ARTISTREE - ARTIST / ENTERTAINMENT

Name of Artist: ARTISTREE
Type of Entertainment: R&B/HIP HOP
History/Bio: A creative integration of music, vocals and poetic ideas. These Pittsburgh vocalists/rap artists consisting of four lifelong friends are blending harmonies and hip/hop into a unique mix of R&B. "Music is an art form," says the group. "We are still growing and developing...branching out the more we work together. This album reflects our growth and maturity." If it is a ballad you want: they can sing it. If it is straight hip/hop you seek: they can kick it. And if you can't seem to make up your mind they can integrate it all together to create something truly unique!

The many styles of Artistree, produced Mindbender Productions, are heard in songs like 'If the Time is Right' which is a straight ballad where the group members display singing abilities that would make any woman weak. For R&B and hip/hop lovers, 'Let Her Go' is a jam showcasing their rhyming and singing styles.

Artistree plans to continue on the journey of having a positive image in which younger listeners can look up to. They feel they have a gift and want to share it with other people. Artistree is focused on their personal musical development, and they are striving to be a major force in the music industry. Artistree has added a new member to the group and he is none other than Pittsburgh's R&B legend Sterling Copeland. There will be more information to come about Sterling.

All of the songs on 'Ride With Me' reflect personal episodes they have encountered. "We write about what we know and experience," says Artistree. Each group member brings something special to each song:

SIX DEUCE ENTERTAINMENT - ARTIST / ENTERTAINMENT

Name of Artist: SIX DEUCE ENTERTAINMENT - Maleec "M.O.B" Blue, The Oneman Army, Fahrenheit, Big Dame, and Skinny Ta
Type of Entertainment: Hip Hop and Media Company
History/Bio: Six Deuce Entertainment founded in 2000. Beginning members M.O.B., The Oneman Army, Fahrenheit, Big Dame, and Skinny Ta. First Album "Life Struggles" underground released in 2000, contained 16 tracks. Cooked at a simmer on college campuses and spilled into neighboring communities. The album had a mix of East Coast, West Coast, and Mid West flavor. That's right we were the first to do it. East Coast and Mid West beats with East and West Coast flow. Presently we are 9 strong and getting stronger. the foundation has stayed strong with a few adjustments around the edges. With Skinny Ta going back to Cali his presence will be sorely missed but, he left us with mad music an rhymes to sample from and mx into our new stuff. Big Dame has turned over a new leaf and is doing a gospel album. I've previewed the music he put down for it and the beats are as hardcore as ever but the lyric content has changed dramaticly. Good luck to them on their future endeavors. (I've got a feeling that we'll be hearing from Ta soon though.) But Dame has left us with quite a few beats so, you will be hearing those on upcoming albums.

History/Bio: Wiz Khalifa continues his march to the forefront of the hip hop scene in Pittsburgh and is on the verge of taking his city to heights never before approached. His reputation has continued to grow since the local publicity rush of mid-summer, which placed Wiz on the covers of almost every major publication in the city. He has performed at the Aliquippa Alliance Benefit show alongside guest host DJ Bonics from 96.1 KISS FM, rocked the mic in front of hundreds at the yearly Pittsburgh fashion show, headlined shows at Pittsburgh’s Shadow Lounge, starred at Club Cozumel on the last night of the Pittsburgh Hip Hop Film Festival, opened for national hip hop star Jadakiss, and showcased his skills on television by performing the theme song for Pittsburgh Steeler star Joey Porter’s weekly show.

His massive presence on the Internet has allowed the world to see him and hear his voice. In just three months, WizKhalifa’s profile on myspace.com has exploded onto the national scene. It has been visited in excess of 10,000 times, tracks played over 7,000 times, and a fanbase all over the world of 3,500 which grows by the minute and eagerly awaits the release of “Prince Of The City”, Wiz’s soon to be nationally distributed mixtape hosted by Big Mike.
