Chuck D, hip-hop icon and founding member of the controversial and pioneering rap group Public Enemy, has signed a worldwide production deal with Killer Tracks, the premier provider of music for use in film, television, advertising and interactive media. Chuck D's new hip-hop music library, Chuck D Presents, will feature emerging artists and producers from his own record label, SLAMjamz Records, as well as guest performers including Public Enemy’s Professor Griff. The library will be distributed by Killer Tracks and is scheduled to launch in the spring of 2008.
Kat Green, Vice President of Music Production at Killer Tracks stated, "Chuck D is a legendary figure in the music industry. His socially conscious music redefined rap and has made him one of the most well respected producers to this day. We are thrilled to announce this monumental partnership and we look forward to distributing authentic, cutting-edge hip-hop from Chuck and his record label to our clients."
Chuck D added, "Killer Tracks has a reputation for delivering the best music in this industry. My production standards and policies stem from the SLAMjamz and Public Enemy approach of producing high-quality music that is diverse not only in sound and tempo but in attitude and purpose as well. Killer Tracks is the perfect fit. This partnership is a milestone not only in the music library business but also in the world of hip-hop."
Killer Tracks will present an exclusive pre-release of Chuck D Presents at the 2008 NAB Show in Las Vegas, Nevada (April 14-17, Las Vegas Convention Center, booth SL9215).
