*****************************************************
Hip-Hop is ready to push the envelope again. Town Business Network (TBN) has assembled a group of the San Francisco Bay Area's hottest acts to change the face of American politics. "Wake Yo' Game Up! Is a hip-hop album that promotes social change and empowerment through community awareness and the act of voting. Artists are free to explore the theme of Voting & Social Change with two limitations: songs are non-partisan and do not contain curse words. Wake Yo' Game Up! is part of TBN's broader Culture of Voting Project, which aims – among other things – to register 125,000 voters by October 20, 2008. Based on the paramount importance of this goal, all artists have agreed to donate their time and creative talents to this project.
TBN has released the first song and video off the album entitled, " Vote (Ready or not)" by Yung Moses. The music video will be used as a promotional tool for the Culture of Voting Project and the "Wake Yo' Game Up!" Album. The album will be distributed to a variety of venues in the Bay Area, such as high schools, colleges, shopping centers, barbershops, and community events. Through a generous in-kind donation, 1,000 thousand free copies of the album will be provided by TBN for distribution. These copies will be distributed at no charge to prospective voters throughout the country.

About The Town Business Network (TBN)
TBN, an Oakland-based non-profit organization, works to mobilize the Hip-Hop community around issues of education, non-violence, economic empowerment, and civic engagement. TBN's founder, Chuck Johnson, an East Oakland native and community organizer, envisioned bridging local politics and entertainment to mobilize the community, and began organizing voter awareness concerts, around the time of Oakland's primary elections. The popularity of the concerts, combined with the energy and enthusiastic response he received when visiting local colleges, inspired Johnson to grow the vision and build a
movement. The "Wake Yo Game Up!" Initiative was developed as a result, with a focus on addressing voter registration and participation in urban communities.. The goal of the Initiative is to reach young men and women in areas that have had a traditionally low voter turnout, mobilizing them to take action through civic engagement. Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums lends his support to the TBN's Initiative, stating, "'I am a citizen' is a profound political statement. We need the Hip-Hop community say to themselves, 'I am a citizen.' By being a citizen, you have to get out there and be knowledgeable, be informed, take action, and assert yourselves."
