Buffalo, NY
DTR45 announced on 10.30.08 the signing of Buffalo-based hip hop trio Fresh Guac to a recording agreement. A multi-cultural, high profile group, Fresh Guac consists of: DJ Optimus Prime (Mohammed Furqan), Cove (Joseph Vasquez) and Cav Johnson (Richard Panaro). They recently performed at The Art of Hip Hop 3 and earlier this year were finalists in Artvoice's Battle of Original Music contest. They were also the second hip hop group, behind label mate Edreys, to play the esteemed WBFO Wed. Night Concert Series 11.05.08. Group front-man Cav Johnson noted "This really gives us an opportunity to spread our wings and formulate a comprehensive effort". Label executives Tony Caferro and Edreys Wajed cited the group's truly original style as well as the impact these gentlemen have had on the community and art form as reasons for the roster addition.
Next up is the Rebel Radio Community Jam held @ Broadway Joe's 12.27.08, a free event showcasing more than a dozen of the featured acts on the double-compilation. The concert will be held at Broadway Joe's, starting at 9pm and is free of charge. Attending patrons are asked to bring either a canned food donation for the Food Bank of WNY, or make a small monetary donation at the door to the aforementioned non-profit community groups. Free copies of Rebel Radio 4 and 5 will be made available at both events.
