NEW YORK, NY, Feb 23 (MARKET WIRE) --
E1 Music (formerly KOCH Records) and Kill All Rats Entertainment are set
to release a new compilation album, "Joe Crack and Pistol Pete Present
K.A.R.," on April 7th, 2009. The album was Executive Produced by Fat Joe
and Pistol Pete, and A&R'd by Antony Torres aka Red. The album features
Fat Joe, DJ Khaled, Jadakiss, Ace Hood, Hell Rell, Sean Kingston, Sheek
Louch, Tony Sunshine, Raekwon, Dre of the multi-platinum production team
Cool & Dre, plus K.A.R. members Rob Cash, Onez, Leader and Mike Beck.
Just like Dipset, G-Unit, and Wu-Tang before them, K.A.R. has become the
new New York movement. The collective has a slew of mixtapes and
freestyles and has built a name for itself from the ground up. For this
release, Bronx street legend Pistol Pete has teamed up with Joe Crack
(Fat Joe) to bring the K.A.R. movement to the forefront for this
compilation, along with K.A.R. members Mike Beck, Rob Cash, Leader, &
Onez.
Fat Joe says, "It's been a while since New York has had great new energy
like K.A.R. mafia brings to the game. They are the future."
The club banger "Oh Baby" features Joe Crack Onez and Rob Cash and can be

Pistol Pete is a street legend turned CEO. After serving a 15 year prison
sentence, Pete returned home and was welcomed not only with love from the
hood, but by fellow Terror Squad member Fat Joe, who had gone on to become
one of the music industry's biggest stars. Joe, whom Pete had known before
he was in the music industry, took the upstart under his wing as he tried
to find his way in the entertainment industry. He opened up a world of
opportunities for his fellow Terror Squadian and it wasn't long before he
was sitting down with famed music industry attorney Burt Padell creating
his own company, Kill All Rats Entertainment.
Pete is motivated by his surroundings and had this to say: "I'm in it
because I want to fulfill the dreams of those guys who are in the
neighborhood all day -- they are nicer than half of these guys in the game
right now -- but don't get the opportunity because these A&R guys and big
executives don't take time out to go into hoods and get the talent there.
A lot of people in this rap game forgot where they came from! It's Kill
All Rats, the movement!" In describing the project, Pete says: "We have a
statement to make. We have music on there that people will be able to
relate to. I'm going to have jail songs. It's gonna have club joints,
joints where you can fall back. But at the end of the day Pistol Pete does
this for those in the struggle. K.A.R. represents these people -- those
who are in prison and those who can relate to his upbringing and way of
life."
