Underground phenom Mad Dukez signs to DTR

DTR is playing cupid this Valentine's Day and introducing an artist so refreshingly amazing - you're sure to fall in love on first listen. We are very proud to announce the latest addition to our talent roster: Mad Dukez.

Mad Dukez, aka Mamudu Kargbo, may be an unfamiliar name outside of the Empire State's underground circuit, but this young hip hop star is rising fast and shining bright, right out of the gate. With super natural ability, a diligent work ethic, and humble personality; combined with a plethora of releases and tour dates already slated for 2012 - not to mention an entire region behind him - Dukez is set to skyrocket toward national acclaim faster than you can say underground sensation. He greets challenges with a smile and has an uncanny way of turning everyday experiences into tales of love, betrayal and good ‘ol Tom Foolery. Dukez asserts, "It's really about awkward views and unusual experiences... those moments are priceless".

We're excited, and we think you will be too; so be sure to check for Mad Dukez. You'll quickly learn why he's soon to be on everyone's playlist, from Cupid to Al Capone.

Being B.I.G. : A Benefit for the Fight Against Leukemia & Lymphoma

After Dark Entertainment and DTR45 are proud to announce the first in a series of events coming to Buffalo this spring, "BEING B.I.G." "

BEING B.I.G.", a tribute to the late great Notorious B.I.G., will feature Buffalo-bred artists performing songs from Biggie Smalls' legendary discography. "BEING B.I.G." happens Friday, March 9th at Duke's Bohemian Grove Bar (253 Allen St.), on the anniversary of Notorious' untimely death.

The tribute night has a greater meaning though - to raise awareness for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. The night is the brainchild of Damon Bodine - concert promoter, staple in the Buffalo music scene, and Hodgkins Lymphoma survivor. 100% of proceeds from the event will help fund Damon's participation in the NYC Half Marathon this March as part of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training.

Friday, March 9th. Doors open at 10pm, $5 cover. For more information on "Being B.I.G.", visit www.afterdarkpresents.com or www.dtr45.com. To learn more about Team In Training and Damon's mission, visit www.teamintraining.org and www.liveforacure.com
