Catch Live Performance Friday at Smith’s Olde Bar in Atlanta

Atlanta, January 11, 2010 — SIMP’s much anticipated sophomore mixtape is now available for download free at www.SIMP247.com. The mixtape includes tracks from some of the most popular hiphop anthems of the last decade.

After great deliberation on what his new mixtape should include, SIMP settled on answering the requests of his supporters. Confident in his lyrical ability,SIMP fans suggested he lace his unique style and message over some of the most difficult and hard-to-top hiphop tracks. He answered their call with the birth of the appropriately named collection, titled, “The Challenger.”

Last week, SIMP dropped the debut video off of “The Challenger” mixtape, titled “Run This Town,” on YouTube. To date, the reviews and comments have confirmed that he has something that is needed in today’s hiphop genre. YouTube user, Jkmarsh commented “It's good to be able to understand what you’re saying and to hear a different message than the same old same old.” Daddesangel03 remarked, “I love it, you never cease to amaze me with you talent,” and MediaAmerica cosigned with “The dopest…ever.”

On Friday, January 15, 2010, SIMP will be performing cuts off of “The Challenger” in Atlanta at Smith’s Olde Bar. Smith’s Olde Bar is located at 1578 Piedmont Ave., Atlanta, GA 30307. SIMP’s show starts at 8 pm.

SIMP’s “The Challenger” is available for immediate download at www.SIMP247.com. Downloaders will find a special surprise as there is a guest drop by someone who is truly press worthy of CNN headlines. The guest spot comes from one of the most influential media figures in network broadcasting and a very unlikely endorser of a hiphop mixtape.

Simp's Bio

Hailing just 22 miles SE of Washington, D.C. from the city of Waldorf, MD, emerges an emcee named SIMP who is poised to carry on the old-school, funk and soul-filled hip-hop torch dropped by his counterparts. Recently established as co-owner of Atlanta record label, Beat Studios Productions, he now has the perfect avenue to channel his creative vision.

This alumni of Hampton University cites his upbringing in an area best known in hip-hop for its energetic “Go-Go” percussion, for the influence that led to his pursuit of making music. “I began spinning records for local parties when I was 14 years old,” he said. “So I had to listen to everything and I developed a broad taste in music.” His favorite emcees include Nas and Lupe Fiasco, but the influence of the rap pioneers that starred in the soundtrack of his youth shine through in his recordings and live performances.

While his names derives from the word simple (meaning easy to solve or understand, not complicated), SIMP the emcee, is anything but. “A lot of people called me simple when I was growing up so I rolled with it,” states the 23 year old rapper. “I picked it because life can be simple yet complicated in its simplicity.” Some songs lyrically illustrate that concept as he gracefully and rhythmically tells his stories of love, loss, racism and faith. Other songs of his , showcase his wit, and ring with such exuberant energy that they will SIMPly raise the spirit and arouse the body.
