BREW MUSIC: The Birth of a Label

BREW MUSIC

It all started with Mike Straws, President of Mystique Records in 1994. An Indie label with 3 artist; Shanita Renee (a dance music act), The Tribesmen (Hip-Hop), and Flow (a teen male R&B duet). Mike recognized Brewmaster’s talent when it came to marketing & promotions and offered him a position as promotional director of the label. And of course it was fun being able to get air time for the records, and create a market for the acts. With a minimal budget it really wasn’t enough to generate the record sales to keep Mystique alive. The label died in the process of creating the R&B duet “Flow”.

Thank God Marketing & Promotions was the business of Brewmaster Promotions, a company which is owned by The Brewmaster”. There was always work. The major labels kept BREWMASTER busy for a while until the birth of the label “street teams”. Indie labels were starting to arise very quickly, and Brewmaster Promotions was flourishing. Also by having a hand as full service club & concert agent, BREWMASTER also provided Indy Labels an avenue to showcase their talent. Then a bright idea came to The Brewmaster & his associates to really get the Indy Label’s music on the street. They created “MusicOnTheStreets.com in 1998. This would have been the first online music marketing & promotions company, which also provided street team services through-out the country to partake in grassroots promotions. Not only giving the Indy Label’s street presence, but also the ability to sell their music online.

One day two brothers Will & Black (Twelve 88) was brought into Brewmaster’s office by Steve Reis (who also brought Jimmy E, one of our male vocalist). Twelve 88 needed marketing & promotions. Will managed 16 year old BLACK into a recording contract with veteran indie Select Records (one of the influential labels in rap music, (responsible for M.O.P., Kid N Play, AMG, Chubb Rock, Salt N Pepper, among many others). BLACK released two singles, including the highly successful "Igpay Atinlay"(Pig Latin)," under the moniker "Black Madness" in 1993, before leaving to form his own label, Movin' Weight Records two years later. Brewmaster was very impressed with their music, but they weren’t impressed with the service fee. They reluctantly left the office only to call a few minutes later. And bartered 25% of Movin’ Weight Records for the services to be rendered. The Brewmaster really believed in the product so it was an easy decision to a hard road.

Movin’ Weight Records began a hard grind selling the albums on the streets which was easier than perceived. hWe inked a deal with Select Records with the brothers Will & Chris Black as “Twelve 88” The Single “Uh-Huh” & The Album “Still Hustlin”. An unfortunate incident arised with Will & we had to revamp the Still Hustlin’ project. Through the struggle, the brother Will retreated to the world of employment. Brewmaster & Black kept albums hitting the streets.

Coming up with a second wind, from Movin' Weight Records to become Rawthchild Music. Under the Moniker of The Rawthchild Family we released the banging single “Ryde Wit Us” & after six years of pure hustle, Brewmaster & Black decided to create a Chris Black project, “DEF-CON 5. The Attention of Andrea Harley of Atlantic Recordings was captivated by the sound. Black signed a 1 year contract agreement with Andrea as his manager, praying that will get the deal with Atlantic. That contract had expired January 1, 2005. We released the Album “Parking Lot Platinum”. It was a good relationship, and the contract terminated with love. Rawthchild released album in the summer of 2005 totally independent.

Throughout the grind BREWMASTER has created his own distribution deal with Trans World Entertainment Entertainment and their chain of retail stores & Digital Distribution for Online Music Downloads. Now it’s time for BREW MUSIC to takes its first breath!

Brewmaster has recruited some of the hottest, talented acts and create a label that will be have to be reckoned with. Brew Music acquired a roster of 10 acts; 5 Hip-hop, 4 R&B/Neo-Soul & Pop. Four acts that were seasoned for release, Five were in production and a 12yr old male vocalist in development. Not being able to push forward with the artist & deal with the politics of the industry & the perversion of the industry.., BrewMusic was forced to to fall back & regroup.

After a long hiatus BREW Music re-invented marketing & promotions with the help of 360AXS & together inked a deal with UNIVERSAL MUSIC. This summer 2020, we will launch The Gifted One Drea under the banner of BrewMusic/360AXS/UMG

GET READY FOR A HOT SUMMER!!!
