    ABOUT BOSTON MUSIC - There are thousands of Boston musicians in the city struggling to make it. They make good music anyway on the way up. But, some have the luxury of a CPA, lawyer and manager of their profitable music business enterprises.

    In Boston, the home studio market continues its spiraling incline! Corporate and privately held media publishers advertise heavily with big dollars. MySpace plays a role. The in-town stores CD SPINS (closed some stores), CheaPo Records, Funky Fresh Records, Newbury Comics, Skippy White's, the UnderGround Hip Hop store, and mall shops compete for sales with the iTunes music store, Best Buy and Circuit City. They all target Boston music lovers who want virus free tracks LimeWire can not Guarantee.

    OH YEAH - there is a big "tween market" here! To enage them, U gotta compete against Disney music export! Boston club owners and indie promoters love this town. But, they also know you might may want to do their open dates for little to no money.

    Oh, well. In Boston, twenty-six Boston neighborhoods birth music art and genius. This is the Black Boston music scene. It serves two hundred fifty thousand college students, six hundred thousand residents, and everybody else anywhere in hearing range. That right! Boston music artists provide a whole lot of pleasure.

    About N.W.A. - History -

    (Niggaz With Attitude) - was a Compton, California-based hip hop group widely considered one of the seminal acts of the gangsta rap sub-genre. Active from 1986 to 1991, the group endured controversy due to the explicit, violent, and often misogynistic nature of their lyrics.

    They were subsequently banned from many mainstream U.S. radio stations and even at times prevented from touring - yet the group has still sold over 9 million units in the U.S. alone. Their second album, Straight Outta Compton, marked the beginning of the new gangsta rap era as the production and the social commentary in their lyrics were revolutionary within the genre.

    Rolling Stone MAGAZINE ranked N.W.A. eighty-third on their list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time". Although largely unknowns at the group's inception, rappers Eazy-E, Ice Cube, Dr. Dre and MC Ren would all go on to be platinum-selling stars in their own right, retroactively making N.W.A hip hop's first supergroup. http://www.last.fm/music/N.W.A.
