PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 18, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- RMD Entertainment Group (Pink Sheets:RMDG) proudly announced today that Roc Monee will be the opening act for the Superstar Rap Duo "Ying Yang Twins" beginning on February 15 in Columbus, Ohio. This is a major venue tour and dates are confirmed in cities across the country through the April 20 show at Fairleigh Dickinson University in Madison N.J.
The Ying Yang Twins have been among the elite stars in the hip-hop game since the year 2000 when they hit number one on the U.S. rap chart with their smash hit, "Whistle While You Twurk" from their debut album, Thug Walkin. They have consistently pushed the boundaries of originality in their musical compositions and have achieved ten top 25 singles on the U.S. charts including six top-ten positions. Because of their massive appeal across the U.S. and abroad, they have been able to achieve multi-platinum status as artists in America and Europe. The group is best known for the 2005 smash, "Wait (The Whisper Song)" and has recently reached the number-five position in the U.S. with "Ms. New Booty" with Bubba Sparxxx.
"This is a great day for Roc and the company," says Giorgio Costonis CEO of RMDG. "We all believed in Roc's album and stayed dedicated to him as an artist from day one. The payoff has begun to show for our shareholders and the company with Roc being selected to go on tour with a group such as the Ying Yang Twins. This presents a great opportunity to increase our already promising sales and reach the next level in revenue for the project as well as to raise RMD's profile and status in the hip-hop marketplace. The addition of Roc to the Ying Yang tour has opened major doors to sales programs at all the venues via Universal's point of sales program while raising awareness to major retail outlets across the country for the album. Management is working very closely with major radio promotion entities and the staff at Bungalo Records and Universal Music Group to capitalize on this incredible opportunity. We will be extremely aggressive in our approach to the marketing and programs we roll out now as we see that we have finally had a major breakthrough with Roc and see this album as the spark that we needed to help the entire RMD succeed on the highest level financially in 2007. I feel fortunate that we were able to pave the way for our other five music releases during this calendar year and see great things to come for all of us. The people have begun to speak up and they have said Roc Monee is an artist that has superstar potential. On behalf of RMDG staff and shareholders, we congratulate Roc on his recent and future successes."
In related news, management has been very encouraged with recent developments with its subsidiary, MOTV Inc., and plans to update shareholders on the progress of the company next week.
