Featured Artist Rhymefest f/Phonte ...... "Say Whassup" 3D Video
RHYMEFEST TO RELEASE REVOLUTIONARY 3D VIDEO
Promises to Change Rap Music Videos Forever
CHICAGO – In the days leading up to El Che’s June 8 release, Rhymefest continues to build anticipation for the highly anticipated LP with the announcement of Hip Hop’s first three-dimensional music video. The video, produced by veteran videographer Konee Rok, features Rhymefest and Little Brother’s Phonte for El Che’s first official single, “Say Wassup.” The first in a series of graphically groundbreaking videos, “Say Wassup” is predicted to change rap videos in the same light that Avatar changed motion pictures.
Following “Say Wassup,” fans can expect to see a video for every song on El Che. With the comic book themed “Chicago,” and the Merry Melodies inspired “Give It To Me” already buzzing online, Rhymefest promises to deliver more visual gems with “Prosperity,” “City is Falling,” and “Talk My S**t” hitting the net soon. According to Rhymefest, “because my fans have been so patient with El Che, I want to give them things they’ve never seen or heard before. That’s what makes El Che revolutionary on multiple levels.”
In addition to the world class visuals that will accompany El Che, Rhymefest’s label, dN|Be Entertainment, also recently announced that a limited quantity of red cassettes will be released for the album. Dubbed the “Red Tape,” the cassette will feature all 16 tracks from Rhymefest’s long awaited sophomore effort. As well, a transparent, prison-safe cassette will also be released for El Che. The clear cassettes will feature no screws and are approved for usage by inmates in most prisons.
With El Che already receiving an XL review from XXL and an 8/10 from Spin Magazine, the momentum for the project continues to build as Rhymefest releases goodies like the collector’s edition “Red Tape” and the 3D video for “Say Wassup.” Rhymefest vows to drop more El Che exclusives on the interactive website

About the release: It's easy to argue hip-hop is no longer the fierce art-form it used to be. Gritty kicks and punching snares have been replaced by squeaky clean drum kits. Synthesized keyboard melodies are the popular go-to while the chopped obscure sample is frowned upon. Who wants to pay for samples, right? And if that weren't enough, the clever, socially conscious emcee has traded in skill for...swagger. It's a sad day if you are a fan of the boom-bap but AOK alumni, 8thW1 and the 2 Hungry Bros have a solution that is sure to change your outlook with their collaborative effort No Room For Dessert.
Fresh off of the release of their acclaimed compilation LP, Table Manners, the 2 Hungry Bros. production duo Deep and Ben Boogz provide a backdrop of compositions that are bound to cause whip-lash amongst the most stiff-necked critics. Meanwhile, for those who need more than good beats in their iPod, 8thW1 brings witty and intelligent bars with a touch of humor wrapped in an effortless flow reminiscent of the wordsmiths of the early 90's Golden Era. This combination of the two musical entities on this project boasts a balanced tracklist that showcases variety while maintaining consistency making it an easy listen from start to finish.
With features from AOK crew mates (Fresh Daily, Homeboy Sandman and P.So), Von Pea of Tanya Morgan, Reef the Lost Cauze and more, this is a must have for the hip-hop fan who is tired of the sweet stuff. No Room For Dessert, indeed!

Featured Artist.....Copywrite
After over a year of trying to work with Mighty Mi to take T.H.E. High Exhaulted off of I tunes and getting no where, Copywrite has finally erupted. Copywrite had approached Milo over a year ago about wanting to re-release his debut album since there was never a formal contract between the two he felt there would be no issue. Milo however felt differently and would not give Copywrite permission to include a couple of the tracks that Milo had done production for on the re-release. Copywrite accepted that but insisted that T.H.E High Exhaulted be taken down off of I Tunes and anywhere else Milo might have it for sale. A year later Milo still has not done this. "Poorly Promote This" was born out of Copywrite's frustration with how Milo and Eon handled the promotion of his first record and the recent chatter that has been heard about him re-releasing his classic debut.

Featured Artist....Kil Ripkin
Hip Hop is a culture that was created by and for the people, and when it comes to exhibiting that love and passion for the art, nobody displays it like Kil Ripkin the Genereal, AKA The Ghetto Correspondent. Growing up in the Coney Island section of Brooklyn N.Y., Kil set out on his journey to be the next big thing in Hip Hop. Kil began as a solo artist quietly establishing his name as some one to be wreckon with, earning the respect of his peers alike. Kil began producing his own music working under the tutelage of his big Bro., songwriter, producer and engineer Don Newkirk (Smoking Heads). Kil also sharpend his skills working with long time engineer Filthy Rich (Yosumi Entertainment). Quickly Establishing himself as a up in coming producer going under the name of (Storm) thru out the five boroughs, Kil hooked up with Mighty Real and Rebel X. They formed the rap alliance called the "Supreme Forces" who featured the likes of Space, Telepathic and the Young Veteran Torae. Working on a Rebel X solo project, Kil and Reb decided to form the New York underground group "The F.E.D.S". The two were a deadly combo releasing several underground hits including the single released on Step In Deep Productions, titled "Drama" featuring Rasheeda. Kil has put in work with several other artist and groups like, I.G.T formerly of loud records, Get Doe Entertainment, Stix (Horror City), Kings Kounty Records, The Plague, and several comilation albums most notably "Game Over" released on Yosumi Records. Credits also include co writing and producing songs on 40 Acres, "Get on The Bus" and "Crooklyn" soundtracks, and most of the production on Torae's "Coney Island Finest" mix tape. After years of producing for several artist and the split of the FEDS, Rip turned his focus back to his solo career and started working on the revolutionary banger "Black Power Black Love" The Buz CD, with production from Kil,Don Newkirk and Valentine of I.G.T. The album became the theme music for the revolutionary Uhuru movement that was taking place in Brooklyn, and Kil's passion grew even more to get his message across. Kil's Stage prowess filled many venues thru out the New York area which made his shows the place to be. Off the success of Black Power Black Love, Kil and his Coney Island bretheren Torae continued to Groom there work together and with the help of then manager (Squirrel) Attic Entertainment, they linked up with up and coming dj Vega Bennenton and his partner Wally Suede and together they formed the Hip Hop Super Group The Coalescence. They released the underground hit "Promises" and the group was nominated for two underground music awards including song of the year. The Co. will be back in the lab soon but until then expect a lot of heat from the Genereal starting with the "Balancing Act" produced by Mikal Evans (Deep Rooted) Raticus and Eric G. The Music is soulful, truthful, spiritual and rebellious. Surely after one listen to Kil Ripkin you will realize very quickly what Hip Hop truly sounds like.
