DREAMVILLE RECORDING ARTIST LUTE READIES NEW PROJECT

DREAMVILLE RECORDING ARTIST LUTE READIES NEW PROJECT

West 1996 Pt. 2 Available September 29

Lute: Still Slummin’ Documentary Out Now

Dreamville/Interscope Records recording artist Lute will release West 1996 Pt.2 on September 29th at all digital retailers. The new project is the follow up to his first solo mixtape West 1996 which dropped in 2012. His mixtape success caught the ear of J. Cole who later signed the rising rapper to Dreamville Records in 2015. The Charlotte native also gives his fans a look into his life with the release of Lute: Still Slummin’ Documentary which can be seen HERE.  
 
West 1996 Pt. 2 is a contemporary throwback featuring soulful production contributions from GRAMMY-winner Cam O’bi (“Ford’s Prayer” and “Premonition” feat. Earthgang), alongside Shiggy (“Home” feat. Elevator Jay and “Git Up’ feat. GQ Slaughter), Elite (“Ambitions”) and Save Allen (“Morning Shift“, “Crabs In A Barrel“ and “Livin’ Life” feat. High I’m Ry). The first single “Juggin’,” also produced by Save Allen, serves as a metaphor for how Lute has approached his 28 years on the planet.

 

“This project is an accumulation of chapters and events leading up to Dreamville signing me. It’s a window into the last five years of my life…the obstacles, the challenges, the changes. It’s also motivation to not let people or circumstances define who you are. My only competition is the person I was yesterday. I’ve been patient and very appreciative of this platform and now its time to show what I’m capable of,” comments Lute.

 
You can check out the video for his new single “Juggin’,” directed by Anthony Supreme HERE.

UNITED NATIONS HOSTS WORLD PREMIERE OF ASHLEY JUDD DRAMA

UNITED NATIONS HOSTS WORLD PREMIERE OF ASHLEY JUDD DRAMAINSPIRED BY TRUE EVENTS, “TRAFFICKED”

Following its United Nations premiere, TRAFFICKED will be in theaters October 6

 

Epic Pictures’ searing human trafficking drama inspired by true events, TRAFFICKED, will have a prestigious red-carpet premiere and gala reception at the United Nations, hosted by the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), on October 5, followed by a limited theatrical release on October 6.

Simone Monasebian, the Director of the UNODC NY Office notes, “Human Trafficking is a multi-billion dollar business, its profits second only to drugs and arms, most of its victims women and girls, many of whom are forced into prostitution or otherwise exploited sexually. Art is a powerful advocacy tool to raise awareness and we have always used it to complement our work. We hope this dramatic and true-to-life film will move people to take action against the scourge of sex trafficking.”   

Starring Golden Globe nominee Ashley Judd, Academy Award nominee Anne Archer, Elisabeth Röhm, Kelly Washington, Sean Patrick Flanery, Madison Wolfe, and Patrick Duffy, TRAFFICKED explores the complex global crisis of human trafficking and is ultimately a story of the strength of the human spirit, the empowerment of women, and the indestructible will to be free.

Inspired by the harrowing stories of real women and girls profiled in the award-winning book Sex Trafficking: Inside the Business of Modern Slavery by Harvard Professor, Siddharth Kara, TRAFFICKED follows three young women from the United States, Nigeria, and India who are exploited as sex slaves yet ultimately reclaim their dignity and freedom.

TRAFFICKED is a crucial component of Kara’s anti-slavery work and is intended to be both a compelling film as well as a catalyst for more robust initiatives to tackle human trafficking and put an end to slavery and child labor. Kara has been researching, writing, teaching, and advocating against modern slavery for nearly two decades.

TRAFFICKED is a KK Ranch Production written by Siddharth Kara, inspired by his book Sex Trafficking and directed by Will Wallace. Producers are Conroy Kanter, Siddharth Kara, and Vicente Aldape. Executive Producers are Frank Mayor, Joe Dante, Elizabeth Stanley, and Adam Ambruso.

Amazon Prime Video brings The Tick & Lore to NYCC

Amazon Prime Video is sure to stir up excitement at this year’s New York Comic Con with two of their newest shows hitting the floor of the Javits Center. Enter The Tick and Lore – two cult favorites that will be brought to life in the epicenter of sci-fi fandom in a completely immersive way.
 


Amazon Prime Video made its first foray into the hero universe with The Tick this past summer, which subsequently took San Diego Comic-Con fans by storm. The Tick will be back in a big blue way for this year’s NYCC and is bringing his companion, Dangerboat, along for the ride.
 
Beginning on October 5th and running through October 8th, NYCC attendees will have the chance to immerse themselves in a completely explorable, larger-than-life cigarette vessel that will be built out on the convention’s main floor. Dangerboat, the opinionated sidekick and headquarters of The Tick’s Overkill, becomes a prominent meeting destination and character throughout the series storyline in both Season 1 and 2 of the popular original series. Guests will be delighted by hidden surprises within the experience, such as its ability to speak to the occupants themselves, customized promotional items that can be unlocked using their RFID wristbands, lighting affects, emergency alarms, and more. Attendees will depart Dangerboat feeling as if they’ve just stepped into the world of The Tick itself.
 
NYCC attendees and horror buffs seeking the ultimate Instagram photo will be thrilled by Amazon Prime Video’s Museum of Lore. In promotion of the new anthology series Lore, this unsettling, picture-perfect experience will take place in the North Concourse of the Javits Center. Inspired by one of the fastest-growing podcasts in the United States, Amazon Prime Video’s Lore activation will uncover some of the most haunting myths of all-time in the most “shareable” way. Guests will be taken through three rooms – “Gene’s Bedroom,” “The Unveiled,” and “The Beast Inside,” each of which will tell a different, blood curdling tale from Lore all while providing attendees with must-share photo opportunities.
 

Based on the podcast created by Aaron Mahnke and from Gale Anne Hurd, an Executive Producer of The Walking Dead and Glen Morgan, an Executive Producer of The X-Files, comes Lore, launching worldwide exclusively for Prime members on Amazon Prime Video on Friday the 13th of October.

 
Amazon Prime Video’s panel lineup for New York Comic Con features the highly-anticipated upcoming Prime member exclusive series Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, Lore and Philip K. Dick’s Electric Dreams, as well as returning favorites The Man in the High Castle and The Tick.
 
To top off their NYCC involvement, Amazon Prime Video will also be featuring the world’s first voice activated Echo Escape room powered by Intel, inspired by Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan.

 
About The Prime Exclusive Series, The Tick

Bursting with scabrous original storylines that turn on a dime, The Tick is a comedy with kinetic action, a wryly inventive visual style and crisply quotable dialogue. Heroes have flown among us for decades but mild-mannered accountant Arthur Everest (GRIFFIN NEWMAN) one day finds out there are also genuine bad guys in this new Amazon Original Series. He believes he has proof that The City, where he was born and raised, is actually controlled by a global super-villain known as the Terror (JACKIE EARLE HALEY). Destiny soon brings Arthur together with an eccentric, tall, blue-suited muscleman with a mysterious past and list of superpowers: The Tick (PETER SERAFINOWICZ). The title character serves as both the conscience and the unchecked id of the story. Citing the call of destiny, the Tick procures for Arthur a moth outfit with retractable wings and insists that he suit up as his sidekick. He and Arthur are the ultimate odd couple, but may just bring out the best in each other. In their quest to take back The City, the unlikely pair of heroes quickly sees just how complex the struggle between good and evil has become.
 
About The Prime Exclusive Series, Lore
 
Sometimes the scariest stories are true. Lore is based on the global, award-winning podcast sensation from creator Aaron Mahnke, and executive produced by Ben Silverman (The Office), Howard T. Owens (The Biggest Loser), Gale Anne Hurd (The Walking Dead), Brett-Patrick Jenkins (Face Off), Glen Morgan (X-Files), Jon Halperin and Mark Mannucci (A Year in Space). Lore brings the podcast to life and tells the real life origin stories that have led to our modern day myths and legends, including vampires, changelings, werewolves, séances and possessed dolls.

The Black Forest Panoramic Road offers Mesmerizing Views, a Gourmet Car Rally and a National Park

 

The Black Forest Panoramic Road is worth a visit for every nature lover. Located between the internationally renown spa town of Baden-Baden and the medieval Black Forest town of Freudenstadt, the Panoramic Road offers some of the best views in all of SouthWest Germany. With an altitude between 600 and 1,000 meters, the road crosses the Black Forest National Park and offers intermittent views of the Rhine Valley interspersed with clumps of deep, thick forest. At the Ruhestein Pass, it is highly recommended to make a delicious detour to the star-studded gourmet village of Baiersbronn where you can find gourmet meals in three Michelin restaurants as well as classic fare served up in creative ways with natural ingredients. From September 27 to September 30, the Baiersbronn Classic, an old timer classic car rally, will gear up for the fifth time with participants from all over Europe in some of the sleekest and fanciest vintage autos. Stops with gourmet food provide fuel to the fun and sustenance for the drivers roaring, twisting and turning along the beautiful Black Forest Panoramic Road.

Off the Beaten Path in Swabia: An Unexplored Corner of Europe: Beer, Baroque, Caves and Castles

Unique beer, extraordinary baroque churches and glorious castles – it is a road trip for visitors who enjoy history, natural beauty, culture and good beer. Visitors and drivers start and end in the “beer culture” city of Ehingen (think 43 beers and four breweries), only one hour and twenty minutes from Stuttgart and smack dab in the middle of the UNESCO biosphere area, the Schwäbische Alb. The ride takes you through the villages of Münsingen und Buttenhausen and past the romantic ruins of four fortresses in the Lauter Valley. The road continues along to the now famous, Wimsener Caves and then to the splendor of the Zwiefalten Cathedral. From there, drivers will follow the tour to a former settlement of Celts (Heuneburg) and an open air museum and then to the extraordinary baroque abbey at Zwiefalten. It is a grand panoramic tour that gives drivers and their passengers a beautiful look at an ancient and not well known corner of Europe. The baroque churches, the castles and ancient heritage combined with the beautiful rolling hills and the merry hospitality of Ehingen create an unforgettable trip for history and culture buffs. All together the drives is about 70 miles from start to finish.

Driving the Castle and Garden Routes of SouthWest Germany

Taking in the castles and gardens of Baden-Württemberg is going back in time to experience worlds of glorious art, architecture, collections of porcelain, tapestries, statuary and acres of elaborate gardens. The Staatliche Schlösser & Gärten (SSG), the state heritage preservation agency for the state of Baden-Württemberg, or SouthWest Germany, preserves, protects, develops and maintains 60 historic monuments, including famous places such as Heidelberg Palace in the north but also lesser known gems, such as Weikersheim Palace in the northeast, or the luxurious Salem Monastery and Palace on the Lake Constance in the south. As these beautiful castles and gardens span the state of SouthWest Germany in all directions, driving is one of the best ways to get to many of them in one week’s vacation. There are many routes that one can take from north to south, west to east and reverse. The Castle Road in the north has over 15 castles and palaces of the SSG and have survived the vicissitudes of history. They stand today as reminders of emperors, kings and princes, of poets and thinkers, robber knights and romantic tales of chivalry. Some provide a colorful backdrop for open-air theater and concerts, for medieval banquets and historical markets. Others are still lived in by the aristocratic descendants of their former owners or their respectable middle-class successors and are partially open to visitors.

Driving the Württemberg Wine Route from Stuttgart to Heilbronn 

Winding its way in and around the capital city of Stuttgart and the town of Heilbronn, the Württemberg wine route passes through hill and dale planted with vineyards and orchards. In contrast to most of the rest of Germany, the Württemberg wine region is known for red wines, including the little known Trollinger, Schwarzriesling (referred to also as Müllerrebe or Pinot Meunier), Lemberger along with a bit of Spätburgunder, Dornfelder and Portugieser. The wine is light and mostly fruity. Riesling is also an important variety in Württemberg, accounting for nearly a quarter of the vineyard area.. An unusual characteristic of the wine industry in SouthWest Germany is the number of co-ops. About three-quarters of the vineyards are tended by farmers or locals, and the same families have done so for over 100 years. The rest are private estates, often owned by members of the aristocratic Baden and Württemberg families. Another wonderful characteristic are the “Besens.” These are special seasonal wine pubs or taverns where visitors can drink the local wines from the fields and try homemade dishes. The name Besen actually means broom – and a broom at the door is a sign that the pub is open for business. As the crow flies, you can drive the countryside between Stuttgart and Heilbronn in one hour, but it is better to take your time and organize tours and winery visits and rent a wide selection of apartments and guest rooms.

POWERS RELEASE VISUALIZER FOR “JUST KIDS”


POWERS RELEASE VISUALIZER FOR “JUST KIDS”

(New York, NY)-Critically acclaimed alt-pop duo POWERS—Mike Del Rio and Crista Ru—share the visualizer for their single “Just Kids” today. Check out the visualizer here!

An unshakable and unpredictable anthem of youth, “Just Kids” segues from a verse highlighting Crista’s delicate crooning into a tropical house-style drop and chantable hook. It’s the latest track to be released from the group after a string of unforgettable tracks released in 2017 including “Closer,” “Man On The Moon,” “Heavy” and “Dance.”

About the song, POWERS commented, “We were both still living in New York at the time, carving out our own existence with each other and the city when the initial seed of the song started. “Just Kids” was partially inspired after reading Patti Smith’s book of the same title and going through our own journey as Patti did in the 70’s. There’s something about undressing someone, figuratively- and in reality, that can feel so playful and eternal. Creativity and connection are what keep us taller children after all and we wanted to write a song about that.”
ABOUT POWERS:
POWERS is Mike Del Rio and Crista Ru. If you haven’t heard their names, rest assured, you’ve heard their tunes. After Del Rio inked a publishing deal with Alex Da Kid (Rihanna, Imagine Dragons), his eclectic writing and productions started popping up on TVs, playlists and radios everywhere. Working with top artists such as The Chainsmokers and Kylie Minogue, Del Rio most recently made waves by producing the international hit “Lost on You” by LP, the anthemic “Jungle” for X Ambassadors[feat. Jamie N Commons & Jay-Z] and executive producing The Knocks’ So Classic EP (on which POWERS wrote and featured on the title track “Classic”). On the flip side of this creative powerhouse is songwriter and bassist Crista Ru. Aside from lending her distinct vocals and unique top lining to POWERS, her credits read like a “who’s who” of the recent pop landscape . From penning the lead tune from Selena Gomez’s Stars Dance album to working with Swedish duo Icona Pop, Ms. Ru has a poignant knack as an artistic muse and a searing-­hot songstress, stirring the two together to push forward the sound of alternative pop. Previously in 2016, their infectious romper, “Beat of My Drum” shot up to the top of the Spotify Global Viral Chart and was featured as a lead song on campaigns for Garnier & Sprint. Following up with an equally impactful “Loved by You” and “Sunshine,” the band has reached over 60 million cumulative streams on Spotify, topped Hype Machine several times and received the coveted Emerging Artists Spotlight on iTunes.

Jean Grey Returns To The Marvel Universe In PHOENIX RESURRECTION

Jean Grey Returns To The Marvel Universe In PHOENIX RESURRECTION!Adult Jean Grey rises again!
                                                                                                              
When Jean Grey died heroically in Grant Morrison’s epic run of NEW X-MEN, she left a void among her mutant family – and in the world. For over a decade, the X-Men have lived with the fact that Jean Grey is no longer with them as a team member and a friend – and now, this winter, adult Jean Grey will live again, in a return fans have been demanding for years.
 
Marvel is excited to announce the official return of adult Jean Grey in PHOENIX RESURRECTION, with a story by newly exclusive writer Matthew Rosenberg (Secret Warriors, Punisher) and art by superstar artist Leinil Yu (Secret Empire). As a true celebration of the character’s power and iconic status, the five-issue epic will also include five blockbuster artists taking on Jean Grey throughout the run, as well as Phoenix Variant covers that will begin in December.

 
“Matt came to us with a really interesting and unique approach to bringing Jean back,” said senior editor Mark Paniccia. “It’s not what we expected, and plays to Matt’s biggest strengths as a storyteller. This is very cool mystery building to a mind-warping climax. And it has plenty of what you’d expect from an X-MEN epic of this magnitude. Action, romance, sacrifice, lots of X-Men and five great artists.”
 
Strange events are no surprise to the X-Men, but when events start occurring that are more specific and strange than usual, the group is forced to confront the truth: could Jean be alive after all? And how will this Jean Grey deal with a world that is now so different from the one she left years ago?
 
“It’s such a mind-blowing honor to bring back the original Jean Grey,” said series writer Matthew Rosenberg. “I’ve been an X-Men fan my whole life and Jean is, in my mind, the true soul of the X-Men. So we aren’t taking this lightly. We’re going for that perfect balance of universe shaking epic and intimate personal drama that only the X-Men ever truly achieve. This is all hands on deck for the X-Men as every available member heads into battle for the soul of their team and maybe even the fate of the Marvel Universe.”

 
“This is just the beginning,” teased Paniccia. “Something this big will leave quite a footprint on the Marvel Universe. Jean will have a startling new role after this, and you’re left wondering, how will the rest of the X-Men respond? What will happen to young Jean Grey?”
