This has been something I’ve been working on lately and am having some fun with. Custom widgets/media players. I put this together as opposed to doing a boring video playlist with the collection of videos that made up the series titled “QP’s Tour of Cleveland”. Let me know what you think!

“The funny thing behind this [Black comedian rant video] is, I didn’t even come up with this whole thing. It came from a place called Element Nine which is a Hip-Hop marketing company. Don’t you wanna know the story behind it and how the whole thing happened?”

Element 9 Announces Dial-A-Deal Talent Search

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Contact: Stu Pflaum @ Element 9.0 LLC (646) 924-3420

ELEMENT 9 PARTNERS WITH SMC RECORDINGS AND FONTANA DISTRIBUTION TO ANNOUNCE

DIAL-A-DEAL TALENT SEARCH

Element 9 Muzik LLC, a newly-founded urban record label, has unveiled an innovative approach to collecting demo submissions from aspiring artists.

Partnering with web Technology Company, Saynow, the label has developed Dial-A-Deal, which allows artists to display their talent live over a dedicated phone line. The innovative approach allows Element 9’s talent scouts to hear a live stream from artists in any location.

Element 9 Muzik headed by industry veteran, Tony “X” Franklin, has agreed in principle to a deal with San Francisco based SMC Recordings to distribute a selection of releases which will be managed by Fontana Distribution/Universal Music Group.

The Dial-A-Deal concept was developed by Element 9 Founder, Stu “Xplosive” Pflaum, a 26-year-old who has quickly proven the value of youthful leadership in the industry. Pflaum started out as an intern working with Franklin’s street team and lifestyle marketing division at Asylum Records. He left to form the Element 9 Recordings Publishing Company and scored a quick success by publishing the recent Grammy-nominated hit “Crank That” by recording artist Soulja Boy.

Pflaum’s Element 9.0 Online Media Company will power the promotions and publicity for the contest, which is expect to draw a great deal of interest from artists. The company has previously managed online campaigns for a number of high-profile urban acts and is credited with running the online promotions that attracted major label attention to Soulja Boy while he was an unsigned artist.

Element 9 has announced the contest will run through September. However, many artists will see perks along the way. SMC Recordings plans to offer select entrants a chance to appear as featured artists on their upcoming releases. Additionally, Element 9.0 will provide free online marketing services to aid potential Element 9 artists. The exact terms of a potential record deal are not being disclosed at this time to assure more flexibility for all parties. According to Pflaum, “the open-ended nature of the opportunity serves the best interest of the artists by not putting a public price tag on display, and at the same time assures the stakes will rise for the artists based on how fierce the competition gets.”

I guess since I don’t do too many live gigs these days (for now…) sometimes I feel the need to catch some rec, probably because a lot of the stuff I do is behind the scenes. So I’ve gotta set up stuff like this blog for my own gratification. Here’s a hot design I just did for my Grown Money Ent homies in the ATL, Young Snead & Yae High.

Also, as I posted this, got an email from Mixunit announcing Joe Budden’s “Mood Muzik 3″ is available now. If any of ya’ll only know Joey from “Pump It Up”, wake the f**k up!!! “Mood Muzik 2″ was one of the best mixtapes to EVER drop! Check for this one. I’m not trying to start a debate on battle rappers, but Joe can definitely go toe to toe with your favorite lyricist. I’ll try to get a review done in the next day or two.
