Hello boyz 'n' gurlz. It is 10p.m. Do you know where your parentz are? Welcome to the D.I.A.'s "Global Rock" REVOLUTION. If it seems like D.I.A. is rising from the ashes like a Phoenix... Maybe we are. Maybe we aren't. Totally an "INVERTED PARADOX". DIA="THE TRUTH!! An' we are da krew some hedz do not want you to know about. Because, we will tie 'em to a wall of 15" woofers; columns of mids and screaming tweeters and pump the Global Rock sound into their veins. DIA is going thru in a full-metal-jacket and steel toe boots... Enuff o' dat.
Well... Billboard magazine acknowledged DIA Records' "global rock" sound calling it "a hiphop-rock-reggae crossbreed." Who are we to argue. Of course the music bible is correct. Our efforts are centered on creating universal muzik for the ages. Whether it's hiphop, reggae, punk, alternative or all of the above in any fusion combination, we want people to pop in (or download) D.I.A. recordings generations from now and say -- "this is timeless stuff". The "Global Rock" genre is any sound with multiple elements (ska/punk, reggae/alt. rock/dub, Rock/Psychedelic/Blues, etc.) The appeal is universal and not niched into one corner.
True grit is an important part of the Global Rock movement. We luv when it's a lil' ruff around the edges. Being slick and sugar coated is not D.I.A.'s style. We love keeping it rustic and grounded.
From a social standpoint, "Global Rock" transcends race, class, gender and age. It's about RHYTHM, CULTURE, RESPECT and total INCLUSION. Aight!!
DIA Records would like to thank all radio station (college, internet, public/community, urban and alternative) jocks worldwide who have given D.I.A's. "global rock" sound life. From Hot97, (Bobby Konders) in NYC to 91X 'n' (Makeda Dread) in San Diego, CA, The Edge in Pheonix, AZ, and especially all radio stations left of the dial -- BIGUP! ShoutZ to your MOM. Tell her D.I.A. said she is HOT! ShoutZ, to all hiphop/urban hedz, sk8ters, snowborders, x-gamers, the punks, the skatalites, the underclass, rastas, hippies, crank callers, graff artists, narcissists, spammers and slackers who sleep 'til 3p.m., etc., etc. Get in gear dude. COPACETIC!!!!!
D.I.A. RECORDS-- is NOT INTERESTED in submitting any tracks to start-up internet bedroom labelz.

Above illustration of "The Beast" was done exclusively for Fantra Zine in the mid 1990s by "Jimmy" Tennyson Smith. Tennyson is the artist who illustrated Bob Marley's graphic novel trilogy Lion, Iron, Zion for Marvel. Zion (cover left) was never published. Tennyson has also done many comic book covers including covers for "Man Thing" reissues. Jimmy Tennyson Smith is the artist behind Bob Marley's "Uprising" cover. DIA Records' "Stalag 20, 21 & 22 -- The next Generation" CD cover was painted by Jimmy also. This is a crucial artist with some incredible personal work.
