Seattle, WA. (Top40 Charts/ Jake Records) - Jake Records today, in association with Takeover
Music Group, announces the worldwide release of the album "Jiggy" by Northern California recording artist Jiggy. The self-titled album was released today on the iTunes music store, and is also available at Amazon.com, Napster, Rhapsody and several others.
Jiggy, a well-known radio station DJ at Northern California station Power 94 (KEWB), has been a musical force in the state for years. He won the 2005 Modesto Music Awards "Best Hip Hop Artist" category, and won the 2006 Stockton Hip Hop Awards for the same. His catchy singles have received airplay up and down the state earning him a reputation for his fun Hip Hop lyrics and fresh style. Not to be confused with the average MC of today, Jiggy brings a certain pop flare to his music. Never one to avoid a battle, Jiggy also carries a reputation for being a skilled freestyle rapper.
Noteable singles on this album include "Irresistible" a fun track with a throwback vibe musically, the single is both catchy and worth bobbing your head to. Jiggy shows off his shoe obsession in the aptly named "Nikes" track, and goes a bit darker on the "They Wanna Hate" single, making light of those who would hate on a successful MC.
"Jiggy represents everything I'd love to see Hip Hop become right now," said Jake Records founder and CEO Scott Thomas. "Today's Hip Hop lacks a fun quality that I think Jiggy picks up on very well. No matter the topic, you enjoy listening to this record because it's not dark and full of useless repetitive lyrics," he adds.
The album can be downloaded digitally at iTunes and Amazon.com, or physical copies of the disc are for sale at www.jiggysworld.com. The album has pre-sold over 300 copies via Jiggy's MySpace page.
