For more than 60 years, Atlantic Records has been home to the most innovative, compelling, and enduring artists in African-American music, spanning soul and R&B, jazz and hip-hop. To commemorate this month’s 30th anniversary of “Black Music Month,” Atlantic has launched a dynamic online promotional campaign, dubbed “Atlantic IS Black Music.”

“Atlantic IS Black Music” will see a video content link running all month long on the Atlantic Records homepage, located at www.atlanticrecords.com.

* * * * *

When the music industry first united in 1979 to create the annual Black Music Month celebration, Atlantic Records already had a long tradition in presenting African-American artistry. In fact, it was exactly 60 years ago that the label scored its first major hit with Stick McGhee’s 1949 smash, “Drinkin’ Wine Spo-Dee-O-Dee.” From there, Atlantic became the preeminent R&B label of the 1950s, boasting a roster which included the likes of Ruth Brown, Big Joe Turner, Ray Charles, the Clovers, the Drifters, LaVern Baker, and the Coasters.

Atlantic’s influence on the course of black music certainly didn’t stop there. The label pioneered the soul revolution with such stars as Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, Solomon Burke, Ben E. King, Wilson Pickett, Sam & Dave, and Booker T. & the MGs. Jazz was represented by such influential luminaries as John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, Charles Mingus, the Modern Jazz Quartet, and Rahsaan Roland Kirk. Atlantic continued to lead the way with Roberta Flack, Donny Hathaway, the Spinners, Chic, Sister Sledge, Levert, and many more.

Today, with artists ranging from hip-hop superstars like T.I., Lupe Fiasco, and Flo Rida, R&B icons like Musiq Soulchild and Toni Braxton, and new soul men and women like Trey Songz, Estelle, and Laura Izibor, Atlantic’s incredible legacy continues on into a new generation.

Mishon "Just A Kiss" Number One Added Song Urban Radio

MISHON’S SINGLE “JUST A KISS”
IS THE NUMBER ONE SONG
ADDED AT URBAN RADIO


(June 4, 2009 – Santa Monica, Ca) - Teen sensation Mishon is enjoying his buzz at urban radio. His single “Just A Kiss,” co-produced by the Interns and Harvey Mason, was the #1 most added song at Urban radio this week. The multi-talented 16 year old is already a TV star thanks to his role as spunky kid brother Tay on the ABC Family Channel drama “Lincoln Heights,” which began shooting its fourth season this spring.

Though Mishon has developed his own fan base thanks to his acting career, he is set to engage the music world with the release of his debut album, The Yearbook. The album will be released on Vincent Herbert’s new Streamline Records, a joint venture with Interscope Records.

While Mishon is ready to kick-start his run on the charts and is already shining on the small screen, he remains focused and humble.

“I’m extremely thankful for the opportunities that I have had and I look forward to sharing my music with my fans.”

Mishon recently wrapped filming the video for “Just A Kiss” which was shot in Los Angeles and directed by Paul Hunter.

About Mishon


• Mishon (MY-shawn), a 16 year-old singer and fledgling songwriter, represents the next wave of pop R&B edged with hip-hop fire.

• The vocalist has already stirred up noise with his debut track “Excuse Me Mama,” which shows off the Los Angeles native’s soaring vocal dexterity and considerable teen charm. His debut single “Just A Kiss” will be hitting the airwaves this April.

• The multi-talented teen is already a TV star thanks to his role as spunky kid brother Tay on the ABC Family Channel drama “Lincoln Heights,” which began its third season in September of 2008. Though Mishon has developed his own fan base thanks to his acting chops, he says that singing has always been his first love.

• Singing since he was a small child, his interest in music impressed his parents enough to enroll him in a local performing group of talented children that performed gigs throughout Southern California.

• Mishon’s debut Album, The Yearbook, is due Summer 2009 on producer/songwriter Vincent Herbert’s new Streamline Records, a joint venture with Interscope Records.

• Inspired by Michael Jackson, Usher, Jodeci, and Boyz II Men, Mishon is rapidly developing a style all his own. Mishon promises that like his performing idols, he’s got a few fly dance moves of his own saved for the stage.

• The young singer has teamed with uber-songwriters and producers including Sean “The Pen” Garrett (Usher, Pussycat Dolls, Ciara), The Underdogs (Chris Brown, Jordin Sparks), Dre and Vidal (Ciara, Usher, Mary J. Blige), Carlos “L.O.S” McKinney (J. Holiday, The Dream), Herbert and others on his debut album.

• While Mishon is ready to kick-start his run at the charts and already shines on the small screen, he remains humble and reminds other teens to keep their priorities straight. “Something I would like to tell teens is that if they’re a musician--or whatever they may do-- they should remember that their parents always support them, so they shouldn’t be afraid to talk to their parents,” says Mishon, whose name is a mashup of the first names of parents Michael and Shontay. “I know that a lot of teens are kind of rebellious sometimes, but just keep your support behind you and keep God number one and follow your dreams, don’t ever give up. That’s been my stronghold for the last five years.”

The Chancellor/Education Swap

There is one more form of organized crime at an education level I wanted to tell people about. I have a bachelor’s degree, and two masters degrees. I am a very education person and I have written over 5 books.

The new thing I am learning about is the “Chancellor Swap.” College chancellors make between $100,000-$200,000 a year. People are letting people they know slide into chancellor positions because they feel like this is an easy job to work and that a PHD or master’s degree is not even needed at times. Even worse than the chancellor swap is the elementary teacher swap, high school teacher swap and the college professor swap. In the elementary teacher swap, once the school year has started an unqualified uneducated person will take over the classroom. Too many times the kids end up uneducated and sometimes hurt or molested because the person involved in the teacher swap is a criminal.

The chancellor/college president swap is the worse one because these people feel like these high paying jobs are hard to get through an interview process but by paying someone money or providing them with drugs or sex favors, they can put who they want in these positions.

Mysticism cults, mind washing and criminal units around the world

Mysticism cults, mind washing and criminal units around the world
There are a ton of books on the market about ancient mysticism, mind reading, telekinesis, dream communication, lucid dreaming and mind, body and soul communication.

People often read these books and attend these new age seminars and leave thinking that they are doctors, mind readers or part of some kind of occult lifestyle.

Many black people caught up in the Nigga New World Order cult that they believe sponsors credit cards and free money offers are attracted to this mind take over, mind washing life style. People caught up in extreme religion often take up mind washing. The Cult The Family which was featured on Montel Williams show several times in the 1990’s and beyond worked hard on mind washing, along with the followers of people like Warren Jeffs.

Too many people who have learned crystal chanting, mutual masturbation, group psychic readings, body oil sessions and same sex participation believe that they are tricking the federal government. Too many of these people believe that this masturbation channel, mind reading, and talking into devices like iPods and cell phones over throw the CIA, the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security. Too many of these pure criminals believe because an iPod says “Made in China” that they can clean talk to China through the device because a wicked black market form of device logics makes people think that communication satellites carry the thoughts and desires of individuals who are using these devices.

The Central Intelligence Agency has been in the news a great deal lately with the Nancy Pelosi comments and Bush and Cheney papers being scrutinized, but too many people want to focus on a 1940’s CIA that is really concerned with these regular people walking around here on the planet earth. They want to sell people a bag of cookies about mind washing and new world order and the CIA in every Dell computer and iPod. Well the Dell Computer and the iPod are both made in the People’s Republic of China. The Central Intelligence Agency is a U.S. based intelligence gathering agency. These extreme weirdos want to make people scared of banks. The main thing these crooks are trying to do at this point is to get a free house by scamming people into thinking that they can get a foreclosed house. Another popular scam is that the people chant, pray and take so called healing drugs to get a car dealerships to sponsor their cult with a free car. Indian people, Arab people, Asian people, black people, and white people are increasingly caught up in these mind altering criminal thought waves that the FBI is working hard to curb.

Anyway, Eric wanted me to write this because he has seen too many of these Edgar Cayce followers, Sylvia Brown followers, Iyana Van Zandt followers and other zealots go off of the deep end with this mind washing and mutual masturbation and crystal reading--not to mention blood tasting in unison and thinking that they can over throw the United States government.

AMERIE’s DEF JAM DEBUT ALBUM IN LOVE & WAR SET TO ARRIVE IN AUGUST

“WHY R U” GOES TO RADIO JUNE 15th AS FIRST SINGLE – VIDEO DIRECTED BY RAY KAY PREMIERES JUNE 8th ON BET

New album producers include The Buchanans (“Why R U”), Teddy Riley, Sean Garrett & Eric Hudson, Jim Johnson & Rico Love, Brian Cox and others.

(New York, NY) Multiple award winning, RIAA platinum singer and songwriter Amerie has completed her premiere album for Def Jam Recordings (her fourth career album), entitled IN LOVE & WAR, scheduled to arrive in the physical and digital marketplace in August.

Anticipation for Amerie’s new album reached a fever pitch when “Why R U” debuted May 11th on her MySpace website, http://www.myspace.com/ameriemimarie. New York City Hot 97 radio dj Funk Master Flex caught the buzz when he played “Why R U” for 15 minutes straight. The track officially goes to all radio formats on June 15th as the first single from IN LOVE & WAR. The video for “Why R U,” which premieres June 8th on BET, was directed by Ray Kay (whose credits include fellow Def Jam artist The-Dream’s “Shawty Is a 10” featuring Fabolous, Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face,” and more).

“Why R U” was produced by the Buchanans, who were among the roster of producers that worked with Amerie on her last two albums, Touch (2005) and Because I Love It (2007), as well as on album tracks with Jay-Z (The Black Album), Beyoncé (Dangerously in Love), Black Rob, and Lupe Fiasco. In addition to the Buchanans, other producers who worked on the Atlanta,LA, and Miami sessions for IN LOVE & WAR include Teddy Riley (“Tell Me You Love Me”), Sean Garrett & Eric Hudson (“Heard ’Em All”), and Jim Johnson & Rico Love (“Swagback”), Brian Michael Cox ("Red Eye").

Born to Korean and African-American parents, Amerie grew up in U.S. military sites around the world before finding her roots in Washington , DC , where she earned a degree in English and Fine Arts from Georgetown . Early demos led the way to Columbia Records debut album All I Have. The album hit RIAA gold on the strength of the R&B/pop crossover hit “Why Don’t We Fall in Love,” which won Amerie the Soul Train Music Awards’ Best R&B/Soul or Rap New Artist award.

Amerie continued her string on the RIAA gold Touch (2005). The album contained one of the top songs of the year, the #1 R&B smash “1 Thing,” which won the VIBE Award for Club Banger Of the Year. The song’s rise to the top was helped along by its inclusion in the soundtrack of the Will Smith-Eva Mendes film, Hitch. “1 Thing” became a platinum-selling digital download and mastertone, and was nominated for Best Female R&B Vocal Grammy; Touch was nominated for Best Contemporary R&B Album.

Artist Big Rich Announces New Album

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BAY AREA RAP STAR BIG RICH ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM "HEART OF THE CITY"

Fresh back from E-40's highly successful "Wake It Up Tour", Big Rich is set to release his sophomore album "Heart Of The City".

After releasing the critically acclaimed album "Block Tested Hood Approved" on Street Cred/KOCH Records in 2006 and the ground breaking San Francisco Anthem in 2008, Big Rich is proving that he is here to stay.

Now in 2009, on the verge of Big Rich's new solo release "Heart Of The City", he is wiser, worldlier shows us a different side of Big Rich.

"On my album 'Heart Of The City', I'm talking about issues happening in every city (not the glamorous/tourist side) on a daily basis. I'm trying to capture the mood of rolling through your city and seeing different things going on in your everyday life. I'm telling my story through the eyes of a hustler's lifestyle: not a gangsta, a drug dealer, a politician, but a person who once struggled and now enjoys the journey after the fact."

Though both of his previous releases reached nationwide attention with MTV and BET airplay, Big Rich insists he is not satisfied. Still hungry for more "Heart Of The City" is Big Rich's best work to date.

The official lead single "Ballin", produced by Automattik, is currently in heavy rotation on MTV, in the streets and catching a large amount of attention from radio stations throughout the entire West Coast. Other tracks on the album like "Pushin," were produced by D-Animals and "Fly Gangstas" by M.A., shows Big Rich's growth as a nationwide artist, whose music has reached new heights. Along with his heavy bass street anthems "I'm Back," "Wassup" featuring Glasses Malone and "Summertime" featuring The Jacka, Big Rich continues to deliver his trademark sound.

Guest appearances include Glasses Malone, The Jacka, Dem Hoodstarz, 3 Story Gang and more. Along with production by 3 Story's own in-house producer D-Animals, Automattik and M.A, also contributed tracks to the album as well.

After 2+ years since the release of "Block Tested Hood Approved", Big Rich remained relevant in the Bay Area Hip-Hop scene with several street albums, countless guest appearances and staying in rotation on MTV. Never backing down from a challenge, Big Rich is prepared to survive through our country's and the music industry's current recession by adapting and adjusting to the times.

"Heart Of The City" will be a fully independent album, released via his own label 3 Story Muzik/Street Cred Music Group and will hit stores on June 30.
