| Bandcamp.mu is pretty awesome! Posted: 12 Feb 2009 01:04 PM PST Bandcamp Screencast from Ethan Diamond on Vimeo. Bandcamp isn't Yet Another Place to Put Your Music. Rather, we power a site that's yours. So instead of ads for Sexy Singles Chat, your fans see your design, your music, your URL. You retain all ownership rights, and we just hang out in the background handling the tech stuff. Choice. We offer your tracks in mp3, AAC, FLAC, Ogg...all the formats your überfans demand. Choose between giving away your music, setting a price, letting folks name their price – it's up to you. Viral distribution. We give your fans drop-dead easy tools to share your music with their friends, and most importantly we do it in a way that drives traffic back to you. We also give you complete transparency into how your music is spreading, with... The motherflippin' stats party. We show you where your fans are coming from, what they're listening to, even which tracks they're obsessed with versus which ones they're skipping over. And we make it real purdy, too. Your fifth (very nerdy) Beatle. We provide fast, dependable streaming and downloads of your catalog, adorn your tracks with all the metadata they need to sail into iTunes with artwork, track names, and so on intact, and mutter the various incantations necessary to get your site top-ranked in Google. All things we know you could do, but we suspect you'd rather focus on your music. Well, think of us as your invisible bandmate who loves that other stuff. And we won't even ask to play tambourine. |

| Tanya Morgan To Be Honored At Brooklynati Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony Posted: 12 Feb 2009 10:29 AM PST  (February 12, 2009 - Brooklyn, NY) - Bay Area-based record label Interdependent Media announced that they will release the multi-media project Brooklynati by rap group Tanya Morgan on May 12th. Highlighting the creativity and throwback sounds of the emcee trio Tanya Morgan, Brooklynati is an album, a place, and a state of mind. With Tanya Morgan providing the soundtrack, the Brooklynati project invites fans to become part of the virtual city of Brooklynati and one of the most involved and intricate marketing campaigns ever created for a hip-hop release. Hot off the success of their critically acclaimed debut album Moonlighting which received nods from ?uestlove, The Source and XXL, Tanya Morgan is stepping out of hip-hop's shadow and moving to Brooklynati. Are you coming?Miles away from the watered-down hype of auto-tune, the glam of Hollywood, big bank accounts, and even larger cars lays the virtual city of Brooklynati. Brooklynati, is Anytown, USA; a place where small record shops struggle to stay alive, local corner stores become impromptu gathering spots, and people enjoy city parks, attractions and performance venues regularly. Providing the soundtrack to our daily encounters, this album gives everyday people a chance to discover the things they have in common with the three members of Tanya Morgan; Ilyas, Donwill, and Von Pea. Discussing his move to Brooklynati, Donwill from Tanya Morgan says, "Brooklynati is the most real place I know". As part of the Brooklynati experience, fans will have the opportunity to explore the city of Brooklynati through a virtual metropolis outfitted with an extensive website, video newscasts, a zoo, mayor's office, and even a fledgling mom and pop record store. Fans will have a chance to "move" to Brooklynati, become part of the vibrant city, get their very own Brooklynati driver's license, and order Chinese from their favorite takeout spot. The multi-faceted multimedia campaign driving the Brooklynati experience will feature a plethora of innovative limited edition merchandise including New Era Brooklynati caps, one-of-a-kind MUNNY collectibles from THIS SIDE UP DESIGNS, Brooklynati Public Library cards which will entitle its holders to access the Library Systems files, Tanya Morgan paper toys, and city destination relics featuring the most popular spots in Brooklynati. The unveiling of the Brooklynati project will also include album release parties in 5 major cities at premiere venues. In 2003, Brooklyn resident Von Pea teamed up with Cincinnati's Donwill and Ilyas to form Tanya Morgan. Three years later, the group's Moonlighting LP took the rap world by storm, receiving a 3.5 mic rating from The Source and high praise in XXL's Chairman's Choice column. Donwill describes the group's uniqueness and appeal: "Instead of jam-packing our releases with different producers and guest emcees for attention, we carefully choose who we work with because we make it a priority to cultivate our own sound and identity. We look to groups like Eric B and Rakim, who honed their own sound and rarely collaborated with other artists." After touring the US more than a few times following their debut release, the crew came back in 2008 with release of their mixtape Tanya Morgan is a Rap Group and their EP The Bridge. Brooklynati will be released via Interdependent Media on May 12, 2009. The Bridge EP Review - by Les-tor Manchestor - Click Here Listen to Tanya Morgan: "How Low" "Hip-Hop Is Dead 2" "Be You" featuring Czelena Critical Praise for Tanya Morgan: "The trio's latest, the savory The Bridge EP, demonstrates why Tanya Morgan has been a critical favorite for the last several years. Their deliveries are effortless, their beats run the gamut from smooth to boom-bappy, and their music has an inspiring vibe." - The Source "Never mind the name — Tanya Morgan is a hip-hop trio with an affinity for soul breaks, big beats and complex, conscious lyrics."" - RollingStone.com "their newest project, the highly anticipated The Bridge, is garnering them more buzz than a U.S. soldier's haircut." - XXLMag.com "With all due respect to Talib and Hi-Tek, I'm actually more inclined to revisit team Tanya's likeably loose, bordering-on-sloppy inaugural effort than said ballyhooed backpack-crowd classic." - XXL - Chariman's Choice |

| iCON Calls Joe Budden To The Starting Line Posted: 12 Feb 2009 10:03 AM PST iCON the Mic King officially challenged fellow rapper Joe Budden to a foot race after hearing of Budden's recent victory over rapper Joel Ortiz. iCON is the heavy favorite in the event after beating fellow rapper and former collegiate track star PackFM in a similar race while training to run a half-marathon benefiting the Crohns and Colitis Foundation of America. iCON recently completed this run in Miami in late January with great success, finishing the 13.1 miles in a blistering 2' 22". Now, he has personally challenged Joe Budden to a foot race, one on one, man to man, emcee vs. emcee. In the challenge video iCON appears very confident, sipping his wine and talking smack. iCON had this to say to Budden: "I'm telling you right now, I'm challenging you right now, me and you are gunna do a hundred meter dash and I'ma body you!...if you smoke like crazy, I will smoke you like crazy..." When asked how he felt the he did in the half-marathon, iCON said that aside from the time he put up, he was also very pleased with the money he raised for the CCFA. The CCFA was equally pleased with his efforts, meeting with iCON after the run to discuss plans for him to become the official hip-hop spokesman for the foundation and scheduling him to perform at a CCFA event in June. iCON's next album, entitled Cool Aide, will be released late Spring. The official album will be preceded with a free mixtape, Flavor Ade, to be released in the next month. Flavor Ade will also feature an appearance from guest artist Elzhi. A true visionary, iCON is one of few hip-hop artists to not only engage in a physically demanding fundraising activity but who will also match 100% of the donations made on his behalf for an entire year to this cause.
