Since Kokayi is like a five-year-old who can’t sit still when it comes to his music, it’s not a surprise that he is releasing R3TS&DNSR5 RE1MAG1NED, a remix EP based on his critically acclaimed album, Robots & Dinosaurs. The Washington D.C.-based artist has already dropped two of the remixes as singles, the “Chanticleer (Moombahton Remix)” by CamJus and “RoxTar Remix (ft. Substantial)” by DJ Roddy Rod, but was motivated to put out an entire remix EP by his branding team at The General Store Inc. “The two remixes from CamJus and DJ Roddy Rod acted as a catalyst,” says Kokayi. “It was suggested that I get some club DJs and dope producers to remix the entire record. So, I reached out to my friends and asked them to contribute. They all agreed, I loved that idea, and so we ran with it.”

The contributing producers and DJs not only got to rework Kokayi’s inherently catchy tunes, but they also got to choose which songs they wanted to toy with. “I actually didn’t decide who remixed each song, I just sent a link to the dropbox that had the acapellas in them and said pick whatever you want,” says Kokayi. “As each song got snatched up, I’d send an update. Each person that I contacted was someone I respect and is very dope with their craft.” Only two of the remixers were new acquaintances for Kokayi: Billy The Gent, who was recommended to him by his friend Tittsworth, and Man Mantis, who Kokayi contacted after hearing his Sea Ambulances EP. Although R3TS&DNSR5 RE1MAG1NED is a free EP that includes a generous ten tracks, there are some remixes that didn’t make the cut. “I wanted remixes for every song on R&D, but there are folks that didn’t make it due to scheduling,” says Kokayi. “There’s a dope Arsonal remix of “Drive” that is bananas, but it was in too late. So, that’s more incentive to get the rest ready for another release…who knows.”

R3TS&DNSR5 RE1MAG1NED is available for free download via Kokayi’s Bandcamp here.

Raheem DeVaughn is making good use of his Radio Raheem moniker with his new internet radio show. The singer promises to give you Coldplay and Lil’ Wayne in a format that is the opposite of mainstream programming. You can hear the show on BLIS FM when it debuts on June 19th.

Hollywood, CA – Before TMZ, bloggers and syndicated radio, urbanites would sit anxiously by their radio at a designated time to hear who was doing what, how and to who via a show called Radioscope. The year was 1983 and Radioscope scooped the news and entertainment gossip as the first syndicated urban entertainment magazine on the air! Then in 1996, EURweb.com took the agenda viral, with a online format that provided news, entertainment, gossip and editorial for an audience now in the millions.

And the man behind it all is Lee Bailey, a visionary with a bellowing voice that rolls across the airwaves. As the founder of Lee Bailey Communications, Inc., Bailey Broadcasting Services and Rabercom, Bailey has molded a communications empire that services not only listeners and readers, but also a plethora of media including radio, tv and bloggers who all count on him and his staff for up-to-the-minute news.

On Monday, June 6, 2011, from 7:00 p.m. PST to 9:00 p.m. PST, Jay King will honor and interview Bailey on his show, “The Way I See It” on the Jay King Radio Network on www.BlogTalkRadio.com/Jay-King. Interestingly enough, Jay King was one of the many music artists who relied on RadioScope for publicity and promotions for his two groups, Timex Social Club and Club Nouveau. In addition, Bailey was one of his influences propelling him to launch his own Internet radio show and network.

“As an artist, back in the day, you had to be interviewed on Radioscope to be taken seriously,” recalls King. “An interview on Radioscope was validation that you were impacting the music scene. And even now, when EURweb.com covers a story, the news goes viral instantly. Lee Bailey is a media revolutionary in my book. He does something, everyone else follows. It will be an honor to turn the mike on him and interview the man behind the interviews!”

Lee Bailey’s EURweb.com – which recently launched the UrbanEntrepreneur channel for small business owners and entrepreneurs – can be found online at http://www.EURweb.com and reaches over 1.5 million people a month. His syndicated show Radioscope reaches three to four million monthly giving him a combined reach of over five million people per month.

The Jay King Network is a series of radio shows on the BlogTalkRadio.com/Jay-King circuit. King and his co-host Robert Redwine have become a staple for thousands of listeners around the world with “The Way I See It,” a broadcast that has expanded from Sundays from 2:00 to 4:00 pm PST to now include “The Music Industry” version of “The Way I See It” on Mondays and Wednesdays from 7:00 to 9:00 pm PST. The Jay King Network also includes “SESSIONS with Lynn Tolliver” at 3:00 p.m. PST every Saturday, and a morning show, entitled “Kings in the Morning” hosted by Jay King, Anthony King, Robert Redwine and Lynn Tolliver every Tuesday and Thursday morning at 7:00 a.m. PST.
