The Miami Music Festival and Conference (MMF), Miami's second annual emerging musical artist showcase, and the centerpiece event of this November's new "Live Music Month in Miami", has now released details on www.miamimusicfestival.org about its 400+ Latin, Hip-Hop, R&B, Rock, Jazz, Caribbean, and Inspirational musical performances to take place on 45 stages throughout the city. This marks a dramatic expansion of the event, which debuted in 2009. Venues include multiple stages in Bayfront Park, nightclubs, and restaurants in Downtown Miami, Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, Miami Beach, Wynwood, The Design District and Little Haiti.
"Yo! Promotions is proud to officially sponsor the 2010 Miami Music Festival, one of the biggest events Miami has seen thus far," says Yo! Promotions Founder/CEO Kai Denninger. "This is a great chance for lots of musicians in all kinds of genres to show their talent and people who love music simply have to visit the festival."
The Miami Music Festival's music industry conference at The Hyatt Regency Miami on Friday (November 12) and Saturday (November 13) has also recently added sessions and speakers rounding out an already robust schedule of panels, master classes, demonstrations and live interviews, which also can be found on the MMF website.
Urban Network Vice President Arthur Mitchell said, "We're bringing everyone to Miami! From our writers and editors to industry leaders to the hottest talent in the business today, […] we’ll all be at the Miami Music Festival this November."
Panelists at the "Hip Hop Power Panel" from Urban Network are Debra Atney (CEO of Mizay Entertainment), Fernando Watson (Senior Vice President of Poe Boy Music Group), Uncle Luke (Platinum Artist/Producer), MTV reality star Creepa, and many more!
Kyle A. Green Sr., CEO/President of QS4 Entertainment and acting board member with the Urban Network is also excited about the upcoming festival and was a valuable factor in the partnership between the Miami Music Festival and Yo! Promotions.
"Forming a partnership with Yo! Promotions is a great move for the Miami Music Festival! QS4 Entertainment could not resist the opportunity to be involved with such a great festival as well. I've been pushing this event strong all year, I'm so excited and already looking forward to 2011," said Kyle Green.
Three-day festival wristbands are now available for advance purchase on www.miamimusicfestival.org for only $25, a 50% savings. Single day tickets will also be available at each event.
"There's no question that the MMF will help artists, support Miami’s arts community and delight music fans," said Miami Music Festival CEO Irwin Kornfeld. "Our advisory boards of local musicians, sound engineers, artist and club managers, sponsors, partners and staff have done an incredible job planning this year's event."
If you've already supported Epiphany in the past then you're already familiar with his music and what he's all about. If you aren't familiar with Epiphany, please take 5 minutes to listen to one of these songs I'm sending you and post them on your site if you feel fit. Either way, thanks for your time!
In the first track, "Untouchable", producer Apollo takes a Biggie sample and gives it that down south knock while Big Piph kills the mic. (Sidebar - "Untouchable" was recently featured on the NikeTalk Secret Society: Volume 2 Mixtape that just released last week). On the second, "Creamy Flow", Piph lays out his mindset on how some women tend to overvalue themselves over the classic Wu-Tang Clan "Cream" beat.
Dennis Brown - The Crown Prince of Reggae (1972-1985)
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(VP RECORDS/17 NORTH PARADE, NEW YORK) - The legend of Dennis Brown lives on as a three-disc compilation of his hit singles, aptly titled The Crown Prince of Reggae - Singles (1972-1985), will be reissued by 17 North Parade, a VP Records imprint, on November 16, 2010.
Selected as one of National Public Radio's '50 Great Voices' in 2010, Brown is the archetype of reggae vocalists and his unique, soulful sound has earned him legions of fans during his lifetime, including Bob Marley, who rated Brown as his favorite singer. Even with his premature passing in July 1997 at age 42, Brown's music continues to live on in the dancehalls and on radio today.
This collection of Dennis Brown hits from 1972 to 1985 will give Brown buffs a broader view of the legend than any previous compilations of his work. Featuring anthems such as "Revolution" and "Promised Land" to lesser-known but no less compelling works like "Satisfaction Feeling" and the gritty musical ultimatum "Praise Without Raise," this playlist is bound to satisfy long-time enthusiasts as well as new seekers of the iconic musician.
The bonus DVD sees Dennis Brown live in concert, backed by Lloyd Parks and We the People Band, in a 1979 performance m at the Montreux Jazz Festival - the best-known music festival in Switzerland and one of the most prestigious in Europe. It also includes seven additional hits that are not included on the audio discs.
17 North Parade brings you these 47 Dennis Brown hits in one deluxe collector's package, which includes liner notes from journalist Carter Van Pelt, in a fitting tribute to this iconic artist.
This new compilation is also a companion set to The Best of Dennis Brown: Love & Hate, released by VP Records in July 1997. The new set adds more classic Dennis Brown material where Love & Hate leaves off, especially with the early hits. Together, they give fans the complete Dennis Brown experience. Love & Hate is now available for sale from the VP Records online store, www.vpreggae.com .

J. Monday is P.A.'s hottest new emerging artist making noise in and around The Keystone State. Read The Capital Kid's new interview at StreetLogik.com where he takes you inside his mind and the recording process of his new mixtape The Sequel. Here's some of what Street Logik had to say:
Some emcees can’t help but to keep it real, not in a superficial attempt to stay down-to-earth but in a natural effort to stay true to self. J. Monday is definitely one of those emcees.
Also known as The Capital Kid, this Harrisburg, PA-native’s music is comprised of real life situations and true stories that can only be accounted for through prolific experience which is prominently displayed on his latest solid mixtape, The Sequel.
The self-proclaimed “King of the City”, he believes the best artist is an artist who can connect with listeners through inevitable experiences this life brings. With that in mind, Monday spits lyrical content that everyday people can relate and heed to while keeping the true essence of Hip-Hop alive.
And here's a bonus track off J. Monday's recently released mixtape The Sequel called "Flying Rounds" produced by emerging production duo The AmazNs. The Capital Kid shows his versatility by dropping some southern swag on this track.
If you're in Philadelphia the night of November 3 make sure you stop by Fluid Nightclub where The Capital Kid, J. Monday, will be performing live at the iStandard Producers Showcase.
Fluid Nightclub 613 South 4th Street Philadelphia, PA 19147
Doors open at 8 p.m. - Show start promptly at 8:30 p.m. 21 & Over; ID a Must!
