BILLY DANZE’S “RAPS UNITED NATION” (RUN) PROJECT, KID
CALLED QUEST F/RAPPER BIG POOH, HASSAN MACKEY & L.I. “SILICONE” (YOUR LIFE’S
A LIE) & SANTINO “BREAK IT DOWN”
"RUN" (Raps United Nation) is the brainchild of M.O.P.’s
Billy Danze who throughout the course of his illustrious career and years of
extensive international touring could not help but notice and acknowledge how
many talented artists he met during his travels who simply lacked a platform
to be heard. Who better then a fellow artist to spearhead the charge and give
them that platform, as Billy explains “As an artist I understand the frustration.
There are so many artists out there that possess the talent of being able to
produce and record good music. They are determined; they have the drive and
dedication, but feel as if no one notices. I’ve seen and heard what’s
out there from an artistic level. These artists need to be heard and have a
united voice. I am very passionate about giving them that opportunity and will
do anything in my power to help those that really want to win.”
The Music industry has undeniably changed and evolved and artists have been
forced to either adapt with it, or go the way of the dinosaur. While the Internet
and the proliferation of social media platforms are viable assets for new artists
desperately looking for exposure, using those mediums alone is still equivalent
to trying to “catch lighting in a bottle.” Billy Danze’s ambitious
plans for “RUN” are to create an army of incredible artists from
all corners of the globe and to unify and raise awareness for them by creating
projects which are loud enough to be heard by the masses; as Billy details “my
aim is to get every talented artist a deal. Support on a globalized scale is
all an artist really needs or could ask for. I have contacted all my resources
and they in return have done the same. A vital key to success in this business
is alliance; and I personally have a team in every corner of the world. We can
build a team of thousands and support each other.”
There is no disputing the artistic contributions Billy Danze has contributed
to the culture as a member of M.O.P., yet, while still in its early infancy,
his greatest contribution may still lay in front of him as the founder of “RUN,”
as he eloquently states “as a fellow artist, these projects will enable
me to be a vital cog in a family of worthy artists that simply need a platform
and a voice and to oversee that lends the potential to be the biggest accomplishment
of my career. From a business perspective, I believe “RUN” (Raps
United Nation”) is a vehicle the industry is desperately lacking. The
way to find new talent is to go get it. Industry executives no longer believe
in the artist, or artist development, how can the industry grow if we don’t
allow new artists to showcase their talent?”
First Wave will be released on 2-14-2012!
