| What’s up all you Freestyle heads? I’m back
with the 411 on the COMMUNITY REPORT, and like I mentioned to you on the last issue we are
finally starting to see more and more releases that are worth focusing on. We are starting
to see a trend of producers and artists that are taking the genre seriously. This is a
positive step into the development of a genre that has been push aside from the airwaves
by radio land; because of it’s lost of mass appeal.
Thanks to the Freestyle Music Community their support has never died for the music.
This eventually has been paying off because of the dedication that we are now starting to
see once again from the industry, labels and it's artist. In addition, the community has come to realize that evolution is the key to the genres survival. And that everything has a root or foundation, here being Latin Hip Hop. “The mother of our rock.” So without further a due lets begin with the jams for the next quarter.

Additional production is brought to you by William "Eye 2 Eye" Rivera. We can't go out without mentioning the strong vocal performance from this 16 year old native New Yorker. Krystal's passion for music started since the tender age of 2 and at the age of 12 has embarked on a professional singing career- singing background vocals for High Power Records premiere artists. " Loving Arms" is just the beginning for Krystal as she is completing her new album, a mix of salsa and various up tempo songs that are sure to be crossover hits. *****5-Stars |

| Another Freestyle, Dance music sensation that is breaking through the charts is Linda Low. " She has been a staple of the San Francisco local entertainment industry for two years." Her latest single, Dancing In My Heart, (on Certified Music) currently enjoys a Top Ten position in sales at San Francisco's Tower records and is climbing the sales charts at other locations. The single contains 6 mixes, a combination of house, pop and Freestyle driven beats. My favorite is the Original Mix, a sweet Electro driven sound with a crisp, energetic pop style vocal performance.

Kenny Moultan a.k.a Kenny Freestyle releases his new
album "Baby It's You" on Hit Factory Records. A 15 track complete album with a
taste of all Freestyle sounds. My favorite track is the the debut "Baby It's You. A
Spandu Ballet sampled melody, driven with Electro-planet bass beats and a smooth vocal
style performance, gives this track a unique flare that should grab the attention of the
Freestyle music purist and collector. Other tracks that also got my attention in the Freestyle format "Tonight Is The Night" (Electro Stevie B type sound) "Wanna Be Your Lover Tonight" (a west coast Angelique/Jocelyn Enriquez acidic sound) "Empty Memories"( combination of the Miami track Security, with a High Power Reinaldo vocal arrangement), plus many more other songs that are worth checking out.
