 WARREN, N.J. and NEW YORK, (Virgin Mobile USA) - Virgin Mobile USA and Warner Music Group today announced that ringtones and wallpapers from Bad Boy recording artist Boyz N Da Hood. Boyz N Da Hood's self-titled album will be available exclusively on Virgin Mobile phones in the U.S. through its "First Dibs" program. This agreement represents the first time a WMG artist is highlighted in the "First Dibs" program. The deal also gives Virgin Mobile customers a way to help Katrina victims by purchasing the Boyz N Da Hood logo wallpaper. Net proceeds will be donated to the Children's Health Fund to benefit hurricane relief. "We're thrilled to be partnering with Warner Music Group on this 'First Dibs' offer," said Jeff Toig, director of mobile content for Virgin Mobile USA. "Rap is consistently at the top of the download list for our customers, so we know the Boyz N Da Hood offer will be right up their alley." The deal includes 11 exclusive ringtones from the album, such as Felonies, Happy Jamz and If U A Thug, and three wallpapers - one of which has been donated by Bad Boy Entertainment's Boyz N Da Hood to benefit hurricane Katrina victims. For each logo wallpaper downloaded, Virgin Mobile and Bad Boy Entertainment will donate the net proceeds to the Children's Health Fund. Exclusive content will be available for purchase through October 31 on all 3G-enabled Virgin Mobile phones and at https://www.virginmobileusa.com.
