Hip Hop is Music

Hey, this is Braille and I wanted to give everyone a quick update on what’s going on with the label.  We are still pushing our previous releases including records from Sivion, Surreal, Theory Hazit, Othello and Poems.  You can find all these releases and more in our online store and also on Itunes.  I haven’t had much time to keep this set updated lately because I’ve been preparing for the release of my forth solo record “The IV Edition”.  I’m going to spend all summer touring (my wife and daughter will be joining me) and once I get back it will be business as usual.  Our next release will be a solo record from Sojourn!!!  In the meantime, your support with “The IV Edition” would be greatly appreciated.  You can order your copy now from www.360vinyl.com, www.sphereofhiphopstore.com, www.qualityjunk.com, www.ughh.com, www.accesshiphop.com, the bus shop, Best Buy, Amazon and many more spots worldwide.  Below are some banners and pictures you can check out as well.

The Sounds of Poems have been Blooming around the world.  Check out this store display from a shop in Japan.  We also have vinyl out now and the album is going worldwide on digitally in February.  You can get your copy NOW in our online store featuring 15 tracks and production by Ohmega Watts, Stro and Mr. J of the Procussions, Vintage, Tony Stone, Choice 37 and more.

The Othello album “Alive At The Assembly Line” is now avaialable at Itunes.  You can pick up a copy of the album there or… if you already have it, leave your own personal feedback at Itunes as a review.  Thanks for the support.  Link below.

Braille and DJ Idull team up to offer “Box of History” as a free download mix. DJ Idull mixes and blends over 21 tracks from the last 8 years of Braille’s career. Most of these songs are from feature appearances and many of them are rare. Download the whole mix (two parts) at http://www.hiphopismusic.com/BOH/

The special splash/flash page for the mix was designed by Lain. The page is filled with secret links. You can grab the mix, the cover, the credits and read the full story all in one place. If you enjoy the mix, please consider supporting via donation. We are raising money to help cover promotional expenses for Braille’s new album “The IV Edition” coming Spring 2008.

The Buzz about Othello’s new album “Alive At The Assembly Line” has been spreading. Othello was a featured artist on myspace.com and his new video is getting great feedback so far.

Check out the new ECARD where you can watch the video, listen to some songs and purchase the album (download or CD). We really appreciate the support.
