Los Angeles, CA, November 16, 2012:

Spyder D and Hip-Hop God Chuck D first met at a college radio station while Spyder D was doing an on air interview. Spyder D was impressed with the young Chuck D, even before he became the iconic leader of one of the most important Hip-Hop bands of all time. Now, their 30 year relationship has come full circle as Spyder D brings his pioneering recording label over to Chuck D’s SPIT digital, for distribution (www.spitdigital.com).

“Chuck has been a leader in the field of internet promotion/marketing for independent artists for a very long time. From his Rapstation.com to SPIT Digital, Chuck has been clearing a path for independent and/or disenfranchised artists, and given them a platform to shine”, stated Spyder D (Born Sidney Duane Hughes). “I began my career by taking a “dive in head first” crash course in the music business, and have been very blessed to have met some extremely supportive and influential individuals. I would have to count Chuck D at the top of the list. He has remained the same grounded individual throughout his rise to super stardom”, recalled a grateful Spyder D.

The debut song in this digital distribution deal will be “In Case You Didn’t Know” a song Spyder D had written, intending it to be his fair well to Hip-Hop , as he begins to concentrate solely on running his Newtroit label. (The label that made him the first rap artist to successfully launch his own label with the release of the now classic 1980 release, “Big Apple Rappin’”). This track is being co-produced and mixed by Grammy Award winning engineer/producer Anton Pukshansky in Los Angeles. A DJ remix contest will be announced on www.spyderd.com once all the other guest artists vocals have been recorded for remix. Main Source legend Mikey D (“White Men Can’t Jump soundtrack) is the latest to sign on besides Chuck D. Release date of the single is scheduled for November 27th , as lead single for the 2013 album release tentatively titled, “Spyder D’s Greatest Skits”. The DJ remix contest winner will appear on the album and win a record deal with Newtroit Records.
