FROM DREDDY KRUGER, THINK DIFFERENTLY MUSIC GROUP & THE PRODUCERS OF THE UNDERGROUND SMASH: WU-TANG MEETS THE INDIE CULTURE

*LORD JAMAR – FOUNDING MEMBER OF BRAND NUBIAN ANNOUNCES THE 5% ALBUM:
In stores May 23rd 2006 www.5percent.org
Babygrande Records is proud to present the debut record from Lord Jamar:
Aside from his upcoming cameo on the 6th and final season of The Sopranos, Lord Jamar of Brand Nubian has been keeping busy in the lab perfecting his debut concept album, The 5% Album. Returning to the roots of Brand Nubian’s foundational ideology, 5% offers a heretofore unparalleled scrutiny of the culturally paradigmatic social movement that affected the development of such artists as Rakim, Nas, The Wu-Tang Clan and more. It exposes its continuing contribution to the ever evolving discipline of hip-hop. As much of a commentary as it is an academic reflection of the storied 5% movement, The 5% Album is a legend’s examination of the past, present, and future of one of hip-hop’s cornerstone ideologies.
ALBUM FEATURES GUEST APPEARANCES FROM RZA, GZA, RAEKWON, Papa Wu, Young Lord J (Jamar’s son), among others!!!

*APATHY OUT OF THE BOX! – DEBUT SINGLE #1 MOST ADDED ON RAPATTACKLIVES CHART/+ WORLD PREMIERE VIDEO: www.myspace.com/apathy
In Stores March 21st 2006 www.babygrande.net/apathy
CURRENTLY: 12” Entitled “The Winter”
#1 Most Added Rapattacklives
#3 Most Added Rapnetwork
“A fantastic debut that should raise his profile in the game immensely.”
--Allhiphop.com
“Let’s just say the guy can rap his ass off.”
--Mike Shinoda (Linkin Park & Fort Minor)
Some honestly quoted feedback from real DJs about Apathy:
WUSB/DJ Oxygen:
“Wow...lovin' this track right here. Straight New York Gritty! The delivery flows like liquid over neck-snapping drums, and Apathy's detail smacks the nail right on the head.”
WMHB/Max Brown:
“The vocals are tight and the beat is sick. The piano part gives me the chills! I first heard it on hiphopgame.com, and was pumped to get the vinyl so I could play it on my show. Good stuff!”
Apathy has quite a bit to celebrate right now. His debut single titled “The Winter” was the #1 most added single in the country this week on the Rapattacklives chart, and #3 most added on the Rapnetwork chart. On top of this, his video for the single has exclusively premiered at www.hiphopcrack.com. It was recently shot in Brooklyn and prominently features Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park and Fort Minor.
After three years preparing himself for the big leagues, Apathy plans to take hip-hop by storm with his long-awaited independent LP, Eastern Philosophy, with production duties anchored by Apathy, Demigodz and more. Highlights include “The Buck Stops Here,” a glimpse into the life of a dollar bill moving through both legal and illegal business, or as Ap puts it, “straight from a stripper’s thong / to shopping with your mom;” and “The Winter,” a crisp, frozen portrait of the cold, cruel struggle to survive and succeed in the blighted North, featuring The RZA’s melodic muse, Blue Raspberry. Following Eastern Philosophy, The Bearer of Bad News, his major-label debut on Atlantic Records, promises to usher in a wave of gripping music, fresh talent, and new themes.
