tj’s dj’s tastemakers xclusives disc 1<br />
1. Rich Boy / Throw Some Dees – Interscope<br />
Contact: Rosalie – 310.865.7929<br />
On this track you can tell that Rich Boy is steady smirking ‘cause<br />
his flow is dangerous. What’s more, like Indego Montoya, he knows<br />
something that you don’t - he’s not even right handed. His natural<br />
talent is production rather than rapping.<br />
2. Rick Ross / Push It - Slip-N-Slide/Def Jam<br />
Contact: Eclass@nextel.blackberry.net<br />
“Push It” features an interpolation from one of the greatest montage<br />
records made famous by Scarface the movie and South Park. Rick<br />
Ross’ Miami gangsta tales are so boss that they would make Crockett<br />
& Tubbs look silly.<br />
3. David Banner ft. Yola / Get Money – b.i.G.f.a.c.e./SRC<br />
Contact: Willie Nash – 601.238.5658<br />
David Banner cleverly samples Yola’s “Ain’t Gonna Let Up” and<br />
proves that he’s ahead of his time as the rest of the world has yet to<br />
discover what Yola has to offer. Scroll down to track 9 and you’ll see<br />
why Banner decided to run with this lil monster.<br />
4. Trick Daddy / I Pop – Slip-N-Slide/Atlantic<br />
Contact: Sam Crespo – sam.crespo@atlanticrecords.com<br />
Trick Daddy’s got another notch for the catalog. This record is funky<br />
and shows Trick on a different level. Plus Trick continues to spit<br />
thought provoking word play when he explains why “$100 bills smell<br />
like pubic hairs.”<br />
5. BHI / Dat Bubble Gum – BME<br />
Contact: Sabrina Montgomery – 404.367.8130<br />
Just when you thought snap music was through, BHI will have the<br />
genre sticking around like “Bubble Gum” with this juicy record.<br />
6. Young Dro / Rubberband Banks – Grand Hustle/Atlantic<br />
Contact: Sam Crespo – sam.crespo@atlanticrecords.com<br />
Young Dro takes a break from making his shoulder lean to show that<br />
that record has set him up rather lovely. In other words his rubberbands<br />
have expanded like his bank account.<br />
7. Bohagon ft. Crime Mob & Fabo / Wuz Up – BME<br />
Contact: Sabrina Montgomery – 404.367.8130<br />
Bohagon, the B-M-E- representa, strikes a strong blow for those who<br />
are interested in having their bass bins blown up by an MC that will<br />
make your cones snap to the music. Plus, with Crime Mob checking<br />
in on the track shaking their dreads, the track is elevated to another<br />
club banging dimension. And that’s wuz up!<br />
8. Young Buck ft. 50 Cent / Do It Myself – G-Unit/Interscope<br />
Contact: Rosalie – 310.592.2121<br />
The theme of the record is really simple. When you need to make<br />
improvements on how you live, like Home Depot you should do it<br />
yourself and G-Unit with 50 Cent can help. In fact, 50 lets a few bullets<br />
off of his chest by drawing a retaliatorial line in the sand.<br />
9. Yola / Ain’t Gonna Let Up – Grand Hustle/Atlantic<br />
Contact: Sam Crespo – sam.crespo@atlanticrecords.com<br />
At first listen, the Caribbean steal drums in the production lead to a<br />
laid back vibe until Yola gets on the track and crushes all haters in<br />
the way. Straight up, Yola is a monster in training. By the way, watch<br />
out for T.I. - the executive. Quiet though.<br />
10. Young Capone / Wat It Iz – So So Def/Virgin<br />
Contact: Tikke Chaney – 212.786.8215<br />
This is a Nitty beat that Young Capone takes full advantage of. Young<br />
Capone is a nice addition to the So So Def/Virgin stable. He’s been in<br />
the minor leagues getting his weight up and from the sound of this<br />
record; it is time for him to be called up to the majors.<br />
11. Magic ft. Detroit / Shorty – BHE/TVT<br />
Contact: TVT – 212.979.6410<br />
Magic knows that shorties love a gangsta. And Magic is more than<br />
eager to deliver yet another quality tune that the people want. Be on<br />
the lookout for Magic, he is on another level since his rise from the<br />
ashes of New Orleans.<br />
12. Obie Trice / Jamaican Girl – Interscope<br />
Contact: Rosalie – 310.592.2121<br />
Taking the lead from Eminem the producer on a carefully crafted<br />
island tune, Obie Trice demonstrates that he is not afraid of change.<br />
And in fact, flows well on the oceans of this tropical melody.<br />
13. Chyna Whyte ft. Gangsta Boo & DJ Demp / Drop A Bundle<br />
– BME<br />
Contact: Sabrina Montgomery – 404.367.8130<br />
Finally, China White has come back to whup tracks and beat bass<br />
with a gangsta style unmatched by any other MC. She has recruited<br />
Gangsta Boo and DJ Demp, the shorty pimp to accentuate an already<br />
club crunching record soon to break needles across the South.<br />
14. Jibbs / Chain Hang Low – Geffen<br />
Contact: Rosalie – 310.592.2121<br />
Jibbs perfectly translates a children’s nursery rhyme into a tune that<br />
celebrates opulence. If the thought rolls eyes, keep an open mind,<br />
remember there were many people who felt Nelly could never sell a<br />
record with a nursery rhyme, and he turned out alright.<br />
15. Daz ft. Kurupt / Daz Thang – So So Def/Virgin<br />
Contact: Tikke Chaney - 212.786.8215<br />
Daz reached back to his roots with a jam just short of “7 Minutes of<br />
Funk” and he brought The Whole Darn Family by reuniting with the<br />
OG DPG Kurupt. Jermaine Dupri is in a great zone right now and<br />
continues the trend with another hot one. Oh, and the XXX rated<br />
video of this tune is a great way to have your break today.<br />
16. M.O.S. / Drug Related – Jive<br />
Contact: Chad Brown – jivemixshow@gmail.com<br />
On “Drug Related,” M.O.S. speaks of life in the land of Carolina<br />
blue where life wasn’t guaranteed. It’s not the life that’s celebrated,<br />
M.O.S. is happy he made it and with tracks this good, I’m sure Jive is<br />
too.<br />
17. Young Hot Rod ft. Mary J. Blige / Be Easy - Interscope<br />
Contact: Rosalie – 310.592.2121<br />
Anytime the Queen blesses a track a certain polish remains leaving<br />
the listener with the understanding of what makes soul music feel<br />
so good. Young Hot Rod is old enough to know when a blessing is<br />
bestowed upon him and crafts a record worthy of royalty.<br />
18. Plies / Take Off – Slip-N-Slide/Atlantic<br />
Contact: Sam Crespo – sam.crespo@atlanticrecords.com<br />
For the record, Plies is not the future of Slip-N-Slide, he’s the right<br />
now. And if you come up shorting Plies, you better take off cuz he<br />
has no problems seeing you about it - he’s got lots of bond money<br />
behind him.<br />
19. Trillville ft. Kandi & Cutty Cartel / Eat It Up – BME<br />
Contact: Sabrina Montgomery – 404.367.8130<br />
Trillville has teamed up with everyone’s favorite multi-platinum<br />
flavored Kandi to make a track that tastes so good, you have to “Eat<br />
It Up.” Be prepared to dance off the pounds because a joint that tastes<br />
this good can’t be good for your health.<br />
20. Lyfe Jennings ft. Lala Brown / S.E.X. – Sony/Columbia<br />
Contact: Cara Lewis – 212.903.1316<br />
One word: wow! This is the definition of a great record that is sure to<br />
boost the population 9 months from its release.<br />
