Rock/Hip Hop Icon Darryl "DMC" McDaniels wants your "ATTENTION PLEASE!"

Legendary Run-DMC co-founder teams with NCIS' Pauley Perrette to bring "Attention Please!" to multiple causes with "double sided" digital single

NEW YORK, Nov. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The much revered and respected, multi-platinum recording artist Darryl "DMC" McDaniels has released a "double sided" single, "Attention Please!" / "Rock Solid" from his upcoming album entitled Rock Solid .  The song "Attention Please!" features Pauley Perrette , rock singer and star of the TV show NCIS - recently voted the #1 most popular star on primetime television.  Produced by Mike 13, "Attention Please" showcases DMC's iconic powerhouse rap interspersed with Perrette's smoky vocal hooks. The song tells viewers to "do something please" – an action packed explosion of Hip Hop and Rock positivity and passionate testament to the many nonprofit causes that both McDaniels and Perrette hold close to their hearts, including advocating for the rights of children in foster care and promoting adoption.

McDaniels and Perrette met last year and immediately bonded. "Working with Pauley P," says McDaniels, "is like working with Joan Jett, Janis Joplin, Sarah McLachlan and Sheryl Crow with a splash of John Lennon!" Adds Perrette, "As a longtime fan of the legend DMC, it was outstanding to collaborate on such a hot song with such an amazing guy that I am now very proud to call a friend."

The flip side of the single is "Rock Solid" – a high energy rock/rap track produced by Jared Lee Gosselin(India.Arie, Matt Sorum, Floetry, Macy Gray) who DMC calls "a Rock n' Roll God with production and song arrangement skills out of this world!" The two met when they collaborated on a cover of Frank Zappa's "Willie the Pimp" in honor of Zappa's birthday last year.  Both new tracks have corresponding videos out this week.  "Rock Solid" directed by DMC http://youtu.be/wiDIQQ4sopM, and "Attention Please" directed by Bryan Olinger http://youtu.be/r5DtnTqdhZw.

DMC is a 2009 inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and has sold over 25 million records worldwide. He has won several awards for his philanthropic efforts including the coveted Children's Rights Award . McDaniel's VH1 documented story of his search for his birth mother, entitled DMC: My Adoption Journey won an Emmy Award in 2007.

Kali Muscle Exposed: The Other Side

There are so many battles being fought in our society for righteousness. It is extremely saddening when you look into the core of these battles only to find hate and fear.   Yesterday, the bodybuilding community went into an internet frenzy regarding actor, bodybuilder, author and entrepreneur Kali Muscle for being “exposed” for Gay for Pay .   Gay for pay turned into Kali being actually gay according to what I saw. I began to read messages, blog posts and watch the videos that made statements such as people calling him a “butt pirate” or saying”Kali is gay. He is a disgrace to the bodybuilding world.” Oh and let’s not forget enormous amount of “F” bombs that were stamped all across the internet. Homophobic….. Is this really how the bodybuilding community wants to be seen? Kali is a friend and colleague of mine. We have worked together professionally and he has changed my life partner/wife, Bea’s and my life personally.   I met him and his lovely wife singer and entrepreneur

Poem: "The Mask I Wear"

Image
I am in the process of this journey of fully coming into who I am inside and out! I was taking a life design course and my world renowned coach, Dr. Ray Blanchard read this poem below. I have always thought I was my true authentic self, however, after hearing this poem and then reading it several times, I have come to realize that I have neglected ME in the process of being a giver and a nurturer to others. So I am removing the mask and seeing and loving me. Growing and learning in the process. Hope you remove yours as well. I would love to see YOU!!! I am the other you. You are the other me:) THE MASK I WEAR Don't be fooled by me. Don't be fooled by the face I wear   for I wear a mask. I wear a thousand masks-      masks that I'm afraid to take off   and none of them are me. Pretending is an art that's second nature with me But don't be fooled, for God's sake, don't be fooled.
