NEW YORK (Jive Records) - Independent record label Break 'Em Off Records, Jermaine Dupri, CEO of So So Def Recordings and Zomba Label Group are set to release the sophomore album of one of Atlanta's most prominent and charismatic rappers, Bone Crusher.
His release,
'Fight Music' comes on the heels of his gold-selling debut album
Attenchum!, which featured his supercharged single, "
Never Scared" (with fellow Atlantans
Killer Mike and T.I.).
The first single, entitled "Take Ya Clothes Off," features Ying Yang Twins and is beginning to blaze the radio airwaves across the country. Co-written by Bone Crusher, the hit single is from his forthcoming album, 'Fight Music' which arrives in stores August 24th.
"Take Ya Clothes Off" is produced by Jevor and Beats-N-Azz and says Bone Crusher, the track is "self-explanatory." "Take your clothes off and get bucky naked. Yeah. I think I'm pretty clear," he exclaims.
In addition to cuts produced by the hit-making Dupri, the album also finds the artist in the studio with Avery Johnson (who produced "Never Scared"), producer L-Roc and Billy Hume. Dupri also serves as album Executive Producer along with Dan Brown, CEO of Break 'Em Off Records.
Since co-directing So So Def/Zomba Label Group rapper J-Kwon's video for his current single, "Hood Hop," Dupri also sat behind the director's chair on the promotional video for "Take Ya Clothes Off." The video, shot in Atlanta, will begin airing on local and national video channels later this month.
Influenced by one of Hip-Hop's greats, Run DMC, Bone Crusher has been honing his musical skills from an early age and has picked up scores of fans with his energetic stage presence. Bone Crusher'S fearless assault on Atlanta and the southeast placed him square in the middle of the music industry radar.
"'Fight Music' is about every aspect of what a fight is. It's about actual fighting like whooping somebody's ass. Then it's about fighting, or the struggle to get ourselves together," says Bone Crusher.
