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).

Matisyahu Live at Stubb's Vol. II


Matisyahu

Live at Stubb's Vol. II


CD/DVD Set For Release on February 1, 2011



MatisyahuMatisyahu: Live at Stubb's Vol. II

(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. Matisyahu will perform four nights in Brooklyn before heading to Albany, Boston, Baltimore, Philadelphia and Portland, ME.

QUANNUM PROJECTS TO RELEASE PIGEON JOHN'S DRAGON SLAYER OCTOBER 12TH, 2010

QUANNUM PROJECTS TO RELEASE PIGEON JOHN'S
DRAGON SLAYER
OCTOBER 12TH, 2010

On his fifth solo album, Pigeon John embarks on new territory producing the entire album with help from General Elektriks' Hervé Salters

PJ Dragon Slayer

PIGEON JOHN: DRAGON SLAYER

(Quannum Projects; Oct. 12, 2010)


Quannum Projects is set to release LA-based Pigeon John's new album Dragon Slayer on October 12, 2010, the follow up to critically acclaimed Pigeon John...And The Summertime Pool Party. Known for his wildly energetic performances, Pigeon John, deemed "a showman in the tradition of Cab Calloway and August Darnell" by the Los Angeles Times, will be wowing crowds again with live dates this fall.


Dragon Slayer houses the signature Pigeon John humor and smarts but with a whole new sound. With the aid of General Elektriks' Hervé Salters, he produced the whole record, including, for the first time, recording and chopping up his own instrumentation rather than just flipping samples and banging on an MPC.

Pigeon John explains, "I'm enjoying the new record because of Hervé's touch on it. The songs ran out of my hands and grew up like children. Control went out the window, and the songs stood on their own two feet without my help. Dragon Slayer is the best TV pilot ever written. That's all I have to say, plus give me a pint..."

The dragon that Pigeon John slays isn't just the malaise of a quarter-life crisis; it's all the little obstacles and stories that come together to make a person. It's that moment of realization, as PJ details on the head-nodding harmonies of "Buttersoft Seats", when buying a nephew's new Jordans suddenly becomes more important than owning the hottest whip on the block. Or how, with the right mind state, sipping coffee in your backyard can turn you into "a young Sean Connery in Cabo"; at least while "So Gangster" sets the soundtrack. On "Ben Vereen" only Pigeon John could create a hook like, "I hate you so much" that goes well with a smile on the face and a kick in the step. Dragon Slayer showcases Pigeon John's sophisticated and witty storytelling ability while not binding to any one genre.

Pigeon John, whether backed by a live band or simply by beats (always complimented, of course, with his smooth moves), has incredibly commanding stage presence and charisma.

Of his love for the live show, Pigeon John says "It's is where the rubber meets the road. A show can never be leaked or recreated. It's traditional, in a sense, just the performer and the people. Vaudeville almost. The potential to flop is inches away from washing over the crowd and winning them. And that danger is what I'm into. You can't fake a show... or an orgasm."

Having shared the stage with the likes of Matisyahu, Of Montreal, Mike Patton, Lyrics Born, RJD2 and Nneka, Pigeon John can woo any crowd, rock and hip-hop alike. He'll be out there like a road warrior once again this fall, and on through next year.

Experience the greatness live on these select dates.....

"The L.A. hip-hop/funk/pop maestro takes you on a tour of his (rough) life and (smooth) musical influences, making witty jokes and vehement comments about everything from dating to drugs. Older readers may hear the influence of Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band; younger readers... just go buy this, trust me: It's its own high." - Entertainment Weekly

"Nebraska-born, LA-bred, racially mixed rapper Pigeon John could gripe about what he's not (rich, famous, laid). But the comedic, alienated, singsongy MC's third indie album demands empathy, not pity. Setting proudly assed-out spiels to cheery early De La Soul-style beats and catholic samples (like alt-rockers the Pixies), " the one and lonely" Pigeon John boasts about dining at Taco Bell and macking on mallrats. He cuts his cutesiness, though, with a world-weary tirade toward Jesus and a sad ballad about his homies growing old. Without tragedy, it's hard to be a clown." - VIBE

"Good times hip-hop from college-rock nostalgic" - SPIN

"Pigeon John uses hip-hop to charm and disarm with a classic style and miles of savoir-faire, infusing his black-everyman lyricism with a particular potency and power. Paired with poppy upbeats and whimsical melodies, P.J.'s lighthearted look at harsh realities is akin to fellow L.A. rap iconoclasts the Pharcyde at their freshest." - LA Weekly

"There's not just skill and bump in this music, there's fun in it. Remember when everyone was so shocked at how much they liked Andre 3000 being ridiculous and brilliant at once? He's got company." - Music For Robots

"Pigeon John isn't just one of the freshest voices to emerge in Hip-Hop this millennium, he may also be the realest. The Inglewood native has never fronted about packing heat or slinging rocks despite the rough environment he came up in. In fact, the Quannum MC carving out a niche in Hip-Hop as the Average Joe not afraid to just be himself." - ALLHIPHOP.com

Pigeon John's discography:

Pigeon John is Clueless (2002), Pigeon John Is Dating Your Sister (2003), Pigeon John Sings The Blues (2005), and Pigeon John and the Summertime Pool Party (2006)
