PRESS RELEASE: TASTE THIS! MAYA AZUCENA’S FIRST OFFICIAL MIX CD

Maya Azucena’s first official Mix CD, TASTE THIS!, sponsored by AllHipHop.com, Intlx Productions, Luka Brazzi and Foundation Media,is available promotionally on MAY 15TH.

Mixed by Amore (of Fat Beats acclaim), the CD has 16 songs, ten of which are brand new, never before released singles.

Taste This! was created especially for Maya’s HipHop and DJ fans. She wanted to give them something to bop their heads to — a suitable follow up to her acoustic-based Purpose Records release of last year, Junkyard Jewel.

Maya states, “I want my DJs and HipHop-heads to have some material they can support on their shows and at clubs.”

A critically acclaimed singer and songwriter, Maya Azucena has made her way around the globe as an independent force. Her vocals have been compared to Chaka Khan, Roberta Flack, and Ella Fitzgerald. Her spirit has joined her to artists with meaning in all genres. She has been favorably reviewed in Billboard, Washington Post, Village Voice, NY Post, Recording Magazine, and more, both nationally and internationally: from Croatia and China, to Amsterdam and Sri Lanka. She was named by http://www.allhiphop.com/ as Best Alternative Artist of the Year in ‘o6 and has been nominated 2 years in a row as Best Female Vocalist of the Year at the world’s largest soul website: SoulTracks.com. In the grassroots and HipHop world, Maya has upcoming releases with Immortal Technique, Cheeks (Lost Boyz), Dres (Black Sheep), Hasan Salaam, Doujah Raze, Torae and Supa Nova Slom, to name a few. Her recently past collabs have included Stephen Marley, A-Alikes, Pete Miser, Boot Camp Clik, Krumbsnatcha, Luquantumleap, a! nd Black Panther (partial list). Taste This! is a sliver of Maya Azucena’s recent works, a journey into the different colors of her voice, and just a way for you to get a taste of something that makes ya head bop, and ya mouth water. Taste This! That’s what we’re trying to say.

*Official single: REBEL, featuring Immortal Technique, Hasan Salaam, and Ness (of A-Alikes), produced by Pete Miser Radio Requests for single: Contact JJ of Foundation Media:jj@foundation-media.comAllHipHop.comMayaAzucena.com

A name that truly needs no introduction...no explanation...one that speaks for itself. Lalah's forthcoming album, "Self Portrait" will be released in the US on June 3rd and ONUTSS proudly announces that the album will be featured at the next ONUTSS event (June 2nd).
"Let Go" (*smile* Monray & Andrea) the first single and accompanying video from the album is making its way UP the Billboard charts and is being played on airwaves everywhere. The video made its debut on BETJ last weekend and features some members of Lalah's forum, affectionately dubbed "The Pink Room" -- showcasing their skills on four wheels. If you haven't had an opportunity to see the video on BETJ, check it out.

Don't miss this one -- there will be opportunities for you to win a copy of "Self Portrait" a few hours before the official release.

And though Lalah will not be able to join us for this listening party, she will be performing at New York's BB King Blues Club & Grill on June 4th & 5th. (Tickets & show info)
