    Dear music supervisor,
    My name is dB Heard CEO of Not Only Street Records!

    Not Only Street Records distinguishes itself from other independent record companies through its marketing and promotional plan, Intense, calculated and relentless promotional campaigns
    we are contacting you because we would like to submit music to be considered in your regular music rotation programming.

    NOSR represents a complete roster of independent recording artist through the entire world.

    Are music genres ranges from hip hop, rap, r&b, urban, world beat, reggae, and others.

    At this this time I'd like to extend our introduction to:



    New Release:
    I Know Now & Drop Hit,s and Evrybodies Darling
    on
    Not Only Street Records

    The native-born Jamaican Marvin Anthony Burnett aka Sledgy was born in St. James at September, 27th in 1973.
    At the age of sixteen he came with his brother to Germany to stay with his mother and live a better life. Shortly afterwards young Anthony got down with rapping.
    To do music brings a lot of joy to him. Music is a great pleasure for Sledgy; he feels committed to make music.

    It helped him through his hard time after his entry into Germany which was totally foreign to him at that time.
    After he had rapped a long time for himself to take his mind off his worries, Burnett signed a contract with the label Power Jam Records.
    With conclusion of the treaty his music career begins.

    Under the name of Marvin Burnett he performs onstage (YOU) two times and at Funworld, Bodensee. Furthermore his music appeared on Radio K?ln and Radio 7.
    For two years he has been under contract to Power Jam Records which is known as GUMAK Media e.K. today.

    The Jamaican Burnett is also charitable. He gave many benefit performances, among others at K?lner Zoo, in a retirement home and not least at town hall in Cologne- Kalk.
