Atlanta Trio, Shop Boyz, Getting Into The Rockstar Mentality; Sign Deal With Universal Republic
After being pursued by majors since the beginning of the year, Atlanta trio the Shop Boyz and their label OnDeck Records have entered into an agreement with Universal Republic Records for the release of their forthcoming debut. The group's single, "Party Like A Rockstar," was the most added new single at urban radio last week, building a buzz for their debut, Rockstar Mentality. Launched by OnDeck Records, the Shop Boyz' initial breakthrough was forged by Atlanta label's CEO, Brian "Bingo" Ward, who has guided the trio's rapid trajectory into the mainstream. The group's riotous blast of hip hop-meets-rock has helped to transform the Southern hip-hop landscape, emerging from Atlanta's underground music scene and inspiring a new punk wave among the South's hip-hop tastemakers. Buzzing since early 2007, the three members -- Fat, Meanie, and Sheed -- are being hailed as new pioneers of the genre. "We are excited to be in business with Brian Ward and OnDeck Records," stated Monte Lipman, President Of Universal Republic Records. "Brian is a great recruiter of talent and the SHOP BOYZ exemplifies the cutting edge of a bold new force in hip hop. Their willingness to go beyond the cookie-cutter approach in every way fits our label's artist-driven mission like a glove." "OnDeck and the 'Party Like A Rock Star' movement is already spreading well beyond the confines of the South," adds Ward, CEO of OnDeck Records. "Monte Lipman and Universal Republic's great track record of thinking out-of-the-box and providing the ultimate exposure for their artists will ensure the Shop Boyz stay 'street' and connect with the millions of fans hungering for something new in hip-hop." Rockstar Mentality is slated for release on June 26. Until then, the group will be working. They plan to shoot a video for "Party Like A Rockstar" later this week, to be directed by Marc Klasfeld (Nelly, Juvenile, Ludacris, Foo Fighters) and to be shot in their native Atlanta.
