Grand Entertainment & Music, Inc. Announces Big Lou's First Mixtape Release
Grand Entertainment & Music, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: GMSC) is pleased to announce that Big Lou has nearly finished recording his
first Mixtape under DJ Kay Slay, and it is set to be released in the next 3
weeks.
"Playtime is Over," Big Lou's first Mixtape under famed DJ and producer DJ
Kay Slay, is just about finished. All of the tracks were recorded and cut
at The Cutting Room Studios in New York and Polygon Studios in New Jersey.
The production is set to be released within the next three weeks, and will
be sold on all major internet outlets and in major stores throughout the
U.S.
Big Lou performed one of his new tracks at his show last weekend, and
received a great response. Lost City put out another new track from
"Playtime is Over" on Big Lou's MySpace page
(www.MySpace.com/BigLouTheSpanishFrankWhite). "Wu Homage" was released two
weeks ago on the site, and it has already been played over 8,400 times.
The release has received rave reviews from fans across the country. DJ Kay
Slay has been promoting the release of the Mixtape on his radio show on
Shade 45 (Sirius Satellite), and on his nightly show on New York's Hot 97
(the #1 R&B/Hip Hop station in the country).
"This is a major development in Big Lou's career, and a huge step for Lost
City Records," stated Frank Urban, Big Lou's manager. "As Lost City's top
artist, this Mixtape will introduce Big Lou to thousands of fans who have
never heard of him before. In conjunction with the recent media blitz,
hundreds of thousands of potential fans, domestically and internationally,
will be exposed to Big Lou's music. It's no secret that the international
community has embraced rap music over any other genre. They are very
supportive of new exciting artists; especially artists with the musical
range and talent that Big Lou offers."
