NATE DOGG & CHINGY w/KESHIA CHANTE & special guest - Sat. Sept. 11th!
***UPDATED INFO***
Hype Concerts & Organized Entertainment in association with The Beat 94.5 proudly present... The offical summer's end party!!! -- Saturday on the 11th of September, 2004! @ The Plaza of Nations (outdoor stage) -- ALL ages & LICENSED BEER GARDEN!!! NATE DOGG, Elektra If there's such a thing as a hip hop crooner, Nate Dogg's the man. Nate's smooth, ultracool voice has been heard on hip hop records that have sold over 65 million copies, including hits by Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Tupac, Warren G, the soundtracks to Above The Rim and Murder Was The Case, and most recently, on Fabolous's smash "Can't Deny It" and "Area Codes" with Ludacris. Nate takes the main mic on his Elektra debut album Music & Me, which features guest appearances by Dr. Dre, Fabolous, Lil' Mo, Pharoah Monche, Xzibit, Jermaine Dupri, Kurupt, Ludacris and more, and production by Dr. Dre, Battlecat, Bink, Jermaine Dupri, Megahertz, Damizza, Mel-Man, and FredWreck. Look for a new album in 2003!. With Captital Records recording artist... CHINGY! [IMG]Going on the road with Nelly in 2002 paid tremendous dividends for Chingy, the newest member of Ludacris' Disturbing Tha Peace family. The St. Louis rapper studied Nelly's every move and learned the ins and outs of artist promotion. "I watched how everything goes," Chingy says. "From meet and greets, tour buses and backstage, I was new to all that." Influenced by LL Cool J, Run DMC, DJ Quik, Snoop Dogg, Nelly, Ludacris and others, Chingy quickly built a solid reputation in St. Louis and earned himself a slot opening for Nelly in 2002. Now, Chingy is ready to put his experience to work with his explosive debut album entitled Jackpot. A sizzling collection of celebratory selections that focus on having fun and beautiful women, Chingy is sure to get the party started. Already enjoying radio and club play in Atlanta and St. Louis, single "Right Thurr" features Chingy rapping over a thick, percolating beat about the type of woman that will always catch a man's eye, even if he isn't looking. "Say you're riding, doing well and then you see a girl that blows your mind," he says. "You've got to have that ÔRight Thurr.' You want to follow her." Odds are, women will want to follow Chingy after hearing this addictive cut. "She threw it at me like a shortstop," Chingy boasts on the song, and with this type of hit to his credit, there's no reason why women wouldn't. Chingy then teams with Murphy Lee of the St. Lunatics on "Sample Dat Ass," an irresistible club track with blips and stutter scratches that will have every dancefloor in a frenzy. The heavy bass and stuttery beat of "Hit the Club" works well with Chingy's festive lyrics about dancing and parties. If Chingy sounds like a natural rhyming on these types of club cuts, it's because he enjoys being out and about, having fun. "I be clubbing and kicking it and that part of my personality just comes out when I'm making my music," he explains. "I'm a fun person. I try not to get down about things. That's why the club songs, you're going to get them a lot from me." But Chingy knows that there's more to life than partying. To this end, he delivers "Let's Get Ends." Here, he retraces his steps as an aspiring rapper. Hip-hop fans will notice that the "Let's Get Ends" chorus plays off the chorus of Whodini's classic "Friends" singles, one of Chingy's favorite songs. Elsewhere, Chingy teams up with Disturbing Tha Peace members I-20 and Titty Boy on the boast-heavy "Where You From" and shouts out virtually every major city in America on "Chingy Jackpot." Regardless of topic, Chingy makes a point to keep his lyrics lively and relevant since he knows that good writing helps strong songs become hits. "I try to write clever," he says. "You've got to write clever in order to make sure everything flows from one sentence to the next." As Chingy flows, it's the production work of Trak Starz that makes his music magical. Also from St. Louis, the Trak Starz were discovered by Disturbing Tha Peace executive Chaka Zulu. Even though Chingy and Trak Starz knew each other from the St. Louis hip-hop circuit, Zulu put them together officially and the results, as evidenced throughout Jackpot, are masterful. "They're the best producers right now," Chingy says. "They're steaming hot and they've got a different sound. It's an edgy, rough, street calligraphy sound." Growing up in St. Louis, Chingy saw plenty of edgy and rough situations. But, he chose not to dwell on the negative that sometimes greeted him in his native Walnut Park section of the North Side of St. Louis. Instead, Chingy maintained a deft balance of the streets and school before deciding to dedicate himself to rapping. By the time he was 8, Chingy was a mainstay in St. Louis recording studios. Recording came naturally to Chingy, a life-long music fan. "I love the sound of music," he says. "I grew up listening to Michael Jackson, Marvin Gaye, the Temptations. Music made me think, and party. I wanted to express myself like those artists were. Talking on a record sounded like a good idea to me." Even though Chingy knew he wanted to be a rapper, he had a hard time deciding on his stage name. Thugsy and H Thugs were his original choices, but he had second thoughts. "I didn't want to be known as a thug," he says. "My friends would say that Chingy had a nice ring to it." So does his music.[/IMG] Alongside Canada's own... KESHIA CHANTE In 2003, 15 year-old Ottawa native Keshia Chanté burst onto the music scene and instantly grabbed the attention of both industry tastemakers and consumers. After just a few months, this petite vocal powerhouse garnered numerous accolades including two Top10 CHR singles (“Shook The Answer” #10, “Unpredictable” #3), a #1 video at YTV and a Top 10 video at MuchMusic (“Unpredictable”), a Gold single (”Unpredictable”) and an Urban Music Association of Canada Award for “Best R&B Artist.” In addition, www.keshiachante.com has received approximately 316,000 hits since its launch in June 2003 and continues to be one of our most popular websites. 2004 began on a high note with Keshia Chanté taking home the Canadian Radio Award for “Best New Solo Artist.” Her new single, “Bad Boy”, is already making power moves up the CHR chart and is currently Top 10. The video for “Bad Boy”, directed by Little x, will be serviced to all stations in early May. Keshia’s highly anticipated, June 22nd self-titled debut will not only feature her existing hits, but will also include hot new tracks like “Does He Love Me” with Foxy Brown, which was produced by Young Gavin (Foxy Brown’s producer and brother). Tickets available at www.ticketmaster.ca or by phone (604) 280-4444. On sale to the public on Thursday, August 19th @ Ticketmaster! Last edited by Kraig; Aug 21, 04 at 07:36 AM. |

[quote=neoh]who the fuck is Nate Dogg?
where were you for the last 10 yrs? He use to be a part of the infamous Deathrow Records with some guy named Snoop Dogg and some other no namer named Dr Dre. Or you mighta heard of some other loser named Warren G that did a track with him called "regulators" which to this day is still considered one of the best rap songs of all time. Maybe reading the bio would help.... |
