Press Blurb RADIx (Quite Nyce and SEEK) are blessed. I mean if I told you that two randomly selected college roommates would meet as transfer students.

IHIPHOP DISTRIBUTION AND FRANKRADIO ARE PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THE RELEASE OF MARZ LOVEJOY’S DEBUT EP THIS LITTLE LIGHT OF MINE ON NOVEMBER 23, 2010. FIRST SINGLE ”STICKY” PRODUCED BY POLYESTER THE SAINT & BROOK D'LEAU
For Immediate Release September 23rd, 2010
MARZ Lovejoy discovered her passion for music at a young age. Writing poetry and lyrics always came naturally to the 19-year old Los Angeles Native. Earlier this year, she was tapped by Pac Div (Motown/Universal) to appear on their song “Shine” which had an immediate impact. Since her appearance on the track, fans and critics have been clamoring to hear more music and to learn about her as an artist.
Feeling the time was right, MARZ teamed up with star Los Angeles producer, Polyester the Saint, (most recently known for his work with Dom Kennedy, Pac Div and U-N-I, Skeme and many others) to craft the majority of her debut EP and her first single “Sticky.”
Her growing success is all due, in MARZ’s words, to “…humility and perseverance. I know it sounds cliché, but I strongly believe in staying humble. People forget where they came from and who they kicked it with, but my memory is keen.”
Check out “Sticky” NOW!

Boog & Apollo Bring Along Friends For The Latest Single From Brown Study
The Song:
The second single from the Brown Study album, "Friction", is an unadulterated, rough, and hard-hitting track. Apollo Brown takes no prisoners on this "heat rock," as Boog Brown best illustrates it. "Friction" opens with intensity and aggressiveness that leads into a firestorm of lyrics from Boog Brown. With a no nonsense line of attack, Boog shows off why she is quickly establishing herself as a lyrical heavy weight and holds her own along side longtime friends and lyrical specialists Invincible and Miz Korona, showing off wit and dexterity with lyrics like, "The goddess is all this and then some/ Thumbin' my nose at hoes and all critics - you can all get it/ I'm authentic, arsenic wit a flow all liquid/ No argument/ Heavy weight lyrics like I move large shipments/ Bo-guard the diction/ Good God it's sickening." Like steel sharpening steel, the lyrical onslaught of Boog, Korona, and Invicible perfectly compliment Apollo's unrelenting samples and heavy drums. The message of "Friction"? Boog puts it best: "No message per-se, just enjoy the dopeness and the next time you say 'she's dope for a female' remember this joint."
Boog Brown and Apollo Brown’s album Brown Study will be available September 28th via Mello Music Group.
Its been over 14 years since the Funky Man, Lord Finesse dropped his third album, The Awakening back in '96. The album boasts a shlew of guest features, including O.C. & KRS-One who both appear on one of the album's standout tracks, "Brainstorm". Confidence, the MA-based beat smith, puts an extremely dope twist to the original version, which serves as the first leak to his forthcoming mixtape ReCon, which drops next week! ReCon contains a collection of mid-90's underground classics that are all remixed by Confidence & mixed by Belgium's European DMC Champ, DJ Grazzhoppa.
