Guests on new album include Mariah Carey (on second single, “My Love” impacting at Rhythm and Urban on March 2nd), Kanye West, and Lil’ Jon

THE-DREAM COMPLETES SECOND ALBUM, LOVE vs. MONEY, SET FOR MARCH 10th RELEASE ON RADIO KILLA/DEF JAM

(Feb. 17, 2009 – New York, NY) After proving himself throughout 2007-2008 as a masterful hit songwriter for an A-list of stars including Rihanna (“Umbrella”), Mariah Carey (“Touch My Body”), J. Holiday (“The Bed,” “Suffocate”), and Beyoncé (“Single Ladies”) – to name a few! –The-Dream announces the completion of his second album, LOVE vs. MONEY, arriving in the physical and digital marketplace on March 10th.

“Rockin’ That Thang,” the first single from LOVE vs. MONEY, rises to #4-bullet this week on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Total Mediabase Urban and Rhythmic audience for “Rockin’ That Thang” jumps to over 50 million this week, with over 6,700 spins. A special Rap Remix was released two weeks ago, featuring the ‘Def Jam All-Stars’ lineup of Fabolous, Juelz Santana, Rick Ross and Ludacris. The video for “Rockin’ That Thang” was recently shot with Norwegian director Ray Kay, whose credits include The-Dream’s debut smash of last year, “Shawty Is A 10″ featuring Fabolous.

“My Love” featuring Mariah Carey, the second single from LOVE vs. MONEY, is set to impact at Rhythm and Urban radio formats on March 2nd. Although officially unreleased as yet, the track is already taking off at Top 40. The video for “My Love” was shot in Los Angeles two weeks ago, directed by Nick Cannon.

LOVE vs. MONEY is follows-up The-Dream’s RIAA gold Radio Killa/Def Jam debut album Love Hate (released December 2007). The album’s back-to-back hits dominated 2008, including “Shawty Is A 10″ featuring Fabolous (Top 10 R&B); “Falsetto” (#3 R&B); and “I Luv Your Girl” (#1 Rhythmic, #3 R&B). The-Dream finished out the year by winning Best New Artist honors at the annual BET Awards – in addition to his Grammy Award nomination for Song Of The Year for “Umbrella” (as songwriter), and American Music Award nomination for Breakthrough Artist of the Year.

Executive produced by Island Def Jam chairman Antonio “L.A.” Reid and co-produced by The-Dream and Tricky Stewart with Carlos “LOS” McKinney, LOVE vs. MONEY is a futuristic mix of radio bangin’ hooks that define this era as much as The-Dream’s hero Sam Cooke defined the ’60s and Prince defined the ’80s. “The LOVE vs. MONEY songs are rife with layered vocals, sensual yet comical lyrics and wall-shaking bass,” wrote Billboard last month. “‘Sweat It Out’ concerns a night of lovemaking, while ‘Let Me See the Booty’ boasts strip club-ready lyrics while Lil’ Jon provides his trademark yelling in the background.” In addition to Lil’ Jon, the only other guests on the album are Kanye West (“Walkin’ On The Moon”) and Mariah Carey (“My Love”).

The final track listing for LOVE vs. MONEY is as follows: 1. Rockin’ That Thang * 2. Walkin’ On The Moon” featuring Kanye West * 3. My Love featuring Mariah Carey * 4. Put It Down * 5. Sweat It Out * 6. Take U Home 2 My Mama * 7. Love Vs. Money * 8. Love Vs. Money: Part 2 * 9. Fancy * 10. Right Side Of My Brain * 11. Mr. Yeah * 12. Kelly’s 12 Play * 13. Let Me See The Booty featuring Lil Jon * 14. Touch & Feel * 15. Nothing But Love.

The-Dream exploded in 2007 as the go-to songwriter behind two of the year’s biggest hits, Rihanna’s worldwide #1 smash “Umbrella” and J. Holiday’s breakout debut “Bed,” as well as J’s follow-up “Suffocate.” The-Dream’s streak continued in 2008 with Mariah Carey’s “Touch My Body,” and several other high-profile tracks: “You” from Chris Brown’s album Exclusive; “Skies of L.A.,” the climactic closing track of Celine Dion’s Taking Chances; “Just Fine,” the first single from Mary J. Blige’s Growing Pains; and “Moving Mountains” from Usher’s Where I Stand.

While The-Dream (Terius Youngdell Nash) seemed like the overnight success story of 2007, he’s been at it for the better part of a decade. After meeting and partnering with fellow-Atlantian Tricky Stewart, the two soon achieved notoriety as writer/producers on B2K’s Pandemonium! album, and “Me Against The Music,” the timely 2003 duet by Britney Spears and Madonna. Four years later, The-Dream and Tricky were “suddenly one of the most in-demand songwriting teams in urban music,” according to USA Today.

In March 2008, The-Dream commenced the first major cross-country North American tour of his career, when he joined Mary J. Blige and Jay-Z for their “Heart Of The City” tour. The 22-city U.S. and Canadian tour climaxed in May with three homecoming concerts at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

LOVE vs. MONEY begins the next chapter of The-Dream’s odyssey, as he stands ready to surpass the accomplishments of his 2007 debut. “It took me awhile to know that the new album is better than the first one,” he says. “But it is. So now we know what you’re capable of, we know how many songs you’ve written for everybody, and you know we’re gonna do it again!”

Two of the most celebrated vocalists in pop and R&B history, McCoo and Davis have received seven Grammy Awards and earned 15 gold and three platinum records, and enjoyed starring roles on television and stage. They have performed to sold-out concerts around the world, and this tour recognizes their deep history with sounds of R&B, Gospel, Jazz and Pop.

As lead vocalists of one of the top singing groups of the late 1960s and early 1970s, The 5th Dimension, they recorded such classics as “Up, Up & Away,” “Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In,” “Wedding Bell Blues,” “One Less Bell To Answer” and “Stoned Soul Picnic” to name a few.

After a decade with The 5th Dimension, Billy & Marilyn decided to leave the group and establish themselves as a duo. They had immediate success with the single, “You Don’t Have To Be A Star (To Be In My Show).” It was a #1 hit and earned them a Grammy for Best R&B Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group.

Multiple television and stage opportunities soon followed, including the CBS prime time program “The Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis Jr. Show,” McCoo’s five years as host of “Solid Gold” and Davis’ acclaimed portrayal of James “Thunder” Early in “Dreamgirls.”

Nashville, Tenn. (PRWEB) January 27, 2009 — International, multi-platinum R&B sensation Alicia Keys and the world’s largest musical instrument manufacturer, Yamaha, announced a new partnership to distribute piano-inspired sounds and future products. One of the sounds was introduced on Jan. 17, 2009 for an intimate gathering of press and dealers in the Yamaha booth at the Winter NAMM music product industry trade show in Anaheim, Calif.

The project was an intense collaboration between the 11-time Grammy Award winning Yamaha artist, her Grammy Award winning engineer Ann Mincielli, and renowned plug-in designer Thomas Hansen Scarbee, who all worked hand in hand to digitally reproduce the exact sound of Alicia’s prized Yamaha C3 Neo grand piano. Keys’ hope is to have her sounds available at a very affordable price within the next three months, so that young musicians from all backgrounds will be able to play her signature sound.

“I wanted to create a sound that is just magnificent and that would inspire me to play,” said Keys. “It was an idea that was born during the creation of my last album As I Am, which was recorded at my own studio, The Oven Studios, in New York City. While we were there recording this album we were able to create a really warm and beautiful sound using my Yamaha C3 Neo, and we decided that we wanted to capture that sound and make it something that I can take with me everywhere.

“I believe it is really important to have access to a great sounding piano, and I hope this new virtual piano will inspire others and help them to hone their craft in a way like never before, regardless of their economic situation.”

Keys unveiled the new sound for the crowd through a Yamaha DGT2A piano. She played three songs, including “If I Ain’t Got You,” “Fallin,” “How Come You Don’t Call Me,” and finished by playing “Sure Looks Good To Me” on Yamaha’s newly-launched AvantGrand, a hybrid piano that will be available later this year.

“During our five year history with Alicia, Yamaha has been honored to meet the challenges set forth by this groundbreaking performer, including customizing two purple Yamaha pianos for her videos for ‘Karma’ and ‘No One’,” commented Chris Gero, vice president of Yamaha Corporate Artist Affairs, Inc. “Today, we’re proud to announce this new partnership with her, and we will be diligently working together to make this project a success and fulfill Alicia’s vision of inspiring future musicians.”

Those who were unable to attend NAMM can watch the press conference on www.yamaha.com/namm as a live webcast courtesy of NewTek using TriCaster, their portable live production system.

Singer/songwriter/actress Keys has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide since the release of her first studio album Songs in A Minor in 2001. With 11 Grammy Awards (and three more current nominations), 17 Billboard Music Awards, 5 American Music Awards, and a recent fourth consecutive No. 1 on the Billboard Charts, it’s no wonder she was recently inducted into the Billboard Hot 100 All-Time Top Artists List.

NEW YORK, Jan. 27 /PRNewswire/ — USA Network announced today the winners of the first-ever Character Approved Awards, a new program created to honor individuals from a cross-section of creative disciplines who are positively influencing American culture. In its inaugural year, USA Network selected seven visionary characters based on their cultural impact, legacy and personas. While each honoree is at a different stage in his or her career, they are all cultural trailblazers who are influencing our opinions, style and view of the world.

“The 2009 Character Approved honorees represent the type of characters we not only admire and wish we could imitate, but also want to know,” said Chris McCumber, executive vice president, marketing, digital and brand strategy. “Each of the recipients is a pioneer in his or her own field, lauded by their peers and in our opinion worthy of the Character Seal of Approval. We are honored to celebrate them in this way.”

The honorees will be featured in long-form vignettes directed by Henry Alex Rubin (Murderball), which will debut Tuesday, January 27 in primetime on USA Network. The vignettes provide an inside look at the lives, the work and influences of these characters, and will be featured over the next several months across the network’s programming and online as extended length videos at characterapproved.usanetwork.com. Additionally each honoree will be granted the “Character” award, a tabletop steel figurine that was handcrafted by Los Angeles sculptor Bruce Gray.

The seven individuals honored for the first-ever Character Approved Awards are:

  –  Charles Best, Founder of DonorsChoose.org (Giving):  As a public
      school teacher in the Bronx, Best saw a classic problem — the lack of
      money for teaching supplies — and came up with a radical solution:
      “the eBay of philanthropy.” Founded in 2000, DonorsChoose.org allows
      teachers nationwide to post online requests for classroom materials
      and for donors to give directly to those needs via the web.
  –  David Chang, Renowned Restaurateur and Owner of Momofuku Restaurants
      (Food):  Since opening his first restaurant, Momofuku Noodle Bar, in
      New York City’s East Village in 2004, Chang’s establishments have
      skyrocketed to the top of the city’s Best Restaurants lists, and
      earned him a James Beard Award for “Best Chef in New York City”, with
      his refreshingly Americanized take on Asian cuisine.
  –  Jennifer Siegal, Celebrated West Coast Designer (Architecture):  Being
      revered as an imaginative and inventive designer on the forefront of
      the prefabricated architecture movement simply isn’t enough for
      Siegal.  She is also helping reduce waste with reusable and recycled
      materials, as her vision for environmentally sustainable buildings
      continues to change the landscape of urban and suburban living.
  –  Jimmy Wales, Founder of Wikipedia (New Media/Technology):  An
      Alabama-born former options trader, Wales set out in 2001 to create an
      open online encyclopedia that would become “the sum of all human
      knowledge.” But he’s not doing it by himself; with over 10 million
      user-created articles in 253 languages, Wikipedia has become a global
      virtual community of millions where everyday people are the writers
      and editors.
  –  Lupe Fiasco, Hip-Hop Superstar (Music):  In an industry that responds
      to mainstream pop and glamour, Chicago-born and raised hip-hop artist
      Lupe Fiasco broke out from the pack with his emphasis on strong
      lyricism and storytelling. Having racked up four 2009 Grammy
      nominations for his latest critically acclaimed album, no one can
      argue with his path to success.
  –  Patrick Robinson, Head Designer for Gap (Fashion):  Robinson has
      already put his mark on Gap brand as the newly-appointed Executive
      Vice President of Design, expertly handling the company’s challenge to
      create buzz worthy yet affordable clothing. He and his team are
      focused on creating a strong collection each season rooted in clean,
      classic American design — hitting at the very heart of Gap’s
      heritage.
  –  Shepard Fairey, Artist and Street Art Sensation (Art):  With a
      one-of-a-kind style and keen eye for design, Fairey’s unique approach
      to spreading art among the masses blended the worlds of pop culture
      and politics this past election cycle in a way no one could have ever
      predicted. His iconic “HOPE” image of President Barack Obama became a
      national sensation, recently being dedicated in the National Portrait
      Gallery at the Smithsonian.  This year also marks a 20-year
      retrospective at the ICA in Boston, and numerous magazine covers
      including TIME, Esquire, Washington Life, WHERE Magazine and many,
      many others.

The Character Approved Awards is one program in a series of initiatives from USA Network designed to celebrate the inspiring, surprising and buzz-worthy individuals that shape our nation’s character. For more information on Character Approved, visit characterapproved.usanetwork.com.

Inspired by their favorite pastime and their popular and hilarious THC TV series “How to Roll / Smoke a Blunt”, the mixtape features classic freestyles as well as unreleased original music, all with a Marijuana Theme.

Always on the cutting edge of rap music originality the L Bowz once again bring something different to the table when everyone else is stuck doing the same thing. “Going Green” is a wonderfully clever representation of the Cannabis from many different points of view and situations. From killing Mary Jane on “Smoke Dat”, to praising the quality of their chronic on “High Grade” to even asking a brethren to borrow their bic on “Get a Light”, the Ashy L Bowz can seemingly make great music while still sticking to their topic and theme of choice.

Even for non smokers “Going Green” is a must listen for any hip hop music enthusiast. It features some unlikely musical samples as well as skits that blend well with the subject matter and even a guest appearance from comedian Donnell “Ashy Larry” Rawlings.
If this mixtape is any indication of what we can expect from The Ashy L Bowz sophomore album “No Lotion Squared”, this February 25th (Ash Wednesday) will be a day that hip hop fans of all denominations will feel blessed.

Download the “Going Green” mixtape and other free Ashy L Bowz music at www.nolotion.com/freemusic or directly at www.zshare.net/download/5467291848d60ad8/
