Imperial Records announces DISTRIBUTION DEAL WITH COOL & DRE’S EPIDEMIC RECORDS & SKELETON KEY

Imperial Records announces DISTRIBUTION DEAL WITH COOL & DRE'S EPIDEMIC RECORDS & SKELETON KEY ENTERTAINMENT

The dynamic duo of Cool & Dre has produced mulitplatinum hits for The Game, 50 Cent, Fat Joe and Ja Rule. Three years later, upon creating their own label, Epidemic Records, Cool and Dre have inked a deal with Skeleton Key Entertainment/EMI's Imperial Records. Imperial Records will provide distribution and label services such as radio promotions, marketing, on-line marketing, street team, video promotions and publicity for the Epidemic Records' album, Misery Loves Company by Cool and Dre's premier artist, Joe Hound. "We're really excited about this Joe Hound project and about us being in business with Imperial," said Cool. "It's the beginning of a long lasting relationship. Epidemic and Imperial are gonna take it all the way to the top." Dre, agreed and added, "This is one of the best deals we've done in our career."

This is the album Miami has been waiting for with anticipation building more and more each day. The album Misery Loves Company is chock full of life lessons and missed opportunities, scattered with detailed musical bits and pieces of Joe Hound's rise as an emcee, while simultaneously describing his life as a common street hustler. Born in Miami and raised on the heartless streets of Liberty City, Joe Hound has been a star for the majority of his life. He briefly attended Bethune Cookman on a basketball scholarship but before he could familiarize himself with college life, Hound was forced to return home due to family responsibilities. Ironically, while he was going through all this his childhood friend Andre Lyon (Dre of Cool & Dre), was making noise in the streets as a budding producer. A chance meeting in a recording studio provided the opportunity for them to rekindle their friendship and collaborate on a number of musical projects, an album created strictly for the streets, Stressed Out, Lost and Confused and two mix tapes, one hosted by Miami's premier DJ, DJ Khaled. Now with the new Imperial Records/Skeleton Key Entertainment deal, their latest project is produced entirely by the Grammy nominated production team of Cool & Dre, Misery Loves Company, sparked by "She Likes It," the radio friendly lead single.

Neil Levine, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Imperial Records comments, "Imperial is pleased with our association with Skeleton Key and Epidemic Records," "With Cool and Dre's magic touch Joe Hounds' album is filled with catchy hooks as well as profound lyrics. We're looking for some big things from Joe Hound in 07." Joe Hound is also thrilled to be working with an innovative independent distributor such as Imperial. "It's been a great experience," Joe Hound says about joining Imperial Records. "They take care of our needs. It's been a really professional relationship. They give us opportunities to do whatever we want because they let us control our own music. You can't ask for anything more than that." With more than enough heat from Cool and Dre on the production side and Misery Loves Company Joe Hound still finds time to tell his unique story, Joe Hound has finally arrived.IT IS TIMELY FOR FURTHER EXPANSION OF ITS STAMP HISPANIC EPIDEMIC LATIN MUSIC WITH ARTIST KLLE REAL BIG DADDY, PROFILE AND THE MORGUE!

COOL AND DRE BY RAETTE JOHNSON

Cool & Dre www.bmi.com/musicworld/entry/335020

The spotlight that has shined on urban centers ranging from New York to Los Angeles to Atlanta, where some of today’s hottest r&b and rap songs have been produced, is now focused on Miami, where two of today’s hottest producers — Marcello Valenzano and Andre Lyon, better known as Cool & Dre — are creating hits.
Cool & Dre met and became friends in high school in the early ’90s, and soon became part of a four-man singing group called Basic Unity. Although the group faded, their friendship and strong interest in music stayed intact. They began writing and producing hooks and beats — with Cool, the technical enforcer producing the beats, and Dre, co-writing and singing the hooks — that caught the attention of rapper Fat Joe, who soon sought out Cool & Dre to write and produce for both himself and the Terror Squad.
By 2004, the duo began gaining attention with such hits as Terror Squad’s “Take Me Home” and Ja Rule’s “New York.” On the list of BMI’s 2005 Top 10 Urban Producers, Cool & Dre have written and produced tracks for Mary J. Blige, Chris Brown, Juvenile, Christina Milian and Busta Rhymes, among others. They are also the production team behind one of the hottest tracks of 2005, “Hate It or Love It,” by the Game featuring 50 Cent, earning them a Billboard #1 Award at BMI’s 2005 Urban Awards and their first Grammy nomination.
Cool & Dre have finally arrived. They formed their own record label, Epidemic Music, through Jive Records, and are set to release Dre’s solo album, The Trunk, featuring the hit single “Chevy Ridin’ High,” this fall. They are also working with upcoming artists in Miami through their label and hope to continue to create good music and produce more No. 1 hits in the years to come.
