DEATH OF AUTOTUNE

LISTEN IN TO 80.5FM - 805RADIO.COM TO HEAR THIS BRAND NEW TRACK- CLICK HERE

READ INFO BELOW:

When Kanye West said there would be no Auto-Tune on Jay-Z's upcoming Blueprint 3, he meant it emphatically: The first single off Jigga's third Blueprint, fittingly called "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)," debuted June 5th on New York hip-hop station Hot 97. The No I.D.-produced song, which samples heavily Janko Nilovic and Dave Sucky's "In the Space," takes aim at the ringtone-happy state of rap while also calling for a cease-and-desist to all artists using the voice manipulating Auto-Tune. Ironically enough, Kanye himself is one of the most notorious users of the technology, as evidenced by his 808s & Heartbreak.

The premiere of "D.O.A." was the culmination of weeks of rumors surrounding Jay-Z, as the rapper was reportedly considering record label suitors to distribute his Blueprint 3 after buying out his Island Def Jam contract. While there's been no confirmation, Jay-Z - who was seeking a distributor for both TB3 and the output released through his Roc Nation label with Live Nation - will distribute 3 through Atlantic Records, while his Roc Nation artists will be distributed through a deal with Sony Music, MTV reports. The Blueprint 3 will reportedly be released on September 11th, exactly eight years after the original Blueprint hit stores.
Last night at Hot 97's Summer Jam all-star concert in East Rutherford, New Jersey, Jay-Z made a surprise appearance to perform "D.O.A." with T-Pain, another producer and artist who has had a hand in Auto-Tune's return to prominence. As Jigga says in "D.O.A.," "You rappers singing too much, Get back to rap, you T-Pain-ing too much." Check Nah Right for video of Jay's "D.O.A." at Summer Jam.

TWISTA
ES OFFICIAL STATEMENT

PLATINUM RAPPER TWISTA ADDRESSES MEDIATAKEOUT.COM RUMORS

(NEW YORK, NY – May 18, 2009) — On May 13th, 2009 the blog site, Mediatakeout.com made incorrect speculations and originated the rumor that Platinum selling recording artist, Twista and adult film star Pinky were sexually intimate and expecting a child.  These accusations are 100% FALSE and UNTRUE.  Twista notes, “I want to inform everyone that not only is Pinky NOT PREGNANT by me but I’ve never had any type of sexual encounters with her.  I ain’t mad at her but thanks for promoting my new album, Category F5 which will be out in July”.

Twista cherishes his family and close friends and doesn’t want false stories like these to harm his loved ones.  Respectfully he says, “I have the best fans ever and I ask that you respect them and my loved ones”.  As he gears up for the release of “Category F5,” Twista notes, “The hustle never stops. Over the last couple of years, I’ve just been thinking about what the fans want from me. And that was motivation enough to bring out another classic album.”

GROUP HOME’S LIL DAP ANNOUNCES HIS LONG AWAITED DEBUT, “I-A-DAP,”
STREETING AUGUST 5th ON BABYGRANDE RECORDS

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
frontrunner of this widely renowned and respected era and has since seen
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
circle, with a little help from such contemporaries as Guru (of Gang
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
reinvigoration of the classic "golden age" sound that both defined and
continues to influence an entire generation of emcees.

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.

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.
