Big Sty Reps Richmond, Virginia With Heartfelt Tribute -- New Album, New Single
Big Sty opens doors For Virginia talent -- Richmond MC delivers powerful tribute to New Orleans.
Richmond, VA (PRWEB) January 25, 2006 -- Virginia has birthed some of the greatest superstars in today's urban music scene, including Missy Elliott, Pharrell and The Neptunes, D'Angelo, and Timbaland. With the fairly recent trend of Southern Hip Hop being at the forefront of popular music, tastemakers are beginning to discover that there is a wealth of talent still bubbling in Virginia. Richmond emcee Big Sty is at the forefront of the next movement, taking his clever songwriting abilities and masterful lyricism to every new fan he can reach. After building a buzz for himself in 2004 with the song "It's A Problem", Sty is making waves with his new song "Cry For Us" and is preparing to release his full-length debut album, Stycology, in April 2006.
In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, millions of Americans were touched, whether directly or indirectly, by the effects of the fatal storm. Big Sty found inspiration for his new song Cry For Us through his friends. I was on the road doing promotional a gig, he explains. I passed through Dallas, and a friend of mine who was with me had family members that had just relocated from New Orleans. I had a chance to talk to them and see the whole struggle they were going through with getting situated. Hearing the story from their mouths prompted me to do the song. Big Sty teamed with his labelmate, R&B singer Deshara Renee, to compose the endearing "Cry For Us" which speaks candidly on the situation. Everyone can listen to the song at www.tygereye.net/bigsty
As the Stycology album is being completed, Richmond-based label Accurate Music Group is standing behind Big Sty's vision. Rather than use his many connections in the industry to grab big name guest spots for the LP, Sty is giving opportunities to his fellow Virginia artists to showcase their talents. Commissioner Wigg, Boog in the Hood, Jimmy Boon, Ruin, and Chief all make appearances on Stycology, as do Richmond producers Tetris, Absolut, J.B. Easy, DJ Mark, and J.K. Miller. People keep saying keep it real or keep it gangsta," says Big Sty. "Im keeping it authentically me.
