As an extension of his
hip-hop roots, Christopher ‘Play’ Martin of the rap duo Kid 'n Play is
hosting BrandNewz, a broadcast and Internet news infotainment venue
that focuses on a wide range of topics from education and law to
finance and entertainment. The two-minute news briefs presented on
BrandNewz.com also appear on the "My RDC" (formerly UPN) network in the
Raleigh/Durham, N.C. market and online at www.BrandNewz.com.
The
venue's music is produced and arranged by two Grammy award-winning
hip-hop producers RockWilder and 9th Wonder. In 2001, RockWilder won a
Grammy for a remake of Labelle's "Lady Marmalade" with Christina
Aguilera, Lil' Kim, Mýa and Pink for the film Moulin Rouge. He also
contributed to some of the music beds with 9th Wonder, who has produced
for Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige and Erykah Badu.
BrandNewz will
feature "4 the Kid 'N' U," a weekly dose of social consciousness
through the comic strip renderings of cartoonists, and "The BNZ Music
Box" that features comedians and past, present and future inspirational
R&B classics to uplift your day.
Martin said, "I am very
humbled and honored to be a part of a project with producers like 9th
and Rock as well as the other upcoming talents that contribute to the
success of Brand Newz for positive changes and works that are not only
going on in the hip-hop community, but all across the globe."
BrandNewz
is a 24-hour “new newz network” produced by Hp4 Digital Works &
Solutions production company which provides service for digital motion
picture projects. The BrandNewz blueprint was implemented and developed
to showcase talented individuals who might otherwise be overlooked.
