Dubbed the queen of the underground by XXL magazine, Paula has worked with DJ Premier, Easy Mo Bee, DR Period, Lost Boyz, Brian McKnight, Kelly Price & Tina Turner. Her CD titled "The Godmommy" is due to hit stores in April.
D'Cyple, from Wisconsin has emerged as one of the most intense MCs hip hop has heard to date. With comparisons to Tupac Shakur, D'Cyple has incredible songs that show his true emotion by featuring deep lyrics. Yet his lyrics are also very accessible and relatable. A true underground veteran, his first 2 albums, "D'cyple" & "No One Knows" are available in stores all over the world. His latest CD "For My People" will be in stores by the end of April.
Mugzy's, The Villain is available now at all stores that allow downloads, streams and ringtones. The Villain will be released in stores next month. The rough and rugged power of this album has already garnered great reviews with many media outlets. The entire CD is featured throughout all of March at the Sony Connect music store.
B.L.O, the Bronx NY native has one of the most authentic debut albums Urban Music has heard in a long time. "Da Ghetto SupaStar" is a great mix of what can be compared to old school Hip Hop with a great flair to attract brand new Hip Hop fans. B.L.O is a well respected veteran in the industry as one of the few MCs in the underground that appeal to both mainstream & underground fans. An undeniably talented lyricist with great versatility that comes through in every song.
Capt. Crunk, a unique hip hop superstar, shows its real self with a brand new CD that takes listeners on a sick and twisted ride into the mind of a former drug lord kingpin. His debut album "It's A Hell Of A Drug" has a bemused and frenzied style that shows his outstanding freestyle rap. Crunk grew up on the streets in the Bronx and his music will turn heads with its incredibly maniacal style.
Skee is one of New England's most prolific MCs that has ever come out of that area. Skee's rapid fire, hard hitting lyrics are loved by a large underground fan base creating a diehard and loyal group of followers. His four titles previously released on his own will be collectively released on Sunset Urban Records on "Rhyme Writing: The Evolution of Skee." Skee is set to release his new CD "Fine Line" in the second quarter this year.
Kingsbridge Dee is one of the smoothest vocalists to hit the New York Hip Hop scene in a long time. The smooth delivery and melodic flow in his songs are accessible to his incredible (mostly female) fan base. His debut album, "The KBD Experience" is set to be in stores later this year.
Netherlands native Channell is the beloved Dutch singer/songwriter that is living a dream by combining a style that combines R&B and Pop. Channell's talent is shown in every song on her upcoming album due to hit the streets in May.
L. Myers released the full length Infinity CD last month. T he CD is an effortless eloquence and smooth persona of a top Hip Hop artist. The music of L. Myers has defined the true meaning of American soul. Like his hometown godfathers, this Philadelphia native has a deep voice and unique style that captures the vibe of vintage Hip Hop music without sounding old fashioned. On Infinity, that blend can clearly be heard throughout the entire CD.
Sunset Urban Records has quickly emerged as an up and coming fully serviceable indie record label. Don Lichterman, the head of the entire Sunset Label Group started the Urban music division last year with the help of industry veteran Rod Millwood along with A&R Exec's Ronald C. Bullock and Rejean Germain. Sunset Urban also has many catalog titles, home video titles and special markets titles being released this year.
