ADaD Wins Rhymefest's "Give it to me contest"

Rhymefest Picks A Winner of The "Give It To Me" Contest from Ruby Hornet on Vimeo.

It has just been announced that Chicago rapper ADaD has won Rhymefest's ““Give It To Me” Contest.
RubyHornet teamed up with Grammy Award winning rapper Rhymefest and dNBE Entertainment to offer independent artists a chance to appear on Fest's forthcoming album, El Che. The track up for grabs is entitled "Give It To Me" and is produced by Scram Jones. Also featured on the track is rapper Saigon

RubyHornet.com stated: "Not only is Rhymefest giving one undiscovered talent the opportunity to be featured on an epic album, he is also hoping to launch the career of a new dynamic voice in Hip Hop. The winning contestant will not only be featured on the digital version of the single, but will also appear in the video for the song when it debuts.”

“ADaD is a great choice for "Give It To Me". Says Ruby Hornet's founder and Editor in Cheif DJ RTC. "Going through the entries was
not an easy thing, and there were many solid ones. There were also a lot of not very good ones. Rhymefest set a tone and theme for the song, and ADaD not only stuck to it, but he brought something new with his verse. Based on the previous works from ADaD, I'm not really surprised at all that he turned in the winning entry. ADaD is that dope”

DJ RTC isn't the only one who feels this way. ADaD has been getting a lot of attention recently for being picked as one of URB Magazine's 25 fastest emerging artists in their 25 NOW! Issue: http://www.urb.com/2009/11/08/25now .
Producer Exile has chosen ADaD to be the next MC he champions. ADaD and Exile are currently working on a full length together to be released earl 2010.
San Francisco based label Frite Nite will be releasing 2 songs from ADaD alongside producers: Low Limit of Lazer Sword and Salva in the beginning of 2010.
All Natural inc. will also be releasing an album with ADaD's side project Eulorhythmics February 2010

ADaD Invades L.A. - VIDEO - Exile, U-N-I

From Ruby Hornet:

"ADaD is just racking them up. The Chicago emcee was named to URB's 25 Now, had an interesting Taco lunch and is currently working on a full length album with L.A.'s Exile. ADaD made a trip out to the Sunshine state early last month to start the project, and he took the RH cam with him (shouts to Adam Leaders). Hit the jump to see ADaD's trip to L.A. in its fully glory in a piece we call "ADaD Invades L.A.", with guest appearances from Exile, and our good friends in U-N-I as well."

Toine's Music Dealers Featured Artist

BLAH BLAH BLAH

Happy Tuesday everyone, this week’s Featured Artist has a sound that would make one believe that they were born and raised in the era of British Rock’s heyday. However you would be surprised to know that Blah Blah Blah is a diverse group of musicians creating their music from right here in Chicago.

The band is made up of Solomon (Guitar/Vocals), Dario (Drums), Byron (Bass), and Phillip (Guitar/Keyboards) what makes their sound so appealing is that while each band member is a very good at their respective instrument, there is no one that attempts to stand out. The result is a great blend of musicianship that acts as a canvas for Solomon’s voice to paint vivid pictures.

Here is their song "After Midnight" which I think is great check it out:

This band’s sound is a bit reminiscent of Radiohead (earlier material) and the The Smiths in my opinion, although Blah Blah Blah still manages to add a bit of pop appeal to their music. Be sure to catch them live and witness a great band on the rise.
