SHAWTY PUTT INKS DEAL WITH RAZOR & TIE ENTERTAINMENT WORLDWIDE VIA LIL JON’S BME RECORDINGS
Atlanta native Shawty Putt has signed a deal with Razor & Tie Entertainment via Lil Jon’s BME Recordings label. The exclusive worldwide multi-album agreement will jumpstart with promotions for the Lil Jon-produced buzz single “"Dat Baby (Don't Look Like Me)," which also features rapper Too $hort. Though the official add date at Crossover radio was July 15h and Urban radio is set for July 22nd, the song has already charted on the Billboard Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Singles chart peaking at #5. It continues to climb the R&R charts with over 43 million in audience.; key stations include WLLD/Tampa, KMEL/San Francisco and WZMX/Hartford. The song just became available for purchase on all digital services on July 1st.
“Putt is one of the few artists that gets it,” explains Lil Jon. “He understands every aspect of this business. I have a lot of respect for him and I’m glad he is getting his chance to show the world what he can do!” “Dat Baby” takes its inspiration from the daytime talk show “The Maury Povich Show.” The humorous viral video has had more than 1 million views on YouTube and over 75,000 plays on Shawty Putt's MySpace page. In August Razor & Tie and BME Recordings will release a new video for “Dat Baby” directed by Dale 'Rage' Restighini (Gym Class Heroes, DMX, Soulja Boy). Shawty Putt is currently in the studio recording his debut album to be produced by Lil Jon; the album is scheduled for release this fall.
Razor & Tie and BME Recordings will be jointly responsible for marketing and promotions. Razor & Tie will also handle distribution of the single and forthcoming album. "We are looking forward to building upon the great momentum Lil Jon and BME Recordings has set forth for Shawty Putt. Our combined resources will serve to broaden visibility," commented Razor & Tie Executive Vice President, Business/Legal Affairs Dan Hoffman.
Shawty Putt was an original member of the famed Atlanta Attic Crew. Along with Lil Jon, Shawty Putt has worked with Lil Scrappy, The Youngbloodz and producer Polow da Don. He is featured on each of the Youngbloodz records and has toured with them.
