SMC Recordings Inc. (PINKSHEETS: SMCE), in a non-traditional
marketing approach, premiered Rakim's video "Walk These Streets" on
an exclusive digital viewing on January 5th via World Star Hip
Hop.com, the number one outlet for urban media.
In the first 24 hours of its showing, the video drew close to 2
million views and continues to create an electric reaction from
World Star viewers (nearly 4 million views to date). The urban
media giant draws close to an astonishing 4 million unique visitors
and will showcase the Rakim video premiere exclusively for 5
days.
"Walk These Streets" features Brooklyn rapper Maino and is the
first video from Rakim's Billboard chart topping album "The Seventh
Seal."
"We are ecstatic about the reaction the Rakim video is
generating despite taking what we felt was an unorthodox marketing
approach to its release. It is indeed creating an enormous stir in
the urban music industry, far exceeding the expectations of the SMC
marketing team," stated co-founder, Ralph Tashjian.
"Walk These Streets" is being submitted to MTV, BET and FUSE
this week. "We could not have asked for a better kick off to SMC
Recordings' 2010 marketing agenda," added Tashjian.
