A founding member of legendary hip-hop crew Group Home, Lil Dap is a
product of the renowned New York mid-nineties "golden age" of hip-hop
that spawned such classic groups as M.O.P., Gang Starr & many more.
Group Home’s widely hailed release, "Living Proof," solidified Dap as a

him touring the world in preparation for his highly anticipated solo
debut.
With “I-A-DAP,” Dap brings the sound pioneered by such groups as Group
Home and Gang Starr (of which Dap also had a hand in forming) full

Starr), Big Noyd & more. Also featuring production by Large Professor and
Alchemist, “I-A-DAP” is Lil Dap’s long awaited solo opus and a

Wu-Tang Clan, GZA has established himself as a perennial force in hip-hop over his 13+ year solo career. Recently, GZA's contributions have driven the phenomenal success of the 2008 Wu-Tang Clan reunion album "8 Diagrams" as well as two of independent hip-hop's recent flagship releases: Think Differently Music: "Wu-Tang Meets The Indie Culture" and the DJ Muggs/GZA collaboration "Grandmasters."
With an entrenched and rabidly loyal fan base, "ProTools" marks the long awaited return of one of hip-hop's most revered and respected emcees.
And just wait until you hear what he has to say!!! The album's first leak track, "Paper Plate," finds GZA going in hard at a Vitamin Water mogul on this ihiphop.com exclusive.
With "Paper Plate," GZA is in top form, a true veteran showcasing the incomparable style that has defined witty battle rap for the greater part of a decade.
Spitting 104 bars of straight heat, GZA cuts the legs out from under the G-Unit impresario, reminding us all how sweet beef on wax really sounds. Using metaphor and lyrical imagery (and without employing a single curse word), GZA gives it to us "burnt & crispy."
True heads stand up...The Genius has finally returned.

"ProTools"
In Stores August 19th, 2008
Having remained viable since being hand-picked in 1995 by one of the greatest musical icons; Tupac Shakur, the Outlawz are perhaps one of the most slept-on groups in the biz.
However, with the launch of their new album, We Want In, throughout the US, UK, Europe, New Zealand & South Africa, we intend to change that with you as an integral part of that awareness.
IMPACTING RADIO NOW - OUTLAWZ "WE WANT IN"
NEW THIS WEEK...
Outlawz "We Want In" (Gold Dust Media) <---------CLICK HERE TO LISTEN!
CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE NEW OUTLAWZ SINGLE
For the past 13 years, The Outlawz have made significant contributions to the urban music genre and have been on the grind for mainstream recognition, to no avail. Nurtured under the wings of the late great 2Pac, The Outlawz are the unsung heroes and underdogs of the Hip-Hop movement.
With an impressive discography that includes features on LPs such as Loyal to The Game, Better Dayz, All Eyez On Me, Makaveli, Novakane, and Still I Rise, this band of street warriors have proven themselves to be one of the most influential rap groups since NWA. Now, Outlawz EDI, Young Noble, and Kastro are slated to release We Want In, on August 5th on 1 Nation Entertainment and Gold Dust Media labels. Dubbed “The Street LP”, We Want In boasts a mix of ghetto gospel that lyrically makes plain their demand for the industry as a whole and the young cats that were both inspired and influenced by the Lawz to make space. The evolution of the Outlawz is apparent and the resilient rappers are ready to stake their rightful claim in the rap game.

KIDS IN THE HALL ON MADDEN 2009
Kidz in the Hall just landed them selves a spot on the soundtrack for the 20th Anniversary Edition of the highest selling video game franchise of all time- Madden NFL 2009!
This year the Madden team "considered 4000+ songs before deciding on the final 26 tracks" - making this an even more impressive feat than in previous years. This year Madden set out to "create a definitive soundtrack that would be a combination of returning classic Madden acts, ass-kicking new bands and some very cool surprises from hip-hop to hardcore and beyond."
The track chosen was none other than "The Blackout" from Kidz latest album "The In Crowd", on Major League/Duck Down Records, and truly demonstrates the rapid-fire lyricism of MC Naledge and masterful bass heavy beats of DJ Double O. This is probably why Steve Steve Schnur, worldwide executive of music and marketing for Electronic Arts, said "we believe that this time next year, Kidz In The Hall will be true Hip-Hop superstars."
Over the years the majority of Madden's music has come from emerging artists. It even helped introduce such hip hop stars as artists like Chamillionaire, Nappy Roots, Lupe Fiasco, Papoose, MURS, Slim Thug, and Swizz Beatz. Now by putting the up-and-coming hip hop artists of today and tomorrow like Kidz in the Hall, Madden is continuing its legacy as "the game that made the music matter." So grab a copy and keep a look out for the hottest track on the game- Kidz in the Hall's "The Blackout"!!!
