Pitbull feat. Lil Jon and Ying Yang Twins: "Bojangles"
Keeping his brand image alive and kicking, Pitbull's fierce bite is still killing competitors and luring in new loyal fans. His staple, Miami, Florida; let it be known. But since Pitbull's success continues to grow so does his national and international fame. The recipe for having longevity in the music business is that it's deeper then music, Pitbull says, you gotta be straight with relationships, able to keep them and you can't burn bridges. On top of that you gotta know how to put out hit records. Pitbull knew he was onto something great with the success of his debut release on TVT Records, M.I.A.M.I. (Money Is A Major Issue). Singles like 'Toma' and 'Culo' can still be heard in clubs all over the nation and beyond, and the crowd reacts like they have never heard it before. The energy rises, basses bump, asses shake, bodies grind and all the while 24-year-old Pitbull is just doing what he does best. Part of that comes from his upbringing. His parents, both first generation Cuban immigrants had him memorize the poems of legendary Cuban poet, Jose Mart when he was just a boy. This ritual instilled in him an early appreciation for the power of language, as well as the importance of his Cuban roots and looking beyond his own experience for inspiration. Pitbull explains, That's one thing people don?t realize about Miami -- we have all kinds of people down here. So early on I learned to appreciate different types of music." M.I.A.M.I. has surpassed expectations in the market. The album has been certified gold and Pitbull has provided a new face in hip-hop for the Latinos by becoming the most highly recognized Latino emcee since Fat Joe. Media attention keeps growing and Pitbull has already landed features in magazines like Latina, Rolling Stone, Maxim en Espanol, XXL and The Source to name a few. Not only does the media want to write about Pitbull but he himself writes a column for the NBA Espanol website. Pitbull understands that to stay on top you have to be on the grind constantly, "not everybody can stay on top -- there are more failed hustlers than there are successful ones." While a lot of Sunshine State rappers focus their hip-hop attentions strictly below the Mason-Dixon line, the teenage Pitbull's wide interests led him to classics like Nas "Illmatic" and G-Funk blueprints like "The Chronic" and "Doggystyle." Soon he was developing the freestyle skills that would later earn him fame, flooding the Miami streets with mixtapes (like his latest, "Unleashed Volume 5"). After missing connections with Irv Gotti - a chance meeting brought them into the same studio, but the planned recording session never happened - Pitbull turned to home base for his entry in the game. In the late 90s, he was tapped by bass music legend Luke to flow over his hit single "Lollipop". " I am grateful for him, not just because "Lollipop" did mad business all through the south, Pitbull says. But because he helped me learn the ropes of the business." music is a universal language.

"One of Britain's most hotly tipped musicians . . ." -- The Guardian (UK) This young woman has built her way up from nothing, from dropping out of school, from selling donuts and double-glazed windows to making a slew of world tastemakers (from production collaborators Basement Jaxx to Missy Elliot and Jay-Z) take note of a random, cheeky, and undeniably charismatic talent. Now it's time for America to make way for the Ess-Oh-Vee, otherwise known as Lady Sovereign. Lady Sovereign expresses a unique perspective of youth culture that's previously been a hidden voice. An MC, lyricist, and producer, she's the alternative microphone vandal with lyrics that hit like left and right hooks, whether subjects are light or weighty. "Vertically Challenged" finds Lady Sovereign definitely doing her own thing as well, showcasing her incredibly varied flow and animated voice across a multivariance of bottom-heavy beats that could only emerge from the UK urban underground.
