FTD released an upcoming album from Ispectah Deck, titled “Manifesto” which has a retail release date of March 23, 2010.
As a founding member of Staten Island s Wu-Tang Clan, it’s not an overstatement to say this is a man who changed the game. Now straight from the slums of Shaolin Inspectah Deck is back with Manifesto, his best solo effort to date. Long regarded as one of Hip Hop s most gifted MC s, Deck is joined on Manifesto by Raekwon, Billy Danze of M.O.P, Termanology, Cormega, Kurupt, Planet Asia, Cappadonna and many more. Deck takes a hands on approach to the beats, personally producing several cuts and overseeing all production. Many of the beats are based on live tracks laid down by the same line up of musicians (The Revelations) behind 2009 s Wu-Tang Chamber Music. In addition to stellar appearance throughout the Wu catalog and solo efforts, Deck is also known for his appearances on all time classic albums such as Big Pun s Capital Punishment, Gangstarr’s Moment of Truth and Pete Rock s Soul Survivor. Further, his own solo efforts are some of the best to ever arise from the Wu-Tang camp. Now is the time for Inspectah Deck to deliver truth to the world of Hip Hop. This is his Manifesto.

Ten-time Grammy Award winner/vocal innovator Bobby McFerrin surprises us yet again with VOCAbuLarieS, his first new release in eight years. Like his #1 worldwide hit song Don’t Worry Be Happy and his multi-platinum duo album Hush with cellist Yo-Yo Ma, VOCAbuLarieS is based on Bobby’s experiments with multi-track recording and his ceaseless exploration of the potential of the human voice. VOCAbuLarieS is Bobby McFerrin music for the 21st century. A collaboration with the composer/arranger/producer Roger Treece, VOCAbuLarieS features over fifty of the world’s finest singers, recorded one at a time and in small groups to create a virtual choir made up of over 1,400 vocal tracks. Constructed as meticulously as a Mozart symphony or a Steely Dan album, intricately synthesized from countless stylistic elements, VOCAbuLarieS may be unlike any album anyone has ever recorded. Yet the music is always accessible, joyous, and inviting. VOCAbuLarieS celebrates Bobby’s love of all musical genres, from classical to world music, R&B to gospel and beyond, building upon McFerrin’s past explorations and journeying into bold new territory. If the song Don’t Worry Be Happy is all you know about Bobby McFerrin, sit back and prepare to be amazed.
DOH released an upcoming album from The Scorpions, titled “Sting In The Tail″ which has a retail release date of March 23, 2010.
After the release of their album, STING IN THE TAIL, and a three-year mammoth tour, which will take them across five continents, one of the most successful rock bands in the world, SCORPIONS, will be ending their career. During their 40-year career, SCORPIONS sold over 100 million albums and received many awards, such as the World Music Award and several Echos–the German equivalent to the Grammy. Today they still play sold-out venues around the world. Not long ago, 152,000 South Americans came to 15 SCORPIONS concerts between Rio de Janeiro and Mexico City. Their song “Wind of Change” has become an anthem for the fall of the Iron Curtain. The tour will launch in the band’s home country Germany in May. After that, they will be touring through North America before they continue their journey through five other continents until 2012.
2010 album from the multi-platinum Funk Soul brothers, their first album in five years. Classic Fantastic bursts out of that gloom like a glorious sunrise shooting infinite rays over a range of shadowy mountains, as spectacularly life-affirming as the last five years have been creatively death-defying. The songs tell stories, notes Huey, ‘about the human condition’; from the bonkers Psychedelic Party-Rock of ‘Mars’, to the sumptuous, summertime, trumpeting Soul of ‘Classic Fantastic’. Summer shimmers on via the irresistible, piano-led, De la Soul-goes-Latino-carnival of ‘She Sings At The Sun’, there’s the comedy skit ‘Conversations With Our Attorney’ featuring ‘Mike Strutter’, Paul Kaye’s outrageous MTV character. A Rock meltdown follows with ‘The Originals’ before ‘Keep On Yellin’, featuring Roots Manuva!
