Independent Artists get EXPOSED
Within the sub-plot of every episode, music is given consideration as to how it
might keep the audiences attention. The majority of the music in each episode comes
from Independent music artist.
One notable exception;
Case the award winning artist
that brought you hits like Missing You, Faded Picture (in a broken glass), Happy
Ever After, appears in the
Open Eyes episodes. Lovely from Case's latest works "The Rose Experiment" is in the episode soundtrack. There are similarities to New York
Undercover; just like in that television series gave rise to then lesser know artist
and music at the time: Mary J Blidge, Jodec, and others, Atlanta Homicide is doing
likewise! Artists are being featured in the soundtracks, closing credits and video
mash-ups. These artists are not short on talent; they just need a little more exposure!!
Add these names to your playlist: Monica Matthews, Kai Alece, Lab Ratz, Dead Broke, Alvin Smith, Mike Moore and others. Stay tuned for more artists; if you want your music considered for use in an Atlanta Homicide episode or video, drop me an email at music@nottheads.com.

on a catcher's face on a hot Sunday afternoon; memories, vivid as the crack of the
bat on a line drive through the gap rolling to the fence and the roaring crowd on
an autumn day; memories that you keep and share for a lifetime. Where are the tales
of the Clash of the Titians; the cat with the blazing fastball versus the slugger
who hits balls so hard that they cry for forgiveness for approaching the plate;
like it was the last wish to be hit so far that it would not have to be punished
again. The border wars, the small towns, back roads, dirt fields...
Jay-Z's new Manhattan sports club, 40/40, opened last month with a cigar room. A
cigar "gives you an air of invincibility," the rapper says, "You feel unstoppable.
It's the guy's version of stopping to smell the roses. USA Today reported, at parties
in Los Angeles and the Hamptons, Zino Platinum cigars considered the "Cristal
of cigars" were given out as part of the festivities. Jay-Z, who says he has smoked
cigars "on and off since 1996, " is partial to Zino Platinums,
which come in large
silver matchboxes of three cigars for $87 to $127.
