Open call for Jamad’s “Afro Collabos”

dj-jamad_myspace

Atlanta DJ and Plug One homie DJ Jamad is looking for singers and MCs to participate in his Afro Collabos series.

In case you don’t know who Jamad is, he’s a member of DJ Drama’s Aphilliates crew, and was a tour DJ for Jneiro Jarel’s Shape of Broad Minds and Willie Isz projects. (He mixed a CD sampler when Hip Hop Connection put Shape of Broad Minds on the cover.) Most recently, he completed The Delivery Guys, a free mixtape with DJ Wreckineyez (Asher Roth’s DJ). And Southern heads will recognize Jamad from his memorable Afromentals mixtape series.

On the first installment of Afro Collabos, Jamad worked with Nicolay (of the Foreign Exchange fame). The just-released second installment featured production from Supa Dave West (of De La Soul “Baby Phat” fame). Subsequent volumes will feature equally vaunted beat makers, and he wants fledgling vocalists (i.e. all you dudes that keep sending me MySpace friend invites) to get down.

The full announcement is listed below.

Hello Everyone,

I hope this letter finds everyone in good health & high spirits.

The internet has made such a big impact on how we receive information today. Blogs, (Myspace, Facebook,Twitter etc) have made it easier to communicate with people worlwide. The internet is a great means to find new artists & their music. Still music still goes undiscovered by the masses. I hear an abundance of talent but so many people make music as a means to become “Rich” or “Hit The Lottery”. That is not my approach at all. Many aren’t even groomed to make a lasting career in music. Marketing can help but only true talent can last in the long run. Many that make music as a creative outlet may lack a vehicle to drive their music to those that will support it. I feel compelled to fill this void as a DJ. Too often I hear comments from many people not being satisfied with the music we hear.

Over the past 10 years I’ve made many music industry contacts thru making mixtapes. Also, my “Afromentals Mixshow” on SIRIUS XM has been running strong for the last 3.5 years. I’ve come to a place where I need to expand on what I already do. I’m seeking outgoing, talented singers & mc’s for my upcoming compilation series called “Afro Collabo”. It’s a project where I put talent with talent! Very simple. I am the A&R DJ. I work with a selected producer & feature different vocal talents over their music tracks. Nothing ever done before. If you make the cut it goes directly on the airwaves!!!!

There is a constant need for new artists along with new listeners in this ever expanding global market.

My first installment was done with Nicolay (The Foreign Exchange) http://www.discogs.com/artist/Nicolay
