Calling All Rappers
THIS IS IT!!!!!!The first of many efforts to bridge the gap between the music industry and unknown talented artist. This is the first time i'm opening up my gigs to fellow musicians. As you guys might know GAME (the rapper) released his "last" album Tues August 26, 2008. The boys at Black Wall Street are really pushing their camp and have solicited some music from me. As you know I have my own company called 222 Entertainment a production and artist development company. Its a small company but i'm trying to expand.
That's were you come in, I need you to submit the best 16 bars of your life to help me expand my company and show the boys at Black Wall Street that I can bring them the best unknown artist out there with real talent. To sweeten the deal, the person I select will recieve a brand new Breitling Chronomat Evolution Watch worth $10,000. I need you to jump on this NOW because later i'm going to raise the price to $20 for entry. Download the first track on my myspace page and GO HARD. Then click the BWS demo link and send in your 16 bars. Lets make it happen.

If you want us to stop in your town shout out now because the highway to hell tour plans are underway. It's a given there's to be a road trip down Interstate 95 Southbound from Richmond but we don't mind deviating from our path.
If you want me - tell me and me and I'll rumble on into town with books in hand! That's right you get a chance to pick the tour stops!! How many authors are going to let you do that for them??
