Earwax Records recently participated with SMKA and the ATL 808 Experiment Volume 1. This music compilation set out to expose and showcase ATL underground Hip Hop artists, both natives and transplants.

Anyone that knows Jasz and the Earwax 16 year story, knows that we have touched the musical careers of most of the well known artists who have come out of Atlanta. Earwax was Hip Hop before Hip Hop was ATL cool! Since our opening day we have been breaking local artists and giving them and DJs a retail platform. So, when we were approached about getting involved with this compilation, there was no hesitation as it was a marketing idea that was long overdue! Now, months, thousands of downloads and accolades later, we are planning volume 2.

So, if you are a Hip Hop artist and live in Atlanta, here’s your chance to submit your music to be considered for Volume 2. What are we looking for? Nothing and everything in particular, you might want to download the free copy of volume 1 to get a feel. We would like to think that we have a good mix and variety on volume 1.

Send your best selection to us at earwaxrecords[at]gmail.com. We prefer to receive a link to your online song. If you must, you can send the mp3 to the above address. In the subject line please include “808 Project 2″. Please include your contact information.

We were pleased with our press coverage for volume 1 and plan to grow the exposure for volume 2. You can read the Creative Loafing write up here @ Creative Loafing. You can pick up the FREE download of volume 1 here. Any media that would like to get involved with us can contact us here on the blog or above email address.

Future plans include a compilation for R&B, POP, Country & Gospel. . . Stay Tuned!
