Dante Thomas American R&B Singer and Musician

July 31, 2012 in News by TMC

| Website | Facebook | My Space | Twitter | You Tube | 26 Management |

Who is Dante Thomas? Lets start with a kid from SLC, UT. He came from the boulevard of broken homes and dreams, fueled by an unquenchable fire, blessed with the voice and gift of old Motown. He started from humble beginnings, the son of an opera singer, being taught to never give up or give in. 18yrs young, he heads to NYC, praying and working for his dream. Finally getting a break, he goes gold and platinum with a song called “Miss California”.

He begins touring with N’SYNC. He rubs shoulders and parties with the best of them. He cuts songs with Pink, Akon, Nick Carter, Pras, Neyo, Boys2Men, Intro and Snoop Dogg. He works with Scott Storch, Chucky Thompson, Vada Nobles, and Easy Mo Bee. But, like so many artist’s, he lost himself in the smoke and mirrors of the music industry.

If he were like most other artist’s, who have experienced such madness, he would have let his ship sink years ago.Yet he still believes his dreams are as magical and relevant as ever. He knows if he buries his talent in the ground, he might as well spit in Gods face. Besides, he also seeks to prove the doubter’s and the haters wrong, and at the same time, give his fans and the world, an artist that wasn’t created by corporate media, but an artist made from good old fashioned blood, sweat, and tears, the stuff legends are forged from. He analyzes his weakness’s and corrects them. He crafts a new album, he cuts his body up like a Roman statue. He reaches for Heaven, because he knows that in reaching for Heaven, the least he’ll attain is the golden gates.

Mr Flamboyant – Running in the fam

June 14, 2012 in News by TMC

| Facebook | Twitter |

Mr Flamboyant, aka Phalando Lawson, truly has music in his genes. This new force on the southern hip hop scene is cousin to none other than soul legend Gladys Knight.

But Mr Flamboyant is not content to live off the name of his illustrious relations. Here is an artist ready to explode onto the scene in his own right. And in a B-I-G way too.

His debut single ‘U Got Me Girl’ is a statement of intent from a rapper whose skills, lyricism and vocal ability put him one step ahead of the competition.

It is a smooth, languid summertime stomper of a tune. It is both a dancefloor killer and a lights-down chilling at home track. You can even imagine it blaring out the low-riders cruising down South Beach, with the sub-bass blaring.
It is a tune for the hip hop headz and the cross-over audience at the same time. It is as sure-fire hit as you are likely to hear all summer.
And don’t just take our word for it. ‘U Got Me Girl’ is already number 1 on the 365live radio chart and has been for an astonishing 10 weeks. Meanwhile, Mr Flamboyant has been booking gigs all over the southern states – and a few in the hip hop Mecca that is New York.
An artist that has spent time as a model and actor – and even as a limo driver! – Mr Flamboyant is ready to settle down to doing what he does best… making great, true, honest hop hop music.
‘U Got Me Girl’ is just the first of what are sure to be many, many hits. You best snatch a copy while you still can.

Ken Omega Former 90s Def Jam Lyricist New Release

April 25, 2012 in News by TMC

Former 90s Def Jam Lyricist, Ken Omega, to Release New Solo Hip Hop LP “Rematerializin”

Likens his absence from the music industry as being abducted by a UFO and resurfaces as a “rap astronaut” with superior MC skills.

(Brooklyn, NY) H Cipher Entertainment has released “Rematerializin” on April 23,2012, a new hip hop LP by Ken Omega.

Ken Omega has been on the hip hop scene for years rhymin’ and grindin’. Going by the name of Bosco Money, he was the vocalist (along with Sam Sever on the decks) for the 90′s Def Jam duo, Downtown Science. Their best known songs are “Room To Breathe”, “Radioactive”, “This Is a Visit”, “If I Was”, “Summertime” and “The Topic Drift”.

Since Def Jam, Ken Omega/Bosco Money went on to drop several underground, independent hits such as “I Get Lifted” & “Ride The B Side” in 1992 and “Da Plan” in 1993. After “Da Plan”, Ken Omega took a break from music to finish his BS in Business and Aviation, and complete his Private Helicopter License. He subsequently went on to gain his Commercial Helicopter Pilot rating as well. But it wasn’t long before he was back at the music.

In 1999 Ken Omega/Bosco Money Released the LP “Secret Agent” – a hip hop opera about a spy who goes undercover to rescue rap from the clutches of commercialism. In 2002 Ken explored other music genres and released the funk rock LP “Rock Star”. That album featured the highly acclaimed song “Sun God” which aired on the classic rock station Q104.3 FM in the NY / Tri-State area.

In 2003, Ken returned to hip hop, with a new LP called “Omega 710″. A new name and flow was beginning to emerge. The most noteworthy cuts off that album are “Heat”, “Is You Is” and “All Jokes Aside”, the last of which featured a guest appearance by MC Fortune 500. Read the rest of this entry →

Hip Hop Artist “Twenty Eight” release a new CD alone with that release comes the first hit single off the album “Take A Picture” “
This album is the first one out of the lab for me. It’s got something for everyone. It shows my evolution to a legacy.”

Even more impressive is his delivery: crisp flows accentuated by his nasal flow, enlivened by lush production. One part brain massage, one part funky production. 100% dope. 28 is not your typical rapper talking about all his materialistic, he more relates to the audience by talking about subject matter relative to all of of us. With this album you will see he has a certain finesse when it comes to his lyrics. He’s real and it’s good music to dance to. 28 will also be Co-Hosting a future a up and coming episode of the Crazy N Sane Hour that is currently being broadcast on this station.
