With hot singles like "Secret Lady", and the WATW album's first single "Perfume" (music video coming soon), you'll clearly be able to see Will's ultra premium style and flavor.

I made the “College Made Me Do It” album for Teenagers, Hustler's, College Students, Hip-Hop heads, Independent women, and College Dropouts. I made “We are the World” for the entire globe.

Artist Spotlight: Catskill (Canada)


Face it! Your favorite rapper lacks identity. Originality doesn’t exist---the death of FM radio is near. We know it, and you know it. Legions of rappers are incorporating user-friendly lyrics with tacky synthesizers, idiotic dancing, and auto-tuning themselves into George Michael. Pathetic. Is this what the Rap game has become? It has my friends. In 2009, the hip hop scene has indeed had its share of misfortunes. Safe to say that all hope is gone--right! Try telling that to Canada’s lyrical madman, Catskill, who has been stirring up industry controversy with his fearless wordplay, cut-throat image, and undeniable lyrical ability. Your favorite rapper is dead. Get ready for the “Heir to the Throne”.

After reigning in the underground hip hop circuit for several years, rockin’ local sell-out shows, and rippin anyone who stood in his way, Catskill had caught the attention of legendary DJ, Clinton Sparks. The chemistry between the two was instantaneous, and together they would create the blueprint for a debut masterpiece---a masterpiece just as rare and unique as the man behind the mic. Experience musical bliss and chaos, rolled into one stacked dutchmaster of orchestrated genius. Bangers like “Sugar Town” reflect Catskill’s unique energy and hilarious comical delivery. A sense of humor is not included, although preferred. You’ll assume its all fun and games until you turn on the murderous anthem, “Kill Em” however, which contains a hard-hitting chorus that will paralyze any listener with the force of a Tyson right-hook to the brain! Leave that Asher Roth bullshit at the door! Catskill is an artist of many talents, capable of dominating any theme and this is thoroughly recognized throughout his exciting debut. Feel his passion to succeed, against all odds, on the radio-friendly smash “Year of the Cat”. A song that serves as an inspiration for all, delivered in the way only Catskill can deliver it. We don’t want to spoil the opportunity you’ve been waiting for by telling you about what this man can do, experience it for yourself! Prepare yourself for epic music that will etch its way inside your mind, and heart for years to come. “My music is meant to be controversial; it’s meant to be talked about, to be studied,” says the talented Emcee.

“Armed with a bright future, there is no predicting what Catskill is capable of, and where his limits initiate. He is currently in the midst of an industry bidding war, and one of serious financial proportions. Can’t contain your excitement?! The good news is you don’t have to wait to get your hands on “Heir to the Throne”. Get ready to experience the future of hip-hop as we know it, as Clinton knows it, and soon enough, the world. The already classic “Heir to the Throne” features guest appearances from Clinton Sparks, and Bizarre of D-12--Available now, supplies are limited.

Contact Katz Management at 407-219-1377 to book Catskill or for interviews. Good luck to all!

Example of How To End Your Career In Hip Hop


Rappers...
a lot of you guys are so called "real niggaz"...
I mean I am a rapper too, but its certain lines you DON'T cross!

Let me explain...
If you send a industry pro
(ex. a DJ, producer, A&R, exec., etc...)
some music...
and they agree to give feedback... GREAT!

If, for some reason (which may be rare smh)...
they DON'T like the music, and give you feedback,
THAT YOU ASKED FOR... that you don't agree with...

GET OVER IT
WORK HARDER
TRY AGAIN LATER

Here is a perfect example of what you do to end your career...
even if it is just beginning... like opening stages beginning...
I mean like still in the hood just started rapping last week beginning...
yeah even if its that early...

A certain underground rapper, who no ones ever heard of, sends a record to a famous DJ, who in turn agrees to give it a listen. The DJ then gives "constructive criticism" (learn that phrase kids) and says its not anything he would play. Just being honest, the DJ tells the rapper that he is not ready. (This is the career ending part) The rapper, who was just so happy the DJ listened, thanks him for playing the record on Shade45 (yeah, that Shade45).

The DJ is like "What? who said I played it on Shade45". (Hold on, hold on... forgot to remind you, they never formally met, this was a twitter thing... smh gotta love the internet). Sooo, one of the DJ's followers makes it worse, and says something like "yeah, that'll teach him" (not exactly their words, but it sounds funny) and the young rapper is now highly pissed thinking that the DJ is trying to play him.

He then responds with a big budget youtube video (I had to say that... lmao big budget) which is a freestyle over Jay Z's "Death of Autotune". Now... if you are going to diss a DJ, who happens to be the foundation of hip hop, and THIS DJ is one of the (bleep) DJ's, a group of DJ's that break records nationwide, make sure the record is playable. By playable, I mean, GOOD! I mean like, NOT WHACK!

But no, no, no, that's not all. In the song, the rapper, throws shot at another DJ, and even a multi-platinum grammy nominated producer. Grammy nominated. Another industry pro he met on Twitter. Multi platinum. He takes shots at the producer because... the producer wanted to charge him for a record? (what? when did producer stop giving away free beats... lmao) Im pretty sure he isn't worried about producer for a "prominent up-and-comer" like you when he produces for people like Lil' Wayne.

But back to the song. The song is, mixed... horribly. Every few seconds a tag/drop says "Media Demo"... obviously the young rapper recorded the record at home. With his PC microphone and the demo version of a home studio. Smh. But don't get me wrong, the rapping... is... just as horrible. He then "mass tweets" the link to the diss record. I repeat, the link to the diss record. Mass tweets. And gets into a argument with some of the other (bleep) DJ's, who came to defend their partner. Twitter argument. Smh.

After his "twitter campaign" and I'm sure he mentioned it on Myspace and Facebook, and even Blackplanet or Urbanchat (if that still exist) the video has gained... drumroll... 48 views... well 47 subtract mine please. And the only comment it received says "Is it really that serious? Niggas make diss tracks to people they beef w. on the intermet? Hmmph. Wow. Have fun with that *SMH*"

Here's where he made a mistake. The (bleep) DJ's have hands in all markets when it comes to hip hop. East coast, Left coast, Down here, and even in the midwest. Why are you taking shots at the ones who play records. DJ's stick together, and if you mess with one of the (bleep) DJ's, you messed with them all. DON'T DISS DJ'S, EVEN THE LITTLE HOMETOWN 43 YEAR OLD DJ'S WHO DJ'ED DISCO PARTIES AT A HOLE IN THE WALL 27 YEARS AGO. Oh, and don't diss multi platinum, grammy nominated, famous, super producers either. They don't like that.

Another rapper's career bites the delicious dust. Smh.

PS... if you wanna hear the song (you don't)...
here's the link... don't click it, it sucks... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8bcu2pmddo

Oh, and the DJ's I'm talking about are THE CORE DJ'S... YEAH THOSE CORE DJ'S!

Oh, and the white kid isn't the rapper. But even he has a better chance of making it now. Smh.

Artist Spotlight: XO (Texas, Bucc Up Records)



"WHERE THEY AT?" THIS IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST QUESTIONS IN THE HIP HOP GAME WHEN IT COMES TO FEMALE MC'S. "XO" IS THE ANSWER! SINCE 1984 X HAS FACED ADVERSITY AND HARD TIMES BUT THAT DIDN'T STOP HER, FROM THE BRUTAL MURDER OF HER FATHER TO BEING HOMELESS AT 19 (ENOUGH DRAMA TO MAKE A MOVIE) SHE OVERCAME IT ALL. X ATTENDED LONGVIEW HIGH IN TEXAS WHERE SHE GRADUATED AND FIRST STARTED TO RAP. HER LOVE FOR MUSIC NEVER DIED AND SHE CONTINUED TO GRIND. THEN CAME A GUY NAMED "AL-B"(FUTURE HUSBAND AND MANAGER) HE WAS BLOWN AWAY INSTANTLY AFTER HEARING X RAP. HE MARVELED AT HER CRUNK, NO HOLDS BARRED, RUGGED RAP STYLE AND REALIZED THERE WAS NOTHING LIKE IT IN THE GAME. HE PREACHED TO HER THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO ALWAYS RAP ABOUT THINGS THAT FEMALES ARE SUPPOSED TO RAP ABOUT, TO NEVER LIMIT HERSELF. WITH AL-B HANDLING THE MUSIC AND PROMO AND X OBLITERATING EVERY TRACK THEY BECAME A GREAT TEAM AND THE MUSIC THAT WAS CREATED WAS GREAT! SOON AFTER THEY CREATED M.I.M ENTERTAINMENT (MUSIC IS ME) AND CREATED A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE DALLAS BASED LABEL "BUCC UP RECORDS" TO TAKE THEIR MUSIC FURTHER THAN HOME. X FEELS LIKE HER TIME IS "NOW" AND STARTS OFF EVERY TRACK BOLDLY YELLING "XO IN DIS BITCH!!!!! "

Willy Northpole Diss (Claims Willy only sold 2,800 ALBUMS)

The very same state in which he has taken credit for putting on the map is taking any and all stripes away from DTP/Def Jam recording artist Willy Northpole! After being one of Def Jam's worst releases (Tha Connect - 2800 units) in its 25 year history Willy is still not humbled by the humiliation. In fact he decided to diss the very same people who carried him on their back with the record "Garbage Disposal 3".

Well Tajji Sharp (who has been linked with Kanye West & Kanye's Good Music imprint) is now telling the story of the true Willy Northpole and how in fact how he is an embarrassment for the Arizona music movement and the epitome of a garbage disposal!

Artist Spotlight: Venice (FLA & ATL)


What type of Artist and Songwriter do you get when you mix some old school Donny Hathaway, Stevie Wonder, and Sam Cooke with a little new school Usher, Ne-Yo, and Chris Brown? The product is VENICE. Born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana; this is where the journey of being Venice begins. At only a few years of age he and his family move to a South Florida town named Fort Pierce. This is where he lived most of his childhood years, all the way through high school. While living in Florida, Venice discovered his musical talents around the age of 10. Slowly but surely his confidence in music became stronger as more and more of friends, family and strangers would acknowledge the fact that he could sing. It wasn't until he was in high school that he began to officially pursue a career in music. Venice and some high school friends formed a local group in Fort Pierce. The group called "JAVE'" performed in several talent shows, showcases in their local area. JAVE' eventually got signed to a local independent label. As time progressed with the group and it was time for graduation from college so the group split. Venice then moved to Atlanta, GA. to attend college in the AUC and also continue his dreams of working in the music industry as a singer and songwriter. Since moving to Atlanta, Venice has performed in several open mic nights at clubs and showcases; including a showcase sponsored by the group Jagged Edge. He is now currently in the studio working on his independent album he plans to called "Reassurance." This Full Length (LP) should be out sometime in the summer 2009. Representing that FLORIDA MOVEMENT and ATL to the fullest; Venice is also trying to shop his Summer bangers called "Overdose", "2 Late ft. Stoney J.", and "Pretender" (CHECK EM' OUT)!!! He plans to also release a 4th & extra single "Some Type of Way"; depending on the success of his upcoming debut album. Venice was robbed and shot 6 times early 2008, was hospitalized, and is now doing much better. Venice says that his debut album's name "Reassurance" fits his life and confirms his passion for music even more now than before being shot.

SOMETHING TO KNOW: Venice is actually his REAL name; His legal name is just spelled differently.
