Diary of Hustle Simmons and

Record Release Party/Homeless Shelter Toy Fundraiser


(San Jose, California) Hip Hop artist Mayhem The Don announces his first solo debut, Diary of Hustle Simmons, available December 28, 2010, released on his Untouchable Entertainment record label. Fresh new lyrics that paint a vivid picture of humanistic attributes, the beautiful and the ugly, are found in these fifteen original songs.

On Thursday, December 23, 2010, Mayhem the Don will be hosting his Record Release Party for Diary of Hustle Simmons at Toons Nightclub in downtown San Jose, California. It will be a great show for a greater cause. Mayhem will be giving back to his community by using a portion of the proceeds to purchase toys from the children’s wish list this Christmas at the San Jose Family Shelter (1590 Las Pumas Avenue, San Jose 95133).

This philanthropic endeavor is a significant illustration of how Mayhem is contributing to the construction of a better world for those going through tough times. “It’s important for the children to feel the joy of the holiday season, even for one day.” says Mayhem who had family members who found refuge in this shelter.

Innovative music on Diary of Hustle Simmons tells of Mayhem the Don’s past struggles evolving to his present triumphs, a story of inspiration and beating the odds, including Anything Goes 2010, Cut From A Different Cloth and Can’t Top My Fresh. This local South San Jose artist sees his music as a representation of the aggressive advancements of the Silicon Valley as well as the necessary progressiveness to further Hip Hop music on the West Coast.

Hip Hop superstar and Def Jam artist, Rick Ross, commented, “The remix Mayhem The Don did of my song Hustling was great. I really liked it. Mayhem has crafty wordplay with lyrical ability that is noticeable and recognizable.”

Hip Hop New York legend, KRS1 stated, “Mayhem is a good artist with a stage presence. I like his lyrics and how he put it together.”

Mayhem, a renowned rapper and businessman, has performed at venues around the country including the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, California. “I appreciate all my fans that listen to my story, my music and attend my shows and events. It means a lot to me and to be hosting my Record Release Party in my native San Jose. It will be an experience of a lifetime, not just a performance, but real entertainment. See U there!” says Mayhem The Don.

Mayhem established Untouchable Entertainment in 2006 and acquired other hungry talented artists. The Untouchable Entertainment artists have released six CDs in the last five years. Mayhem the Don is chairman and founder of Untouchable Enterprise Inc. whose divisions include the Untouchable Entertainment record label, Untouchable Clothing, Untouchable Events and his Untouchable Vixens that showcase full figured women.

The future looks bright for a man with pending joint venture offers from major recording labels, whose early life path could have seen him in prison for the rest of his natural life. Keep supporting Mayhem the Don as the best is yet to come from this very talented individual.

Video for Posting | "We Can Do It Now" Inspiration Video

REPLAY has also released an inspiration video for "We Can Do It Now," featuring Common, Lupe Fiasco, Jennifer Hudson, and No I.D.


We Can Do It NowGatorade created REPLAY to restage classic games that ended in controversy - offering athletes a second chance for redemption some 10-15 years later. Gatorade reunites the original teammates and provides them with an 8-week training and nutrition program so they can get back in peak shape and replay their game to settle the score once and for all.


Season III of REPLAY features two South Side Chicago high school basketball teams, the Bloom Township Trojans and the Brother Rice Crusaders. The two teams competed this fall to settle their 2000 super sectional game that decided who would go "downstate" to the Elite 8 and who would go home. The original game ended with a controversial call regarding the game clock, shrouding the final shot in controversy for a decade. A documentary sharing the journey of these athletes and their REPLAYgame will be airing throughout the month of December on Fox Sports Net (check REPLAYtheSeries.com or Fox Sports Net for local listings).

(MRI; Feb. 1, 2011)


Grammy-nominated artist Matisyahu, whose transcendent live shows are widely celebrated for moving masses around the globe, has once again captured the magic that he creates on stage with his new live album and DVD. Live at Stubb's Vol. II, set for release on February 1, 2011, is the second installment in his signature Live at Stubb's series.

Live at Stubb's Vol. II will be available for sale in stores and online in three formats: CD, DVD with documentary footage and a Deluxe Edition, available for pre-order today, December 1st, via www.matisyahuworld.com. Additionally, an exclusive trailer can be viewed now on the site offering a sneak peak at the incredible documentary and live footage from the DVD.

The Deluxe Edition will include the CD/DVD and a 40-page booklet filled with exclusive photos that chronicle the recording of Live at Stubb's Vol. II and other amazing performances from the past three years. The Deluxe Edition will also feature an exclusive letter fromMatisyahu that shares his reflections on his career and his return to Stubb's, as well as never-before-seen notes and song lyrics.


When Matisyahu's groundbreaking original live album, Live at Stubb's, was released in 2005, it launched him onto Top 40 radio with his now most-recognizable anthem "King Without A Crown."He had made an indelible mark on the musical consciousness of the U.S., but this proved to be only the beginning. Live at Stubb's reached #1 on the Billboard Reggae Album Chart and has sold nearly 700,000 copies to date. Matisyahu has gone on to sell a total of 2 million albums to date worldwide.


Now with three critically acclaimed studio albums to his name, Matisyahu decided to return to where it all began. On a hot August night in Austin, TX, this past summer, Matisyahu took the stage at the famed music venue Stubb's with his band, Brooklyn's The Dub Trio, for an unforgettable live music experience. Showcasing his impressive artistic evolution, Matisyahu unveiled brand new song "Open The Gates" and performed songs that span his lauded catalogue, including selections from 2004'sShake Off The Dust...Arise, 2005's Live at Stubb's, 2006's Youth and 2009's Light, which debuted inside the Billboard Top 20. Inviting the intimate crowd to join him in documenting the extraordinary energy in the room that evening, he and his audience created the musical time capsule that is nowLive at Stubb's Vol. II.


These songs are infused with a vibrancy that can only be created during a Matisyahu performance, beautifully displaying the one-of-a -kind voice and distinctive sound that has brought him to the forefront of today's music landscape.With a re-discovered love for roots reggae and improvisation at the core of his live show, Matisyahu brilliantly re-vamped the vocal and instrumental arrangements, elevating each song to new heights. From album opener "Kodesh"to tracks such as"Mist Rising," "Youth", "Darkness Into Light" and "One Day", Live at Stubb's Vol. II is araw and inspiring musical journey that is sure to become a treasured part of Matisyahu's acclaimed catalogue.

With prolific lyrics, anthemic choruses and his signature fusion of reggae, pop-rock, hip-hop, ska-inflected new wave and acoustic folk, Matisyahu has broken boundaries through his music and has unified millions of fans with his music and message of peace, hope and understanding. Since recording Live at Stubb's on February 19, 2005, Matisyahuhas gone on to become one of the most beloved and pioneering artists in music today with Stubb's holding a special meaning for him and his fans.

Matisyahu kicked off his fifth annual Festival of Light this week in Brooklyn. The series of shows, historically 8 shows in NYC and Brooklyn around Hanukkah, will expand to additional northeast U.S. cities this year for the first time due to increasing demand from his fans.

"From my early years of playing keyboards in R&B bands through my years of producing gospel artists, I've always loved the sound & feel of Contemporary Jazz. While contemplating my next musical direction I walked into the studio intending to create therapeutic melodies that would speak to the listener's heart. The result was a pleasant blend of songs that I call Charge It To My Heart. Listen closely because melodies don't lie!"

Hart Ramsey will release "Centerpiece" as the lead single which according to The Urban Music Scene, "features more aggressive and distinct production work" and shows "just how fresh and creative Ramsey is as a musician and producer."
