Chuck D's SLAMjamz Records has just partnered with Music Video Distributors (MVD) to release three new DVD/CDS -- that will feature artists from his label.
"We are very excited to be partnered with Chuck D," said Ed Seaman, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at MVD. "His knowledge, experience and cult of personality are going to be invaluable to us in this venture. MVD and SLAMjamz share the same vision; the DVD/CD pack is the future -- as well as the present."
Each DVD will feature live footage, interviews and a CD. And will retail for $16.95.
The partnership came about in an attempt to maximize accessibility to consumers of all ages, according to a press release.
"SLAMjamz Records are designed simply to serve the uncompromising expression of hip-hop based music in general," saidChuck D of Public Enemy fame. "Hip-hop is expression and communication, a musical and worldwide social manifestation, and SLAMjamz Records is concerned with identifying its impulse, be it with the option of varied sonic formats, not sensational and commercial adornments. MVD allows SLAMjamz to present this to the world."
The first three DVDs to drop on October 5th will be: "Impossebulls: Slave Education," the story of the world's first virtual rap group; "7th Octave: The Seventh Degree, the vehicle for Professor Griff's concept "Ghetto Metal"; and "No Boundaries: A SLAMjamz Compilation," a joint venture of SLAMjamz and NAP Records that reaches into different styles and songs from varied artists.
