Arabesque Releases Debut Album 'The Frenzy Of Renown'

New York, NY (Label Sin Nombre Records) - Arabesque's debut album The Frenzy of Renown features the hit single 'Bellyache.' Armed with both underground credibility and commercial success, Arabesque (aka Aramaic) has firmly landed on the Hip-hop map thanks to a combination of hard work, determination and skill. With insightful, witty lyrics and a Sly Stone choral grit, the Toronto born Palestinian has continued to shatter glass ceilings since the first day he blessed a mic.

Regarding the single, Besque says, 'With my career snowballing into significance the last couple years, I slowly hear the local cats developing green-eyed opinions on me, when they see me they break out the therapeutic apricot oils and massage my ego. Jealous cats stoop to the lowest level and in the end inspire only disgust and loathing.

Arabesque's debut CD will be released worldwide on Sin Nombre Records on Jan. 17, 2006. Sin Nombre is a hot new UK based label with distribution through Universal in the United Kingdom and Canada and 101 in the United States. 101 is also home to The Game, Chamillionaire, Paul Wall, Lil Flip and more.

Besque says, "Signing with Sin Nombre adds a lot of leverage to my career. The reach they are capable of is well-heeled and it just seemed like the most calculated move. Sin Nombre gave me hope and a measure of understanding. It's really just time for me to tell my story."

After the underground release of his debut 12 inch 'Choked Up' things began to move fast. With the record instantly hitting a chord with heads across the nation, Besque found himself graduating from campus celebrity to national radio mainstay. With over half a million people now bumping along to his music; it was time to step into the major leagues. The release of his second single, 'Bellyache' and its slick video directed by acclaimed filmmaker Cazhhmere, quickly catapulted Arabesque into heavy rotation on MTV Canada and Much Music.

Ben Pedroche, owner of Sin Nombre says, "Having Arabesque sign on the dotted line was a major coup for us. We are very excited about the release of The Frenzy of Renown. This is also just the start of the expansion of Sin Nombre Records and will help us to make a significant impact. Next year we will continue to build a solid roster of artists and ensure that we keep the releases coming. Watch this space."
