• Mr. CG Inks Deal with HiTz Committee/Jive Records
• “Boogie Board 9000″ Single Sparks Dance Craze!
• Teen Star to Debut Solo Album in 2010

Carbondale, IL — At just 17-years-old, Mr. CG is already a veteran in the music industry. In 2008, Mr. CG teamed with Minneapolis-based label Hudson Records to release “Boogie Board 9000,” followed by a remix featuring California’s New Boyz. Fan-made viral videos for the dance track inundated the net in 2009, and just after completing his own viral video, HiTz Committee Entertainment and Jive Records snapped up the teen to release his solo debut album.

Mr. CG began writing songs, producing, singing and rapping when he was 10-years-old. Encouraged by his parents, the young prodigy found ways to capture the energy of his generation in song. By 2007, CG enjoyed success as a member of the Pop It Off Boyz, with their Hip Hop dance hit “Crank Dat Batman” on Universal Records. The video appeared on BET’s “106 & Park,” and garnered generous radio play nationwide.

Eager to express himself to the fullest, Mr. CG set out on his own in 2008, and signed on with NBA pro Troy Hudson’s imprint. They recorded the dance-inspired hit “Boogie Board 9000,” complete with an instructional video from CG. A remix with Warner Bros. duo New Boyz followed, and it was just a matter of time before fans and major labels started taking note.

“Honestly I just want to earn respect,” expresses Mr. CG. “Most of these new people aren’t earning respect. I listen to Miley Cyrus, The Jonas Brothers, Taylor Swift, and all of the pop artists. I would love to work with them. We appeal to a crowd that older people can’t catch – they’re not gonna do it like we gonna do it.”

In November, 2009, Mr. CG solidified the deal for his solo debut with MeMpHiTz at HiTz Committee and Jive Records. They will be filming the official “Boogie Board 9000” video in January 2010 with celebrity dance cameos, and the album is slated for release in Summer 2010.

“Simply put, Mr. CG is the future of Hip Hop,” says MeMpHiTz. “It’s easy to try and write him off until you actually hear his body of work. After my first listen, my reaction was reminiscent to the first time I listened to T-Pain. I was mesmerized, and my doubts were silenced by his artistic talent and breadth of material. I think Mr. CG can comfortably take his own lane and crush the game if all forces necessary are behind him. I sincerely thank Troy Hudson/Hudson Group Entertainment for deciding to bring Mr. CG into business with HiTz Committee Entertainment/Jive Records – I definitely have big plans for Mr. CG.”

ABOUT MR. CG

Dance crazes, skinny jeans, delicious twists on American slang and colorful accessories are all a part of the new-age influence on today’s popular music. Call it a renaissance if you will, as young people fuse splashes of Hip Hop, rock, punk and pop culture regenerated from the ‘80s and early ‘90s to create their own exciting new scene.

At just 17-years-old, songwriter/producer Mr. CG is creating another part of what will one day be a historic era. His current single “Boogie Board 9000” has fans across the country going wild with their versions of the dance video. Once a member of the Pop It Off Boyz, known for their hit single “Crank Dat Batman,” Mr. CG is no stranger to the spotlight.

As he prepares his solo debut album in conjunction with Hudson Records and Jive Records, the young performer is ready to unleash his futuristic cross-genre style on the world.

By the time he was 10-years-old, the Carbondale, Illinois native was set up with a studio from his encouraging parents. Mr. CG’s cousin helped him get a start on operating the equipment, and his fate was sealed. He began writing songs influenced by a variety of artists, and began to build a sound that he now describes as “a walking MP3 player.”

“I have everything to give to everyone, I can do anything when it comes to music,” CG says confidently. “To describe it in a word, I’m spazzing. My music is just like spazzed out. I travel everywhere and pick up a lot of different styles, then I make up my own style. I would say The Dream, Drake and Michael Jackson have influenced me the most.”

While “Boogie Board 9000” is a certified club hit, Mr. CG will bring a blend of styles to his full-length album. He has a very specific vision, even if he can’t fully convey it just yet. “I’m producing my own stuff for this project, but taking in from other producers as well,” he explains. “When I get in the studio and get ready to make tracks, it’s already there… I can hear it and visualize it before I even get to the studio. So it’s like when I touch the keyboard I already know what’s gonna come out.”

“When I created ‘Boogie Board 9000’, I went down to Atlanta because I wanted to feel the vibe down there,” he continues. “My friends Motion Sickness had a dance called Boogie Board 9000, and I was like ‘I should make a song out of that.’ When I listened to the Atlanta type of rap vibe, and how you could still sing too, I went in the studio and got a beat, put it together and it was real good.

“The follow-up single is called “G Shock” featuring Rich Kids out of Atlanta. They’re signed to T.I.’s Grand Hustle label. It’s a real nice song – it’s pretty different. We’re trying to see if we could set up a deal to promote the G-Shock watches along with the song. I think that would be very great.”

Mr. CG prefers the life of a solo artist over being in a group, and he’s ready to accept responsibility for his work, and for his generation. “Everything changes every day, and Hip-Hop is changing. Everything that’s coming out now represents what us teens do. You’ll see a lot of people coming in real young that can’t rap, produce, sing and do other types of music and make it sound good. I just make everything sound good.”

Episode Summary…

Over twenty million people have died from AIDS since its cause, HIV, was discovered in 1981. Though leading scientists worldwide have dedicated their life’s work to understanding the virus, its genetic complexity is unprecedented and a cure is still beyond reach. This month on IN THE LIFE, we speak with scientists working tirelessly for a cure, advocates speaking out about the stigma of HIV, and look at the success of a cutting edge prevention effort to stop the spread of the disease.

The Trials of a Vaccine

Throughout history, no viral disease has been cured without a vaccine, and HIV/AIDS is no exception. Though we have the tools for living with HIV, education, behavior change and treatment, the development of an HIV vaccine remains the only hope for eradicating the virus. Finding this magic bullet, however, has proven to be harder than anyone ever imagined.

A CONVERSATION WITH… Kenneth Cole and Regan Hoffman

Kenneth Cole, fashion designer, chairman of the board of the Foundation for AIDS Research and a social marketing pioneer since the beginning of the AIDS epidemic, discusses the stigma surrounding HIV with Regan Hoffman, editor-in-chief of POZ magazine and the author of “I Have Something To Tell You,” a memoir which chronicles her life upon discovering she was HIV-positive.

The Success of “HIV Is Still A Big Deal”

A year after we featured HIV is Still a Big Deal, a series of online HIV prevention films produced by the Public Health Solutions and NYU, we take a fresh look at the success of this series. Thanks in part to a partnership with Manhunt, an online dating and social networking site for gay men, the series has become an internationally effective intervention tool.

Creating Solutions will begin airing December 1st and be available for free video streaming and downloadable podcasts from the IN THE LIFE website on December 2nd. To find out when it will air in your local area, to stream or download it, go to www.inthelifetv.org.

The following press release is from Michelle A. Bart, freelance writer (helpingheroes@earthlink.net).

November 23, 2009 — Tonight’s America Music Awards was like no other I have ever experience; kudos to Dick Clark Productions for an emotional, empowering, and entertaining production! The set-designs were awesome and applause to Larry Klein for suburb direction! I see an Emmy for this award show!

I have had the opportunity of attending the AMA’s three times, never once did I come away from the show feeling as I did tonight! The empowering performances from American Idols’ to Alicia Keys & Jay-Z to the unforgettable opening performance of Janet Jackson; the show was definitely a crowd pleaser! The hidden message of never letting go of your dreams (whether in New York or anywhere else) and the encouragement of many performers who fell on tough times only to come back with a bang was perfectly delivered to audiences across the world!

The tear jerker of Whitney’s performance…well, I’m speechless. What a powerful and empowering performance and message! All of us have gone down the wrong road once in our life (no matter what that path may have been), its how we come back that matters. I had the honor of meeting and working with Whitney back in the early 90’s, a fascinating lady with a voice that touches your heart and reaches into your soul, nothing was ever so true than tonight’s performance! “Welcome back Whitney, you were never gone, just on a break.”

The come backs for Janet, Rihanna, and Whitney among others were a hit and gives hope to others who have lost a loved one, have fallen prey to drugs, or are a victim to domestic violence. The encouragement these musical divas have instilled in thousands watching tonight will hopefully be a helping voice for many suffering in the world tonight.

DCP and ABC congratulations on a first rate and an entertaining production! Despite the unnecessary words for certain audiences, the entire three-hour award show deserves a standing ovation!

While it might not have made the Billboard Top 100 when it was originally released in 1992, but “Straighten It Out” by Pete Rock and CL Smooth, from their LP “Mecca and the Soul Brother,” still got its fair share of spins on the radio and in the clubs at the time.  Hip hop heads then and now consider “Straighten It Out” a classic from Pete Rock and CL Smooth alongside “They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)” and “On and On.”

Like many hip hop artists in the early 90s explosion, it’s hard to find a whole lot of info on them if they faded from the limelight shortly thereafter.  The same seems to be true for Pete Rock and CL Smooth.  I’ve read that they released a few albums, broke up and reunited a few times over the years.  I did see a recent video performance from them on November 9, 2009 in London that was posted on Okayplayer.com.

In any case, this definitely takes me back to my earliest days at Morgan State- parties in the ballroom at McKeldin Center or down in the basement that was the game room at the time (eventually the bookstore and now who knows what).  I have to thank DJ Patrick Scientific (twitter: patscience, website: www.patrickscientific.com) who replied to my tweet this morning with this Throwback Friday song request.  He knows about those parties at McKeldin and has had an ongoing radio spot spinning house music on Morgan State’s radio station WEAA 88.9 FM on Saturday mornings from 1:00 AM to 4:00 AM.

Here’s this week’s Throwback Friday “Straighten It Out” by Pete Rock and CL Smooth.  Big up to DJ Patrick Scientific!

Look y’all! Diggy is growing up.

It can’t be easy being the fourth oldest child within a family where everyone has made a name for themselves while trying to make your own name stand out as more than just “Lil Diggy.” Diggy feels people always think he has it easy so a rap career should be a piece of cake, but he’s attempting to show his own color. Aside from the much talked about clothing line, Space Cadet, Diggy is dropping his first mix-tape, “The First Flight.”

“The 1st Flight” dropping on November 27 at midnight, is material ALL written by Diggy with the first track entitled, “Point to Prove.”

Download “Point to Prove” below and comment with your thoughts.

http://usershare.net/sfqnrjb16hhc

Hot or Not?

In my opinion, Diggy’s definitely inherited his family’s rap skills. Lyrically, “Point to Prove” makes perfect sense and a great way for him to lead out. Musically, the beats are simple enough that they don’t take away from the song’s message. I think it’ll resonate with young people who aren’t even from famous families, but just feel lost in the shadows of the siblings or accomplishments of family members before them.  Go Diggy, Go Diggy, Go!

Ashley Llorens AKA "SoulStice"

I love to see engineers like SoulStice, me, and others doing their thing creatively as well. Peep this excerpt from his Myspace page:

To say that SoulStice spits knowledge would be an understatement; after all, he does have a Masters Degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering and holds down a position with the Department of Defense. Yet, SoulStice loves the unique challenge of balancing his high-powered “day job” and his passion for hip hop.

“The Blind Side” Is In Theaters 11-20-09

After releasing North By Northwest (2005) and Dead Letter Perfect in 2007 (which have led to features on SoulStice in XXL Magazine, The Source, Urb, various other key urban publications and websites), SoulStice returned in 2009 with Beyond Borders, an “international concept album” featuring beats crafted by Belgian producer SBe and vocal collaborations with G.L.C., Kev Brown, Zap Mama, Oddisee and Supastition and included blog favorites “Chi Worldwide Remix” f/G.L.C. & Naledge (Kidz In The Hall) and the controversial “Strange Kind of Love.”

With the promotion of the upcoming Warner Brothers biopic “The Blind Side” in full-gear, SoulStice has been chosen for inclusion on the soundtrack with his new song “That Thang,” a track crafted by SoulStice and producer Mighty Wyte specifically for the movie.

“The Blind Side” is the uplifting true story of Michael Oher, a homeless youngster from a broken home, taken in by the Touhys, a well-to-do white family who help him fulfill his potential. At the same time, Oher’s presence in the Touhys’ lives leads them to some insightful self-discoveries of their own. Living in his new environment, the teen faces a completely different set of challenges to overcome. As a football player and student, Oher works hard and, with the help of his coaches and adopted family, becomes an All-American offensive left tackle at the University of Mississippi and earlier this year he became a 1^st round draft pick of the NFL’s Baltimore Ravens.

“The Blind Side” stars Sandra Bullock (she’s already getting early Oscar buzz for her performance in the movie), Tim McGraw and Oscar winner Kathy Bates.  For an indie artist to be selected to create a track for a major Hollywood studio picture is a weighty endorsement and one that forced SoulStice out of his creative comfort zone, giving him a chance to demonstrate his versatility as an artist.  The opportunity and honor was not lost on SoulStice as he states “As an independent artist, placing a song in a Major Motion picture is a big deal.  It’s a co-sign from a major Hollywood studio – a sign that we’re doing something right.  This particular song is an artistic achievement for me because I’m portraying a character with a lifestyle that’s not necessarily my own.  That’s nothing new for hip-hop, unfortunately, but it is new for me.  I’m glad I was able to help give the movie what it needed.”
