BAND/ARTIST UPDATES
Black Dada (www.myspace.com/dblackdada; @dblackdada) Former featured artist is now impacting at Urban radio. The video for the single “Imma Zoe,” which is about strength of character, was Jam of the Week at MTV two weeks ago and can now be seen on both MTV and BET. In addition, this buzzing rapper will be featured in Urban Network magazine next week. Keep your eyes peeled for this rising young star, and be sure to watch the video to get a better understanding of what Black Dada is all about.
Hymns (www.myspace.com/hymnsband; @hymnsband): These Brooklyn southern-roots rockers are packing a 1-2-3 punch with their new EP Appaloosa (three stars in Rolling Stone), tours with Daniel Johnston and Nicole Atkins this fall and an “Artist to Watch” nod from Spin. And, get this, they’re doing it all on their own, with no agent, publisher, lawyer or label . Go get ’em, guys.
