As the former hype man for Seattle's D.Black, Fatal Lucciauno is known for freestyles and for being an intelligent rapper with street knowledge and credibility. In 2007 his debut album "The Only Forgotten Son"earned him a slot in URB's NEXT 1000 and the attention of Seattle's top producer Jake One. You can expect to hear more from the pair in the future, but for now this will have to do. In this song Lucciauno says " Its a response to the negative image some local press painted of me while he I was locked up a couple of years ago" Cry For Help also doubles as an awareness message, asking that people listen to the youth when they act out, because it can be too late by time we realize they're asking for help.
Critical Praise for Fatal Lucciauno:
The Most talked about rapper in Seattle right now is Fatal Lucciauno -The Seattle Times
Everyone should go out and get this album, everyone!!!!!!!! It's one of the most refreshing and original albums to hit the Hip Hop scene in a long time with fresh, original, gritty and real lyricism combined with the unique but reminiscent of Scarface and Nas voice of Fatal Lucciauno, make this an album to own. -Ya Heard Music Reviews
With a flow which sounds something like Shyne meets Lloyd Banks, plus an enormous chip on his shoulder, Fatal L. is here to keep hustling like a true rap Don. -URB Magazine
Poetic, potent, hard-hitting hip-hop from an artist with solid street credentials, amazing freestyling skill and a powerful drive for self-expression. -Gene Stout/Seattle PI
ABOUT FATAL LUCCCIUANO:
Like many young black men in America, Fatal Lucciauno (born Rahmeece Chevosier Howell) fell into the cycle of street life and drug dealing. What makes Fatal different than your average thug on the street is his obvious old soul, which you come to understand when you first meet him. After delving deeper into his music and personality you begin to understand that he also has an extremely keen sense of history and people. Lucciauno began as a battle rapper on street corners, playgrounds and public buses, after realizing there was more than just competition pumping in his blood; he pursued his desire to create music. At the age of fifteen he became the second solo artist signed to Sportn' Life Records, and the hype man for D.Black. It's Fatal's Intelligent and unique approach to street rap sets hip apart from the heard.
ABOUT SPORTN' LIFE RECORDS
Co-Founded in 2002 by DeVon Manier, Sportn' Life Records currently serves as the longest operating independent Hip Hop record label in Seattle. The labels roster includes D.Black, Fatal Lucciauno, Spaceman, SK and Marissa. www.sportnlife.net .
The Game, Ice Cube + Bow Wow "Sponsor" Teairra Mari
TEAIRRA MARI LOOKS TO WIN BIG IN 2010
SCANDALOUS TOP 20 SINGLE, “SPONSOR” RIDING THE AIRWAVES WHILE BANNED ON TV
5-SONG EP DUE OUT AUG 17
SULTRY SONGSTRESS LANDS LEADING ROLE IN NEW ICE CUBE FILM THE LOTTERY TICKET, OUT AUG 20
June 17, 2010 (New York, NY) – People are mad at Teairra Mari. Or, more accurately, they’re mad about Teairra Mari. If they’re not appalled about the lyrical content of her new banger, “Sponsor,” an outlandish homage to the perks of finding that someone special to lace you with the finer things in life, then they’re irritated that certain channels have enacted a double-standard to excuse themselves, despite fan requests, from playing the song’s video. Either way, it doesn’t matter. With good-look guest spots from Gucci Mane and Soulja Boy, “Sponsor” has quickly moved into the Top 20 at Urban Radio, prepping Teairra for a scorching summer full of sought after concert performance dates, the digital release of a 5-song EP on August 17, and her appearance on the big screen.
August will find the sultry songstress in a substantial role in Warner Bros. Films’ The Lottery Ticket. Opening August 20, The Lottery Ticket features an all-star cast that includes Ice Cube, Bow Wow, Loretta Devine, Mike Epps, and Charlie Murphy. Teairra beat out a number of other high profile young actresses to land the role of sponsor-iffic Nikki Swasey. “I’m like the hot chick in the projects,” laughs Mari, “but something’s not right because I’m still in the projects!”
Teairra Mari is no stranger to rocky roads. Signed to Roc-A-Fella Records at just 16-years-old, the Detroit native burst onto the scene in 2005 with her debut album, Roc-A-Fella Presents: Teairra Mari. The album debuted at #2 and spawned a Top 10 single with “Mark Her Feel Good,” and a crossover hit with “No Daddy.” But things went awry shortly thereafter prompting the “Princess of the Roc” to receive the phone call, as she was dressing for her senior prom, that she was getting dropped from the label.
After a brief dark period, Teairra pulled herself up by her bootstraps. “Name it and claim it!,” she recently told Academy Award winning actress and talk show host Mo’Nique. “No one’s going to pull you up but yourself. No one’s going to give you confidence but you.”
It was during that period that she connected with music industry veteran Cudda Love (Mase, Nelly), who quickly signed Teairra to his Fo’ Reel imprint. Cudda and Teairra spent the next two years reintroducing her to fans with buzz tracks "Hunt 4 U" featuring Pleasure P and “Cause a Scene” featuring Flo Rida.
"This world is a place where you have to show people. And you have to keep showing them,” says Teairra. “I know people counted me out. I want people to know this is in my heart and this is not something I decided to do just because someone decided to give me a track. This is something I wanted to do my whole life.”
So what does Teairra make of all the “Sponsor”-versy? “Personally, I prefer a corporate sponsor,” she told Mo’Nique. “So, right now, Warner Bros. is my sponsor. But no matter what you do – doctor, lawyer, board of education – wherever you get your coins from to pay your bills, that’s your sponsor. Work it!”

Wu-Tang Clan Premiere Pollen: The Swarm Part Three on AOL Music
The legendary Wu-Tang Clan is gearing up for the release of their brand new fifteen track album, Pollen: The Swarm Part Three, which hits stores next week, by streaming it in its entirety on AOL Music and AOL Spinner this week. The record, which drops June 22nd from Wu Music Group, is the third installment of the official swarm franchise and features original Wu-Tang Clan members RZA (Bobby Digital), Ghostface Killa, Method Man (Johnny Blaze) and many more. Volumes I and II of The Swarm have sold over eight hundred thousand units to date.
The Wu camp issued an official letter last month announcing Pollen’s release, and offered a 30-second teaser of a never-before-heard track by the late, great O.D.B. titled “Dirts the Boogie,” which Dirt recorded with his son, Y.D.B. Boy Jones. Check it out at the link below, along with two additional teaser clips for “Assed Out” by the Wu-Tang Clan and “M.E.F.” by Johnny Blaze. In speaking about Pollen: The Swarm Part Three in their letter, Wu-Tang headquarters declared, “This album will effectively pollinate and enter your senses and is guaranteed to inspire and buzz the ears of any true Wu fan looking for that real WUTANG indulgence and experience without leaving out the this generation’s expressions of hip hop and those still to come.” The RZA also chimed in that, “these tracks are ready to prove to Wutang fans that real Hip Hop is less about the bling and more about expression.”
As previously announced, Wu-Tang Clan will hit the road this summer to perform their notorious 1993 debut Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) live a the 7th annual rap tour Rock the Bells. Additional Wu dates throughout the summer will be announced soon. The RZA is also scheduled to produce GZA’s Liquid Sword II due to be released by Wu Music Group at the end of the year.

The Vallejo Native Speaks On Dreams And Risks In His New Single
Critical Praise for Moe Green:
Selected as a member of 106 KMEL's (the biggest Bay Area hip-hop station) Freshmen Class of 2010.
The Song:
Rising star and recent KMEL Bay Area Freshman 10 class selection, Moe Green is readying the release of his debut album, Rocky Maivia: Non-Title Match, on Interdependent Media. Produced by Nick Maples, the new single, "Top Turnbuckle Lifestyle," finds Moe, whose Twitter handle is, aptly, @MoeTheDreamer, looking toward the future as he dreams of success. "In this song, I'm just trying to tell people what's gonna happen after I reach the next level in my career and in life," says Moe. With a smooth synthesizer and drums in the background, Moe's voice flows over the beat, as clear and lucid as the message he's sending. "I'm bout to kill it no bluffin'/yea I'm rubbin elbows with industry people who did something," raps Moe as he continues to make strides of turning his dreams and visions into reality.
Also staying true to the roots of the album concept, the title for the track, similar to the title of the album, references wrestling. "That's why I called it Top Turnbuckle Lifestyle," explains Moe. "In wresting that's when the guy is on the top rope and jumps off not knowing if he is going to land the move or not so he is really just putting it all out there with the risk." For this Vallejo native, Moe is ready to dish out a take down.
The rap game is overflowing with aspiring new MCs, all crammed into a single ring fighting for that lone heavyweight title. One particular competitor who has fully dedicated himself to the good fight is 22-year old Moe Green from Vallejo, California. His forthcoming debut album, Rocky Maivia: Non Title Match, is titled after Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's first professional ring name and perfectly embodies Moe place in today's hip-hop circuit - the newcomer who is one day going to hold the championship belt. Like any fighter, years of training, dedication, and discipline are required to claim the top spot. Moe has been training for this his entire life. Having competed in speech and poetry meets growing up, Moe found himself genuinely attracted to the creative freedom music imparts early in his life, even writing rhymes in kindergarten with his childhood best friend and E-40's son, Droop-E. Listeners of Rocky Maiva can expect to hear tales from a young man from a hard hit city trying to find his way in the world the best he can. On growing from Rocky Maivia to one day standing amongst the greats, Moe says, "I need to win a couple belts first. I have to prove that I have the skill to do that and this album is like my wrestling debut." And so, the journey begins.

--== Sudden Death Blow-Out Sale ==-- You may or may not have heard, but at the end of July I will be moving. And I realized recently that I still have a bunch of old Sudden Death CDs and Cassettes stacked in my basement. So what does this mean for you? Well, I want these things out of my house so I don't have to move them. This means it's a great opportunity for you to complete your Sudden Death collection because I have marked everything down. Way down.
All cassettes-that's everything from Dead Things Can Rap Too through Fatal Accident Zone-have been marked down to $2.99. All CDs, which includes Fatal Accident Zone, Brain Dead, Technobabble, and Fatal Error are just $4.99.
The CDs can be purchased from either DevoSpice.com or from the store at TheFuMP.com, but the cassettes are only available from the Albums page at DevoSpice.com (http://www.devospice.com/albums.php). So go to DevoSpice.com, select About, and then Albums and you'll see everything.
This sale is going to run through July 15th, which is when I leave for Nerdapalooza. Because when I get back from Nerdapalooza I'm going to have to finish packing up everything that hasn't sold and move it to the new house. At that point I'm going to throw out whatever cassettes haven't sold save for probably 5 of each which I'll keep for posterity. So this is your last chance to get the old Sudden Death cassettes and complete your collection. Once they sell out, or once this sale ends, the cassettes will never be available again. So get them now while you can. And don't forget the Decade of Decay album which is still free with any purchase. I still have a few of those left so if you want one just add it to your shopping cart with your order.
The more you buy the less I have to move, so help me get this stuff out of my house!
On the heels of last fall's Breez Deez Treez release, which critics called "a brilliant audio memoir," and "Thoughtful hip-hop done the right way," Breez Evahflowin and Dutch creative artist Arjen Noordeman have collaborated to release an animated video of the album's second track, I Know.
Some get caught up in the gears after years on the grind What he hears in his mind don't appear when he rhyme His connection to feeling is nearly dying He appears designed To the deals he signed The line Gets blurry when we worry about what we owe Weak minds leak through the audio In particular nobody you know But its a part of anybody who flow Don't think about it, … I know
After listening to the song, Noordeman came up with the idea to make an animated video drawn entirely by hand, and blended with video of the MC. The concept was to make an animated sketchbook, like a diary reflecting the personal story of the artist. The process began with Noordeman shooting video of Breez on his NYC rooftop and at his studio in DUMBO. The filmmaker then printed 100 frames of video at a time so he could carry the printouts around with him, sketching the individual frames in pencil whenever he had a chance. Noordeman then transitioned to to brush-painted animation, while his partner Christie Wright conceived of an animated ink-drawn line to tie the different elements together. The result is a mix of live-action and hand-drawn animation that tells the story of an MC striving to maintain a unique voice in a sea of cookie-cutter commercial hooks.
In an age where sophisticated computer graphics can be produced at the touch of a button, this video proves that the hand of an artist can still be relevant - in fact the roughly 3,000 hand-rendered frames represent a departure from today's digital effects standard, and a return to a time where honest and hard-practiced skills made the difference between amateurs and professionals. Unmasked by sophisticated tricks, the hand-drawn frames show you everything that went into this video, much like the way Breez focuses his songs on the quality of writing and intentional avoidance of vocal gimmickry prevalent in so much hip-hop today.
"I know" is track 2 off the full length album "Breez Deez Treez". Music by Daveytree. Video directed, animated and produced by Arjen Noordeman, Elasticbrand. elasticbrand.net Roughly 3000 frames were drawn by hand for this video. Live action portion was shot in DUMBO, Brooklyn.

Kane & Abel’s story didn’t start or stop in the studio. They found success in filming urban DVDs. “We started producing our own videos and figured that a movie wouldn't be too much harder. So we started with Da Block Party” Daniel (Abel) adds. They have produced, written, and starred in several films including Death Toll starring DMX, Leila Arcieri, and Lou Diamond Phillips, as well as Father of Lies starring Vivica Fox, DMX, and Clifton Powell.
