THE A¹Z SIGNS WITH TVT RECORDS
*Bay Area Rap Group To Release New Album 2007*
New York, NY * TVT Records announces the signing of the leading group of the
hyphy movement, Oakland¹s The A¹z. The A¹z are poised to shoot to national
prominence after several years of local dominance with their hot new anthem
³Yadadamean,² Bay Area slang for ³you know what I mean.² The group will
release an untitled debut album on TVT Records in 2007.
Hailing from the streets of North Oakland, East Oakland, and Southside
Richmond, The A¹z are A.E., Speedy, and Ice, all sporting the government
name of Alex. Formerly a group named 4 Deep, The A¹z have been making
serious noise since 1997 * they were the first hyphy trio to get serious
radio play in the Bay area and with their legion of young fans, popular rock
group Smashmouth proclaimed them ³The Beatles of the Bay.²
"We chose to go with TVT because we¹ve seen how they really grind it out for
an artist,² says Speedy of The A¹z. ³They did their thing with Lil Jon and
crunk and now it¹s time for the Bay Area to get some shine. We¹re about to
bring the Yay to the next level.²
³The Hyphy movement has had a lot of heat but not a real breakout hit act.
The A¹z have exactly the kind of energy to make the movement huge," says TVT
Records President, Steve Gottlieb. ³We see massive crossover potential with
The A¹z and this signing makes TVT¹s hip-hop catalogue truly full of
coast-to-coast artists.²
Like the South¹s crunk before it, now the hyphy of The A¹z TVT is now poised
to help push a regional style of hip-hop with an already huge fanbase firmly
into the mainstream.
