/UCWE/ Atlanta, GA – Atlanta-based Holy Hip Hop Music and Atlanta-based Arrow Records announced today that they have entered into a multi-year Strategic Alliance. The terms of the Agreement provide generally that: Holy Hip Hop Music will distribute, as a part of its exclusive Agreement with EMI Gospel, Arrow Records Renowned Minister of the Gospel: Canton Jones.

“We had not planned, at all, for any single album releases at this juncture, but after receiving recommendation from our partners at EMI, the decision to adjust course has been made – beginning with distribution of solo Minister of the Gospel: Canton Jones. This decision was also accelerated by the fact that Canton Jones is so visible and so heavily touring, on a weekly and daily basis, that it only makes sense. This is further accentuated by the statistic that highlights, out of over 10,000 active singers and groups with Electronic Press Kits (EPKs) on Sonicbids, Canton Jones is consistently ranked in the top tier for the past two (2) years see complete charts at: http://www.sonicbids.com/charts

Canton Jones has been, without question, a staple and respected leader within and throughout the Global Holy Hip Hop, Rhythm and Praise and Gospel community over the past five (5) years; and Canton continues to gain momentum in recognition and impact, everywhere he is blessed to Minister or grab a Mic. In Internet Stores or at live shows, Canton Jones CD’s rarely remain in-stock and Canton always brings a crowd roaring to its feet, with his powerful live performances, memorable testimonies and music that inspires, enlightens and uplifts the heart, body and soul.

Holy Hip Hop Music and EMI Gospel are excited and blessed to have Canton Jones, as a part of the family; and we look forward to Canton’s August 16, 2005 debut album release to hit retail stores,” said Panchetta Harris, General Manager.
