HUNTSVILLE RAP GROUP G-SIDE HAVE BEEN A FAVORITE OF MINE FOR A LONG TIME NOW AND THEIR NEW LP MIGHT JUST BE THEIR BEST YET. TITLED ISLAND, IT IS DRIVEN BY SOME SERIOUSLY INNOVATIVE PRODUCTION CARE OF THE BLOCK BEATAZ AND FIRST CLASS RAPPING AS USUAL. FLIPPING THE GENRE OF SOUTHERN RAP ON IT’S HEAD WITHOUT LOSING SIGHT OF IT’S HISTORY, G-SIDE CAN BE PLACED IN A CONTINUUM BUT ALSO STAND ON THEIR OWN. FULLY ECLECTIC BUT STILL UP FRONT AND BANGING.

G-SIDE HAVE A 7″ (THEIR FIRST VINYL RELEASE) COMING OUT ON MY NEW LABEL THUNDER ZONE ENT. IN DECEMBER. IT IS THE DEBUT RELEASE ON THE LABEL AND I COULDN’T BE MORE EXCITED AND HONORED. WHATS MORE, IT FEATURES A REMIX BY JAVELIN ON THE B-SIDE. GO GET THE LP AND STAY TUNED HERE FOR MORE INFO ON ORDERING THE VINYL.

LET ME JUST GET INTO THIS STRAIGHT UP: I’M STARTING A NEW LABEL CALLED THUNDER ZONE ENT. AND I’M PSYCHED. WHAT ARE MY PLANS? I PLAN ON DOING ANYTHING I WANT AND GETTING EXTREMELY SICK WIT IT. TEE SHIRTS, ENERGY DRINKS, VINYL RECORDS, STICKERS, IPAD APPS – THERE ARE NO RULES. IN THE SPIRIT OF FACTORY RECORDS EVERYTHING GETS A CATALOG NUMBER BUT BEYOND THAT ANYTHING GOES.

I’M KICKING OFF THE LABEL WITH A LIMITED EDITION 7″ (TZ001) BY ONE OF MY FAVORITE CURRENT RAP GROUPS – HUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA’S G-SIDE. ON THE FLIP THERE IS AN EXCLUSIVE G-SIDE REMIX BY MY BUDDIES JAVELIN, READ ALL ABOUT IT OVER AT PITCHFORK. THE RECORD COMES OUT IN EARLY DECEMBER AND THERE WILL BE MUCH MORE INFO SOON. THE SECOND RELEASE (TZ002) WILL BE A LOGO STICKER DESIGNED BY ZANE REYNOLDS AKA SFV ACID.

2K12 WILL SEE ENERGY DRINKS AND TEE SHIRTS AND MORE RECORDS AND WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE. MORE ANNOUNCEMENTS SOON, THIS IS JUST THE START. I’M TRYING TO DO SOMETHING FOR THE ALL RAGERS AND THE DREAMERS OUT THERE.

ENTER THE THUNDER ZONE.
