ya'll seen this?
PHILADELPHIA, PA, Sep 25, 2006 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- RMD Entertainment
Group (PINKSHEETS: RMDG) announced today that their star artist, Roc Monee's
debut album "Diamond in the Rough" will be in major retail stores across North
America starting tomorrow. In addition, RMD has serviced the album to over 60
digital distributors across the globe including: I-tunes, Yahoo Music, Napster,
Sony Connect, Starbucks, Rhapsody, Music Match, E-Music, and others.
RMD has engaged in a major radio promotion and advertising program for "Diamond
in the Rough" that has seen full page ads in major magazines like The Source
Magazine and spins of the debut single "Overdrive" on radio stations across the
country including broadcast giant Radio One, Inc. (www.radio-one.com). Progress
has been better than expected for a new artist and RMDG CEO Giorgio Costonis
acknowledged as much as he commented on the company's first major music release.
"We have undertaken this project with great vigor, enthusiasm, work ethic,
integrity, and commitment from the start. Roc Monee deserves all of those
qualities from us because he gave his all in this album, and it showed in his
recorded performances from track to track. From start to finish each song is
unique, well crafted, and thoughtful. In a day when Hip Hop has so many groups
with so many songs that sound alike, Roc created something special that
separates him from the rest of the urban music rat race -- his own style. His
unique level of skill is comprised of the sheer ability to rhyme in numerous
different patterns while remaining easily understood to every ear that hears
him. Roc has touched on issues that range from struggles to trust anyone in his
neighborhood or in the music industry to internal spiritual warfare he has
encountered on his way to success. Of course he has also touched upon the joys
of his life on the album as well and makes it clear how much he loves to make
people smile and dance in the club when they hear his music. I am so thankful
that we have such a special album to sell into the global marketplace. Albums
like this come every five to ten years. We expect substantial revenue from
'Diamond in the Rough' over the next couple of months and remain committed to
servicing 5 singles to radio and 3 videos to stations like RHN, BET, VH1, MTV,
and MTV2." Costonis added, "This is a process. We are in phase 1 as we have
reached retail outlets and digital outlets with the product. Our focus now
becomes increasing demand for product in all marketplaces as well as adding
retail chains into the mix such as Wal-Mart and other non-music specific stores.
We are confident that we will accomplish this goal and thank all of our
supporters and shareholders for helping us achieve each and every goal on our
way to success."
Management also expressed the importance of other projects and announced a
shareholder update tomorrow to outline company progress and direction for the
end of 2006 and beyond.
