RU 1 RECORDS PUTS A STAKE IN THE GROUND AND EXPANDS IT’S MARKETMay 2, 2007-New York, NY-- Staten Island-native, Ruben, started RU1 Records, an independent hip hop label in 2003. Since it’s inception, RU1 Records has established itself in the underground industry, as a record label, artist management, internet, merchandising and production powerhouse.To date, RU1 Records has five signed artists, while currently managing Tray Pound, and Cartier. It has anchored it’s mainstream recognition in the cultivation of two New Jersey emcees, Blackout and Response. This dynamic duo is poised to smash all statements that underground hip hop lacks the “complete package†when their collaboration album drops later this year.Backed by a relentless street team, RU 1 Records has permeated the East Coast’s underground hip hop market with a vengeance. Having combined independent sales of over 20,000 CDs - RU 1 RECORDS BY ANY MEANS VOL 1 (10,150) and RU 1 RADIO THE MIXTAPE VOL. 1( 9,850) – the loyal fans of this label have already endorsed it’s place in the mainstream markets.To further expand it’s position in the hip hop market, Ruben launched two websites. The label site (www.ru1records.com), spotlights the music, bios and photos of Ru 1’s artists. The online radio site (www.ru1radio.com) guarantees easy access to the newest mainstream tracks, with videos being just a click away. RU1 has also dominated the Myspace.com internet community. With over 150,000 friends and 75,000 music plays, RU1 has struck a chord with fans that few in the music industry get a chance to achieve. The demand was clear. RU1 Records has a “brand†that people are looking for. Its expansion into other ventures was fail-safe. Along with a line of RU1 clothing, RU1 Records released its premiere line of custom footwear. Sales of this merchandise have already generated $40,000. Through artist development and strategic promoting to merchandising and the creation of RU1 Radio, and RU1 TV, the stake has been placed in the ground – and the verdict is in. In the last 3 months, these media outlets have received 8,507,836 visits collectively. The label is a brand in the underground hip hop market that is sought after and continues to solidify it’s legitimacy among some of hip hop’s toughest critics.FOR MORE INFORMATION CONTACT: Ayana Clarke, Harlem Fusion, LLC 61 East 119 Street 3rd Floor New York NY 10035 347-668-6153 [email protected]
