DETROIT, Aug. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Jay Hussle is as tall as an NBA star
... as handsome as a fashion model ... and as skilled as the best rapper on
the charts.
    Now this Pontiac native is about to prove it with a Detroit concert
featuring tracks from his debut album.
    It's called "Man of My Word" and it features several songs produced by
Bad Boy Records star Young Lord, who has produced music for Sean "P. Diddy"
Combs and 50-Cent.
    Coming to stores Oct. 26, "Man of My Word" is being released by
Detroit's 2nd Generation Records and distributed nationally by
Fireworks/Universal Records.
    Hussle will showcase his skills on the mic from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. on
September 2nd at St. Andrew's Hall, 431 E. Congress, downtown Detroit.
    BET star Mad Linx from the hit TV show "Rap City The Basement!" will
host the show. Also blazing the stage will be rappers K-Deezy, Tone-Tone,
Jesse James and Royce Da 5'9".
    Hussle has performed with Lloyd Banks and Li'l Scrappy, and appeared on
VH1 and BET. Now he's ready to steal the spotlight as a new star in the
world of rap.
    He plans to do that with his 20-track "Man of My Word." Clubs will soon
be jumping with the songs produced by Young Lord. They include "Over
There," a hot club beat with a down-South vibe, and "Way You Move," which
celebrates the sexy way a girl walks and dances.
    Hussle's fans across the country are waiting for the album, after
falling in love with his style. Traffic has been booming on his MySpace.com
spot since Hussle scored as second runner-up on the VH1/MTV Networks'
Freestyle 59 Contest in New York. Even more music fans are hooked on Hussle
since he appeared on BET's hit show, "106th & Park." This national
following bolsters his hometown popularity in Detroit, where he has
dominated the radio rap battles on WJLB FM-98 and appeared on Fox 2 News
Morning.
    2nd Generation Records is the dream of Kenneth Tyson Jr., a
quadriplegic who survived a horrific auto accident 29 years ago. He hopes
to fill the void created by the departure of Motown Records from Detroit.
