Album Notes

PRESENTING... The first artist on Re-Up, brought to you by the multi-platinum producers Geoff(g-milano)Green & Dave(superdave)DeBerry(OUTKAST,RUN-DMC,and Rock Legend VERNON REID to name a few, of a list of many more). Collectively known as the BLOCK HUGGAZZ. AUNRAY HOLLYWOOD is the brainchild of urban angst & believability, in the time of ghetto fantasm's.(like -now we flying helicopters in the hood-is the B.S. you get from the majors). AUNRAY HOLLYWOOD: raised in the BRONX (with his mother) in the SOUND VEIW section. Where he grew up with the likes of LORD TARIQ & PETER GUNNZ, DRAGGON of Ruff Ryders' fame, & a host of others. He also spent a lot of time in the south,SOUTH CAROLINA.(with his father)Spending his life in both places honned him to variuos styles of musical influences. Amongst lifes lessons....having been shot 3 times & stabbed in the head (Destiny's Child arent Survivers. HE IS) He's here. From the STREETS to the BEATS, with a story to tell....but, this is real-From the Dirty,Dirty to the Bricks-from the past to the future. The 14 tracks(there's no sampling here) are inspired by various orgins and different styles. Every region of the map has been covered here,and blended together with orchestration,catchy meodies and clever phrasing that puts it ahead of whats going on in rap today. It'll be awhile before rap albums contain this type of musicianship and originality. ....From the begining,like on "GET DOWN" the first cut on the album-you know the floor is crowded. The beats almost too infectious,bass line thumping(literally) keyboards twikling and swirling around your head, while AUNRAYS deep baritone orders you to "GET DOWN! GET UP OFF YOUR ASS AND GET DOWN! ....to hard driving joints like the hellish "FALL BACK" and the low end boucing of "GO GET EMM"(feat.Legacy and Jugg the B&E) where AUNRAYS bronx upbringing shines thru. Keeping it hard for the hard heads. It's the tight production that allows for an easy transition of styles. From east coast,to mid-west,to the more laid back west coast sound of "FUKK SUMMIN",down to the dirty-dirty soundings of "SHOW ME" & "B.E.Z.O.". That makes this a complete album. also coming soon on ReUp Records LEGACY THE URBAN EMPRESS JUGG THE B&E SARAH LOVELY(adult pop)
