He collaborated with Birdman in 2006 and released the album “Like Father, Like Son” which featured another big song “Stuntin Like My Daddy”.

After this album Lil Wayne would go on a run being on many hit singles and releasing many mixtapes. His mixtapes were so popular on the streets that they were breaking download records on Datpiff and saw many DJs bootlegging his material because they knew that’s what the streets wanted. He was pretty much on every hit album and song released through the period of 2006-2008. This includes “Make It Rain” with Fat Joe, “You” with Lloyd, “I’m So Hood”, and much more.

Kid Ink Booking

Kid Ink is covered in tattoos thus why his name is Kid Ink, and why he gets comparisons to other rappers covered in ink like Tyga and Wiz Khalifa. The rapper has gained a lot of attention on the internet, getting over 50 million views on YouTube, and having his tracts spread across blogs. It was after his hit “Time of Your Life”, that Kid Ink bookings hit an all-time high, and labels started to call to find out who this young 25 year old Los Angeles rapper is, and why they hadn’t signed him yet.

Kid Ink spent the beginning of his music industry career in production, producing hits for Diddy, Sean Kingston, and Nipsey Hussle. He started doing it because he had many friends already rapping, and he knew that they needed beats so he started to make it for his friends and it took off from there. Producing just wasn’t enough for him though, and he knew that he wanted to be at the forefront of the scene. People don’t really book producers for shows, they book the artist, so he knew what he had to do.

He started out creating melodies and hooks for the songs he would produce, and he slowly starting utilizing the opportunity to hone his songwriting skills. It was when he teamed up with DJ Ill Will and DJ Rockstar to form Tha Alumni Music Group that things started to take off, and his grind took another level. This started with the release of his first mixtate on the streets, “Crash Landing” which, started to heat things up for the young rapper. Off of this mixtape, promoters started to book Kid Ink all over the world from LA to Russia. Off of a mixtape, that is an impressive feat.

In true mixtape tradition, he began to collaborate with many artists, everyone from Gudda Gudda to Meek Mill, he used his connections and his hustle mentality to go out there   and create a movement for himself. He started to release al ot of videos which quickly gained views, and to date are at over 50 million views. Unbelievable!

In 2011 he released his 2nd mixtape Daydreamer on the internet, and it gained over 100,000 downoads on Datpiff, and featured some heavyweights on production like The Runner, Tha Bizness who produces for Lil Wayne, and the hard hitting Lex Luger. At this time, he was still doing everything independently with the Alumni Music Group, and was still out there shooting videos to promote the mixtapes. This is why the Kid Ink booking price went up, and people wanted him at their events.

He released the mixtape “Wheels Up”, and this one blew him up even further and had people asking “How Can I Book Kid Ink For My Show??”. He began to do shows in places like Denmark and Toronto, and he was turning into an international artist with the response he was getting from this mixtape.

It was 2012 that would propel Kid Ink to celebrity status, and have labels bidding over him. He released “Time Of Your Life” and the song had 20,000 downloads on I-Tunes, and was playing on radio stations throughout the U.S. The song was simply huge and took Kid Ink to another level. He released his first album “Up and Away” and the album broke onto the charts and hit #1 on Rap I-Tunes, and different labels began gunning for him. He eventually signed with RCA records and released his first single “Bad Ass” with Wale and Meek Mill. The song is already gaining a lot of traction, and people are sitting back and waiting for him to release his first major label album, so he can be booked for tours and concerts.

Kid Ink is definitely not only one of the hottest rappers on the West Coast, but one of the hottest rappers in the game right now. Let us help you book Kid Ink for your next event, and we’ll see how we can pack the venue out.

Gunplay Booking

Gunplay is a member of Rick Ross’s group the “Carol City Cartel”, and he probably the wildest of the members. When you are booking Gunplay, you are sure to get him putting on an insane show with his wild and often over the top personality. This personality matches his rapping style, that can be described as sometimes erratic, but the style sounds good over the music that he raps to.

The group Triple Cs released the album “Custom Cars & Cycles” in 2009 and the album debuted in the Top 50 on the billboard charts. This would be the first time the world really got a glimpse of Gunplay and it certainly wasn’t the last. After the release of this album, he would go onto release multiple mixtapes under Rick Ross‘s Maybach Music imprint. He began to get a buzz off of these mixtapes, and doing collaborations and promoters slowly started to book Gunplay, for different events.

In 2o12, Kendrick Lamar released a song called Cartoons and Cereal featuring Gunplay. This song would show the extent to what Gunplay could do as the song was critically acclaimed and had people seeing the potential of Gunplay as he really put a lot of emotion and feeling into the track. After this, many people began consistently checking for Gunplay and he eventually ended up signing a deal with Def Jam off of this buzz.

August Alsina Booking

Booking August Alsina is sure to bring the party out, as ladies are already coming out in groups to see this new young sensation that is from New Orleans, Lousiana and just hardly 20 years old. He is following in the tradition of legends from the New Orleans scene that were before him, and he solidified it with a new deal from Def Jam that is putting him in the direction to be a superstar.

August had a tough upbringing with him losing his father to drugs. It was this that made him take music more serious, and he began posting home videos onto YouTube covering different soul singers. These videos quickly began to gain traction, but this would all end when one of his close friends was killed in the streets of Chicago. During this period, people weren’t booking August Alsina for shows yet as he didn’t have any big hits on his hands just yet. This led to him going back to New Orleans and selling drugs to survive and make money but this only led to more tragedy as his brother was also gunned down. He used his death as motivation to fight on and become one of the hottest artist.

August has since been growing as an artist very quickly, and already has a hit on his hands with his new single with Trinidad James that is blowing up the clubs. He also has a mixtape as well that is getting a lot of traction, which is making him one of the hottest singers out on the streets right now, and why promoters are already getting August Alsina booking information so they can began making plans to bring him out their city. He has taken this traction, and signed a deal with The Dreams label Radio Killa imprint which is under Def Jam Records. He is planning on releasing his album in August of 2013, and this will surely boost up his profile even more as he will likely have many hits from that CD as well.

Publications are already saying that he is going to take Trey Songz place as the Bad Boy of R&B, but he is definitely going to carbe his own path in the game. The exposure and press that he is getting is causing the August Alsina booking price to go up, and with the radio play his fee is only going to continue to go upo. He released the project “The Product” with DJ Scream on April 15hth which was the birthday of his late brother. He was one of the hottest free agents but now that he has signed a deal with The Dream, he is now one of the hottest signed artists without an album. Surely him working with The Dream will only mean that his profile will only get bigger and bigger, as The Dream is known for knocking out hits not only for himself but for everybody including Rihanna and Jay-Z. Pr

If you havent already began looking into reserving him, you can reach out to us to get all the August Alsina booking information you need to have him for you next event.
