Core 2TWENTY2

Who are they?
They're a New Orleans based web promotion group.
What do they do?
They specialize in web based media and product promotion.
How long have they been around?
Officially, since today, but unofficially they've been around for over 3 years.

Core 2TWENTY2 was founded by 2 college roommates back in mid 2004. They're dorm room was "party central" meets photo studio meets "girls walk out limping" meets "everyone leaves drunk". The room number...222. Kind of a catchy number, swag behind it, meaning behind it, plus it sounds nice, has a nice roll off the tongue feel..pause.

BEAN TALK
Back in college all we did was party, drink, girls, get creative, and make good grades. I started out doin party promotional flyers for Full Moon Entertainment, who at that time had the Hammond La. college party scene on lock, and thru making flyers and promoting for Full I made a lot of connections, more friends, and met even more women, and really thats what it all leads back to right, the women. Then me and my roommate started the get fresh movement, well really that nigga started it when he started changing clothes 3 times a day and hittin campus with "where u got that from" gear. From there it was a must to have a new fit for every party and to shit on the whole club every party. We was popin bottles in the club back when ev'body thot a plastic cup was all there was. We bought that New Orleans mantality to Hammond and they loved that because they neva seen nuthin like it before..poor country people. Hammond really hasnt been the same since we left.

PISTOL SPEAKS
2TWENTY2 is a life-style, its what we represented all day every day, from the clothes we wore, the liquor we drank, the parties we threw, the bbq's we put on, and the girls we interacted with, and by interact u know what I "really" mean. There isnt enough time to sit and tell you bout all the things we did back in school that helped form what we now call 2TWENTY2, just know we represent it to the Core til this day, and will continue to rep what we started from day one to day done. We always said if we start a business its gotta have 222 in it because thats where it all started. Never knew exactly when the business was gonna pop off or what it was gonna consist of, we just knew it had to be named 222 and it had to have dealings with the music/entertainment industry. We got talent ova here, and we just tryin to show that and help those we believe in get further with what they doin. This in the soul, its in the core of our bones...that why were Core 2TWENTY2.

At this time Core 2TWENTY2 has 2 artist they're currently working media for: E-Nyce and newly added Caesar. E-Nyce has been a client for some months and for him Core 2TWENTY2 has set up a blogspot, music sharing site, promoted all music on Twitter and Facebook & set up performances thru social networking. E-Nyce's first official mixtape to hit the streets was The Prologue which released on the 10th of last month and to date has had over 500 downloads. Months leading up to its release Core 2TWENTY2 started dropping leaks off the mixtape and also dropped songs not on the mixtape to get people ready and familiar with this new artist, so when it was time for the mixtape to drop it would be heavily recieved.

PISTOL SPEAKS
The internet is what's up. Especially for a new artist with no major backing; the best thing u can do is make fans off these social sites. U gotta treat it like the majors but with more work. U gotta constantly put out GOOD music, u gotta constantly meet new people and get em familiar with u so they click on ur music, but u also gotta get in with these other artist who are doin the same as u and believe in what u believe in because ultimately their fans become ur fans and vice versa. U gotta show love to get love, and that's what I greatly believe. I also believe in hard work and good product, if u work hard and give me something worth getting out there, Ill do my best to go beyond my duty to make sure people hear u, but not only hear u, listen.

Looks like 2010 will shape up to be the beginning of a beautiful start for Core 2TWENTY2. Remember the name, watch the moves, get familiar. Do remember this is a brand new group and it takes time for that ball to get rolling, but with a clientele for 2 promising artist and backing from industry insiders, that balls already gotten a nice push & its only a matter of time before its rolling full speed.
