THE EMERGENCE OF THE ARTIST KNOWN AS D'ANGELO...Star-Studded Album, Intimate Tour in the Works for 2009


2009 promises to be a banner year for multi-Grammy award winning artist D'Angelo. He is currently in the studio putting the finishing touches on his highly anticipated new musical excursion and gearing up for a Spring tour across the US. His upcoming CD – one of next year’s most anticipated – is slated for a summer release via J Records and will include collaborations with noted producer-songwriter Raphael Saadiq, producer Mark Ronson and the brilliant trumpeter Roy Hargrove. The songs they have recorded are infused with rhythmic and melodic magic that won't disappoint listeners. That is just the beginning, as D'Angelo is also expected to create pure alchemy with the legendary Prince, as well as the eclectic and always engaging Cee-Lo Green of Gnarls Barkley.


Additionally, in response to inquires from global fans, D'Angelo is gearing up for a new tour. According to his manager, Lindsay Guion, D’Angelo will resume stage performances this spring with some European dates and subsequent US performances. These engagements promise to be sizzling standing room only, sold out affairs. Cities and dates will soon be announced.

Koch Records, Now called E1 Music

Koch Records has announced that Harlem, New York rapper Jim Jones has joined the company’s executive staff, as Vice President of Urban A&R.

Jones will be responsible for singing and developing new talent for the Urban division of Koch Records, which is the #1 independent record label in the United States.

“It feels good to know that the hard work has been recognized by the same people that have helped me get to this point in my career,” Jones told AllHipHop.com in a statement. “They recognize that I’m not only an artist but a person that can smell talent and be able to mold a superstar.”

Jim Jones’ solo albums On My Way to Church (2004), Harlem: Diary of a Summer (2005) and Hustler's P.O.M.E. (2006) were all released via Koch Records.

Hustler’s P.O.M.E. contained Jones’ massive hit single “We Fly High (Ballin’).”

According to Alan Grunblatt, General Manager for Koch, Jones successes as a recording artist have helped put the label “on the map.”

“He truly knows what it takes to make a hit record. I am thrilled to be working with him for many years to come,” Grunblatt said.

The first release under Jones’ tenure with Koch will be the debut album by Juelz Santana’s new group, Skull Gang, which is due in stores February 24.

New singles from the album, “Body Like Mazi” and “Rock Starr” featuring Lil Wayne and Starr are scheduled to impact radio in the coming weeks.

Juelz Santana is also working on a new studio album that will be released in late 2009.
