It's funny that StreetHop.com didn't post this first, but I was told to hold out on it until it spread to other media first so it didn't seem like self promotion. But now it's out on AllHipHop and all over Australian media I thought I'd just post the press release. AUSTRALIA: Many rappers such as the on and off again banned from Australia Snoop Dogg love the southern continent; but none in the past have set up a local record label let alone used their fame and success to further the local music industry.
The Outlawz, formed by the late Tupac Shakur, have done just that, forming Outlaw Recordz Australia.
"We plan to use this new company to not only further the Outlawz brand in Australia but to also help develop talent down there, as well as offer Australian's American products they may not have had access to in the past."
In addition to that Outlaw Recordz Australia will release a joint album between The Outlawz and local musicians that the group will record during their September tour and in the future plan on releasing more CDs from Australian musicians.
America 2 Australia: The Best of the Best will be a double-disc LP and also include a compilation of 14 accompanying music videos to be mainly filmed during the Outlawz Australian visit.
This is an unprecedented opportunity for Australian urban music, and for Australian artists to be a part of the movement that will carry on Tupac's legacy.
"They love and support real Hip-Hop and Australia really has great artists too," Young Noble states. "We are very excited about going back for this tour and looking forward to recording this album with all the top Aussie talent."
The group has joined forces with local Hip-Hop figures Rukas and Young Bleezy to form the new company. Rukas will serve as President and Co-CEO of Outlaw Recordz Austalia and Young Bleezy will serve as the Label Producer and Co-CEO.
For more information on the label or business and media opportunities please contact info@outlawzaustralia.com. The official websites, Outlaw Recordz Australia and OutlawRecordz.com.au are in development.
TOUR DATES:
Sydney - Sat 13th September, Luna Park Big Top
Melbourne - Thu 18th September The Forum
Adelaide - Fri 19thth September Thebarton
Brisbane - Sun 21st September The Arena
Tickets are on sale at TICKETEK now.
And yes, that is StreetHop.com founder Rukas and forum member Young Bleezy aka BleezyBlaze, who have been making some noise in Australia and Germany working with such acts as DMX, Ying Yang Twins, Bone Thugz, Yukmouth & The Regime, international talent and of course The Outlawz over the years.
Meanwhile The Outlawz remain the most successful independent act in the world, selling over 60million copies and never having been signed to a major label. Now they continue their US success with Young Buck's Cashville Records and like they predicted in their 2002 DVD release, they are WORLD WIDE.
