FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

THE MOST UNDERRATED BAND IN PORTLAND The North West is demanding “Real Hip Hop music”

Blackmarket La familia is more than just a band. They are a super production team. One of their best music engineers Aneal Jeannis built their studio in 2005 when he was 17 years old. Their youngest member Kelvin Prynce who is 15 years old, writes, performs, and produces instrumentals. La Familia has been producing music since 2003 when Bo and Jonathan Cordeta founded the organization. They began producing their own music videos in 2004 with the help of Wieden and Kennedy’s (Nikes advertisement agency) summer camp caldera where Eloe Gail-Willaims Bo and Anael learned video production. On Saturday March 26th 2006 La Familia did their first major show put on by Global fam and Hungry mob productions the “Back to Reality” show at the wonder ball room with “Dead Prez”(also performed with Immortal Technique 2007 and D12 2009). They have also head lined “The Youth summit” a “stop the violence” show put on by Imani Muhammad to stop gang violence every year since 2006. All the founders and officers of La Familia were under 20 years old when all of this was accomplished, now that’s youth empowerment!

“Cordeta & Jeannis La Familia productions” has produced over 12 artists, over 1,000 songs, distributed over 10,000 CD’s, and over 10 music videos. One of their core missions is to keep youth doing something positive. Every member of the organization has come from a low income back round, a small majority was involved in gang and street violence. La Familia offers a fun exciting and paying alternative to the streets.

Their music is about reality. They write about Portland Oregon’s darkest secrets (gangs, prostitution, poverty, racism, police injustice). They are the true definition of “north west” hip hop sounding like a mixture of Jay-Z’s witty read between the lines lyrics with a laid back west coast twist. They also make music about everyday life that anyone can relate to like; relationships, paying bills, partying, school, and living in the city. Their songs are drenched with arrogance and flamboyance. Flaunting cars, designer clothing, and jewelry they still manage to “Bring back to tha hood”(search “Blackmarket Bring back to tha hood” on www.YouTube.com) by not only producing events for revenue to help their own members overcome poverty, but also throwing many charity events for the community. They continue to produce greatness everyday. La Familia greatly appreciates you taking the time to learn more about them, and would be extremely grateful for any support you can offer. # # # Lisa Loving Of The Skanner News July 29, 2010 Anael and Cordeta of USA La Familia perform during the 2009 Youth Summit, Julie Keefe photo
