SMC Recordings Inc. (PINKSHEETS: SMCE) continues to attract some of
the hottest artists out -- adding to its already stellar roster.
Their most recent signee is former Jive Records act, The Pack. The
young group first made headlines in 2006, when their trendsetting
hit single "Vans," took over the airwaves. It was named #5 in the
Rolling Stone's Top 50 songs list for that year, and has sold
300,000 to date.
The Berkeley, CA-based group, comprised of members Lil Uno,
Young L, Lil B and Stunnaman, was discovered by Hip Hop legend Too
$hort, who signed them to Jive Records. They released an album and
an EP with the label, quickly achieving a large following for their
unique and edgy sound created by in-house producer and group member
Young L. They appeal to everyone from hip hop heads to skate
boarders. Their music's influence has had great reach; even making
its way into famed comedian Dave Chappelle's skits, who brought up
their popular song "Vans" to the delight of the audience at a
recent show.
"I tried signing The Pack when 'Vans' broke but how could I
compete with Too $hort?" remembers SMC Recording's Chief Operating
Officer Will Bronson. "The Pack has always been ahead of the curve
and with this new album, the songs are stellar, and they've truly
evolved into stars. We've got so much in store for these guys, its
incredible."
The Pack's first album on SMC Recordings, Wolfpack Party,
features production by Young L with additional help from hit-making
newcomers The Cataracs keeping them musically as leaders of "the
pack."
"The Pack is a great fit for our label, as we have proven
success with these niche groups of Hip Hop artists. With their
crossover appeal and a sound that stays one step ahead of the
trends, they add incredible depth and prestige to our roster," said
SMC CEO Ralph Tashjian.
The group has is currently putting the finishing touches to
their SMC debut and preparing for their summer tour.
The "Wolfpack Party 2010" single and ringtone are available
now.
