For Immediate Release
Far Rockaway Queens Emcee Traum To Release Mad Dreamz
(Rap Newswire) - Hip hop maestro and the driving force behind the New
York Masta Mix Records label, Traum, proudly announces the release of his
debut album “Mad Dreamz”. Mad Dreamz will be released April 28th
2009 on Masta Mix Records and featuring collaborations with Cormega, Lil
Fame of M.O.P., Screwball, Big Noyd and many more, this release features
some of the illest sounds ever to spit out of the ghetto including beats
by the legendary producer Ayatollah.
Credibility is crucial in any industry but when it comes to a music
scene where "real recognize real" is the overriding mantra, New York native
Traum walks it like he talks it.
Bloodlines in Hip Hop's crowded family tree can be hard to explain
but Traum's pedigree is nothing short of thoroughbred: born in the Bronx,
the birthplace of the genre and then raised in Queens, Traum was practically
destined for his current role as one of the east coast's hottest artists
and most innovative independent label bosses.
After watching RUN-DMC's Rock Box video the young Traum had a feeling
rap's rawness and ghetto culture would be huge, but early attempts to get
into the business weren't always peaches and cream: a deal with a major
label turned sour and an early experiment performing as one half of a duo
saw his partner came on stage one night and drop the mike in front of a
hard-assed baying crowd. That was when this artist knew he'd have only
himself to rely on if he wanted to make it.
Early collaborations with the legendary Jam Master Jay – who was helping
Traum with his solo album when he was tragically shot - and killed. JMJ
helped shape Traum's vision: keeping Hip Hop street but retaining the style,
class and intelligence that makes his music stand out from inferior products
– you won't find any fallacies in Traum's lyrics.
Since being recognized as one of Hip Hop's up-and-coming MC’s Traum,
under the umbrella of his own label Masta Mix Records, feels the time is
right for the flava that Traum is spitting, the New York edge, the rawness,
and ghetto-fabulous essence of Hip Hop are all here collated under the
expert guidance of one of the scene's most trusted mentors.
Traum says: "What makes me different is I'm totally hands on at Masta
Mix. I am one of a new breed of Artist/Label owner. I actually mix and
produce most of the music"
Traum's plans for Mad Dreamz is to set off the Mad Dreamz tour later
this year and just constantly promote some of the most hardcore and authentic
Hip Hop around. He has the brashness of spirit that comes from growing
up in one of the world's toughest 'hoods and knows exactly where he wants
to take his music and artists: "Over the next year I want obtain major
label distribution for my company. I like being an indie artist but I know
I have major label appeal".
Traum is here to stay and the big boys are sitting up and taking note.
