LOS ANGELES, Jan. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Latin Thug Records presents the debut
album from ground-breaking artist SOLOW13.  The album will be available in
stores and online February 26, 2008, produced by SOLOW13 and Aaron (T-Bone)
Boatright.  The project represents a lifetime of work and experiences from
this breaking talent.  Legendary mastering engineer Brian "Big Bass" Gardner
(Eminem, Dr. Dre, Snoop, Linkin Park, Madonna) mastered the project to create
what will surely become a classic, iconic album.

    Born in Jalisco, Mexico, SOLOW13's five-year old life was shattered when
his father, in a drunken rage, shot and killed his mother, wounded his aunt
and attempted to shoot him and his siblings.  Like something from a movie, the
family, led by SOLOW13's 16 year old brother, began their journey for a better
life in America.  A journey that took them by foot, by train and by water, and
finally hiding under the floorboards of a truck.  Once here, SOLOW13's natural
talents began to show, both academically and as a hustler on the street.
    He continued to lead this dual existence, developing and excelling
academically, while honing his street skills and knowledge as well.  This
relentless pursuit of the American dream has certainly turned friends to
enemies, left him in dangerous situations and left him broke and homeless more
than once.  Never again, as he has harvested these experiences to create
WARRIOR13 and now presents it to the world.
    The project presents SOLOW13's vision and message of peace.  The project
speaks to his life in the streets and he keeps it gangsta with his dynamic
flow and word-painting metaphors but has recorded a clean album.  Not that
there's a clean and dirty version, the whole project was recorded squeaky
clean, as part of SOLOW13's message and soul.
    SOLOW13 comments: "This project is my life.  These songs represent my
history as a Mexican American, my soul as a True Believer and everything I am
about.  The time is right for my message and I know the world is ready.  It's
not a Black or White thing anymore, it's a Brown thing now.  I'm here to make
SUR of it."
    The project includes guest appearances from rap icons B Real and Sen Dog
of Cypress Hill, with B Real's appearance on "Whistle13" and Sen Dog's
appearance on "Soldiers and Warriors."  Joining the lineup is the original
Godfather of Latin Rap, Mellow Man Ace, who drops a mean 16 bars on "Dickies
with the Polo."
    The single "Whistle13" is impacting Urban radio now and a video for the
single is in production from legendary director DaDa (Snoop, Xzibit, The
Game).
