Juice - BIOGRAPHY

Hiphop/Rap/Urban/R&B

juice2.jpg

Richard Evans possessed the intense passion, the ardent lyricism, and the continuous support from his peers as an aspiring musician. These elements combined eventually motivated him to track down rapper The Game and personally hand him a demo. Now better known as his stage name “Juice,” he proves to be an unstoppable force with the encouragement from his famous mentor, captivating records, and lyrics that touch the soul of any listener.

Juice’s short time in the industry has already led him on a myriad of successes that most rapper could only dream of achieving. He has been featured on tracks with superstar rappers Nas, Lil Wayne, and Ice Cube. In addition, multi-talented act Kanye West has even produced his breakthrough single “We Rollin.” In just a few years, he has done two U.S. tours and world tours throughout China, Africa, Europe, and many more. He also has been featured in renowned hip-hop publications XXL and Source, and has even performed at the 1st Annual BET Hip Hop Awards.

As an artist currently affiliated with The Game’s Black Wall Street label, Juice continues to display the purpose behind his flourishing career. The two even appeared on famous late night show David Letterman together. He truly emblazons with pride his self-proclaimed nicknames the “Arizona crown-holder” and “New Breath of the West Coast.”

The Pennsylvania-born but Arizona raised Juice ultimately caught the attention of The Game after going to great lengths to give him a demo as well as freestyle for him. The rest, as they say, is history. The Game immediately took Juice on tour and signed him the following day.

Juice currently has two released mixtapes called Death Certificate and Position of Power, which were subsequently released in 2008 and 2009. Death Certificate garnered so much attention that it was nominated for 4 Justo Awards including Mixtape of the Year. Juice is currently hard at work on two upcoming mixtapes American Me and Position of Power 2, and his debut album The Anticipated.

Juice’s powerful verses and strong passion for the industry heavily influence his talent. He exhibits debonair characteristics, yet a cutting-edge swag that comes to life in each song. A star has definitely been born.

Ruby_Rekordz_Fair_Game_Studio_June2010.jpg

Ruby Rekordz is a family orientated record label that specializes in giving our youth hope and choices by pointing them in the direction of a brighter future. TV, Rap Videos,  Video Games,  Movies and Music of  today have manipulated the minds of our  young people to do drugs, join gangs, be violent and have sex at a early age. Leading that type of life leads them to self destruction.  We need to more family support & more educational programs. We need to flood their minds with positive thinking and positive role model’s. We also need to try to stay positive about everything no matter.  Because the children are our  future and along the way  I found out that words are powerful to young people’s minds.  Since the youth listen to a lot of music, we have to do our part and stay positive.  Over here at Ruby Rekordz and Fair Game Studio we make music about real life experiences. Our talented lyricists, songwriters, singers and producers bring something for everyone to listen to.

Ruby Rekordz is an independent record label that actually started in our kitchen about two and a half years ago. Jason “Sauce Tha Boss” Taylor had a dream of starting a record label and becoming a producer. He started out making his own beats on Fruity Loops. All he had was a computer, a small mic and the program. Believe it or not, that was the start of something bigger and better.
A lot of his neighborhoods local talent heard that he was trying to get a label started and they came running. People would come showcase their talent to him because they knew the type of man he was and they knew that once his mind was set on starting this label, it was going to happen!


After some artists came and went, a young man with the same hunger as him came through to help him make both of their dreams come true. They spent a lot of time learning about how to record music and what it would take to get a home studio started. Now came the hustling. Sauce Tha Boss finally had enough money to purchase what he needed to make his home studio. The dream was slowly becoming a reality. In May of 2006, he moved his youngest daughter out of her room and Fair Game Studio was born. He stepped back to take a look and what he saw was a real studio. Booth and all!!
They hammered out hits night after night and day after day. They were destined to be recognized. Right before the release of his first album tragedy struck. He had a house fire. Unfortunately, that put his whole project on hold. The studio was down for six months.


Now Sauce Tha Boss is back at it again. New home, same studio, same artists, same drive and a little more hunger.
Ruby Rekordz and Fair Game Studio are here to stay. Their first debut album “Sittin' On Top Of The Game” is out now!! Check it out on DigStation at http://www.digstation.com/RubyRekordzandFairgameStudio or http://www.cdbaby.com

LadiDaddi - BIOGRAPHY

Urban/R&B/Pop

Ladi_Daddi_June2010.jpg

Loren ¡¥Ladi¡¦ Allen was surrounded by a talented musical family from the moment of his birth in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  Since the age of three, Ladi has occupied a seat beside his father, an ordained reverend and keyboardist at their church.  So it was indeed second nature for the family to practice choir songs together and tour the midwestern part of the country, ¡¥a la¡¦ the Partridge family.  At the age of 13, while still actively leading praise & worship at church, Ladi¡Xurged by his love for Hip Hop, decided to form a group which more fully expressed his broadened musical tastes.  His group, 5th Element, performed throughout Southeastern Wisconsin, gaining recognition at local venues including the University of Wisconsin collegiate system, Coca-Cola sponsored Summerfest venues, and Milwaukee¡¦s well renowned local ¡¥Rave¡¦.  In addition to performances, Ladi sponsored, organized, manufactured, and distributed an independent Hip Hop album, featuring his rap group.  They sold all copies pressed within the first four days [500 units], then repressed and sold all additional copies [1300 units] in one month.

Venturing into a new market and seeking the rewards of even greater musical accomplishments, Ladi relocated to Atlanta where he honed his considerable skills singing in the city¡¦s top musical clubs.  It was at this time that he and Timothy Campbell II, also from Milwaukee, encountered Emmanuel Lewis and Flex Floss Entertainment.  Ladi and Timothy formed the group Face2Face and, within a week, became Flex Floss Entertainment¡¦s main priority.  After completing artist ¡¥boot camp¡¦ training through Marvelous Enterprises, they set out on a mini tour, singing before large audiences and performing songs that were created in house.

In 2003, Ladi and Timothy made their way to the Big Apple hoping to duplicate the success they encountered during their Atlanta experience.  What they discovered was a whole new playing field from which to display their talent, showcasing before Lyor, Tina, and the rest of the Def Jam staff, excluding Kevin Liles; they also performed for the Sr. Vice President and Head of Urban Music at Columbia and Arista¡¦s Joey Arbagene.  The group earned rave reviews in the process.

In 2004, Ladi and Timothy returned to Atlanta to work with Savoir Fair Entertainment and Midel Pascel.  Within two weeks, Ladi had become one of the lead studio producers at 1271{Savoir Studios}.  Mr. Pascel helped to further groom him in musical arrangement and production, as well as the complexities of the music business and industry life in general.  Ladi and Timothy went on to perform throughout the city again hitting many prominent venues, from Vegas Nights to F.S.O.s.

In 2005, Ladi traveled back to the city he fell in love with¡XNYC to work with one of his trusted friends, Barron Shareef Scott; they wrote, co-produced and recorded an album, within three weeks.  While residing in Queens with his newfound family, he accumulated valuable life lessons, which he passed on to his Florida family.  Ladi and his family made the decision to start their own company.  With the help of his uncle, auntie, and parents, the Cross Country Track Team, Inc. was established, culminating in the accomplishment of a dream, i.e., the ability to work, simply for the reward of more work.

When asked what inspires him and why he does what he does, Ladi had this to say:  ¡§I consider everything to be a tool, whether it¡¦s love, hate, fear, whatever and it is the tool man¡¦s responsibility to see that the desired outcome of that toiling is achieved.  I¡¦m just saying that we¡¦re responsible for what we do, so let¡¦s everybody be good at who we are¡Xcuz that¡¦s how HE want us.¡¨

Ladi, the creative half of the group Show Improve, also known as II Mil, and formerly known as Face2Face has been performing since age 11, and writing since age 6.  In his short time working as a soloist, Ladi has performed for many people in entertainment such as, Ryz and Claudette of City High, Tank, Papoose, Kay Slay, Sauce Money, Clark Kent, UltraMaximus, Gordi Groove, JP, Redman, 4tre and Gucci Mane, Rico Love, Marvin and Loretta McIntrye.
