Jermaine Dupri, legendary producer, announced today the formation of a new record label, TAG records. The hip hop label is being formed by Island Def Jam and Proctor & Gamble’s TAG brand and will be head by JD. Not only will TAG records release music via traditional sources but has a massive built in brand marketing department. Apparently, artists signed to the label will be featured in various TAG commercials. Considering how kick ass these commercials have been of late, this idea might actually work.
Artistic credibility is at stake when having not one- but two GIANT corporations take over your career and make you a viral video star via deoderant commercials… We’ll just have to see. Their webpage www.tagrecords.com brings you to their well laid out but friend-less Myspace.
I feel very honored to announce that Musictomarketing.com has released a video interview of Trifecta which is the hiphop group that I am a member of along with god MCs Paasky and Sanchez. Musictomarketing.com is a well written and thoughtful blog, I cannot say enough about it. Its an inspiration to be recognized for what I am passionate about.
I am told that many more interviews are scheduled with indie musicians and music industry insiders. I cannot wait for the next installment!
So with that said I would like to announce that the first Trifecta project is in its finishing stages. Paasky & Sanchez: The Sikkis is near!!! I meant it when I said in the interview that this is an introduction of a new style of hiphop for New Orleans and the World. Paasky and Sanchez are lyrical monsters and just down to earth guys whose knowledge of the ins and outs of the industry always amaze me. The three of us cannot fail. Straight up.
Props to Alex “the Camera Guy” Wiltz for the amazing editing and filming. This is another man I feel has only success in his future. He will be shooting some Trifecta music videos too.
