Gensu Dean was called upon a few years back to remix the American Me album from CL Smooth. The project was never officially released, but the stellar collection of remixes did garner some attention from serious heads. To celebrate Dean's signing to Mello Music Group and the release of his upcoming album "Standard Life", Gensu Dean decided to bless future fans with the complete CL Smooth American Me remixes.
Based out of Dallas, Texas, Gensu Dean is a producer who has been quietly laying down some heavy tracks in Hiphop. His first production credits were on Crooked Letterz (David Banner) debut record Grey Skies. Since then Dean has had production featured on Brand Nubian's Lord Jamar's The 5% Album and Sadat X's Black October, and Melatone's Memoirs & Melodies. Gensu Dean has been called upon by labels to remix projects from CL Smooth to Ol Dirty Bastard. Dean is known for his classic use of the Emu SP1200, the result of which has earned him co-signs from legends like DJ Spinna, DJ Premier and the King of Rock, DMC of the world renowned Run DMC. His debut album is ready for 1st quarter release and promises to have heads spinning with a dense line-up of classic emcees over top of some rugged production.

Jellyfish Brigade is excited to announce the release of their new single "Sunflowers", which will be available for FREE download on October 13th, 2011 at www.jellyfishbrigade.com .
Picking up where their debut "Gills and a Helmet" left off, the songs featured on "Sunflowers" combine the soulful, heart on the sleeve vocals of Lucas Dix with the whimsical melodies and grounding beats of Jeffrey Acciaioli's production. The release's title track is a chlorophyll colored piece showcasing the musical and personal growth of the duo. Blooming over a jazzy, drum and bass influenced hook, Dix croons the chorus "I've a long way to go", highlighting the cycles of a seemingly endless journey. The second track is a wine soaked remix of fellow portland artist Natasha Kmeto's "Want You Too", an R&B/Hiphop manifestation of summer time love at dusk. Together both songs present a vibrant soundtrack of transition, whether it be the slow change of summer to fall, the ending of a relationship, or the desire to break free of stagnation and grow towards the light.
"Sunflowers" will be available at www.jellyfishbrigade.com for FREE on Thursday, October 13th, 2011.

"This time around we decided to make a project a little more fundamental at the mixtape core, we went a little less pop and focused more on the rapping side of things. I think Ink has proved himself as a great song writer already, this project was intended to prove he can move the streets and hip-hop heads as well."
Kid Ink adds:
"I challenged myself with this one; I think writing and making pop & R&B records comes really easy for me, but this time around I wanted to make a project that everyone can enjoy....not just the youngsters but the fans of true Hip-Hop, lyrics, spitters as well...without going too far left of what I normally do of course."
