This summer, Strange Music's founding artist, Tech N9ne, celebrates the release of his newest album, All 6's And 7's, on June 7 (aka 6/7). With appearances by Snoop Dogg, B.o.B., E-40, Busta Rhymes, Twista, Yelawolf, Stokley (Mint Condition), Chino Moreno & Stephen Carpenter, Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar, T-Pain and Lil Wayne (a collaboration hashed out during a visit Tech paid to Lil Wayne at Riker's Island), All 6's And 7's features star power to commensurate with Tech N9ne's own independent notoriety. The highly anticipated follow-up to Tech N9ne's 2009 album K.O.D., All 6's And 7s shines with production from beat maestros Michael "Seven" Summers, Justice League, Will Power, Youngfyre, Em-80, and Wyshmaster. The track "Worldwide Choppers" (co-starring Yelawolf, Twista, Busta plus an explosive coterie of international MCs) has already gained attention for pushing hip-hop into new territories. See it happen up close on "ALL 6'S AND 7'S - THE TOUR" as Tech N9ne heads out for an incredible total of 82 shows in 85 days. On May 10th, 2011 the opening leg breaks north, as the "Canuck The Industry" Tour bucks Canada with 15 shows in 15 days from Montreal, Quebec to Chilliwack, B. C. Then, on May 26, the domestic campaign kicks off in Seattle as "ALL 6'S AND 7's - THE TOUR" blitzes the U.S.A. for 10 non-stop weeks. Fully fueled with iron-hot hip-hop, "ALL 6'S AND 7'S - THE TOUR" will test the limits of man and machine. Many of Strange Music's own custom fleet of vehicles will be called into service as Strange artists including Jay Rock, Krizz Kaliko, Kutt Calhoun, Big Scoob, along with new signees, Stevie Stone and ¡Mayday!, accompany Tech on the road. Surprise guests on certain tour dates have prime potential, as the roster of features on All 6's And 7's suggests. Underground hip-hop's most iconoclastic star is ready to go supernova in the biggest way. "World Domination, One Venue At A Time" has always been something of an unofficial Strange Music motto. Launched in 2000 from their own pockets as a 50/50 partnership between Tech N9ne and self-made entrepreneur Travis O'Guin, Strange Music has grown into the biggest independent label in hip-hop, with annual revenues exceeding $15 million. The Kansas City-based label has circumvented the traditional hip-hop power structure by taking their music to the people, averaging over 200 tour dates a year. In 2009, Tech performed on the main stage of the Rock The Bells festival, proving his worth alongside well-known names like Busta Rhymes, Nas and Mos Def. With his signature face paint front and center, Tech N9ne will tear through 90-plus minutes of high-octane performance each night, laying claim to the title of the hardest working artist in hip-hop, but it's not enough. As Tech attests: "We will not rest until the whole world knows our story." MUSIC Worldwide Choppers feat.

Flamboyant Entertainment (in conjunction with The Estate of Lamont Coleman) has remastered some of Big Ls most famous freestyles along with rare & unreleased tracks. Featuring Gang Starr, Lord Finesse, D.I.T.C. and more, the end result is The Danger Zone - hitting stores on May 31st. With his untimely death in 1999, Big Ls departure left a void in the hip hop scene that has never been filled. Known for his witty, literary, lyrical style and for being near, but never quite at, the center of commercial success, Big L appeared to be on the verge of a breakthrough in 1999. Mase and Cam'Ron, two of his partners in the early '90s group Children of the Corn, went on to MTV stardom, but Big L's 1995 Columbia debut, Lifestylez Ov Da Poor & Dangerous, earned only limited critical attention. At the time of his death, Big L's independently released single, "Ebonics," was receiving consistent airplay on the indie-centric radio mix shows hosted by WKCR's Bobbito Garcia and WNYU's DJ Eclipse. In July of 2000, his posthumous sophomore full length The Big Picture was released to critical raves and phenomenal sales, propelling the album into going gold. With last years Return of the Devils Son which featured unreleased performances, the thirst for more Big L material has had a second awakening. With The Danger Zone, Flamboyant Entertainment is looking to give the die hards what they have been looking for after 10+ years, so fans can properly complete their Big L collection. The Danger Zone brings the heat. Correctly.

In Gods We Trust, Crush Microphones To Dust, the full length effort by The Undergods is Executive Produced by Erick Sermon (in conjunction with Canibus & Keith) and A&Rd by M-Eighty of Wu-Tang Meets The Indie Culture, The Academy, and 4 HRSMN fame. In addition to appearances by Tech N9ne, Crooked I & Planet Asia, the beats are supplied by Erick Sermon, Jake One and more. With all of these key players lending their skills to this project, In Gods We Trust is a virtual whos-who of the underground. With the first single Undergods Roll produced by Jake One, Canibus & Keith lay out their plan for underground domination on their own terms without even taking a breath for a hook. Coming together several years ago, these titans of the underground formed The Undergods and released an EP on iTunes with the intent on it being a one off side project. But after receiving acclaim from both critics and the fans, Canibus and Murray returned to the studio to turn what was initially a side project, into a full fledged album. The result is 18 tracks of pure fire with a take no prisoners attitude against the industry and the haters. With Canibus being one of the best lyrical freestyle rappers of all time, Canibus truly has few equals when it comes to spitting off the dome. After his first album Can-I-Bus, Canibus followed up releasing 2000 B.C. and C True Hollywood Stories which topped the Billboard 200 chart at #34 and #97 in 2001. Canibus remained staying in the mainstreams rearview having released 10 full length albums (Including last years successful Melatonin Magik) with aggregate sales of 432,000. After 15 plus years, Canibus has placed himself as a cornerstone of the underground. Keith Murray, a legend in his own right, broke into the game nearly 20 years ago and has continued to be a mainstay since. After releasing his debut album in 1994 (which was awarded 4 mics by The Source), Murray joined Erick Sermon and Redman as a member for The Def Squad, best known for their cover of Sugarhill Gangs Rappers Delight. After his release from Def Jam Records, Murray released two successful independent records with Koch Records (now eOne). With appearances by Tech N9ne, Crooked I, Erick Sermon, Planet Asia & Jake One, The Undergods look to fulfill their motto In Gods We Trust, Crush Microphones To Dust.Available May 31st on RBC RecordsFOR MORE INFORMATION:Brett Morrow(818) 843-0100brettmorrow_rbc-records.com <br /> <strong>Page 7</strong><br /> <br /> <h2>E-40 plans "Overnight" & "Graveyard" shifts 3/29</h2><img src="http://static.wix.com/media/b1589fec01cabf7d5f8cf5b38e4004c4.wix_mp_128" alt="overtime cover" />VALLEJO, CA (FEBRUARY 22, 2011) Over 5 million records sold, nationwide sold out shows, loved and respected by both seasoned rap veterans such as Snoop Dogg to entry level giants such as YG; without question E-40 continues to reign supreme. .

The domino-effect of that album inspired major record label Jive Records to sign E-40 where they soon introduced his first solo effort In A Major Way. During the course of the multi-album deal, he produced three gold albums and one platinum album while on Jive Records. Then In 2005, the music macgyver partnered with the everlasting King of Crunk aka Lil Jon and signed with Warner Brothers/BME .

A swift two years later, he released his last album on Warner Brothers entitled the Ball Street Journal. With proven successes while absorbing a wealth of knowledge over the years, E-40 simultaneously motivated his immediate offspring.In 2010 he surpassed a new benchmark when he signed to Heavy On The Grind owned by his first son also Artist/Producer Droop-E.

Including features from artists such as Big K.R.I.T. and Freddie Gibbs, Oneirology is titled after the study of dreams and is aiming to pick up where their last studio album, Dirty Acres, left off -- providing hip-hop fans with a dense, complete "Album Of The Year" contender and building on their wildly successful independent career.Since the groups inception, Deacon The Villain, Kno and Natti have eschewed categories, boxes and labels for 8 years, 4 albums and 4 official mixtapes -- all while having what XXL Magazine described as the Most Hated Name In Rap. The result? If you want to use labels and genres -- Southern boom-bap is what one might conjure up. Too white for BET, too black for MTV2. A preachers son from Kentucky, a Caucasian guy from rural Georgia and a convicted felon. But mainly -- a self-made career, one of the most consistent catalogs of any current hip-hop act and one of the most loyal and internationally diverse fan bases in all of indie rap music.Their critically acclaimed debut LP, Will Rap For Food, was released in October 2001. They released their 2nd LP, Southernunderground, independently on April 1, 2003 on Freshchest Records. Their third and most well-reviewed LP, A Piece of was Strange, was released in January of 2006 via LAU Records and featured Cee-Lo Green and Immortal Technique. CunninLynguists most recent LP, Dirty Acres, was released in November 2007 via Bad Taste Records and featured Devin The Dude and Phonte Coleman of Little Brother.Believing that success comes to those who work for it, the group has toured across the globe appearing on stages alongside acts such as Kanye West, Cee-Lo Green, Raekwon of Wu-Tang Clan, Bun B, Nappy Roots, Brand Nubian and more. They have headlined tours that spanned weeks and continents and played some of the largest international festivals in the world -- all while building a reputation for having one of the best live shows in hip-hop music. CunninLynguists have consistently given their fans music that resonates with them for nearly ten years. That is the main reason that the group's following hasnt diminished in a time where rap acts can often find themselves going from MTV to the unemployment office in a matter of weeks. Oneirology will prove to be another testament to the fact that in 2011 all people want is quality music -- and that CunninLynguists know how to deliver.<br /> <strong>Page 1</strong><br /> <br /> <h2>LAYZIE BONE TO RELEASE TWO ALBUMS ON 2/22</h2><img src="http://static.wix.com/media/256bd3e4cfd5a7838a2788a28830f15a.wix_mp_128" alt="definition_cover" /><img src="http://static.wix.com/media/e346aeac45f659b715675b726854a2ac.wix_mp_128" alt="meaning_cover" />FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:After selling over 25 million records and touring the entire world countless times, any artist’s career would be instantly defined by those accomplishments. In a culture where the motto “Men Lie, Women Lie, Numbers Don’t” gives certain validity to those seeking such, the practice of letting art define the culture has unfortunately subsided. Even with those accomplishments in his back pocket, Layzie Bone (the founding member of the legendary group Bone Thugs-N-Harmony) plans to release not one, but TWO ALBUMS on February 22nd, titled “The Definiton” and “The Meaning”, in order to finally define himself, his career and his culture.With the initial street video “If I Can’t Do It” making its rounds, Layzie plans the follow it up with “Hear’em Knockin”, joined by his Bone Thugs group members, Krayzie Bone & Flesh-n-Bone as the first official single. With an attitude of their back up against the wall, each Bone member promises to go hard and never stop doing what they do best. Additionally, the Bow Wow assisted track “Every Night”, is slated to drop as the second single in the weeks leading up to the projects release date. With additional features from Paul Wall, Chamillionare, Too $hort, Ya Boy, Baby Bash and more, The Definition and The Meaning prove to be one of the most ambitious Bone projects to date. Having long plugged the independent label “Mo Thugs Records”, Layzie Bone eventually released his first solo album in 2001, titled “Thug By Nature”. After following it up with “It’s Not A Game” in 2005, Layzie then recorded several collaborative albums with Young Noble from the Outlawz, A.K. from Do or Die and the street acclaimed Bone Brothers albums with fellow group member Bizzy Bone.Founded in the early 90’s, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony has sold close to 30 million records and was awarded the Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance with their song "Tha Crossroads" from their E 1999 Eternal album. After several years of different lineups, the entire group (Krayzie, Layzie, Bizzy, Wish & Flesh) reunited for Uni-5: The World’s Enemy in 2010, re-solidifying their spot has one of the greatest collectives in Hip Hop.<br /> <strong>Page 5</strong><br /> <br /> <h2>Tech N9ne's Strange Music signs Jay Rock!</h2><img src="http://static.wix.com/media/e4837a952b4c250357a5257b7547299d.wix_mp_128" alt="jayrock" />Independent rap powerhouse Tech N9ne and his Strange Music cohorts have been scouring the country in search of tomorrow’s next big rap star… and they just found what they’ve been looking for. The Kansas City-based label just teamed up with Top Dawg Entertainment and Watts, California’s biggest hero JAY ROCK for a multi-record deal. “The opportunity to be a part of bringing the next wave of West Coast Hip Hop to the forefront is exciting to me,” says Strange Music CEO, Travis O’guin. “I immersed myself in that music growing up and it is definitely a part of who I am. I feel like Jay Rock is one of the artists really reviving that West Coast scene and I’m ecstatic that he, along with Top Dawg Entertainment are a part of the Strange Music family.”Top Dawg Entertainment’s CEO, Dude Dawg, had this to say about the deal, “As a label, Strange has more to offer than most majors out there. Together, Strange and TDE joining forces will mean the best of both worlds for Jay Rock and other artists to come. With their top-to-bottom label machine and our street expertise, there’s no stopping us.”JAY ROCK and TDE recently flew out to Strange’s Kansas City headquarters to seal the deal and XXL Magazine was on hand to capture all of the events of this historical day (link below). The highly respected Hip Hop magazine has been following JAY ROCK’s career closely. The “new breed of hustler” was featured on XXL’s April 2010 cover showcasing its list of the Freshman Class of 2010. Other media outlets have also taken note of JAY ROCK’S undeniable talent: MTV named JAY ROCK one of its Hottest Breakthrough MCs Of 2010. JAY ROCK says of his new venture, “Man, I'm excited about this. Tech and Strange approached us once I became a free agent and we went to KC to see first-hand what we had been missing and saw why they're the #1 independent rap label. The word had spread about me leaving Warner Bros. and I was getting offers left & right from majors wanting to sign me, but in the end, Dude Dawg and I had no doubts that Strange had the perfect situation for us."And JAY ROCK is no stranger to Strange Music. On Sept. 15, he hit the road on “TECH N9NE’s Independent Grind Tour 2010” featuring some of the biggest names in independent Hip Hop, including E-40, Cash Money’s Glasses Malone and Strange Music cohorts Krizz Kaliko, Kutt Calhoun and Big Scoob. The tour will last six weeks and consists of 44 shows in 46 days.JAY ROCK also appeared on Tech N9ne’s latest collabos album, The Gates Mixed Plate, and will cameo, along with the rest of the tour players, on Tech N9ne’s upcoming mixtape with DJ Whoo Kid that hits streets later this fall.For the past five years, JAY ROCK and Top Dawg Entertainment have been holding Cali Hip Hop down. With his fellow label mates Kendrick Lamar, Ab-Soul and Schoolboy Q, the foursome represent the Black Hippy Movement, and have been hailed as a modern-day version of N.W.A. meets the Pharcyde.JAY ROCK’s Strange Music full-length debut, Follow Me Home will feature appearances and production by a who’s who of hip-hop’s elite and is due sometime next Spring. "I was hyped when I got the news that Jay Rock and TDE decided to go with Strange instead of any of the other many labels that were tugging at them.” Says Tech N9ne. “I knew that Jay Rock, being the hardcore artist that he is would add another wonderful dimension to our Strange roster.

An acroynm for "King of Darkness," it's little surprise that the independent Rap titan deemed that collection of songs his darkest, and some of his most personal. This week, via his blog, TheRealTechN9ne.com, the veteran talent revealed that he may have some supplementary material from those sessions available to fans in the form of an EP called Seepage.Explaining that he was recently overseas alongside his artist Kutt Kalhoun when both emcees received tragic news about loved ones, Tech wrote, "I went to my iPod to escape sadness. While going [through] my playlist, I stumbled upon [five] paid for but unused beats from the K.O.D. collection. As much as I wanted to run from them, Seepage was born. To all the people that interview me, I would rather not talk about Seepage simply because I told fans on the Lost Scripts that those would be the last of K.O.D. I thought I could stay clear of K.O.D. but found out there’s no way out totally. So until I can figure out how to balance this thing I’d rather not speak on it due my lack of understanding." The aforementioned Lost Scripts released in March of this year.Tech N9ne's blog is taking pre-orders on the Seepage EP. (September 28)UPDATE: The EP has the following tracklisting, featuring Strange Music artists Krizz Kaliko and Big Scoob:1.Choking From It (Intro)2.Seepage (feat. Tonesha Sanders)3.Asshole (feat.

While most rap heads are familiar with B.G. from his Cash Money Records days (Selling over 26.5 Million records) as part of the original Hot Boys, he is one of the few from the camp that has been able to stand on his own. He is known as an originator of Bling-Bling and the grimy New Orleans group The Hot Boys. With a nasty laid-back flow, a thick accent anda shoot em up bang bang rhyme style, its no wonder he is affiliated with the largest names in hip-hop today from T.I. to Lil Wayne. Fresh off the release of his Atlantic/Grand Hustle release Too Hood 2 Be Hollywood, B.G. experienced a resurgence with his single My Hood featuring Mannie Fresh garnering over 2,500 spins nationally. All the while, B.G. has been working on a documentary about his hometown of New Orleans post-Hurricane Katrina that will soon be released. With an illegal carrying of weapons charge looming over his head, B.G. continues to grind daily with that never say die attitude that he has adopted in the past.
