DAME GREASE MADE SPECIAL CONSULTANT OF TALENT FOR THE 50 MICS TOURNAMENT

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

50Mics Inc. Is Proud to announce the alliance between The 50Mics Tournament and Legendary Producer Dame Grease Ceo of Vacant Lot Records. Dame Grease Will Serve as "Special Consultant Of Talent" Mr. Grease's Primary Duties will be to assist The 50Mics staff in choosing competitors as well as being Sr. Judge of The 50Mics Tournament. (Both live and online)

Dame Grease's official entry into the game began while he was working with a group of young artists that would go on to become one of the biggest dynasties in Hip Hop: the Ruff Ryders. When rap-heavyweight DMX rushed onto the scene in 1997, it was Dame Grease's aggressive production that provided the rapper with a podium to speak to the public. Before becoming a stable on every mixtape, the LOX relied on the sounds of Grease in order to acquire the street buzz that landed them their deal on Bad Boy Records in 1996. Fellow Bad Boy Mase sought out Grease's distinctive sound and gave him the opportunity to provide production on Mase's triple platinum Harlem World .

This led to Grease's work as the primary producer on DMX's classic debut It's Dark and Hell Is Hot, whereGrease helped the Ruff Ryders mold both their image and their sound into what would become one of the most well-known Hip Hop crews. During this time, Grease taught and paved the way for Swizz Beatz, another sample-free producer, to make his mark on the game. As Swizz went began to make his mark through the teaching of his mentor, Dame Grease landed a deal with Priority Records to release music through his label, Vacant Lot. Rather than accept offers to be one of Puff Daddy's legendary Hit Men or an in-house producer on Ruff Ryders, Grease chose to create his own Vacant Lot production company. By this time Grease had also put in work with Nas, Scarface, Eve, Fat Joe, and Noreaga amongst others.

In 2001, Dame Grease made the accession from producer to composer by providing the score for the Steven Segal/DMX blockbuster Exit Wounds. In addition to his work on the film, Dame Grease also reunited with DMX on the soundtrack for X's top-ten hit "Ain't No Sunshine", an updated, yet much darker remake to the Bill Withers 1972 classic of the same name. Grease continued his work as a composer in on the 2003 box-office hit Cradle 2 the Grave, starring Jet Li, DMX, Gabrielle Union, and Anthony Anderson, as well as 2004's Never Die Alone.

50Mics chose Dame Grease based on his vast years of experience shaping and molding not only viable and successful record artist but Hip Hop Icons such as DMX, Swizz Beats and the LOX to name a few. Dame Grease Impact on music goes without mention. His contribution to the underground and the up & coming recording artist and musician is unparalleled by his contemporizes .

The world has seen a resurgence of Grease's sound in 2007, with the Harlem producer securing DJ Drama's lead-off "Takin' Pictures" (featuring Young Jeezy, Rick Ross, Jim Jones, T.I., and Young Buck) and Freeway's single "Big Spender" (featuring Jay-Z). Grease also produced several tracks on Hell Rell's debut album "For The Hell Of It," which has been described by many critics as one of the most well-rounded releases by a Dipset artist. Grease has also been hard at work on his own album and recently released the single "Sour Diesel," which features N.O.R.E. and Styles P.

In 2006 Dame Grease established his successful Free Beat Competition. Dame posted one of his premier beats on myspace for aspiring artist to write and record a song to that particular beat . The winner received a demo deal with Vacant Lot Records. 10,000 people participated in this event and history was made. Dame Grease now teams up with J-Didda, Kareem Davis & 50Mics Inc. to make monumental history.

With the Addition of such a legendary, talented and well-respected iconic figure such has Dame Grease we hope to show the world that 50mics Inc. is indeed serious about achieving our objective to "Save the music" ..

Tanya Stephens - "Do you Still Care" (Listen to the words)

Listen to the Words...

Tanya Stephens - Do you still Care

This is the realiest record I heard in a while...

I had to repost this again.. so yall can pay attention.

I mean listen to the words of this record.. does it really matter when it really goes down.. I mean all the wars and the bullshit.. a Typhoon just shot thru and killed 500 people.. ugff the world is crying its not global warming its us so the Earth is trying to get rid of us..

Hip Hop Is Almost Dead Rap's Rupaul is coming UGFFFFFFFFF!!!

Okay Hip Hop Is Dead I don’t care what yall say.... Rap is alive .. niggas is rapping.. now I used to say Hip hop was just sick on life support or something.. and granted '08 had some good music that was hip hop.. wit Jayz and Kanye and 50. But after seeing this I'm done.. Cause folks this shit right here... man this shit. right here man.. right here.. this shit.. this shit right here.. man!!! is gonna pop..

My homie at Motown told me about how this press kit came across his desk and it is a man or women or whatever named Ms Peachez.. well I googled it ugfff the Hit single is "Fry Dat Chicken" (Tell me why I knew it was spelleted Yes "Spellted" like that and found it instantly?)

The women ehh person Got over a millions views on youtube . a fanbase..

I told my dude he dropped the ball he should have signed her I mean Ms Peachez is Rap's Rupaul . I mean Tyler Perry blowing up with Madea.. America loves a country black cross-dresser.

So I am letting yall no now to get ready because someone will sign this person and put some serous money behind her in 2 months when the budgets opens up. and get ready for Fry Dat Chicken to be the Hit of the summer..

the only reason why she wasn't signed last year is because some music execs still have a conscience But that was before Soulja Boy Tell em and Lil hay bay bay dude (cant think of his name) .

So look out for .. Ms. Peachez
