DIY HIP HOP HEADS BIN LADEN BLOWIN’ UP RELEASE HIGHLY CONTROVERSIAL MIXTAPE

bbu2_prThe heart of Chicago’s DIY hip hop scene pumps out the arteries of three ravenous Emcees - Epic, Illekt and Jasson Perez - who make up the bombastic hip-hop trio Bin Laden Blowin’ Up (BBU). With arrestingly catchy beats and hard-hitting lyrics, the boys of BBU are pleased to announce the release of their debut mixtape, FEAR OF A CLEAR CHANNEL PLANET set to drop March 1st,  presented by Ruby Hornet and available on www.FOCCP.com.

BBU consists of three close friends from the streets of Chicago who aim to sprinkle gems of knowledge and communicating their message through raucous shows and vivacious energy. When asked why BBU do what they do, Jasson Perez states that for BBU it is about “making a connection to the culture, to the movement.” Aside from their hectic schedule, the group remains close to their roots and still finds time to stay active in the community and raise funds for various local charities and causes.

The mixtape’s opening track “BB Who” hammers listeners with spitfire rhymes and a stampeding beat that’s tied together by a cheering, home team chorus of shouting girls. Without a lull, the mixtape ensues with a bum rush of bounce and gristle as it features the current internet smash “Chi Don’t Dance” which recently received an 8.0 out of 10 for best new tracks and proclaimed a “bona fide summer jam” by Pitchfork. Shortly after, The Washington Postclaimed the same song as being “one of the year’s most criminally overlooked tracks” and “More infectious than H1N1″ from Time Out Chicago. The BBU sound is a concoction that can best be paralleled to Das Racist’s shameless amusement with the militant backbone of Dead Prez and the danceability of Spank Rock.

BBU’s reputation as a restless touring hip-hop group has allowed them to smother the map with their brandishing of subversive lyrics and infectious dance beats. From their CMJ showcase in NYC to the packed parties at colleges in the Midwest, and even their 2009 Lollapalooza appearance performing “Chi Don’t Dance” with Hollywood Holt, BBU are consistently racking up points for their explosive live show and insatiable hunger for the MIC. Artists alike have also taken notice of the BBU’s Pandora’s box of tunes, which has secured them some stage sharing time with the likes Diplo, Wale, Buraka Som Sistema, Dead Prez, The Cool Kids, DJ Sega, and Jean Grae.

Be sure, for all those in the Chicago area, to check out the Mixtape release party on February 27th at theSubterranean. And for all those flocking to SXSW this March, you can catch BBU storming through the festival with a slew of head-turning performances.

JACK SPLASH DROPS KING OF THE BEATS!

king-of-the-beats-frontTHE SECOND OF THREE MIXTAPE/ALBUMS COMPRISED OF ALL ORGINAL COMPOSITIONS RELEASED TODAY

Download Here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?5ztymtx3yjt

Today documents the release of Jack Splash’s, King Of The Beats, the second of three mixtapes to be released before the much-anticipated full-length album and film, Technology And Love Might Save Us All… out in May on J-Records.

In the past few months, Jack Splash has bombarded the music world with 90’s throwback rap tracks and futuristic synth-pop hooks.  King Of The Beats reminds you that Jack is capable of such songs, but also takes you further down the rabbit hole to reveal instrumental tracks like, “Disko Labyrinth” and “The Funhouse Has Mirrors,” that sound as if they came straight off a Lamont Dozier album.

It’s no question why Jack Splash decided to call the second installment of mixtapes, King Of The Beats.  Not only has Jack Splash compiled an impressive amount of songs to release before an official album, every song is an original composition created by the man himself.   Each track has been carefully crafted and produced by the same hands that created music for such talented artists as Jennifer Hudson, T-Pain, Estelle, Jamie Foxx, Missy Elliott, Jamine Sullivan, Shakira, Britney Spears and more.  Truly, King of the Beats.

These are not ‘pop’ songs. These are not video singles. These are not Top 10 hits.

This is the heart and soul of why I do what I do when I do it. This is a personal offering.

It’s my huge THANK YOU to all of the people who have supported the Eternia & MoSS: “ROAD TO RELEASE” video episodes online over the last 6 months. I hand-picked these songs from the past decade, b/c I felt they are overlooked, they are the most personal to my life, and they reveal my growth as an artist.

To those that this mix was made for: ENJOY.

humbly,

e.
