New Record Label Focuses on D.C.'s Hip Hop Talent

Washington, D.C. - November 2005 - Mad Power Unit, a highly successful entertainment production and promotions company, recently launched Mad Power Unit Records in an effort to provide D.C.s plethora of talented Hip Hop artists with a vehicle of exposure.

Beneath the cityscape of the nations capital where politics, posh living and poverty collide, lies a blossoming underground Hip Hop circuit. Currently, Washington, D.C. boasts scores ofphenomenal Hip Hop artists. Yet, the acts in this complex city (which ranks as one of the top consumer markets of Hip Hop music) fail to ever reach mainstream status.

With the talent that D.C. has to offer and the citys strong consumer position, it amazes me that the major labels have not thoroughly invested in D.C. artists, says Tupac D. of Mad Power Unit Records. Mad Power Unit Records strives to take D.C. Hip Hop artists to another level.

Mad Power Unit Records was years in the making. As the owners of Mad Power Unit ultimately had the vision, knowledge of the business and more than enough talent around them, launching a label was inevitable. Additionally, over the past decade, Mad Power Unit has established relationships with some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry.

Mad Power Unit Records flagship artist is D.E.B.O., whos first single So Hood is a top pick on metropolitan Washington radio stations including 95.5 (WPGC) and 93.9 (WKYS). So Hood Currently appears on D.E.B.O. and TIS The Weed and the Dutch Mixtape Vol. 4 (Mad Power Unit Records/Outta Nowhere Records).

We encourage and appreciate the support of D.C. based Hip Hop fans, radio and other media, as Mad Power Unit Records understands that this is a critical factor in the artists becoming nationally recognized, adds Tupac D.

Mad Power Unit Records has recently joined forces with other D.C. based imprints. Together, they will release a collaborative effort, which showcases the best Hip Hop talent that D.C. has to offer. This stellar project, which will surely put all eyes on the Capital Citys Hip Hop market, is slated for release in 2006.

With an ear to the streets and extensive plans for the New Year, Mad Power Unit Records will clearly enjoy the fruits of their labor.
