Weh Yu Really A Say?!?: The Runway

STRUT ‘THE RUNWAY’

A-TEAM MUSIC BRINGS BEENIE MAN, RICHIE STEPHENS, ETANA, MR. VEGAS, & MORE TOGETHER

New York, NY (RAINE PR): A-Team MMusic, the production team behind Black Robb’s comeback street banger “Ventilation,” has assembled a bold mix of island talent for their first full len ngth release, a

Caribbean-tinged Dance album The Ru unway. Featuring Dancehall icon Beenie Man n, Reggae soulstress

Etana, Dancehall sensation Mr. Vegas s, Britain’s rising star Gappy Ranks, and bran nd new Latin crooner

Al Cruz, The Runway weaves the vari ied styles of Roots Reggae, Dancehall, Pop, Rh hythm & Blues, and

Gospel into a robust Dance music com mpilation that demonstrates the A-Team’s crea ative genius. The

Runway is scheduled to hit iTunes andd all digital outlets on Tuesday, June 14th .

The Runway boasts to not just be an a album, but a catwalk for the emotional garb th hat we wear through

daily life. Wayne Anthony’s “Be With You” and “Go” by Kristopher show off the mmore sensuous fabrics

of love while Mr. Lexx’s “Get Down” and Zumjay’s “Put It On” are the slinky, seedy lingerie of lust.

Gappy Ranks and Ovamars turn up the designer swag with “All Over Me,” and “Baid & Pose,” and

“Boom Boom” is Bugle’s straight up rump shaker. Al Cruz’s “Let Go” is a sobering heart-felt ballad

about heart break. On the rage-filled ““Monster,” Dancehall funk diva Natalie Storm shows the darker,

rougher side of love gone wrong, while D’Angel rocks the haute couture look of the bold and brazen on

“Yes Mi Know,” featuring her husband Beenie Man.

The Runway takes a sharp turn when Etana, sporting a militaristic suit of armor, combats poverty on

“Supper Time.” The album closes on Mr. Vegas’s foot-stomping gospel-esque “Love of God.” Caribbean

radio pioneer Pat McKay sews the seams of The Runway together with spoken word interludes.

“The album was inspired by thoughts and phrases and experiences that I’ve seen randomly posted on

Facebook and Twitter and other social networks -little snippets of people’s lives that are like flashes of a

camera bulb,” A-Team Music CEO Stanley ‘Rellee’ Hayden explains. “Instead of doing a compilation of random songs, I wanted to do something people can relate to. I call it ‘The Runway’ because in a way, we

all wear our emotions like clothing.”

“I was blown away by the level of production on the entire album,” says legendary platinum-selling

Dancehall producer Paul ‘Computer Paul’ Henton. “Rellee has created his own niche, blending dance

music with Reggae and Dancehall.”

“The Runway, sounds like the future,” says music journalist Rob Kenner of Boomshots.com, and Vibe

Magazine. “Not just because the beat bangs as hard as anything you’ll hear this side of Ibiza. But because

the quality of songs like Etana’s “Suppertime” raise the bar for Dancehall in 2011.”

The Runway was exclusively produced by A-Team Music, under the helm of Rellee Hayden. Coproduction

credits include Max ‘Mad Max’ Castor, Jesse Adleman, and Dennis “D.C. Soulplusmind”

Coronel for A-Team Music, and Tony ‘CD’ Kelly. The Runway will be available on iTunes and all digital

outlets on Tuesday, June 14th.

We strut through life with our emotions shrouding us like pieces of clothing. Whether it be the slinky

lingerie of lust, the designer flash of swag, the sharp cutting-edge of anger, or the sensuous look of love,

we wear our feelings for the world to see. THE RUNWAY is not a simple song compilation - it takes a

single beat and molds and shapes it to fit the range of emotional garb that we wear through life. THE

RUNWAY is not just an album…it’s a lifestyle.

THE RUNWAY flows through love, lust, happiness, hurt, heartache, social turmoil, and faith with

surprising ease, taking the different styles and tempos of Roots reggae, Dancehall, Pop, Rhythm &

Blues, and Gospel, and weaving them together into a concept album with the same underlying pulse.

THE RUNWAY features a wide range of artists, from stalwarts like Richie Stephens, Beenie Man, Etana

Red Foxx, and Mr. Vegas to rising stars like Wayne Anthony, Gappy Ranks, Natalie Storm, and

Kristopher, and brand new talent Al Cruz.

THE RUNWAY was exclusively produced by A-Team Music, at the helm of CEO and executive producer

Stanley ‘Rellee’ Hayden. Co-production credits include Max ‘Mad Max’ Castor, Jesse Adleman, and

Dennis “D.C. Soulplusmind” Coronel for A-Team Music, and Tony ‘CD’ Kelly.
