3/13/10: Edwin Myles Speaks On Disk Jockey Trade Association By Jehuniko

Edwin Myles Speaks About Afrika Bambaataa’s Role In The Development of IDJ Trade Association

Atlanta, Georgia (March 02, 2010)—Since the June 2008 inception of International Disc Jockey Trade Association (IDJTA), the comprehensive union has resonated extremely well throughout the international DJ community.

The “Godfather” of Hip-Hop DJ Afrika Bambaatta, the “Godfather” of Urban Radio Herb Kent and industry veteran TJ Chapman are several pioneers who serve as IDJTA honorary advisory board members.

IDJTA?s CEO and founder Edwin “OG Eddie” Myles (Hip-Hop?s youngest forefather), says Bambaataa played a critical role in his development of the multifaceted organization.

Myles also acknowledged that his initial role as a forefather of Hip-Hop was ensuring the protection of DJs such as Bambaataa, Red Alert, Kool Herc, Lovebug Starski, Grandmaster Flash, and everyone else who played a part of Hip-Hop?s emergence.

“When Bambaataa decided he wanted to take all the scattered talent from NYC and unify „Hip-Hop,? he asked me to be a part of forming the movement; I was 16 then,” says Myles. “I appreciate the fact that Bambaataa saw something special in me at an early age.”

Myles, now a 25 year entertainment industry insider, has played a critical role in the promotion that accelerated the careers of Master P, Lil Boosie, Mac 10, Lil Flip and many others.

Throughout the years Myles has also established a strong rapport with an extensive DJ network; in the process, however, he says noticed the misrepresentation and misuse of DJs.

“Honestly, in the beginning stages of developing IDJTA, I became frustrated and thought about throwing in the towel,” Myles admitted, “but Bambaataa and many other longtime DJ associates saw my intentions were good and encouraged me to continue my efforts.”

His Atlanta, Georgia-based organization provides DJs with a variety of marketing and branding services and other perks exclusive to members.

In 2009, Myles established The Million DJ Conference Call, which serves a weekly platform for DJs to engage in discourse with various entertainment industry professionals.

Subsequently Myles launched IDJ Radio, which, to date, has provided 100 DJs worldwide with their own Internet Radio Stations that double as social networking sites.

“I became involved with IDJTA because I felt the serious need for progression within the DJ community, says DJ Brratt, a member of the IDJTA Board of Directors. “I?ve been deejaying since the mid „90s and there has been a representational void that exists for us.

“After getting to know OG Eddie I saw his vision and was compelled to be a part of filling the void.”

The IDJTA is currently preparing for the weekend-long, 1st Annual IDJ Trade Awards and Expo, which will be held in Atlanta, Georgia, in August 2010.

The event will commemorate DJs specializing in all genres of music and include numerous performances and festivities.

3/5/10: Devin The Dude Preps New Album

E1 Music is excited to announce the much anticipated release of Devin The Dude’s appropriately titled new album, Suite 420, on April 20^{th, 2010. Suite 420 features The Odd Squad (Jugg Mugg, Devin & Rob), Smit D (originally from the Facemob), 14K, Tony Mac, Ced-B, Kory-B, School-Boy, Alpha-Bet-D with production by Mirawge & Big Baby, Mike Dean, Rob Quest, Luster Baker, C-Ray, Q-Stone, Reggie Coby, and Devin The Dude himself.}

The first single, "What I Be On" will be serviced shortly.

The Houston rapper has laid down five solo albums that have highlighted his impressive storytelling skills and made him one of the most respected and sought-after artists in the industry. As one of the few emcees who have worked with the best in the underground, mainstream, East, West and South, Devin is your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper.

He has released five solo albums: ^{The Dude (1998), Just Tryin' ta Live (2002), To tha X-Treme (2004), Waitin' to Inhale (2007), and Landing Gear (2008).}

Born in St. Petersburg, Florida and raised in Houston, Texas, Devin literally lived next door to music as a youngster. Living in a house in front of radio station WRXB in St. Petersburg, Devin found that one man's trash was another man's treasure when he'd discover and collect old records the station threw in the trash. Before long, he and his brother started pulling out their mom's record player and throwing parties in their front lawn. When he finally stumbled across Hip Hop, Devin found his first calling as a pop-locker performing for friends, family and even his elders at the neighborhood nursing home.

After his show-stealing appearances on Scarface's 1998 "My Homies" compilation, Devin dropped his solo debut The Dude to rave reviews including a coveted 4-mics rating in The Source, a rarity for Southern Hip Hop artists at the time. Inspired by the Quincy Jones album of the same name, The Dude introduced Devin as a unique voice that made you feel at ease instead of threatened.

Though the album didn't sell through the roof, "The Dude" won the hearts of both rap fans and rappers themselves. Devin found unexpected fans in Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre who not only invited Devin to appear on "F*ck You" from Dre’s Chronic 2001 album, but had him join them on their widely popular Up In Smoke Tour as well.
