ILLMind is looking for new talent for up-coming "Blaps, Rhymes & Life" digital release!
"Blaps, Rhymes, & Life" is a mixtape series that consists of major artists (50 Cent, Eminem, LL Cool J, etc) and up-coming artists that Illmind has produced for.
This is where you come in...
The way it works is pretty simple. The tracks you purchase from Illmind are exclusive, meaning they are yours to use on your own project(s), album, mixtape, etc. In addition, you will have at least one of the songs placed on Illmind's up-coming BLAPS, RHYMES & LIFE free digital compilation.
The compilation boasts close to 200,000 downloads worldwide, and a new compilation drops quarterly (on average 3-4 times/year). The BLAPS, RHYMES & LIFE compilations have quickly become a staple in the internet world, and will give you guaranteed exposure on sites like www.2dopeboyz.com - www.nahright.com - www.smokingsection.net - and many more (each site averaging more than 1,000,000 unique visitors per month).
Also, each compilation is coupled with an official release party, which previously was hosted by Hot 97's Miss Info , video director extraordinaire Rik Cordero, and sponsored by some of today's hottest clothing companies, such as Crooks & Castles. During these release parties, the compilation is played throughout the night to a large crowd of party go-ers, a&r's, managers, taste makers, bloggers, and press.
We hold this compilation series very seriously, and it's an incredible opportunity to get your music heard. Who better than to have it be produced by ILLMIND.
Benefits of being on a Blaps, Rhymes, & Life digital release:
1. Digital distribution to 125,000 person email list (including a&r's, DJ's, execs, artists, music fans, and more!), through DJ Dub MD.
2. Official Blaps, Rhymes, & Life release party, with the opportunity to network and expand your contacts.
3. A one of a kind opportunity to be on an official release alongside other talented up-and-comers, as well as established artists that Illmind is producing for!
4. The mixtape is FREE to the public for download. This means more hits and a great way to get your name out.
5. It's an ADDITIONAL benefit to you, the artist! Not only do you have an Illmind produced track (or more) to use on your own project(s), but the track(s) will be pushed heavy, with no additional effort from you!

Music in Black History: Michael Jackson
Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American singer, dancer and entertainer. Referred to as the King of Pop, he is recognized as the most successful entertainer of all time, and one of the most influential. His contributions to music, dance and fashion,[1] and a much publicized personal life, made him a global figure in popular culture for over four decades.
Alongside his brothers, he made his debut as lead singer and youngest member of The Jackson 5 in 1964. He began his solo career in 1971. His 1982 album Thriller remains the best-selling album ever, with Off the Wall (1979), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991) and HIStory (1995) among the world's best-selling albums ever. He is sometimes credited with having elevated the music video from mere promotional tool into an art form: his videos for Billie Jean, Beat It and Thriller made him the first African American artist to amass a strong crossover following on MTV. Jackson popularized a number of physically complicated dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk. His distinctive musical, vocal style and choreography are credited with having transcended generational, racial and cultural barriers.
Jackson is one of the few artists inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice. Other achievements include several Guinness World Records (including Most Successful Entertainer of All Time), Grammy Awards (including the Living Legend Award and a Lifetime Achievement Award) and 26 American Music Awards, more than any other artist, 24 in a solo capacity and including one as Artist of the Century. He had 17 number one singles in the US, including four as a member of the Jackson 5, and estimated world sales of 750 million records,[2] making him one of the highest-selling recording artist ever.[3]
Jackson's personal life generated controversy for years. His changing appearance was noticed from the late 1970s onwards, with changes to his nose, and skin color, causing much media speculation. Though no charges were brought at the time, he was accused of child sexual abuse in 1993. In 2005 he was tried and acquitted of similar charges. He married twice, first in 1994 and again in 1996. He brought up three children, one born to a surrogate mother. While preparing for the This Is It concert tour in 2009, Jackson died at the age of 50 after suffering from cardiac arrest. He reportedly had been administered drugs such as propofol and lorazepam, and his death was ruled a homicide by the Los Angeles County coroner. His death triggered an outpouring of grief from around the world, and his globally live-broadcast memorial service attracted an audience of up to one billion people.[4] His death also precipitated a huge surge in his album sales, resulting in his becoming the best-selling artist of 2009 in both the United States and globally, with sales in excess of 8.2 million units in the U.S.[5] Also in the United States, he became the first artist ever to have four of the top 20 best-selling albums in a single year.[6] Globally, he posthumously sold 29 million albums, and had an unprecedented eight of the top 25 best-selling albums worldwide.[7]

Music in Black History: James Yancey aka J. Dilla
This is how we gonna start off Music in Black History Month! Everyday im gonna be bringing you an African American artist that has influenced me and my journey towards musical genius. Partake
James Dewitt Yancey (February 7, 1974 – February 10, 2006),[1] better known by the stage names J Dilla and Jay Dee, was an American Grammy Nominated record producer who emerged from the mid-1990s underground hip hop scene in Detroit, Michigan. According to his obituary at NPR.org, he "was one of the music industry's most influential hip-hop artists, working for big-name acts like De La Soul, Busta Rhymes and Common."[2]
Yancey's career began slowly. He has now become highly regarded, most notably for the production of critically acclaimed albums by Common, Busta Rhymes, A Tribe Called Quest, and The Pharcyde. He was a member of Slum Village for their acclaimed debut album Fantastic, Vol. 2.[1]
In the early 2000s, Yancey's career as a solo artist began to improve; A solo album Welcome 2 Detroit was followed by a collaborative album with California producer Madlib, Champion Sound, which catalyzed the careers of both artists. Just as his music was becoming increasingly popular, Yancey died in 2006 of the blood disease TTP.
Following his death, the hip hop community became centered upon the music and image of J Dilla.[3] Many of the artists with whom Yancey worked performed or recorded tributes, and a large group of followers voiced their support for the late musician. Yancey's music experienced a rebirth as the producer gained many times more listeners than he had during his life, partly due to media exposure. Though several posthumous albums have been released and others are planned, the massive amounts of unreleased recordings by the producer remain somewhat undetermined. Yancey's estate has also been controverted.
