DUBCNN, SMC Records & Sleepy D Present The Turfin' & Jerkin' Contest
Town Thizzness’ youngest member Sleepy D is gearing up to release his upcoming debut album, “Sleepy Deprivation,” in stores on April 20th. “Sleepy Deprivation” is a gritty and honest examination of life on the harsh streets of his hometown, and is a direct reflection of Oakland’s longtime runner-up status for Murder Rate Capital in the US.
"Sleepy Deprivation” will also include guest appearances by notable Bay Area artists Mistah F.A.B., and D-Lo, among others. Though the album will be his first, the young rapper has already made a name for himself in the Bay Area.
Sleepy D has cultivated an impressive web presence, with over 500,000 views on YouTube and over 500,000 plays of his single “Sleepy Fucking D” on his MySpace page.
The popularity of “Sleepy Fucking D” can be found in the scores of YouTube videos featuring kids turfin’ and jerkin’ – some popular dance moves - to the song. Town Thizzness is capitalizing on the rapper’s involvement with the dance craze by hosting a Turfin’ N’ Jerkin’ contest in conjuction with Dubcnn.com and SMC Recordings.
Both turfin’ and jerkin’ have become highly recognizable dances in Northern and Southern California respectively, and the contest will bring even more exposure, while at the same time promoting “Sleepy Deprivation.” Kicking off on April 14th and ending on April 30th, contestants will submit videos online of themselves either turfin’ or jerkin’ to a Sleepy D song.
1. All submissions must go through the Town Thizzness group “Sleepy D’s Turfin’ vs. Jerkin’ Contest” or they will not be accounted for.
2. Contest starts on April 5, 2010 and ends on April 30, 2010.
3. All videos must be no shorter than 30 seconds and no longer than 5 minutes.
