EVENT HISTORY: Philly Jam
Liberty City Records created
Philly Jam in 2005, to provide
upcoming talent with a large
concert style platform to get
exposure in their target
market and to better unify the
artists. Philly Jam became
the most popular independent
concert in the area. The first
year Liberty City welcomed
2,800 patrons with street
promotions only!
Now in its 4th year with over
2,500 attendees each year,
Philly Jam is ready to rock!
“Brotherly Love” is the
blueprint of unity, which is
thought to be lost due to
the lack there of in hopes
of being restored in this
beautiful city of
Philadelphia. This event
will bond our community,
artists and the businesses
that provide services to
the city and surrounding
areas. With this theme in
mind your company will be
presented with an
authentic opportunity to
show your support and the
genuine interest in the
lives of the people of this
great metropolis.
The New Culture of Music & Marketing In the new age of
business, innovative
marketing procedures are
essential for a company to
continue to prosper. With the
entertainment industry
swinging into a new mode of
selling products, major
companies such as HBO,
Nike, and Cadillac have
capitalized on this new
venture. The Hip-Hop
industry alone is generating
over 60 billion a year in
revenue. Such examples of
this ever flourishing industry
are hip-hop artist “Common”.
In an exclusive partnership
with Lincoln Navigator,
“Common” appeared in
nationally televised
broadcasts, also radio and
print advertisements which
debuted nationwide during
the November 25th, 2007
NFL Sunday Night Football
on NBC, later to appear on
general market and urban
schedules. Companies such
as Pepsi have launched their
own entertainment online
communities and like other
popular soft drinks have branded
performing artists. The rise of brands in
popular music is directly tied to the rise of
hip-hop and its’ achievements which
harnesses pop culture to hone brand
images. The trend of association of
product by entertainers has become a
major selling point in magazines,
television commercials, radio ads,
billboards, and events everywhere in the
world. Nevertheless, a new style has
emerged in the music industry as more
independent record labels and
entertainment companies are growing in
popularity and revenue.

LIBERTY CITY RECORDS
Hug-n-dablock Entertainment
Liberty City Records was
established in 2005 by Tramar
Roberts aka Montana Blak. As an
artist himself, he wanted the freedom
to records and create songs with out
limitations. Conventional labels have
a lot of power over what an artists
releases and sometimes even what
they record. Quite honestly most of
them have stayed away from the core
and purpose behind hip-hop and its
culture.
Tramar structured Liberty City
Records to allow artists the freedom
they need to create good music. The
roster of artists stretches from reality
hip-hop to grimy street rap, with out
forgetting the smooth sounds of R&B.
Each artist adds a unique flavor and is
an essential asset to the team.
There is way more to this indie label
then recording and releasing DVD’s,
CD’s, and Mix Tapes. LCC Family
hosts several networking events and
night life parties throughout the year,
not to mention they sponsor several
community events annually.
As a company Liberty City Records
makes a point to give back to
communities and support the Stop
The Violence movement here in
Philadelphia
Montana Blak
The Authentic
“Mawlie Blakwell”.
"The Authentic" known for his swagger dipped in reality and unspoken message of people just being themselves. "The Authentic" with singles on underground and Internet radio stations from New York to the UK and currently touring through Tri-State for his current release "Reality of it all" Mixtape and his upcoming album "Life and Liberty" on Liberty City Records
A native of New Jersey now residing in Philadelphia, “The Authentic” represents a unique balance of the streets and their reality. He has an extremely sharp confident flow coupled with his own style that catches fans on all levels.
Headlining this years event
will be Montana Blak with his recent release of "Where's
the Check" pt.2 going on
3,000 sales in 3 weeks. On his
fourth album release and sixth
mix tape release, Montana Blak is very in-tune with the residents of Philly. He stays
active on stage throughout
Philadelphia and the
surrounding areas. Coming
from the inner city and a
poverty stricken household he
has many outreach events
regarding the artist and the
youth of the community. He
feels giving back through
music has a positive effect.
As an artist Montana is an
extremely talented emcee. He
draws from his life
experiences to create real
hip-hop. His unique rapper
swagger expresses
individuality as well as his
diverse lyrics. Being an
emcee is simply not
having the ability to put
words on paper but is
having the diversity to
constantly reinvent
yourself as a hip-hop
lyricist.
Montana Blak does this
every time he touches the
microphone or hits the
stage. He delivers
unstoppable energy and
spits with a precise flow.
He currently has
numerous hits being
played on internet radio
stations from Philadelphia
and all over Europe and
Asia.
Along with these explosive acts: well-known big event DJ Truff will hit the turntables and local artists such as Associated, Eternal Life, the R&B beast Fortae, Street Spitta’s own Big Lou, Dreams to Reality’s R-Dot, and Hustler Music’s Smitty Blanco will provide the proper performance and hype to make this year a classic. With your assistance through a sponsorship we plan on doing just that.
