Muve Headliner Artist Nas has worked directly with Muve Music to create an in-depth track by track Muve Sessions album for his brand new album release Life Is Good. This special track-by-track addition can only to be found on Muve Music, beginning July 17.
From his 1994 debut album Illmatic to his mainstream success with It Was Written, as well as chart topping singles like "Hate Me Now," "One Mic" or "Ether," Nas' ability to tell stories, educate, make you dance--and make you look--is generating large scale recognition. His artistry and versatility is apparent in his album Hip Hop is Dead. Whether he plays the "black militant" on "Black Republican" the "nostalgic sage" on "Can't Forget About You" and the "inspirational teacher" on Kanye West's track "Let There be Light," Nas can assume multiple point of views and create genre bending hits at the same time. For an exclusive Muve Music video interview with the enigmatic Nas or for more information about his latest album Life Is Good, go online to Island Def Jam's site featuring Nas.
Muve Headliner Artist Linkin Park is giving Muve Music a very special exclusive with the June 26 release of their new summer 2012 album titled LIVING THINGS. For a full month, Muve Music customers will have the exclusive remix of the first single from their new album BURN IT DOWN by Tom Swoon.
Linkin Park's LIVING THINGS is a personal album, centered on human emotions and relationships. It is informed by and built upon all previous Linkin Park albums while pushing the band's sound into new territory. It's spirited, energetic, daring and unafraid to hybridize the past, present and future. From day one, Linkin Park built the band upon the premise of fusing all their favorite styles of music into one signature sound. Fast-forward 12 years to LIVING THINGS, and the same six players, Chester Bennington, Rob Bourdon, Brad Delson, Dave 'Phoenix' Farrell, Joe Hahn and Mike Shinoda, have not only developed new tools to make that philosophy a reality, but they're finally comfortable embracing every aspect of their career. Check out Linkin Park for more information about the band and summer tour dates.
Muve First Artist Maybach Music Group (MMG) is teaming up with Muve Music in July to promote this year's new hip hop franchise. Starting June 26, Muve Music will get an exclusive version of MMG's new album simply titled Maybach Music Group - Vol 2. Check out the exclusive bonus title "Gunplay War Ready" feat. Rick Ross & French Montana all month only on Muve Music.
Last year, MMG had a massive debut on Muve Music with Maybach Music Group - Vol 1, and it turned out to be one of the biggest compilation hip hop albums of 2011 on the service. MMG is a label imprint founded by best-selling hip hop artist and entrepreneur Rick Ross. MMG currently includes rappers Wale, Meek Mill and Stalley who have all become part of Warner Brothers Records' roster. MMG has already released successful mixtapes from Meek Mill, "Dreamchasers," and Stalley, "Savage Journey to the American Dream," displaying Ross' ability to develop top talent. Ross started in Miami's underground rap scene and is now considered one of hip hop's elites. Known for his hit singles "Hustlin" (with a remix assist from Jay-Z), "B.M.F. (Blowin Money Fast)" feat. Styles P, "Super High" feat. Ne-Yo, "Aston Martin Music" feat. Drake and Chrisette Michelle, and most recently "Stay Scheemin" feat. Drake and French Montana, Ross continues to expand his success.
