Rick Ross M.I.YAYO: the Soundtrack
Rick Ross embodies the streets of Miami
right down to his name and style of his
facial hair taken from one of the most
infamous street figures in Miami’s history.
Now Rick is here to tell the story of these
streets as only he can with “M.I.Yayo”.
“M.I.Yayo takes its name taken from the
slang words for Miami and cocaine and is a
groundbreaking documentary about the
real Miami, true murder and cash capital of
America, told in a manner stylistically
similar to the History Channel’s “Gangland”
or in the film “Cocaine Cowboys”, but this is
much more by and of the Streets. Executive
Producer Rick Ross brought in Chris
Larceny to direct this true story of the ten
biggest dope kings of the late 80s and early
90s in Miami. Ross narrates stories of
notoriously iconic figures such as Quartz,
Flowerman, Bo-Diddly, Bunkie Brown, Big
Ike, Convertible Burt, Rick Brownlee and of
course “Freeway” Rick Ross.
The documentary also talks about Miami’s
most notorious gangs Vonda, John Doe
and the Boobie Boys. The “M.I.Yayo”
soundtrack is included in this double-disc
packaging and both the movie and the
music are designed to be placed in Rick
Ross section of your store for maximum
exposure.
The soundtrack features music from and
inspired by “M.I.Yayo” with production by
Street Radio and Jimi Kendrix who is no
stranger to the streets himself having been
raised up in Queens, NY. And the streets
certainly know Kendrix with resume that
includes Jay-Z, Ja Rule, Ashanti, Styles P,
AZ, Bone, Thugs-N-Harmony, Jadakiss,
Foxy Brown and many more! The musical
backdrop supplied by Kendrix and Street
Radio underscores the bleak and ultra
violent story that unfolds on screen. Chris
Larceny has spent years on the film and
says that when he was approached by
Ross to do this project, “I immediately
started to research the history of Carol City,
Overtown and Liberty City. After collecting
footage for three years and putting the actual
project together, I can truly say this will be
‘one of the best documentaries ever seen’.
It’s not only about dope kingpins who came
from nothing, it also covers the corruption in
Miami, the Christmas Day killings, and turf
wars all the way up to and including the telling
of these events by the media. Not only are
you getting a story about the streets, but the
story is being told by the streets”.

TRAVELING
"I have a song coming out on my new record that’s
called “A Brief History of My Life". It tells the story
of my family moving to Pasadena from Halifax and
taking an oath that we wouldn’t join the
Communist party. That’s the first thing I remember
— standing next to my dad, and him becoming an
American citizen." -Steve Poltz
Steve Poltz's journey has just re-started with the
release of "Traveling". The sky is the limit for this
prolific writer and performer with a dual citizenship
- that's right, two passports.
Steve Poltz is the only songwriter in the world with
the range to have written tunes with Jewel ("You
Were Meant For Me" ...the longest charting song
in Billboard history), Glen Tillbrook ("Hot Shaved
Asian Teens"), and Mojo Nixon ("UPS My
Heart"). Currently, another song he co-wrote,
"You Remind Me", is featured in a national Jeep
commercial (the "Sandbox" ad).
Poltz, who pioneered punk-folk
music as the front man for The
Rugburns, is a unique and gifted
singer-songwriter with a colorful past
whose live performances are
mesmerizing and whose recorded
material has been consistently
critically acclaimed.

Crash Romeo
“If you like fun, singing along,
and rocking out this is a band for
you.”
-Punk News
“Combining the catchy youthful
qualities of bands like Simple
Plan and the Starting Line with
the energy and passion of
Taking back Sunday and Sum 41
-Metal Hammer
Gave Me the Clap
Following up their debut album Minutes to Miles,
Crash Romeo is set to release Gave Me the Clap.
Crash Romeo has the hooks, melodies, and classic
song writing of power pop, meshed with younger
punk aggression. They coexist nicely in both the
rock scene and among more punk-influenced bands,
nestled between influences such as Social Distortion
and Face to Face.
The band is made up of five friends, Travis Weber
(vocals), Ryan Weber (drums), Steve Anderson
(guitar), Lil’ Steve Matthews (bass, vocals) and
Adam Nordmeyer (synths, keyboard).
These guys have been playing music for over eight
years, and they are all self taught musicians under
the age of twenty-five! Crash Romeo is named after
a combination of the character traits that all of the
band members share, referring to relationships and
past experiences, especially as their previous band,
Centsless. They feel that the reason that Crash
Romeo runs so smoothly is that the members of the

band know each other so well. A unique fixture
within Crash Romeo’s sound is the prominent
synth parts in many of their songs. Says Travis:
“We felt that adding synths and keyboards to
our band would give a whole new and unusual
element, and that giving us a lot of synth-driven
melodies would make us more distinctive.”
“The hooks, melodies, and classic song writing of power pop, meshed with younger punk
aggression.” – Alternative Press

12. The Old Crossroad
Cross-pollination has been a mainstay
throughout Ricky's career. From his weekly
collaborations with various artists as host of
The Nashville Network's Monday Night
Concerts in the 1990's to his most recent
pairing with renowned pianist and songwriter
(not to mention Virginia native) Bruce Hornsby.
Backed by Kentucky Thunder and a few
special guests, Ricky Skaggs and Bruce
Hornsby (Sony/Legacy) draws from deep roots
in mountain music - adding piano and
Hornsby's inimitable songwriting to the core
bluegrass lineup of mandolin, guitar, bass,
fiddle, and banjo. A major CMT Crossroads
special accompanied the album, released in
March of 2007.
Ricky Skaggs has often said that he is "just
trying to make a living" playing the music he
loves. But it's clear that his passion for
bluegrass puts him in the position to bring this
lively, distinctively American form of music out
of isolation and into the ears and hearts of
audiences across the country and around the
world. Blessed with a close-knit family, and
abundance of talent, a lifetime of
musical experience and a crack band
behind him, Ricky Skaggs is well on
the way to showing the world that
"country rocks, but bluegrass rules!"

Universal Love
In the Mid 1980’s a young and hungry Pato Banton was
making noise in the UK and an integral part in establishing
a vital Reggae culture in the European nation. After
rehearsals and shows around the UK and Europe and a
classic Mad Professor collaboration already under his belt,
Pato went on to record his second album “Never Give In!” It
is this record that remains Pato’s best selling record to date
and the most celebrated by the numerous American
musicians who have come to proclaim him among their
greatest influences. The Beastie Boys famously sampled
the lyric “I do not sniff the coke I only smoke sensimilla” on
their Paul’s Boutique record. And, Queen Latifah’s biggest
hit “U.N.I.T.Y.” was a direct interpolation of Pato’s original
lyrics as well. Everyone from Sublime to Jack Johnson to
Damian Marley to countless others continue to hold Pato
and his influence in the highest of regard.
After years of chart success and continuous touring, Pato
decided to step away from the music business and
continue on his path of Positivity. In the comfort of his own
home studio, Pato acquired the help of long time friend and
top producer Paul Horton to recorded his tenth album “Life
is a Miracle”, which gained a Grammy Nomination and
clearly defined the lyrical, musical, and spiritual growth of
this outstanding artist.
Today, after having his time away from the business, Pato
has gained back the reverted rights to his masterpiece
“Never Give In” and has selected independent Reggae-
loving SoCal based Cornerstone Recording Arts
Society, to re-release a 20th anniversary edition of
this gem, with updated special packaging and some
bonus tracks. And, with great enthusiasm, Pato
continues to tour relentlessly, backed by the Mystic
Roots Band (voted top Reggae Band by the Los
Angeles Music Awards). Dates with Matisyahu, 311,
Michael Franti & Spearhead, and the Wailers in 2007
are fine examples of the clout this legend carries and
signs of where the triumphant return of Pato Banton is
headed.

Tall Firs
Too Old to Die
“In gems like "The Breeze" and "The
Woods," their duo vocals are moody,
without squawking in that already
dated freak-folk style; the guitars are
occasionally colored by chimes,
organ and brushed drums. "Go
Whiskey" has the high, lonesome
shiver of an old Townes Van Zandt
record, except without any obvious
country affectations. If your idea of
staying warm on a winter night is a
bottle of bourbon and a bleak
memory, Tall Firs will make excellent
company. “
-ROLLING STONE
After a 2006 debut, which drew accolades
from Rolling Stone, Vice, NME, Q, and
Harp amongst others, Tall Firs return with a
second dose of songs showcasing a new
non-drowsy formula in their sophomore
release Too Old to Die Young. First record
masterminds Dave Mies and Aaron Mullan
have now been joined by drummer Ryan
Sawyer as the third full-time Fir, and the
results are like a fine cough syrup: A
confusing, bittersweet concoction laced with
just enough speed to keep you feeling a bit
better about the world of sickness closing in
around you.
Too Old to Die Young maintains the
lugubrious lyrical stylings Tall Firs accolades
demand. The band are unafraid to invoke the
pocket-orchestra balladry of the first record,
tastily accomplished on songs like 'Secrets +
Lies' and 'Good Intentions.' But several new
strands have entered the gene pool as well,
and the outcome is no chimera of crudely
assembled influences, but a cohesive new
beast.
TRACK LISTING:
1. So Messed Up
2. Blue in the Dark
3. Harido
4. Good Intentions
5. Warriors
6. Lookout
7. Loveless
8. Hippies
9. Secrets and Lies
Like its 16-years in the making predecessor,
Too Old to Die Young took time to
happen.
Certain songs date from 2001, and
recording proper started January 2005.
Between that time and the album's
completion the band criss-crossed North
America twice, performed at All
Tomorrow's Parties in the UK, opened
dates in Europe for Shellac, and did a
short headlining tour of England. Regular
apparations at Brooklyn and Manhattan
hotspots find the band on bills with the
aforementioned Celebration, Effi Briest,
Dragons of Zynth, The Thurston

process of losing things I found me; I
came home. It's amazing to feel again,
good and bad, there's no place I'd rather
be than Right Here Right Now". Inspiring
words from Kitchener-Waterloo's Jamie
Warren, who is about to release his 5th
cd on April 1st. Titled "Right Here Right
Now". This multiple Juno nominated, and
CCMA award winner has the distinction
of being Canada's most acknowledged
independent country artist. Following the
release of this cd and his performance on
Canada AM, Jamie starts a 20 date
Canadian tour, starting in Red Deer and
ending in Halifax. This tour also features
Duane Steele and Willie Mack. Check
out jamiewarren.com for more details.
Jamie just released the single "She Just
Loves To
Dance" to radio, early indications is that it's
a hit, which should peak about the time the
cd hits stores. He will also support this
release with 3 Factor funded u-tube videos
and be on the cover of Country Music
News for April ‘08. This is the best cd
Jamie has written and recorded; his first
since his greatest hits in 2004. He's iconic,
yet still very relevant.

God Fires Man
A Billion Balconies Facing the Sun
“NY quartet God Fires Man
straddle punk, hardcore
and alt-rock with noteperfect precision” –
Kerrang!
TRACK LISTING:
1. Braille Graffiti
2. Be Here Forever
3. Killer
4. Happy Unhappy
5. Heartbreak
6. Melt Away
7. Dark
8. Simple Things
9. The Shrug
10. Sermons
God Fires Man are four like-minded
souls, united by a common ability to
produce a perfect punch of intelligent,
melody-driven, intense alt-rock the way
far too many have forgotten.
Cutting their teeth in an array of previous
bands - Arty from the critically acclaimed
Errortype:11 and Instruction, Joseph
from Garrison and the debauched,
sexually deviant Gay for Johnny Depp
and Drew Thomas from Into Another and
Walking Concert – the gentlemen from
God Fires Man have sampled both the
delights and downfalls of being in a band.
From playing both anarchist squats and
sold out tours and festivals in front of
tens of thousands to being wined and
dined by major labels with empty
promises and failed commitments,
they’ve seen all corners of an everchanging industry and channelled these
experiences into their music. The result
is a rounded mix of influences from Museesque
epic
soundscapes
to
the
experimental walls of noise of early
nineties Smashing Pumpkins with a nod to
shoe-gazing heroes My Bloody Valentine.
A Billion Balconies Facing the Sun was
recorded with Ethan Dussault (Cave-In, Lot
6) and Brian Virtue (Audioslave, Deftones,
Jane’s Addiction).
KEY SELLING POINTS:
Distribution of CD samplers, Disc Revolt cards, 11 x 17 Posters, Stickers, ecards, Video for songs “Dark” and “Killer”

Easy Star All-Stars Until That Day
While many think the Easy Star All-Stars
only pay tribute to classic rock albums,
there has always been original music
coming from the collective. Originally
formed in 1997 for Easy Star’s first
recordings, the Easy Star All-Stars
existed primarily as a studio entity until
releasing Dub Side of the Moon in 2003.
The success of that album – still sitting
on the Billboard Reggae Chart five years
later – led to a dedicated touring version
of the collective. In 2006, the ESAS
released
a
follow-up,
tackling
Radiohead’s OK Computer (renamed
Radiodread). This album has had similar
success, solidifying the band’s reputation
for experimentation, originality and
incredible live shows.

The five tracks included here were all

since 2003. The four vocalists in the
