The Package’s “Double R: Remixes and Rarities” project can be downloaded for Free.99 right HERE! This very special project features contributions from the DMV’s finest, including: Kev Brown, J-$crilla, Kokayi, DJ Eurok and Drew_Kid, E-Minah, Krayola, Enoch 7th Prophet, Laelo Hood, Head Roc, Pure Fiya, Nazz, Nicole Rumeau, Jack Danger, and Spirit Equality*. It’s a DMV family affair and we’ve giving it to the world as a special “thank you” to everyone who has supported The Package and the New Golden Era movement so far! We love all of y’all! Extra special love to everyone who contributed to each song on the project. Some of the tracks are remixes from originals featured on the “New Golden Era” album (still on iTunes *smile*), while the rarities are either exclusives from upcoming solo records from Dimes and Grizz that you will hear in radically different form on those respective projects (e.g. Miss Yum Yum) or songs you never would have heard otherwise in any form (e.g. Dimes 10.0). Theory mixed the entire project to perfection.

* On “Salute”, but uncredited.

Special shout to DJ Heat, Rule 4080, and Inner Loop for being the first bloggers to show love to this project. For The DMV Only and Upset the Setup also showed love. Thanks y’all!

DMV Love,

Spirit Equality

“Final Warning”, Theory’s incendiary re-working of the original “Warning”, both of which feature Enoch 7th Prophet can now be downloaded or streamed here

This is the second leak off of “Double R: Remixes and Rarities”, the remix album form The Package that will be available for free download in just a few more weeks! Producers who have contributed remixes so far include Kev Brown, J-$crilla, E-Minah and Theory and Dimes of The Package themselves, with several other producers including ID 4 Windz (of Scienz of Life) and Jay Mills are slated to contribute as well.

This DMV anthem is particularly timely, since the DMV just took a massive step forward as DMV vets Team Demo recently produced “Crime Wave”, a new buzz single for 50 Cent! The Internet is going crazy praising the production on the track and Jady Experience of Team Demo has been showered with props on his Twitter page. Congrats, fam!

DMV love,

Fresh off the acclaim from his own “Culture of Honor” CD (featuring DMV heavyweights alongside more established artists from other areas like Cassidy and JR Writer), J-$crilla brings the heat by remixing “The Drug” from The Package’s debut album, “New Golden Era”. This is the first teaser track to leak from the forthcoming free download album “Double R: Remixes and Rarities” that we will be dropping later this fall. Yet more classic music and another show of DMV unity featuring the PKG family! Stream the song below or download here! Big up to the blogs who have given us love so far, Rule4080 and Inner Loop Uncut (looking forward to more!)

Massive Respect to the DJ’s!!!!!!!

We have to give massive respect to the DJ’s, as always, but this time they deserve some special recognition because the DJ’s out there have been giving us so much love! Thanks to the support we’ve been getting, the “Making Waves” single is # 2 on two charts tracking national college radio play: Rap Attack (rapattacklives.com) and Rapnetwork Record Breakers (www.myspace.com/recordbreakercharts

Much love to the college and mix show DJ’s for helping us get this far!

But they’re not the only DJ’s showing The Package love…

DJ Vlad and the kind folks at vladtv.com have graciously decided to feature the video for “Making Waves” in his music video section. It has already racked up almost 10,000 views in its first two days of being posted, which is astonishing! Thanks, Vlad!

Big up to video director Bobby Yan for suggesting that PKG Entertainment submit our video to Vlad. Hit him at twitter.com/bobbyyan and tell him he’s a genius for this one and let him know the DMV loves him! :-)

In other news, Real Hip-Hop Network should also have the edited version of the “Making Waves” video as I type this…

Also, please vote for The Package for best hip-hop group and “Warning” (The Package feat. Enoch, Kokayi and Grap Luva) for Best Hip-Hop video in the DMV EMA’s at http://dmvemas.com/v1/vote.php

We’re suggesting Warning over Making Waves because Warning is a DMV unity song and we think it would make a great statement if it wins! It’s also an INCREDIBLE video! Show some DMV love and give it your vote!

“Warning” got major love at a recent local film festival where the video was screened. Everyone in the audience who showed a lot of appreciation for the video and the quality of the music. Of equal importance, they showed and proved their appreciation monetarily by buying every CD Grizz had on him.

Back to DMV EMAs for one moment, we have to mention that our comrades DJ Heat, RBI, Jamie B, and Mental Salvation radio also deserve your support in the radio and DJ categories, as does Kokayi for Best Male Rapper. Head-Roc is also worthy of consideration, but you only have one vote in each category so choose wisely! Apologies to anyone we forgot (in no particular order, Oddisee, X.O., Lyriciss, Benji, J Scrilla and any number of talented DMV folk).

2/14 addendum: Big up to DJ Swit, Millz & J.B. of the Pre Game Show on WCLH-FM in Wilkes Barre PA for the awesome interview. Thanks, brothers.

Peace,

Spirit
