RIP BOBBY ROBINSON

BOBBY ROBINSON


Have to give respect to this man for numerous reasons. Very important that if you do not know who he was that you take the time to learn about him now. RIP and thank you not only for your contributions to HIP HOP but to music in general.

From wikipedia:

In the 1970s, Robinson produced some of the first hip-hop music records for his "Enjoy" label and had considerable influence and success in that genre through the mid-1980s. He achieved another success in 1979, when he recorded Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five's first record, "Superrappin'", an innovative record which was very influential in hip-hop's early years. A local hit among New York area hip-hop fans, the music industry, however, was not ready for the new sound, and the record failed to hit nationwide.

Robinson then went to commercial success with other old school hip hop artists, including Pumpkin and Friends, the Funky Four Plus One More, Spoonie Gee (Robinson's nephew), and Kool Moe Dee with the Treacherous Three.

Robinson also chalked up another success when he produced Doug E. Fresh's "Just Having Fun (Do The Beatbox)", which introduced beatboxing to the record-buying public.

238BEATS EXECUTIVE PRODUCING NEW PROJECT FOR R&B GROUP ALLURE

238BEATS Larry Jenkins & Chris Medina with ALLURE


238Beats Entertainment Group is executive producing  legendary R&B group ALLURE's new album to be released in 2011.

If you love their songs "All cried out" ft. 112, "Head over Heels" ft. Nas, "No Question" ft. LL Cool J, and "Enjoy Yourself"....then you will love their newest upcoming projects and songs in store for you! Allure is a New York-based R&B girl group that formed in the early 1990s.

Allure got their chance when they met Poke of the Trackmasters production team, who gave them an audition in 1996. He was impressed and signed the girls to Trackmasters bestowing them with their name, Allure. It was through his help that the girls were able to become the first group signed to Mariah Carey's Crave Records under the name of Allure.

They released their debut self-titled album in 1997. After signing with Mariah Carey's Crave label (1997), MCA (2000), and Truewarier records(2003), Alia, Akissa, and Lalisha of Allure want to take their talents to a new level in which they will have more creative control over their music without a major record label. "We want to bring you the best in true music, and we pour our hearts out into our songs, relating our lives and experiencies with our fans." says the group. " We want to make more music for our listeners that will touch, inspire, and create wonderful memories and experiences for them."

"As mothers, friends, and women who have overcome many challenges we continue to stay together as a group and love performing to encourage and inspire others." says Allure. Allure recently performed at the Tashera Simmons Women of Strength Charity fundraiser to aid individuals experiencing domestic abuse and continues to perform at various charities and events.

The making of this new 2011 album will be filmed and made available on www.allurelive.blogspot.com so that fans can get a glimpse of the recording process and experience the progression of this project with Allure. With this album, Allure will give their fans the music they have come to love and cherish.
