DAME GREASE OF VACANT LOT RECORDS TO RELEASE THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED COMMERCIAL BEAT FOR DOWNLOAD ON MY SPACE

SOURCE NOT STATED IN THE POST

Harlem, NY - Last April, multi-platinum producer Dame Grease drew attention from fans and media outlets when he gave away a free beat valued at $20,000 through a special contest on his MySpace page. After the success of that contest, Grease has decided to once again place a beat on MySpace for a free download. The winner of the previous Free Grease Beat was MYSTIK, the hottest white girl in Philly! She ripped the competition and took the crown home. Grease had to choose from 10,000 submissions, but he said, "it was something about her voice, her delivery, that led me to choosing her." Now Mystik is scheduled to work with Grease in the studios on his mixtape.

On Tuesday, December 19th, Indie artists and Music Marketers who have approached Grease for a classic production will have a field day when this beat is released for download. The Beat's commercial appeal lays the perfect foundation for a break-through hit! Why pay $50,000 for a beat when you could log on to www.myspace.com/vacantlotofficial and download the beat for just 99 cents. Grease was the first producer to give away a free beat online, and now he's saving the Industry from exhausting their marketing/advertising budgets once again. Unlike his followers, Grease created the buzz and developed the blueprint for mastering the sound of classic hits. With over 20 million records sold up to date, Grease is giving his fans the opportunity to make it!
