| Latest News: Rapper N E Means Releases Debut Single 'Lucky Tonight' |
|
 Washington DC artist N E Means celebrates the release of his debut single "Lucky Tonight". The up-tempo song is dedicated to the Wilson Family, the likes of Lowell Fulson, Ronnie Wilson, Robert Wilson and Charlie Wilson. The song pays tribute to the legendary family. The Wilson family has been established in the music industry for 70 years. The Wilson Brothers aka The Gap Band: Charlie, Ronnie, and Robert Wilson have been performing together since the late 60's, and have received or been nominated for numerous awards and is considered by industry standards as a multi-platinum group from Oklahoma.
By either collaborating with legendary hip hop artists, composing and performing advertisements for multi-million dollar companies or dazzling the masses on stage, N E Means carries a thorough and accomplished resume of song making and performance. With a deep and powerful voice as the driving force behind all of his songs, N E Means is also a master at developing electrifying and melodic choruses. Although early in his career, he has also served as a mentor to an arsenal of vocalists from all over the country, writing their lyrics and guiding them through the production process.
With musical influences such as LL COOL J, Heavy D, Jay Z, Kanye West and Timbaland, it is easy to see his musical appeal. And while being aired on soundscan rated stations, and published in nationally pressed magazines, N E Means is only just gaining the attention that he deserves. His diverse experiences provide the perfect balance between commercial sound and lyrical content. And with a sleek & dapper look he brings a flavourful dimension into hip hop reminiscent of early LL Cool J and Biggie Smalls (Christopher Wallace). He writes, produces and performs the vast majority of all of his music and always holds himself and his art form to the highest standards of sound quality and innovation.
With a determined focus and unstoppable work ethic, N E Means has a very promising future in this industry

| Latest News: Warren G Readies Sixth Studio Album With 2 Street Singles |
|
 West coast rapper Warren G is close to finishing his much-anticipated sixth studio outing, The G Files.
The album is still a work in progress however, two new street singles are now in circulation. The classic G-Funk anthem, 'Mr. DJ,' is already receiving good reviews online, and the brand new, infectious 'Gigolo's Get Lonely 2,' both expected to be given airplay in the near future. The G Files, Warren's first album in four years, will feature appearances from Nate Dogg, Bishop Lamont, Ice Cube, Paul Wall, and Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker. The first official single is due to be released soon, called 'Swagga Rich' featuring Snoop Dogg. The Long Beach bred, Grammy Award-nominated, music producer/rapper grew up listening to jazz, soul and funk records, and hanging out at the local V.I.P. record store in Long Beach. He soon pioneered a sound that would take rap to a new plateau. In 1994 G-Funk became a worldwide phenomenon, as the most musical and enduring strain of gangsta rap. Warren G exploded onto the scene in 1994 with the single 'Regulate,' a duet with long-time friend Nate Dogg. It's accompanying album, Regulate...G Funk Era went triple platinum and peaked at #2 on the Billboard charts. A slew of hit records, and global sell-out tours would follow, and in 2004 saw the reunion of childhood friends, and superstar trio, 213 (Snoop Dogg, Warren G & Nate Dogg), with their album The Hard Way, achieving platinum status.
