The Biggest Brand In Southern Streets Goes Visual
ATLANTA, GA Gangsta Grizzillz! The two words that revolutionized the southern mixtape game are now poised to do the same to the Urban DVD game. On November 15, 2005, the long-awaited DJ Dramas Gangsta Grillz: Respect The Game DVD, will be available in stores nationwide. Featuring interviews by some of the biggest names in the game, the 75-minute documentary-style release will present viewers with an in-depth, behind the scenes look at the Hip-Hop industry.
Using the respect that the Gangsta Grillz brand has garnered in the South, DJ Drama was able to talk to the groundbreaking artists who have made Southern Hip-Hop what it is today. And just as he was able to redefine the mixtape game, Drama hopes to expand the genre of Urban DVDs. A lot of the DVDs that are out are more like street videos, he explains. I wanted people to see that what goes on behind the scenes is business. Respect The Game features interviews with T.I., Ludacris, Bun B, Paul Wall, Lil Jon, Lil Wayne, Nelly, Pitbull, Killer Mike, Lil Scrappy, Bonecrusher, Jae Millz, P$C, and Stat Quo. Also appearing on the DVD are the some of the producers and tastemakers who helped make the sound of the South more palpable to those outside of the region, including DJ Jelly, DJ Toomp, Jazze Pha, Manne Fresh, Pharell Williams and Swizz Beatz.
The new DVD is just one more step towards making the Gangsta Grillz brand a household name. In July The Aphilliates launched Gangsta Grillz Radio, a weekly radio show on Atlantas Hot 107.9 (WHTA-FM), hosted by Drama alongside DJ Don Cannon and DJ Sense, the other founding members of the premier DJ collective. Drama is also currently working on the official Gangsta Grillz album, which will be released through Grand Hustle/Atlantic Records.
