CRANK THAT VOTE!

with Terrence J & Fred Whit

featuring Ludacris, Lauren London, Ne-Yo & Gabriel Union

" People died for the right to vote, the least we can do is exercise it"- Lauren London

The 2008 presidential race is truly unprecedented. Never before have millions of Americans been so excited to see change, more importantly, never have the youth been so vital in shaping America's future.

Unfortunately, there are over 8 million African Americans that are unregistered to vote in the USA! The last presidential election was won by less then 350 votes, so Terrence J decides to stop talking about it and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!!!

Tune into BET this September as Terrence goes on a CRAZY road trip across the country with his brother Fred on a BOLD mission to get 100,000 young people registered to vote. CAN HE DO IT??

New Video: Phashara- "Young World"

Phashara (emcee & beatmaker) is the balance between aggressive golden age hip-hop and progressive melodious modern hip-hop. His style of vocal delivery is strong while his lyrical content is rather introspective and thought provoking. Phashara’s brand of vivid & soulful hip-hop is a throwback to a time when lyrics, chopped samples and drums that boom and bap were standard Emcee issue.

If you will be in LA coming up Check Phashara on Sept. 12th (Tomorrow!)

Hurricane Katrina through the eyes of BLACK PEOPLE : Trouble the Water

I just saw the MOST AMAZING movie today. Wasn't up for the movies today but got invited to IFC to see the movie "Trouble The Water" and didn't know what I was in for! This is the DOPEST movie i've seen ever!




Trouble the Water opens the day before Katrina makes landfall, just blocks away from the French Quarter but far from the New Orleans that tourists know. Kimberly Rivers Roberts is turning her video camera on herself and her 9th Ward neighbors trapped in the city. “It’s going to be a day to remember,” Kim says excitedly into her new camera as the storm is brewing. It’s her first time shooting video and it’s rough, jumpy but dense with reality. Kim’s playful home-grown newscast tone grinds against the audience’s knowledge that hell is just hours away. There is no way for the audience to warn her. And for New Orleans’ poor, there is nowhere to run.

As the hurricane begins to rage and the floodwaters fill their world and the screen, Kim and her husband Scott continue to film, documenting their harrowing voyage to higher ground and dramatic rescues of friends and neighbors.

Intertwining Kim and Scott’s insider’s view of Katrina and powerful video with a mix of verite and in-your-face filmmaking, Deal and Lessin follow their story through the storm and its aftermath, and into a new life. Along the way, they discover Kim’s musical talent as rap artist Black Kold Madina when she finds the only existing copy of her recorded music survived the storm with a relative in Memphis. Kim’s performance in that moment reveals not only devastating skills as a musician, but compacts her life story into explosive poetry that paints a devastating picture of poverty.



If you have not gone to seen this movie you need to RIGHT NOW!

Q: What is a Digital Press Conference?
A: It’s a party with content creation benefits !

The mission is simple: Invite bands and musicians and new media makers -bloggers, podcasters, Internet radio station programmers, vodcasters, video show creators, online freelancers and technology companies, music content companies, and freelancers to attend, eat, drink and meet each other face to face. It’s a great way to acknowledge hard working musicians and harder working new media makers in a social environment, and connect new media makers to artists face to face and if they feel so inclined they can capture exclusive material from artists. New media companies are also invited to show off their online platforms.

Cyber PR hosts Digital Press Conferences these 3-4 times a year and they are collaborations with other music companies who are involved with new media makers or represent artists looking to gain online exposure.
