GBC'S album, Uzi Does it, was one of my favorite releases last year. Apathy, Scoop DeVille and Ryu created something new and fun that definitely stood out from everything else that was released. GBC are putting together new EP called Uzi Did It. Here's the first leak produced by Da Beatminerz called "Left Behind." I played a little guitar part at the 1:21 mark!
The homeys in Get Busy Committee released a dope album last year, Uzi Does It, and backed it up with some expert marketing... Check out the below press release about their UZI Shaped USB. We need to get some of these at Tradition!
LOS ANGELES, CA – This week Neilsen Soundscan reported 2009 sales statistics for CDs and digital downloads. Digital album sales rose 16%, CD sales were down 18%, and vinyl sales were up 33% (!) over 2008 levels.
But in the biggest bright spot in the industry, Bob Nielson (no relation) reported sales of Uzi-shaped USB Flash drives were up more than 1000% and growing. Released October 27th by Tokyo Sex Whale Records via GetBusyCommittee.com, the Uzis, pre-loaded with Get Busy Committee’s album Uzi Does It, has been selling consistently and the site has had trouble keeping up with demand. “We originally manufactured 1200 USB Uzis,” commented Tokyo Sex Whale Records principal Apathy, “now we have less than 50 in stock and are scrambling to manufacture more.” “If the industry can see such a huge jump in just one format in just the last two months of 2009,” added Tokyo Sex Whale’s co-head Ryu, “imagine what the rest of 2010 is going to look like. This could be the year of the USB Uzi just as 1988 was the year of the cassette.”
RECAP: TRADITION X BLOODBATH "MIGHTY IS THE PEN" RELEASE PARTY
Saturday was the official release party for the Tradition X Bloodbath "Mighty is the Pen" collaboration tee... Of course we had to do it real big, and we had performances from Young De, El Prez, Chris Foucus, Dnez, Lil' Meezy, and Astro. There was also artwork on display by L.A. graffiti legends, Mear and Yem. Tradition was packed, and everyone in attendance had a great time! I want to thank everyone that made it out, and everyone that helped make this event a success. We still have some shirts available at our Westlake and Ventura stores, and limited quantities available on our webstore.
