LOS ANGELES, [b][color=blue]Apr 10, 2013[/color][/b] (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Primco Management Inc. (OTCQB: PMCM) a fully integrated multi-media entertainment company, today announced that its ESMG Music Label has set the release date for its first Single featuring HipHop artist, Checkmate. This artist was nurtured under the groundbreaking music artist development and distribution deal inked by ESMG Inc. with Atlanta based Mueziq Entertainment on November 15, 2012, which included HipHop artists Checkmate, D.A.B and Kamp Hustle.
In collaboration with Mueziq Entertainment, Checkmate's first single entitled "Guaponese" is scheduled to begin active promotion on or about April 30, 2013 with street marketing provided by Mueziq Entertainment initially, which will include club promotion, mixshow and college radio promotion supported by mixshow radio play in Texas and in the Atlanta area. Once the Single reaches the desired level of spins as reported by Mediabase (an industry recognized airplay monitoring service that monitors, detects and reports airplays throughout the United States) the Single will be further supported by the ESMG radio division for National exposure. This Hot Hip Hop Single is expected to become the newest "Anthem" with every fan from Atlanta to Dallas, New York to L.A. following and speaking the brand new language of "Guaponese"
Hip-hop continues to drive the urban music industry. Globally, music revenues from all sources exceed $ 16 billion annually and while physical CD sales are declining their revenues are being replaced by digital/on-line sales as the transition to digital is stabilizing the industry. In the Hip-Hop world however, sales of CD are still robust. The ESMG Music label plans to capitalize on the opportunities still readily available in music production and distribution. With advances in technology the cost to produce Albums has decreased significantly - which ensures that a healthy and robust operating margin is achieved from distribution. This will become even more profitable with ESMG's innovative and targeted marketing programs, and integration and cross-promotion of its music Artists throughout its other operating divisions.
"I have been able to bring these exceptional Hip-Hop Artists to Primco through ESMG as a result of my 25 years in the urban music business and the close associations I have developed, such as with Antwone Payne, the founder of Mueziq Entertainment. Together, we are developing the best stable of new and established Hip-Hop Artists under multi-Album contracts. We are confident that our Artists will dominate the music charts and we are excited to invite them into the Primco/ESMG family," stated David Michery, President and CEO of Primco and ESMG.
