Charon Don and DJ Huggy Offer Art Of Life

Pittsburgh, PA. (Top40 Charts/ Good Hands Records) - The road to independent success is paved with obstacles, but a select few artists seem to breeze along as they develop in their careers. Pittsburgh, Philadelphia natives Charon Don and DJ Huggy are prime examples of artists who make working hard look easy. The duo, also known as Hands Down, is preparing the release of their second full-length project entitled Art Of Life. The album will be released September 4 on Good Hands Records.

After the release of their 2001 debut album Mental Combustion, Charon Don and DJ Huggy signed with Good Hands Records, and have worked on a number of projects from Charon Don's involvement on JuJu Mob's Black Candles LP to Huggy's production for various artists including Wiz Khalifa, Black Rob, Baby of Cash Money, Camp Lo and MC Eiht.

The most valuable thing the duo has attained through their work is a solid chemistry. "I've definitely learned that chemistry is very important - getting to know yourself and the creative partners around you," explains DJ Huggy. "Due to the circumstances of making this album and doing our outside projects, I realized that Charon and I definitely have that chemistry. I don't take it for granted - our project is moving on time."

Art Of Life is an 18-song journey with Charon and Huggy, as they unveil life experiences that have affected the evolution of their sound. Guest appearances on the album include Rah Digga, Lil Scrappy, Wiz Khalifa, Killah Priest, Reef The Lost Cauze, BeLove, Leymar White and Chief Kamachi, while DJ Huggy holds down all of the production. The rousing first single from the album "Up In Here" features Lil Scrappy and Rah Digga.

"Overall, I would say this album is a balance- it's half culture, half street," says Charon Don. "There are key concepts of politics and history, but we are speaking on what we see in our neighborhood. Art of Life is a freedom of expression. We're all artists, and we are just painting what we see."
