What up? Another positive month chalked up and another busy month coming. 2002 has definitely shown more signs of life in the hip hop atmosphere in the state of Washington, and in the midst of all the activity, Bow Wow has remained equally active in this era.
As usual we share our accomplishments with you monthly, and inform you to all our upcoming venues. And boy, do we have news for you, so buckle up and let's get right to it.
First, I would like to welcome the hundreds of folks that were added to our mailing list in the last 60 days. I hope you find this press letter informative and beneficial to your use.
WHERE WE BEEN?
I know a lot of you have been wondering, "Where we been?" Especially since you haven't been seeing a press letter for 90 days but I am happy to report that we are very much alive, up and running. We have been extremely busy. As you know, the summertime is the most active time for folks in the industry and we have been doing various shows with cats like E40, Keak Da Sneak, N2Deep, the Mossie, Mitchy Slick, Cool Nutz, and many more. Anyways, here is what we got cooking:

The debut album from Mac Money is complete, and has an official date of August 13th. We held back on the whole thing and changed a few tracks because of various conflicts of interests but no longer will you have to wait. This colossal piece of work features:

Well, I hate to sound like a broken record but our new site is still not up! This is my fault. I'm trying so hard to make you guys a website like no other from the region, I just never knew it would be so time consuming. I decided to go back to the drawing board and add original features that no other site has, so of course that has slowed down the process. Everything is going fine and should only take a few more weeks.
