Town Thizznessﾒ youngest member Sleepy D is gearing up to release his upcoming debut album, ﾓSleepy Deprivation,ﾔ in stores on April 20th. ﾓSleepy Deprivationﾔ is a gritty and honest examination of life on the harsh streets of his hometown, and is a direct reflection of Oaklandﾒs longtime runner-up status for Murder Rate Capital in the US.
ﾓSleepy Deprivationﾔ 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 ﾓSleepy Fucking Dﾔ on his MySpace page.
The popularity of ﾓSleepy Fucking Dﾔ can be found in the scores of YouTube videos featuring kids turfinﾒ and jerkinﾒ ﾖ some popular dance moves – to the song. Town Thizzness is capitalizing on the rapperﾒs involvement with the dance craze by hosting a Turfinﾒ Nﾒ Jerkinﾒ contest in conjuction with Dubcnn.com and SMC Recordings.
Both turfinﾒ and jerkinﾒ 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 ﾓSleepy Deprivation.ﾔ
Kicking off on April 14th and ending on April 30th, contestants will submit videos online of themselves either turfinﾒ or jerkinﾒ to a Sleepy D song.

– Sleepy D Signed Album
