New Lupe Music...

I've been killing the politics this week since I've been back from Cali.... So here's some GOOD music for ya'll!

"HARD @ WORK" AGAIN!

So less then a week since the Release of NJ Recording artist F.A.M.E. "Hard+Work" I get a leak that the boy is back to work putting it down lyrically on some new tracks!

The world is taking notice as he was recently plugged by Jermain Dupree's TAG records "Spotlight Section"

You can also catch him Rocking the mic with Brooklyn Radio's own Holley Monelle Check the Podcast and the Blog Cuz We Said So!

F.A.M.E. "HARD+WORK" downloaded 20K times in 24hrs?!?!?

What's good folk? As those of you know, who are on my mailing list for events, and pertinent info related to my company GDMworldwide, yesterday was the release of F.A.M.E. sophomore album "Hard+Work" well this morning I woke up to several messages relating that the album which was provided for FREE has been downloaded 20,000 times within 24 hours! Currently I'm waiting for detailed response to make sure how accurate this is, but from the spike in web volume I was sent.... it looks like "Viral Music Marketing" is paying off for the up and coming artist!

Many independent bloggers, and websites have done stories from around the globe, mixed with his digital graphic design fans, this is taking off like no other independent buzz!

For those not on the mailing list, or the blogs, or myspace, or under a rock below is the letter mailed yesterday to approximately 5,000 people, and fwd an unknown number of times......

Hello All,

Today is the official release of the sophomore album from NJ recording
artist F.A.M.E. "Hard+Work! This album is the culmination of many efforts
to put forth GOOD, QUALITY, UPLIFTING music. This brother put together an
album Free of negative promotion, misogyny, or use of the N-word. We are
hoping you will listen, and pass it forward.

No longer can we express disdain for the quality of music supplied, if we
don't promote those that put out what we ask for. Please support these
efforts!

The album is available FREE for download here : http://www.gdmworldwide.com/hwdownload.html

""Hard+Work" is the rapper's second LP and plays like a feel-good
A Tribe Called Quest era-classic while at the same time not sounding
dated. The first track, "If I Ever Leave", sets the tone for what turns
out to be a satisfying ride though Fame's lyrical representation
of"I'm-doing-my-best-to-survive-in-a crooked world" mindset."

"Up and coming New Jersey City artist F.A.M.E is someone you should
make yourself familiar with. His second Album dropping for free 8.05.08 entitled
"Hard Work" proves that F.A.M.E works harder than most and very is unique. He
uses his graphic and musical talent together to create a different composition.
Every track has an image that accompanies ever track. It is a free download from myspace.com/jerseyfame check it out and leave comment on what
you think."


Thank you for your time, and have a great day!

Now all of you that know me know that I have been supporting NJ Recording Artist F.A.M.E. and often drop some exclusives from Him before they hit the rest of the web.... Well StopBeingFamous.com has taken notice of him and check out their latest interview.....

Oh and The-Drunkmonkey blog got a shout out! We see you F.A.M.E.!!!!!!

"Hard+Work" is the rapper's second LP and plays like a feel-good A Tribe Called Quest era-classic while at the same time not sounding dated. The first track, "If I Ever Leave", sets the tone for what turns out to be a satisfying ride though Fame's lyrical representation of"I'm-doing-my-best-to-survive-in-a crooked world" mindset.
The track "Good Robot" successfully proves that F.A.M.E. can not only be versatile but also fearless. Here, he is rhyming over a Jungle/EDM/electronic dance beat and it works.
I enjoyed listening to "Hard+Work" so much that I contacted Fame for an interview and, wouldn't you know, he was more than happy to answer a few questions.... CONT...

GOOD Music

With non violent music on the rise in the hip hop community we are now seeing artists team up more and more on colaberations in the process of cross promotion as well as making better and better music. We see the Glow in the Dark Concerts with Kanye, N.E.R.D., and Lupe have gotten crazy feedback on how good the show is.

The growing number of hip hoppers reaching their mid 20s and up have seen a maturing of style and content that seems to be trickling down into current new and up and coming artists. In my opinion this is a great step towards progressive change. Now don't get me wrong I listen to many artists considered gangster rap, and enjoy the songs and the wordplay in the outlandish things said, however too many people are making this type of music lifestyle a reality. So my bottom line point is Support Good Music!
