MAKE IT REIGN
In EveryGhetto, USA, hip-hop is the soundtrack of young Black America.
However, hip-hop’s true birthplace, “Da Boogie Down Bronx,” has been
shortchanged for too long on the rap anthem tip. Getting ready to set the record
right, enter hard edged Codeine/Columbia Records rap duo Lord Tariq &
Peter Gunz. Their certified smash hit single, “Déjà Vu (Uptown Baby)”
from Make It Reign, the pair’s debut albumhas become a Bronx battle cry
heard around the world and played around the clock. Indeed, on the landscape
of famous urban turf defining phrases like “Brooklyn’s in da house” and
"Money-earnin’ Mount Vernon,” “Déjà Vu (Uptown Baby)” is now the
official Bronx street speak contribution to urban America’s large-and-in
charge lexicon.
Keeping the hard core hip-hop flavor flowing, more future shocks to the
entertainment system are ready to roll from this powerful pair of Boogie down
Bronx-inspired MCs. Imminent are more chart topping hits, a possible feature
film (they’re writing a phat screenplay), major concert tours, separate solo
albums, and the presentation of new artists signed to theirCodeine/Columbia
label. In a classic case of “Déjà Vu” all over again. Lord Tariq & Peter Gunz
are takin’ hip-hop back to where it all started—"Uptown Baby.”
