Hip Hop Artist Kardier Takes A Step Away From The In-Crowd

ATLANTA, GA. (Pittman & Hawkins Music Group) - Pittman & Hawkins Music Group is pleased to announce their new release by Hip Hop recording artist Kardier titled Pictures. Kardier's line-up of songs is clever, thought provoking, and may be best described as "Kanye West meets 2pac and Nas with a hint of smooth R&B". Pictures goes against the mainstream grain, and proves that Hip Hop music can be modernized without compromising its original aesthetics.

Kardier, hailing from Atlanta by way of Mississippi, has performed in concert with such music stars as Destinys Child and Sean Paul, and has worked with producer Devante Swing of the 90's R&B group Jodeci. Having been influenced by several Hip Hop greats that built their careers on impeccable story telling, Kardier produced Pictures as if it were an audio photo album. Kardier says, "I like to refer to my music as Reality Music, and since a picture is worth a thousand words I wanted every song on the album to tell a real story; explaining a picture in someone's life. Whether it's a party or a heartfelt song, someone somewhere can take something positive from it. The title of the album comes from the many pictures in our lives that tell a tale of what once was, or could be".

The album includes songs that reflect a variety of moods, stories and scenarios for a wide range of listeners. His primary goal is to create music that transcends all boundaries, and that people worldwide can relate to. His hit single "Down Girl" and other songs like "Money" and "Spanish Fly" exemplify his approach. Kardier has shows planned throughout the 2008 summer and fall months, and is currently receiving radio airplay on WRFG 89.3FM in Atlanta, GA. Pictures is currently available for purchase at CD Baby, iTunes and many other online digital retail sites.
