THE ULTIMATE PERSUADERS featuring RICHARD POINDEXTER "HYPNOTZED"

THE ULTIMATE PERSUADERS featuring RICHARD POINDEXTER "HYPNOTIZED"

Richard Poindexter sings lead vocal on this classic song that he and his brother Bobby Poindexter penned for the late, great Linda Jones on George Kerr's New Jersey based Loma Records.

This track was also included on the 2006 CD "MADE TO BE LOVED" on It's Soul Time! Records and was released as a limited edition 45.

Since this clip was recorded, Evan Wills has since replaced Alex Brown who sadly passed away in 2007 and in Septermber 2008, the group changed its name from The Persuaders to The Ultimate Persuaders featuring Richard Poindexter.

We hope you enjoy this soulful gem!

Mawl can be added to the ranks of many artists who have used their talents in support of Illinois Senator Barack Obama.

The urban youth have registered to vote in record numbers this year and those who influence them most, have been critical encouragers of their participation. "I am so excited about the energy of our hip hop generation and very proud of the attention and time they are placing on this election. I am a strong Barack Obama supporter and want to see this brother prove his doubters wrong," says D. Mawl. He is hopeful that this song and video will create more spark in this last week before the big election day and motivate some to vote early. Listen and download the mp3 of "The Great Election" by clicking HERE. View the must see YouTube video HERE. In addition to "The Great Election", D. Mawl is busy promoting his single "Keep It Hip Hop" from his The Lost 16 album. He is nationally recognized for his "All Over the Place" Black history anthem and as KFC's 2007 360 Pride Hitmaker.

Hip-Hop Soul Artist Niva Releases Debut Single, "I Will Make It" Featuring Kamal Supreme

Niva	Niva and Kamal Supreme

New York, NY (BlackNews.com) - There is a new movement in the world of urban music. A movement to operate outside of the framework of the major label record companies. That movement is thriving and flourishing with urban independent artists in all parts of the country. Many artists are taking advantage of social networking web sites as well as Yahoo and Google pay per clicks and public access television to promote their music.

Niva is one such artist. Her debut track "I Will Make It" is a powerful anthem-like song with a strong hip-hop beat and a dream-like folk guitar. With its inspirational and motivational lyrics, the song serves as a testament to self love and determination. The strong hook drives home the point to not rely on yourself but rely on a higher power.

Niva is not the average pretty face that can't sing and needs electronic autotune and Pitch correction to perform and record. Niva is for real and she proves it every time she steps on stage. Niva constantly and continuously performs at various clubs in the New York/New Jersey area where she receives rave reviews for her singing and her powerful stage performance. Niva's delivery of classic Soul and R&B in a modern day Urban Hip-Hop package has prompted many to call her "The New Soul Diva."

Now residing in New York City, Niva originally from Houston, Texas is blazing a path as a recording artist and performer. "I Will Make It" is a collaborative effort with Spoken Word Poet 'Kamal Supreme'. Kamal is known for his musical message of empowerment for women. The two artists were brought together by New Black Music in an effort to create something different, interesting and meaningful. Spoken Word can be a provocative and prolific art form. Combining that art form with a singer of Niva's soul and power can definitely make you sit up and take notice.

The new track reflects Niva's pain and suffering growing up in Houston and her determination to break the cycle of pain and depression. When asked about her inspiration for the song Niva responded, "I had to go to a very dark place to write and sing those lyrics." While Niva is inspired by Beyonce and Mary J. Blige, she is also a big fan of classic Soul and R&B music. One of the first projects she worked on with New Black Music was for a television show called "The Urban Mix." Niva sang two classic soul tracks with a live band. The songs were Michael Henderson's "Be My Girl" and the Delfonics' "Baby I Miss You." The band of seasoned Bebop, Soul and R&B musicians were so impressed that they became Niva's personal backing band. She also performed on several other local television appearances doing songs by 'Candi Staton' and other classic Soul and R&B greats as well as her own powerful Hip-Hop Soul.

Niva left Houston with nothing and came to New York City to pursue her dream of becoming a star. The story of all of her trials and tribulations and struggle after arriving in New York City is fit for a Hollywood movie. According to Niva, "No one knows how hard I have worked to get where I am now." Through all of the struggle and adversity she experienced she held on to her dreams and perfected her craft. She responded to an ad put in Craigslist by New Black Music for a female artist. According to Brother Jonathan of New Black Music, "From day one I knew this girl had potential and I knew she was someone who really had something to say."

Niva has a connection with all of the ladies who go through anguish and hardship and struggle to overcome and live the life they were meant to live. She is equally at home doing a hot and sexy dance track or pouring her heart out and putting her emotions on the table. While making the video for her debut song, it was clear to everyone present that Niva just loves being in front of the camera and sees it as fun, not work. "I Will Make It" is destined to become a huge success. Keep your eye on Niva, a rising star.

[HustleUniversity] WE GOT YOUR BACK OBAMA!

10/28/08

Peace and welcome to all the newcomers of Hustle University!

Before I start ranting about Hustle U happenings, I’ve got to send a special prayer out to Jennifer Husdon and family.

I also have to send a prayer of protection for our brother Barack Obama. He’s really gonna beat Mccain and he’s got some people so afraid of his power that they are plotting to take him down (or out).

This (my people) is the unfortunate nature of leadership and success. The higher you climb, the harder people try to pull you down. That’s why Hustler’s Commandment #4 is: “It’s lonely at the Top.”

As I said before Obama, “I got your back!”

The book signings in Brooklyn this weekend went very well! Shout out to Carmen @ http://carmenmcolon.net for setting up the tour, interviews and optimizing my website. My site ranking has jumped up over 2 million spots! INCREDIBLE! Ya'll need to holla at her.

The Hustler’s 10 Commandments has now sold over 10,000 copies! Hustle While You Work will soon follow. You can now order both at Borders (but they’re cheaper online). www.HustleUniversity.org

Vote for Obama & A Weirdo on Tuesday November 4th!

		Vote For Obama & A Weirdo on Tuesday November 4th!
Vote For Obama & A Weirdo- PRESS RELEASE Vote For Obama & A Weirdo Peter Hadar 'Well Dressed For The Art Show' Available On iTunes & Everywhere November 4th New distribution deal with INgrooves; second single 'Planets', New Video Coming Soon On Tuesday November 4th, two monumental events will take place in the United States. We will elect a new president, and independent singer/songwriter Peter Hadar will release his sophomore album "Well Dressed For The Art Show" on iTunes and everywhere; both representing a change in the status quo. Produced under Hadar's own imprint Cool Weirdo Music, the album was originally released to the press in June, and has since garnered critical acclaim by the likes of Essence.com, who deemed it "an eclectic sonic masterpiece", and VIBE's Hype Magazine who called it "a healthy alternative to mainstream". The quality of the album also attracted digital distributor INgrooves, who has since picked it up and is issuing the November release. INgrooves also distributes projects from Cool Kids, Thievery Corporation, Too Short, J Dilla, and Dolly Parton. Peter Hadar's music has been best described as a mix between Jaheim and Kanye; a fusion of R&B, rock, and electronica. First single 'Painted', is already in heavy rotation on dozens of international on and offline radio stations and mixtapes. Meanwhile, Hadar's keen fashion sense and unique vision continue to overlap and advance his career. The latest example of which, is infectious second single 'Planets' attracting the ear of a surprise "Angel" who stars in the soon to be released video, that was directed by Chike and Coodie who also directed Kanye's debut 'Through The Wire' and Mos Def's 'Body Rock'. The last quarter has been busy for Hadar; he hit the road opening for artists including Grammy nominee Raheem DeVaughn, Estelle, J*Davey, Mickey Factz, and the Cool Kidz on stages across the country. Peter Hadar was also a featured artist on both MySpace Music and BET-Listen Up; his music has enjoyed a warm reception on taste-maker blogs and websites including Billboard and SOHH. Hadar is currently in the studio working on his much anticipated third album, two tours in '09, and a new marketing extension of his 'Cool Weirdo' brand called The Honors Program. He's also wrapping up another release with his new DrumNBass group '2 Seconds From Being Committed'; a meeting of the minds with his production partner Mike Genato's and James Ronaghan's band 'Mathematics'. Refusing to be boxed in, Peter Hadar is creating the music that feels good to him, hoping that we get it. If not, he says he's "gonna keep rockin". When asked about presidential hopeful Barack Obama Hadar states, "As a black singer, I want people to listen to my music and like it for what it is, not having preconceived expectations or limitations. I believe Barack Obama wants the same. To be elected because of what he stands for, and to not have his color sway us for or against. I support his formula for the future, and I want the world to support mine." Vote for a Change on November 4th. Cast your ballot for Barak Obama, and buy your copy of Peter Hadar's 'Well Dressed For The Art Show'. ------------------------------------------------------- MEDIA CONTACT For additional information about Peter Hadar and interviews: Carine Dikambi | 646-644-7370 | PDG Public Relations | carine@pdgpr.com BOOKING & MANAGEMENT CONTACT The Shayna Miller Group TheShaynaMillerGroup@gmail.com Online Music Marketing & Events 732-841-4587 'Well Dressed For The Art Show' Available on iTunes & Everywhere Tuesday 11/4 LISTEN: Planets Cheat On You

The magnetism in her music draws you in and vitalizes you as soon as the melody begins.

As a singer/songwriter, she has travelled down a road of self examination & self discovery in music, through her church roots and has blissfully grown into and embraced the beauty of her true being by becoming "Free at Last". Sepsenahki has many musical influences but "love, loves afrobeat rhythms", which you'll be able to hear in her anticipated & upcoming CD "Galvinization of The Goddess", which reflects a collective consciousness.

She started off singing in the World Renown Morgan State Choir, like many of us here in Baltimore than became a background singer few a years and now she's decided to venture out on her own in hopes to add to the rich musical history of Charm City. Will she be the next great artist of Baltimore? You be the judge. P.S. Another staple around town, Marc Evans, is said to be in the building, maybe we can get him on the mic. It should be a fun night! Yeah, Yeah, Yeah we lost... Milton's Grill, the last time around, stole the crowd with their food and service. Even the band wanted to end the show early to eat. But, as usual we added a few new tunes and we have to let the Baltimore & Tri-State family hear them first. We would love to get your opinion on a new song "Greatest Love..." and a few more. This time we we'll be ready for Milton's. The battle of Best Soul Food vs Soul Music continues, lol. On behalf of Milton's Grill: If you're walking in as a couple enjoying your relationship, as a single enjoying your life, celebrating Morgan's Homecoming, a lover of Soul food, or a fan & supporter of Marcell and the Truth...we look forward to seeing you Saturday Night. As always, come early seats can fill up fast. www.miltonsbaltimore.com

Dramedy: Short Stories of Urban Chronicles Vol 1

New Author Sheila Chadwick Writes Unique Collection of Short Stories. Indianapolis, IN October 22, 2008 -- PublishAmerica is proud to present Dramedy: Short Stories of Urban Chronicles: Volume I by Sheila Chadwick. First time author Sheila Chadwick releases the masterfully written collection of short stories chronicling the lives of individuals who make choices that turns their lives as well as the people around them upside down. The characters live complicated yet exciting lives of bright ideas and antics that take the reader on an exhilarating journey of secrets, kidnapping, snitching, stalking and infidelity. “Although a fictional novel, the characters reflect real-life situations that are occurring for many people every day and I wanted to find a somewhat comedic way to dealing with situations that tend to be serious and full of drama. Dramedy is such a labor of love for me and it’s wonderful to see my dream of this book come to fruition.” Around 2004, Sheila began to summarize the entertainment news and forward onto her family and friends by way of a weekly emails. The response was great and It was because of this venture that she came to contribute her journalistic talents to other sources such as Crystal Magazine, Mahogany Magazine and liner notes for the Midnight Soul compilation released on the Right Stuff Records label; a division of Capital Records. It was her contributions to other publications that prompted Sheila to evaluate her goals in life as she realized how important living out her dreams was so she decided to start her own magazine which she affectionately called Word On The Street. Word On The Street the magazine was introduced in the fall of 2004 and quickly grew in popularity. In 2005, Sheila was profiled on Lifetime TV in their celebration of "Real Women, Real Lives” and in 2006, she was named “Diva Soul Sista of the month” by DivaSoulSista.com. Over time, Sheila interviewed more than 30 singers, rappers and musicians and in 2007 after her final interview featuring Chaka Khan, she retired Word On The Street to take her writing to a different level, finish her Graduate Degree and focus on writing Dramedy. “I never expected Dramedy to happen as fast as it did. Once I set my mind to making it happen, it seems that GOD just blessed me by lining everything up. GOD created the path and Publish America created the means and I look forward to following up with volume 2.” Dramedy: Short Stories of Urban Chronicles Vol 1 is published under the Publish America imprint; a traditional publishing company whose primary goal is to encourage and promote the works of new, previously undiscovered writers. Dramedy: Short Stories of Urban Chronicles Vol 1. is available at Amazon.com as well as on the author website Sheilachadwick.com where you can view the phenomenal trailer for the book. - smchadwic@gmail.com
