The Package - Windows To The Soul from Spirit Equality on Vimeo.
**LATEST BUSINESS MOVES**
DJ Hyphen of Seattle is promoting The Package’s music video for
“Making Waves” (directed by Peter Rosenberg of Hot 97) to 260
hospitality locations nationwide through his company, Screenplay Inc
(which supplies bars, hotels and restaurants with video content to
entertain their patrons).
In equally big news, Real Hip-Hop Network (RHN) has expressed interest in airing the
“Making Waves” video, pending some minor editing that we have to do to conform
with their needs.
These are two big strides towards exposing The Package’s debut video to the whole
country!
**UPCOMING SHOWS**
The Package has two performances coming up during inaugural weekend
(the Tuesday show is tentatively cancelled) and multiple appearances
at community radio planned for that week to promote their debut album,
“New Golden Era” (available on iTunes, cdbaby.com and at
performances).
Sun. Jan 18: Asylum (2471 18th St NW) (currently being finalized)
Mon. Jan 19: The Red and The Black (1212 H St NE)
$8, Doors at 8, Show @ 8:30
w/ The Five One and Triple Saccs
Tues. Jan 20: This show was one installment of a weekly event, but I
was just informed by the promoter of that weekly event that the venue
was rented to a private third party on the night of the 20th. I hope
this matter can be resolved, but for now, we’re saying this show is
cancelled.
Throughout most of inaugural week, The Package will be on the Decipher
strip (WPFW 89.3 FM’s weeklong hip-hop programming, M-F, 10-11,
streaming live wpfw.org). The confirmed dates are:
Mon. Jan 19: Ill Street Grooves, 10-11
Wed. Jan 21: Holla Back, 10-11
Thurs. Jan 22: Soul Controllers, 10-11
Fri. Jan 23: Power Hour, 10-11
Unfortunately, the Blackademics crew on Tuesday will be pre-empted by inaugural
coverage, so we will not be able to appear there.
Additionally, on Friday January 16, Theory of The Package will be
competing in the King of the Beltway producer battle at Jammin Java
(227 Maple St E, Vienna VA), as presented by Inner Loop Records.
**LATEST VIDEOS**
Our long-delayed new video, “Warning” featuring 2009 Grammy Award
Nominee Kokayi, Grap Luva and Enoch, is out now and can be seen at

**DMV LOVE BIG-UP SECTION**
Only nine days in, this has already been a huge month for the DMV as
Raekwon and Cappadonna ciphered with Ra The MC, Jamila, Benji and some
of DMV’s freshest talents at the Wu-Tang afterparty at Indulj. Wale
and Tabi Bonney got featured by MTV2’s “My Block” at Mirrors. And, of
course, Tabi rocked out with some ill b-boys and b-girls at Langdon
Park Rec Center for his “Duhhh” video. With collabos from Kokayi and Tabi
soon to bless our ears, as well as talk of a Wale/Oddisee pairing, 2009 is
shaping up to be a banner year in the DMV.
Thank you for your continued support of The Package and DMV music as a whole!
