KURUPT

Following his career-establishing debut on Dr. Dre's The Chronic in
1992, Kurupt quickly proved that he wasn't your standard West Coast
gangsta rapper. No, Kurupt is much more than that - he has brash
charisma and more than enough attitude. He doesn't shy away from
drama and isn't afraid to speak his mind.

Hip Hop Artist and fans identify Kurupt as one of the illest
freestyle Emcees in the business. A proven platinum selling artist,
Kurupt has expanded his professional career to the big screen through
supporting roles in full length feature films like Half Past Dead,
Dark Blue, and Hollywood Homicide.



CHART TOPPER!
1. KURUPT
THE ORIGINALS
For the long awaited follow up to Space Boogie: Smoke Odyssey, Kurupt
teams up with West Coast's underground mouth-piece, Most Fo Sheezy to
produce what many are calling his best work yet. The Originals
delivers 14 new tracks including the new record "Final Testament",
club banger "Break Ya Back" (feat. Suga Free) and the most
controversial record since "Callin Out Names", "Eat A D*cc Daz". The
first 20,000 copies receive a Limited Edition poster.

2. SIZZLA - HOSANNA
Without a doubt, Sizzla Kolonji is by far one of the more musically
agitative Reggae artists of today. The ever-evolving Jamaican music
industry gave birth to Sizzla in the early 90's, and like any child,
Sizzla lived what he learned. Sizzla is not partisan, but opposes an
evil regime with uncompromising social commentaries, chants and
Psalms. Hosanna is a song of high praise to the almighty. The 10
track CD has earned high accolades within international Rastafarian
circles.

3. SPICE 1 - THE RIDAH
The Ridah represents Spice 1's return to claim rap's throne. Rap
pioneer, Spice 1, creates the definitive work of his legendary
career. Amazing production from newcomers Trevor Jr. and Cold Fusion
perfectly complements the classic g-funk sounds of Battlecat
throughout this album. The genius of The Ridah lies in its diverse
yet cohesive nature. The lyrical content covers a variety of topics
while each track characterizes the many aspects of the RIDAH
lifestyle.

4. THE LUNIZ - WE ARE THE LUNIZ
The multi-platinum selling group The Luniz are releasing their fourth
album entitled We Are the Luniz. This time, the super-talented duo,
Yukmouth and Numskull, not only cleverly trade their innovative free
flowing sing-song creative rhymes off each other, but they also prove
to be masters at whatever type of rap or hip hop that they choose to
flip the script on - a diverse array that defines the straight up
head bobbing "town" sh*t (that's Oakland rap), We Are the Luniz
boasts radio and club hit material.

6. PASTOR TROY - HELL 2 PAY
Hell 2 Pay is the best of Troy wrapped up in one NEW album. With jams
that could have come straight from the trunk, Troy's versatility and
production skills have been raised to the next level. Fans loyal to
the old sounds will be ever impressed with Troy's new joints, as they
still feature his strong personality and add spunk to Troy's crunk.
The album includes tracks featuring some of today's household names:
Ghetto Mafia, Bone Crusha, Karmen, Black 2K, D.S.G.B., Nivea, Pimpen
Ken & Little Pete, Peter the Disciple, and pays homage to one of
Rap's greatest, Tupac Shakur.
