />
Free Music: It&apos;s not completely free but funded by advertisers and sponsors. Heard of RCRD LBL or Spiral Frog? Find out how Puma &amp; other advertisers are helping their artists promote their songs.<br />
<br />
Online PR: Print media is always a great source of publicity but notice how magazines are shrinking in size and becoming less content &amp; way too much ads. Besides, online PR gets your message out quicker and to a larger audience.<br />
<br />
Blog, Blog, &amp; Blog: Besides being a great tool to stay in touch with your audience, blogging also helps to optimize your search engine rank.<br />
<br />
Guerilla Marketing: Nothing beats in your face marketing that you can&apos;t seem to avoid.<br />
<br />
Control at the Hands of Your Audience: It worked for Radiohead when they let their fans name the price of their CD. It could work for you.<br />
 <br />
New media technologies: Myspace, Facebook, Ning, Bebo, Joost TV, Goodstorm Mixtapes. Need I say more.<br />

      <title>Atlanta's Camp Creek Marketplace Sees Explosion in New Homes</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Modestly priced to mid to upscale luxury homes and developments abound throughout the Camp Creek community and South Fulton County, making it one of metro Atlanta's fastest growing communities.</p><p>Atlanta, GA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 10/26/2007 --   Quaintly tucked away on the Southside of Atlanta, South Fulton County is all the buzz, and with the development of the new Camp Creek Marketplace this area is being re-energized in a major way. Camp Creek Marketplace is the Southside&apos;s equivalent to Midtown Atlanta&apos;s Atlantic Station boasting over 1.2 million square feet of retail space with major anchor stores including Barnes &amp; Noble, Target, Circuit City, and Marshalls to name a few and a host of over 100 restaurants and stores. Just when this area couldn&apos;t get any better, a new hotel is currently under development with a wave of more businesses and retailers to come. More impressive is how the South Fulton area, particularly the Camp Creek community, has experienced an influx of newly built homes bringing with it a mass of new residents to this live, work, play community.<br />
<br />
Brand new homes ranging from modestly priced to upscale and luxury homes are easily noticeable throughout the Camp Creek community. Matter of factly, the largest development in South Fulton county is nestled right in the Camp Creek community. The Princeton Lakes Estates subdivision is comprised of five neighborhoods all ranging in different price points from the $160&apos;s to the mid $300&apos;s. Just a couple of miles up from the Princeton Lakes Estates subdivision reveals mid luxury and luxury homes characterized by all the finer trimmings including multiple levels, basements, huge lots, designer kitchens, and many more luxuries.<br />
<br />
Judging by these early trends and other developments being built in the Camp Creek community and throughout the entire South Fulton area, it&apos;s a safe bet to say that this area is a prime location for families seeking homes in neighborhoods distant from the hustle and bustle of the city yet accessible to everything the metro area has to offer. Not only would these families benefit by purchasing while the new homes in the area are still affordable, they&apos;ll also benefit in knowing that they&apos;re coming in while the South Fulton area is still in its early prime years. <br />

      <title>ATLHomeForSale.com Launches to Assist Home Buying/Selling Process</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">ATLHomeForSale.com launches to provide a wealth of information on buying and selling a home in Atlanta and throughout Georgia, a neighborhood and relocation guide, a full search of area real estate, information on maximizing your home's sales price, and investing concepts. </p><p>Atlanta, GA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 10/24/2007 --   Often considered a prime real estate market offering relatively affordable housing coupled with a Southern charm in a big city, Atlanta is one of the fastest growing metropolitan cities. Even in today&apos;s slumping real estate market and a record number of foreclosures, the metro Atlanta real estate market continues to survive evidenced by new homes and condos popping up everywhere. Given this, buyers and sellers alike are becoming more information savvy and seeking to be better informed in the process. To fill this need, ATLHomeForSale.com launches to provide a wealth of information at your fingertips. Not to mention that the site is spearheaded by Re/Max Marketplace realtor, Fabiola Fleuranvil.<br />
<br />
The website is laid out in an easy to navigate and appealing format and provides a comprehensive online resource center for Georgia buyers and sellers. It&apos;s easy for buyers to become overwhelmed by the buying and many of today&apos;s problems in the industry are a result of uninformed buyers. Therefore, buyers will appreciate that ATLHomeForSale.com offers an online home buying guide as well as a neighborhood and relocation guide, a mortgage calculator and loan information guide, and helpful tips on credit repair. Buyers can also request to receive a personalized listing of homes available for sale. As an added value, buyers can sign up to receive a 7-part email series of the online home buying seminar. The site also features an easy to use interface and search function of all Georgia properties listed on the Georgia MLS. By the time a buyer navigates through all of the information on the site, they&apos;ll feel a lot more confident about making the decision to take control of their financial future by investing in a home.<br />
<br />
Likewise, Georgia sellers will find useful tips on preparing their property for the sale and a side-by-side comparison between selling for sale by owner and using the services of a realtor. In today&apos;s oversaturated real estate market, perhaps one of the factors making it most difficult to sell is an unrealistic sales price. Consequently, ATLHomeForSale.com offers sellers a personalized comparative market analysis (CMA) to help determine the right list price. Beyond that, investors will appreciate knowing that the site&apos;s real estate agent also specializes in investment properties.<br />
<br />
ATLHomeForSale.com is everything an educated buyer and seller seeks and more. It is the source for buying, selling, and investing in real estate in Atlanta and throughout the state Georgia. The fact that the site&apos;s real estate agent, Fabiola Fleuranvil, carries the name of the highly recognized and favored Re/Max brand is an added benefit. <br />

      <title>Loving &amp; Raising Asia: New Book Recounts Experiences of a Black Couple Adopting &amp; Raising a White Child in the Deep South</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">“Loving & Raising Asia” is a true story of love without boundaries and love that prevails over bigotry, hatred, and malice.</p><p>Atlanta, GA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 09/04/2007 --   In "Loving &amp; Raising Asia: Black Parents With a White Child in the South," Author J. Denise Cromwell gives an intimate look into the lives of a courageous black, southern couple who possessed enough love to see through the complicated entanglements of race in America to offer their love to a white infant in 1991. This is a redeeming story of supreme love, faith, dedication, and role reversal- that a black family would have the courage to raise a white child in the deep south of South Carolina despite the fear of rejection and racial intolerance. <br />
<br />
This is a true story of a woman who becomes unable to conceive after three failed pregnancies and grows desperate at her inherent urge for motherhood that it was only natural for her to look to adoption as a practical option. But she finds that even in adoption there was an unexpected surprise when her adopted bi-racial baby turns out to be Caucasian. She learns that the young white birth mother used the classic culprit by claiming her pregnancy was a result of her being raped by a black man. <br />
<br />
J. Denise Cromwell&apos;s story is one of courage, change, and inspiration. She had the courage to trust in love and overcome the fear of rejection. Her story is a living testimony to how far racial tolerance has improved and the positive direction it is headed in. However, everyday is a work in progress towards complete harmony among us. Her story is an inspiration to other women in similar situations and to everyone having to battle with their own struggles. The message in this true story is that love prevails over all forms of bigotry, hate, or malice.<br />

      <title>From Ex-convict to Now Author of 10 Books, Alfred Adams Jr. Tours Atlanta Youth Detention Centers</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">With over 25,000 copies sold in less than a year, author Alfred Adams, Jr embarks on a 30-city book tour to include book signings, a college tour, and speaking engagements at youth dentention centers and Boys & Girls Clubs.</p><p>Atlanta, GA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 08/14/2007 --   He&apos;s already sold over 25,000 copies of his first novel, "My Brother&apos;s Keeper," in less than a year since his release from prison after serving 12 1/2 years of a 25-year sentence. With the release of his second novel, "Till Death Do Us Part," Alfred Adams, Jr. embarks on a 30-city book tour that includes book signings and youth outreach missions at local youth detention centers and Boys &amp; Girls Clubs. He&apos;s had his own struggles as a youth that eventually landed him behind bars, but it&apos;s his new found success and life-changing story of beating all odds against him that serves as a motivation and inspiration for youths who may be battling their own struggles.<br />
<br />
Besides the usual &apos;Stay in School&apos; motto that typical speakers lose their young audience with, Alfred Adams, Jr shares his real life experiences to reveal how his bad decisions resulted in paying harsh consequences and how different the outcome would have been had he made better decisions. He also engages detained youths in an inspiring story of how being incarcerated for 12 1/2 years was not the end for him but used it as an opportunity to make his situation a lot better upon his release. It&apos;s such an inspiration to see how he wrote and published 10 books and generated sales of over 3,000 copies all while incarcerated. He shares with his audience that great things can come out of bad situations and now is the time to start. <br />
<br />
"It&apos;s been such a blessing to read letters from the teens that I&apos;ve spoken with and see how they&apos;ve found new inspirations through my stories and know now they trulyy believe that their current situation is just a stepping stone to a better one. Some of these detention centers have noticed that impact and have welcomed me back on several occassions. I&apos;ve done my job and served my purpose!" Alfred Adams, Jr.<br />

      <title>Mr. Grand aka Grand Champ Unleashes New Weekly Freestyle Series Titled The Grand Champ: Round 1</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Over the next 12 weeks, the Internet will be buzzing with Mr. Grand's weekly freestyle series.</p><p>Atlanta, GA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 08/08/2007 --   With the release of his fourth project, "The Greenlight," due in stores August 28th, Mr. Grand aka Grand Champ announces the debut of his weekly freestyle series titled, "The Grand Champ." The series delivers 12 rounds of lyrical substance and a gritty rhyme flow and will end with his audience giving him all his points on the score card for a unanimous decision declaring him as the next contender to watch for. The underdogs usually receive less notoriety but at the end it&apos;s no doubt that Mr. Grand will win the fight.<br />
<br />
For the most part, it&apos;s safe to say that there&apos;s not too many Southern rappers going hard on freestyles, of course, outside of your typical well-known artists. However, freestyle to freestyle, week to week this series will prove to the world that there&apos;s more coming out of Atlanta than what&apos;s typically heard. Real recognize real so there&apos;s quite a few hip hop websites and blogs that have already jumped on board to feature the freestyles on a weekly basis. Other than that, they can be heard on his myspace page at www.myspace.com/GStaxEntertainment.<br />
<br />
Week 1 debuts with "The Grand Champ, Round 1: Fear Factor Freestyle," and starts off with this:<br />
<br />
"It&apos;s time to end all the speculation I got &apos;em in desperation. A classical flow they heard about my reputation. Notice the separation this cush is my medication to get to my destination. I need it for elevation. It was real, I would come in revelations so I had a reservation I don&apos;t need no explanation. Real ****** waitin&apos; so I got a obligation. Them haterz ain&apos;t ready for no confrontation..." Mr. Grand aka Grand Champ<br />
<br />
Mr. Grand is available for interviews and appearances by contacting Fabiola at (404) 437-0078 or Fabiola@NYLAEntertainmentGroup. Stay tuned for the weekly freestyles at www.myspace.com/GStaxEntertainment.<br />

      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">The name may not sound familiar, but Lunch aka Da General definitely has a lot to brag about; a highly successful independent career and a new distribution deal with Universal.</p><p>Atlanta, GA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 08/07/2007 --   You may already be familiar with the unique sound of Lunch. He&apos;s rapped on three Reebok radio commercials with DaOrfenz featuring Allen Iverson and Nick Van Exle. His discography boasts plenty of collaborations with major label talent including Akon, Styles P, WC, Rayvon, Kurupt, Dominoe &amp; KRS 1 for Temple of Hip Hop. His underground street appeal has secured his guest appearance on over 25 independent albums and over 70 mixtapes. He&apos;s even released 3 albums in one week with 20,000+ units sold, mostly in Southern Los Angeles. Plain and simple, he&apos;s everywhere- in magazines (Allhiphop.com, True Magazine, etc.), on radio (Wild 96, 106.1 KMEL, Power 106, etc.), and in the streets grindin&apos; hard- a strategy that has already positioned him to be a leader in the new generation of Hop Hop lyricists.<br />
<br />
Meet Lunch. Although recently signed with Federal/Universal Distribution, he&apos;s been releasing albums on his label, Homeless Nation, since &apos;97 with 100,000 plus units sold independently in the streets of the Inland Empire (Southern L.A.) and across the nation. With his latest album, "Heart of a Lion," scheduled for release August 14, Lunch is about to introduce the Inland Empire to a mainstream audience. The first single, "Get &apos;Em Girl," is already receiving 90-110 spins per week on urban and mainstream stations across the nation. The classic album features label mates Diamonique and Homeless Nation as well as 40 Glock (G-Unit), Styles P, Rayvon, Kokane, and more. This album brings to the table a universal sound with cleverly choreographed lyrics and showcases to the world the new generation of West Coast Hip Hop.<br />
<br />
"The name Homeless came about because we never felt part of any one society; we were outcasts. Homeless Nation is a movement, it&apos;s a way of life, it&apos;s a religion, and it&apos;s a style of music," says Lunch.<br />

      <title>Rosco Has More to Brag About Other Than Just an Akon &amp; Jadakiss Feature</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Rosco's, "You Feel Me," ft Akon & Jadakiss is topping overseas charts , supported by over 850 DJs, gaining spins from major stations, and has the internet going nuts.</p><p>Atlanta, GA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 07/25/2007 --   With the summer season bringing about a wave of mixtapes and the hottest mixshows, chances are you&apos;ve heard of the summer&apos;s newest street anthem, "You Feel Me," by Rosco featuring Akon and Jadakiss. Perhaps it was on one of the more than 30 mixtapes circulating around with the single. Maybe it was on the countless hip hop websites, podcasts, and blogs mentioning it with rave reviews. Regardless of where its been heard, the fact is that the single is officially one of the hottest surfacing around. <br />
<br />
"You Feel Me" has taken on a guerilla approach of its own. In just a few short weeks, the single has made its way through the hands of DJs, mixshows, and industry tastemakers worldwide creating a tremendous street response. Rosco has already recorded over 850 drop requests received from DJs nationwide and overseas and is constantly receiving additional requests for drops and mixtape features. The single is also topping charts in the overseas market (i.e. Berlin, Japan, London, Australia, Quebec, to name a few). Beyond that, several stations have already picked up the single for spins including: 102.9 WOWI, 92.1 WCDX, 92.7 WJBT, 96.3 KTTB, 103.9 KBDS, 98.3 KKFR, Music Choice Networks, Sirius satellite Channel 50, XM satellite channel 66, and many more. Of course a collaboration with some of the industry&apos;s finest- Akon and Jadakiss- makes for a great formula for a hit record, but Rosco undoubtedly holds his own with these two great artists and delivers on the single. Given the single&apos;s tremendous success, the next few weeks brings about increased efforts to ensure that every DJ, radio station, and media source knows about Rosco, but one thing&apos;s for sure the wheels have already been set in motion for a successful take-off.<br />

As she prepares for the release of her first project, "Sound the Trumpets," Empire ISIS aka Empress Gangstress brings the fire with her high energy and conscious dancehall lyrics.<br />
<br />
Recorded between New York and Bob Marley&apos;s legendary Tuff Gong Studio in Kingston, Jamaica alongside co-producer Prayon from G-unit, Overstand, and Flava, "Sound the Trumpets" features roots reggae stars Sizzla and Turbulence.

The first single, "Get Up On It," fuses a Dancehall sound with an infectious horn that calls you out to the dance floor. It&apos;s definitely one of those singles to get the bass beats bumping, the tops down low, and the ladies shaking their hips. <br />

      <title>Author's of "My Brother's Keeper" and "Bishop" Hit the Road for East Coast Book Tour</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Having already sold 10,000 copies of the book “My Brother’s Keeper” and “Bishop,” authors, Alfred Adams, Jr. and Oh! hit the road for an East coast book tour</p><p>Atlanta, GA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 12/04/2006 --  Having already sold 10,000 copies of the book "My Brother&apos;s Keeper" and "Bishop," authors, Alfred Adams, Jr. and Oh! hit the road for an East coast book tour that includes over 35 book signings, speaking engagements, and radio interviews. <br />
<br />
With a story plot that takes place in Marcy Projects in Brooklyn, NY and vividly recounts the harsh realities of the streets, "My Brother&apos;s Keeper" is a story about three brothers with very different paths- a drug kingpin, an intellectual student, and an aspiring rapper. As a result of the brother&apos;s street endeavors, intellect, and talents the family becomes one of the biggest success stories out of the ghetto. That is until an unsuspecting enemy of the street-hustling brother emerges, bringing the family back to the streets to engage in a war of life or death.  <br />
<br />
"Bishop" is a tale of a church boy whose family falls on hard times and is forced to move into the notorious Fort Greene projects of Brooklyn, NY. When the hood&apos;s vicious thug guns down his only friend and beef&apos;s with Bishop over an ex-girlfriend, he suddenly finds himself in a tug-a-war between morality and self-protection, but does he sacrifice his church roots doing so? This is an invitation for all readers to take a walk through one of New York&apos;s illest boroughs and indulge into a life of loyalty, faith, love, murder and mayhem.<br />
<br />
In addition to the book tour stretching as far south as Atlanta and as far north as Boston, the authors Alfred Adams, Jr and Oh! are also speaking to the youth at various YMCA and Youth Detention Centers to share their compelling story about living the street life, serving a 25 year bid, and being self-published authors already releasing over seven books. They prove that life does exist outside of prison. Also, a portion of their book sales are donated to the YMCA.<br />

The authors are available for speaking engagements and interviews by contacting Fabiola at (404) 437-0078. For more information, please visit PenCushionPub.com and DeweyHillPublishing.com.<br />

      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">DJ Smallz of the Southern Smoke mixtape series selects the next artist to fear with the release of the upcoming Fear Factor mixtape collabo with Mr. Grand </p><p>Atlanta, GA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 11/14/2006 --  In a move that will prove to be colossal to the success of his music career, Mr. Grand has collaborated with DJ Smallz, of the infamous Southern Smoke mixtape series, on his finest project ever, "The Grand Opening" set for release November 14, 2006. The first single, "Show U What It Do," has already garnered major support from DJ&apos;s all over the country and overseas and has been receiving a great amount of radio play. The single is a cross-over hit with commercial success that will appeal to hip hop lovers all over. Two other singles, "Let It Rain" and "Long Time" have been a favorite among DJ&apos;s due to Mr. Grand&apos;s gritty rhyme flow and his ability to capture the true essence of story telling. "Long Time" takes on a personal tone using the Sam Cooke remake, "Change Gonna Come," to express his journey in life. The mixtape also features a host of other tracks that proves his ability to deliver many different flows and sounds, a style that he&apos;s learned from his all-time influencer, hip hop legend, Nas.<br />
<br />
Shortly following the release of the "The Grand Opening," Mr. Grand is also preparing for the release of his "Hood Certified Vol 3" mixtape in late December and the upcoming album, "The Greenlight," in late January 2007.<br />

About MR. GRAND<br />
<br />
Mr. Grand got his start at an early age learning to play several instruments including the violin and cello; skills now translating in his ability to produce his own music. He later went on to establish his presence by heavily hitting the streets of Atlanta and distributing 8,000 mix tapes, "Hood Certified Vol 1 &amp; 2." The streets loved it and his hype grew large enough that he was able to score a meeting at Def Jam South to discuss a possible record deal. The label executives thought it would make a great record, but decided against it because they felt that his sound wasn&apos;t Southern enough. Today, his catalog boasts hundreds of already completed tracks and he&apos;s changed his style to cross regional barriers. <br />

      <title>Hip Hop/R&amp;B Veteran, Clayton Savage, Announces Release of Forthcoming Album, Rollin'</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Most widely recognized as a former member of the legendary Furious Five and recording alongside Grandmaster Melle Mel and The Sugar Hill Gang, Clayton Savage, releases his fourth album, "Rollin", on January 16, 2007 under the Red K Records imprint. </p><p>Atlanta, GA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 10/24/2006 --  Since his days recording with The Sugar Hill Gang, Grandmaster Melle Mel, and the Furious Five and writing and producing for the likes of Bobby Brown and Kool Moe Dee, Clayton Savage has been in full production mode managing his Virginia-based label, Red K Records. Now with the release of his fourth solo album, he&apos;s blending his signature fusion of Hip-Hop Soul to introduce the flip side of R&amp;B on his new album, "Rollin".<br />
<br />
&apos;Rollin,&apos; is a club-ready hip hop/r&amp;b album laced with party tracks with maximum crossover appeal. Unlike previous albums, this album dives deeper into mixing the r&amp;b story telling with the urban dance appeal and has no rock guitar based songs. The first single, "Pimpin It," is an ode to the working woman, from the stock room to the pole and has a slick twist at the end of the song. The single also showcases the production skills that gives it its club appeal and is already becoming a hit among DJ&apos;s and has charted on several record pools and currently gaining airplay. "Shake Ya Thongz" is a fun single that urges its listeners to get yours; whatever it is.  "Feel My Flow" is a dance floor jam that brings the feel of southern hip hop with a classic R&amp;B dance vibe. This album is a production of truly enjoyable music that focuses on rounding out the listening experience and captures the most fickle R&amp;B listener while also gaining the love and respect for listeners who appreciate a more versatile and classic sound. <br />
<br />
In addition to preparing for the release of his forthcoming album, Clayton Savage is also sharing his musical genious and experiences as a panelist at the Mid Atlantic Music Conference November 3-5, 2006 in Charlotte, NC. Today&apos;s artists can definitely take lessons from this hip hop legend given that his single, "We Don&apos;t Work for Free" featuring Melle Mel, was the first Top 20 R&amp;B/Hip-Hop hybrid and "In the Palm of Her Hand" was the featured song in the opening credits for BET&apos;s iconic show "Video Soul". <br />

      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">At a time when the state of black relationships is wreaking havoc on our communities and the number of unpartnered black couples and divorces on the rise, In Due Time sheds positive light on black love.</p><p>Atlanta, GA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 08/21/2006 --  PublishAmerica is proud to present In Due Time by breakout author Walter L. Frazier Jr.  In Due Time is the fictional story of Mark Anthony, a man many guys can relate to, who goes away to college to better himself, but in the process he learns a hard lesson in women and life and an even harder lesson about himself. Not wanting too much out of life, like most of us, he just wants family, love, a career and a few things in between. Upon seeing an old girlfriend that he hasn&apos;t spoken to in over a decade, Mark realizes his life could forever change. In one brief moment Mark Anthony&apos;s whole life could change. Mark Anthony is now forced to face the demons of his past to protect his future, but to face the demons he has to relive the hell of his past he tried so hard to forget.<br />
<br />
In Due Time is the first book released by Walter L. Frazier, Jr., who plans to depict his male characters in a more positive light rather than the typical cheating and sexually promiscuous ways of most male characters in African-American novels. Walter L. Frazier, Jr. wants to change the perception of black males and relationships and dismiss the myth that black love is extinct.<br />
<br />
The former United States Marines now spends his spare time participating in community programs benefiting inner city youths. The breakout author finds it fulfilling and his life long purpose to mentor the youth and serve as an example for a positive black male role model. Not to mention that the black belt martial artist also teaches martial arts and boxing to inner city youth as an excellent way to help instill confidence.<br />

      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p><p><p>Atlanta, GA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 08/21/2006 --  PublishAmerica is proud to present In Due Time by breakout author Walter L. Frazier Jr.  In Due Time is the fictional story of Mark Anthony, a man many guys can relate to, who goes away to college to better himself, but in the process he learns a hard lesson in women and life and an even harder lesson about himself. Not wanting too much out of life, like most of us, he just wants family, love, a career and a few things in between. Upon seeing an old girlfriend that he hasn&apos;t spoken to in over a decade, Mark realizes his life could forever change. In one brief moment Mark Anthony&apos;s whole life could change. Mark Anthony is now forced to face the demons of his past to protect his future, but to face the demons he has to relive the hell of his past he tried so hard to forget.</p><p><br />
In Due Time is the first book released by Walter L. Frazier, Jr., who plans to depict his male characters in a more positive light rather than the typical cheating and sexually promiscuous ways of most male characters in African-American novels. Walter L. Frazier, Jr. wants to change the perception of black males and relationships and dismiss the myth that black love is extinct.</p><p><br />
The former United States Marines now spends his spare time participating in community programs benefiting inner city youths. The breakout author finds it fulfilling and his life long purpose to mentor the youth and serve as an example for a positive black male role model. Not to mention that the black belt martial artist also teaches martial arts and boxing to inner city youth as an excellent way to help instill confidence.</p><p><br />
