Tycoon Dynasty Entertainment announced the release of "So Faded," the debut single from rapper Face Black Rose. "So Faded" is the first track to be released from his upcoming EP "The Year Of The Rose".
A native New Yorker, Face Black Rose has an opinion about his music as well, "When my mother died, I had a lot of anger in me, and it scared me to a point where I knew I had to channel it in some way. Music helped me do that. That's why I feel people can relate to me – because just like all the greats – Sam Cook, Matilda Jackson, Biggie, 2Pac, Jay Z, and 50 cents – I put my heart on the line with my music. There is passion in every note I sing and every verse I rap."
Although his debut single is just being released, Face Black Rose is not new to the music scene. Performing for the last two years, he has worked with music industry veterans Ja Rule, News, Producer Boodah Monk, and Havoc from the Infamous Mobb Deep.
"So Faded" is now available for purchase. The 10 track EP, "The Year of the Rose" is expected to debut around Spring of 2010 on the independent label Tycoon Dynasty Records.

Upcoming Talent REGA Has The Music Industry In A Wrap
“The night was a big success and every detail was thought through meticulously,” says Richard. “To know that [REGA] did everything himself is impressive.” Not only was REGA the artist, performer and event planner, he was also the costume designer and producer of the music video alongside director, Robert Bartolome of RAB Studios. “He has an incredible passion for everything he does,” said Bartolome, “not just with his music, but with every single aspect of his career, and that’s a rare thing.”
According to REGA, Wrap MC’s is a conceptual curveball thrown at the music industry that depicts [his] efforts to unwrap the prepackaged ‘Hip-Pop’ and ‘One Hit Wonder’ reality that exists in the music industry today, as well as challenge the creativity of fellow artists to bring back the era of substantial, meaningful and conceptual music. Through his fervor, REGA aspires to become a credible and well-established force in the music and entertainment industry.

Miami, FL, August 20, 2009 -- There's a saying in Florida that this is the season of the Zoe's. The Zoe's being people of Haitian decent and Southwest Florida's own Sho Zoe has been recognized for his strong grassroots movement in southwest Florida. Sho Zoe is up for not one but two major awards at the upcoming Underground Music Awards. "Just being nominated is a honor for me" explained Sho Zoe but Southwest Florida is anticipating a win for Sho Zoe in the categories of #1 Contender of the Year" and/or "Best Southern Rapper of the Year". Artist such as Saigon, Remy Ma, Styles P, Mims, Papoose, Joell Ortiz, Maino & more are all former Underground Music Award winners.

Sho Zoe is currently celebrating the success of his "One in a Million" single produced by Core DJ/105.5 The Beat DJ Quest (http://is.gd/2qEI8). The single featuring Nav is currently receiving major club and radio spins in the Naples, FT. Myers area.

Growing up in Gainesville and South Dallas, TX, Budha echoes the life he's experienced in his music. Budha says "I am a universal artist; I'm comfortable in many suits. I can go from down south crunk to conscious songs." This is apparent on the album, from the hard-beats and lyrics of "P*L*A*Y AH" to the smooth R&B realisms of life, in the hit single "Come Around".
After being introduced to Hip Hop fans on; "We Right Hea" of the album MVP'Z Most Valuable Playaz 2000, "Yee" featuring Too Short and Budha produced Lil Jon on E-40's album "Ghetto Report Card" and then Budha's song "Real Talk" (now known as "Party") on "Sick Wid It Umbrella", produced by Droop-E. The time has come for Budha to release the much anticipated "Intro to Budha". "Intro to Budha" features rap legend Bun B of UGK in "Put It Down" and the ever so popular Paul Wall featured in "Drop It".
Budha chose an indie label for the release of his debut album. He feels that an indie label would allow him to control the message that best portrays him. There are rumblings that Budha is the next sensation in the rap world as evident by his song writing ability and collaborations in the music industry.
You can also check-out Budha with Big Daddy Kane, Bonecrusher and E 40 in the indie film "Deadly Heist" as the character Mac Henry.
Available at Best Buy, FYE, Sam Goody, iTunes, Amazon, Rhapsody, Shock Hound, emusic, LaLa and more.
There seems to be a lot of talk within the industry over "Russell Young" right now as we speak. Through industry resources we have heard rumors that there may be some strong interest from "Jay -Z's" label "Roc Nation" but this has only been rumored, nothing confirmed.
"Russell Young" was nearly unknown 3 months ago and probably is still unknown to millions of people even now. In May 2009 him and his manager "Big O Lewis" decided to drop "Russell Young's" first single "My Life" independently and distribute it to radio, and internet through there own indie label imprint "FAM 1st Music Group LLC". Immediately after they dropped his first single "My Life" off of "Russell Young's" upcoming album "FINALLY" due to drop early 2010, the single started gaining extreme amounts of attention from notable review sites, internet radio, college radio, satellite radio, and to there suprise major radio stations around the country and overseas. In July 2009 "Russell Young's" single "My Life" cracked the "Top 40 Rap Music Charts" which is extremely hard for an underground indie rap artist to do now, especially with no major label backing his project, but he did it!
Staying on his full time grind "Russell Young" has just released his second single "NO GOOD" which is a radio and d.j. favorite right now across the country and overseas. Just in 2 days his single "NO GOOD" has been downloaded "457,377 times" which is really beefing up his interest rate from many industry reps!! Even though "Russell Young" is lyrical by all circumstances he is not a "back pack rapper" by no means. In a lot of fans eyes he is mainstream but not "bubble gum mainstream" ya feel me? His new single "NO GOOD" is a very fun and catchy track produced by "New Jersey" native and super producer "Kafanoe". When I first heard the single I could have sworn it was a "DR. DRE BEAT" and you will too once you take a listen to it! The song "NO GOOD" is basically about being single, and dating, with no hopes of settling down with just one woman which makes many men, according to women, "NO GOOD".
Because of the internet, it is no longer impossible for unsigned indie artist to create a huge buzz and gain huge amounts of attention.
"Russell Young" has taken advantage of this very concept by creating his own internet marketing plan and distributing his music himself. Instead of sitting back and waiting for labels to go to his myspace page or promoters asking him to come and perform at there concerts, bars, colleges, or clubs, he has taken everything in his own hands by choosing to be in attack mode instead. You know the old saying, "You only get what you put in", and that's exactly what is happening in "Russell Young's" case. We always wonder why less talented artist always seem to get the major deals, and more publicity than the talented artists who seem to think, just because they think they are great, that they don't have to do anything but put there music on myspace and the industry will find them. All artist whether you are talented or wack need to develop a marketing plan that will spread your name and your music all over the internet, because remember your name is your brand. For instance, the name "Russell Young" has been all over the internet and every website you go to you see the name "Russell Young". If i constantly see or hear that name everywhere I go than eventually I am going to google this guy up and go check him out. This is how you start buzzing and this is how you get your music out there like "Russell Young" has.
Oh yea, by the way, "Russell Young" is an extremely "HOT" rap artist, I mean, c'mon folks, were hearing that the "king" of rap himself "Jay-Z" is feeling him, so when you get a chance hit up his myspace page and check him out for yourself.
