COOLIO OFFERS EXCLUSIVE MP3 DOWNLOAD OF NEW SINGLE, "DEAD MAN WALKING", ON CHUCK D’S RAPSTATION.COM
Chuck D and Coolio join forces in the cyberworld, as Coolio delivers a brand-new single exclusively to Chuck D’s new supersite, Rapstation.com. "Dead Man Walking" is available for MP3 download only at Rapstation, which launched just a week ago, and comes in the wake of Coolio’s departure from his former record company, Tommy Boy. The single appears on his upcoming album, due in the first quarter of 2000, his first away from Tommy Boy.
Grammy-winning rap artist Coolio has sold over 17 million albums worldwide, and hosts BET television show "Madd Sports." Chuck D, founder of seminal rap group Public Enemy and leading proponent of MP3 technology and new music download technology, launched Rapstation.com in late September. Labeled the "ESPN of hip hop" by Chuck, it serves as the definitive rap and hip hop culture website, dedicated to enlightening, entertaining, empowering and educating the global community. In addition to MP3 music, Rapstation features a radio station, television station, celebrity interviews, information for aspiring hip hop artists and a forum for political expression and discussion.
Rapstation.com is a sponsor of Public Enemy’s fall North American tour, and has partnered with the House Of Blues to produce a series of live, pay-per-view concerts.
Rapstation.com is a Creamwerks Multimedia venture.
