HOT….off his extraordinarily successful debut, RAPSTAR PHENOMENON, hosted by four of the most influential DJ’s in the game (Vlad the Butcher, Green Lantern, Dirty Harry & Clinton Sparks), Remo Da Rapstar, returns with another classic release, the highly anticipated street album, “ONE HIT AWAY” hosted by Big Mike.
With the success of Rapstar Phenomenon, this past year has been a stellar one for Remo Da Rapstar. He was named 2006 Justo Award Winner for “Best Underground Artist”, appeared on MTV’s SUCKER FREE show “Straight from the Streets,” received a 2X review in LOUD, Dubai’s world famous music magazine, and joined the ranks of legendary MCs such as THE NOTORIOUS B.I.G., COMMON and DMX by being featured in THE SOURCE magazine.. Remo has also received rave reviews from publications around the world and is the face of New Era Caps’ nationwide advertising campaign.
Raised in the rugged environs of The Bronx’s Castle Hill Projects, Remo certainly has the pedigree to earn respect from even the toughest of street soldiers. However, it is Remo’s versatility which has earned him the respect of his peers. His rhymes touch on topics that all people can relate to their lives, from the humorous to the romantic to the violent. Remo’s unique delivery and clever wordplay has made him a featured artist on the playlists & mixtapes of the nation’s top deejays. Not content to be one of many featured artists on mixtapes, Remo put together a plan that would help him stand out through not only his musical talents, but his business acumen as well. His first taste of success came as the founding member of a rap collective out of Castle Hill Projects. From there Remo went on to create All City Distro, a multi-media firm that specializes in the marketing, promotions and distribution of indie and signed artists to establish or re-establish their buzz in urban regions. All City Distro helped cement Remo as a major figure in the hip hop community, establishing relationships with many of its key players and creating opportunities to position him for maximum exposure. “(All City) is the way I bartered my way into the music end of things,” he explains. “I got everybody’s attention right now, so the weight is on my shoulders just to execute and make good music.” Through All City, Remo has networked with some of hip hop's most prominent established and up-and-coming artists.
Ultimately, Remo not only strives to be the hottest rapper in the market, but also to rejuvenate the market for other up & coming acts through his marketing and promotions company, All City Distro. His years of building relationships within the Hip Hop community are finally paying dividends, allowing Remo to escape the politics that can crush the careers of even the most talented artists. Flying below the major label radar allows Remo to control his own destiny, putting him in a position to work with labels, not for them. While he possesses the unwavering confidence necessary of any young artist, Remo’s innate business sense drives him.
Despite the pressure to repeat his breakout success, Remo Da Rapstar is set to deliver what the streets have been long anticipating with ONE HIT AWAY. The album serves as an underdog’s autobiography, illustrating Remo’s real-life ascension from street-level rhyme-slinger to full-fledged music mogul, all the while espousing a message of positivity tempered with realism. ONE HIT AWAY combines 12 of his hottest freestyles with 12 original songs, showcasing an unrivaled musical diversity and lyrical dexterity. I put a different spin on things,” says Remo, “I bring honesty. I make real sincere music that’s fun too.” Remo understands that violence and jealousy are a part of life, but his music reflects a man striving to abandon the destructive forces surrounding him. The album’s first single, “I BANG” introduces Richie Sosa, the first artist off Remo Da Rapstar’s All City Distro label. Produced by Soundsmith Productions, the songs hard-edged track has taken both the streets and radio airwaves, where it has been placed in heavy rotation, by storm.
ONE HIT AWAY is the soundtrack to the life and grind of a rapper who has not only put in the legwork to gain his place in the spotlight, but also cares about becoming esteemed for his skills. “I’m going in and aiming for the top. I’m not just trying to be a rapper; I’m trying to be the epitome of what every rapper should be. I am an investment to a label. My team and I are what labels need. I want to raise the bar for what’s going on out here.”
