DJ Fresh Releases Debut Album With SMC Recordings, "The Tonite Show"

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Oct 08 (MARKET WIRE) --
When West Coast Hip-Hop award winner DJ Fresh gets to work, he means
business. The turntablist and producer pulled no punches to create "The
Tonite Show," his debut album on SMC Recordings (PINKSHEETS: SMCE) and
Town Thizzness.

The 28 year-old Baltimore native who currently resides in Oakland, CA
already has a string of "street albums" with the same moniker. While those
projects focused on promoting specific artists, this album showcases
Fresh's versatility and ingenuity as a producer.

The 22-track album features guest appearances from artists across the
hip-hop spectrum including reputable acts Too $hort, Raekwon, Kool G Rap
and Mistah F.A.B., as well as rising regional artists Sleepy D, D-Lo and
Beeda Weeda.

Fresh's obsession with hip-hop began as a child. "I grew up with a lot of
DJs in my family," said Fresh. "My dad, cousin and brothers were all DJs.
I used to sneak downstairs and get on the turntables and try to do what
they did."

Older brother and mentor DJ Dummy took him under his wing and Fresh was
soon working with Common, Nas and Raekwon. He also started competing on
the battle circuit in the late nineties, landing in the top three winners
circle in competitions like the Zulu Nation battle, ITF and the DMC
Championships.

By 2001, Fresh took his career to a new level and started producing beats.
Drawing inspiration from the music from his childhood, coupled with his
love for melodies and piano chords, Fresh's songs are not easily defined.
He can produce for Messy Marv while in the same breadth produce for
M.I.A., capturing each artist's individuality by means of sound.
