New Client "Sound Cartagena" From Puerto Rico To Brooklyn... Brings you "Spanglish Digital"

Sound Cartagena Myspace

Sound Cartagena conducts a rare form of MC that is not often encountered. That is why he has lifted up eye-brows of artists like Akon, Red Cafe, Fabolous, Wyclef and many more respected Mcs. What is most interesting about Sound Cartagena is the fact that he is the product of an individual who grew up in the streets of both Peurto Rico and Brooklyn, and that is exactly what his music sounds like. With the sound of live instruments playing under Sala/Meringue fused with Hip Hop beats, the music sounds nothing less than fresh and reminiscent of background music in Scarface. Although he has created quite a buzz on the performance circuit in NYC Sound Cartagena is now determined to create a online buzz by turning to "The Industry's Alternative" to flood his third mixtape called "Spanglish Carter" which is said to be his best work yet. The Mixtape is set to be out on iTunes and all other digital retailers in the top of the 1st Quarter. You can then expect to see his mixtape featured on all top tier urban publications and blogs throughout the 1st quarter. Sound Cartagena is also a drummer of a band called Killah Beats that travels all around the world playing Latin Rhythms.

Latest UK Rap Phenomenon "Haze Da Truth" Now On the T.I.A. Roster

From the US to the UK The Industry's Alternative is going International!

As we take it over-sees I would like to introduce one of the latest hot MCs buzzing right now in the United Kingdom. Coming from someone who mostly only listens to music coming from artists in the US, Haze Da Truth's sound captured me immediately because he has a natural rap presence about his music. The music seems natural like this is exactly what he was born to do. Apart from the fact he has a great production team, he also knows how to make hit records with a mix of reality rap. Haze is affiliated with a huge movement out in the UK called Eurogang and Sas.

His strong UK accent adds to his swagger, and originality. Dizee Rascal is one of the last UK artists to really blow up out there, well Haze Da Truth has plans to not only be the biggest rap star in the UK but he also envisions himself crossing over to becoming one of the biggest rap stars in the US. With collaborations with Max B and the late Stack Bundles and many others, Haze's buzz is spreading like wild fire. His latest mixtape project called "Breathe of Fresh Air" is available for free download on Datpiff.com and is being picked up on all major music blogs, urban publications and featured on social media networks.
