Jihad Is Back With New Music & Busy Schedule For 2009 - By : Rud - February 7, 2009



Its been a six month hiatus on Dubcnn for the Cerritos, CA up and comer Jihad who has so far released two street albums 2007s "Death Before Dishonor" mixtape with DJ Warrior and DJ Nutty which received widespread acclaim, coverage on Dubcnn & The Source and a spot on MTV's Mixtape Mondays and of course 2008s 93 Fly project that was made available on our very own Digital Distribution Network for free.

We have quite an update to get you back up to speed on Jihad with an array of news and of course - new music! First up is the news that Jihad makes an apprearance on DJ Green Lantern's latest mixtape "Monster Mash Part 3" with a track entitled "You Dont Wanna Play" produced by Abstract Minds. This feature was thanks to his earlier inclusion on DJ Green Lanterns "MySpace Invasion 4" mixtape, which had 30,000 copies pressed and was distributed throughout the Rock The Bells Tour and Nas "Jones Experience" Tour.

We have the track below for stream/download - check it out and if you feeling it make sure you drop him a vote on the releases official contest page.

Away from music Jihad has a supporting role in an independent movie called "Hype", which is being filmed by French Movie Director, Kader Ayd. "Hype" will be premiering at The Cannes Festival in France, around May 2009. Subsequently, it will be given a worldwide release date for theaters. The film also features various A-list actors plus West Coast artists - including Bishop Lamont and we have word that it is being backed by a well known and respected record label.

In terms of recent press Jihad had a good run during 2008 which included a feature on the cover of LOUD Magazine in Dubai, UAE for the month of June 2008 - view the cover here, a feature in an article for Abu Dhabi, UAE newspaper, "The National" and he was also interviewed for the "Salaam Show" for Dubai Eye Radio 103.8FM. He has also been interviewed and will be featured on MTV Arabia's "Artist Spotlight".

More recently Jihad completed a promo video for "Aim Films" and is sponsored by clothing companies Foreign Family & Bad Company aka BadCo. In 2009, he'll began his official blog with popular streetwear store "Attic", at their official website.

As if all that wasnt enough Jihad has also had two tracks featured on the MTV skateboarding piece "Best of the Best". His MTV connections have led him to pitch a reality show to MTV Arabia, MTV (New York) and many other channels, documenting his career and creative process of completing a new album out in Dubai, UAE. He is also co-producing a documentary based on The Middle East Hip-Hop Scene and many of it's established and upcoming artists.

Returning to the music Jihad has recently started shooting his first music video for his upcoming street single "Eazy" which will be premiering on MTV Arabia and various video channels in the Middle East & Europe, before making it's debut on MTV in the States. Once this is out you can expect to see his first official single with Grammy nominated and platinum selling producer, Big 4D, most notably known for his work with T.I., Macy Gray and Xzibit.

He also plans to release a slew of new music, the first of which is a compilation mixtape with various signed and major label artists titled, "DJ Evil Empire & Rebellion Records Presents Unity Vol. 1 (Hosted by Jihad)", followed by his very own new mixtape/street album, "DJ Skee Presents: Jihad - Ruled By Shadows", which will lead into his major release of his mixtape/street album with DJ Drama and DJ Don Cannon in the 2nd quarter of 2009.

We have two tracks now, both of which are set to appear on the aforementioned "DJ Evil Empire & Rebellion Records Presents Unity Vol. 1 (Hosted by Jihad)", the first is a freestyle entitled "Arab Money" - which is over the recent Busta Rhymes single of the same name. This track recently had airplay on BBC Radio in the UK, out on Australian Radio and on Radio in Dubai, UAE.
