There's No Business Like SHOW Business
How do you impress one half of the brains behind the Cash Money label and creator of its infamous signature sound.....? Well, it helps if you already have a solid buzz of your own due to twelve years of grinding and perfecting your craft and almost a hundred completed songs. That is exactly what 24-year-old New Orleans native and next-on-deck MC, The Show, brought to the table upon being introduced to Mannie Fresh by Fresh's long-time manager, DJ Wop. Soon after, the two laid down a song down together and Fresh promptly signed The Show to his Chubby Boy Productions imprint label.
Born and raised in New Orleans East, The Show, whose real name is Donald Allen, first grabbed New Orleans ' attention in 2004 with the song, Put It Down. The young rapper went on to attack the Southern street music scene with the classic street tapes I Do This, FEMA, 80's Baby and Victory Lap. Word of his talent quickly spread and his ability to be an all around entertainer earned him the moniker The Show and enabled him to perform across the Southern U.S. opening for staples like Lil Wayne, BG and David Banner and picking up his own fans along the way.
The Show's sojourn into rap music started back in 1995 when the death of his father inspired him to write a rap poem, which he read to his mother. The love that poem received kept the young man writing and the rest just came naturally; as it does when you are destined to shine. Dubbed as a 'lyrical' artist, not something oft heard when New Orleans ' roster of emcees is discussed, The Show veered from his usual style for the making of the first single, I Does ft. Mannie Fresh, from his upcoming debut, No Business Like Show Business, at the behest of in-house Chubby Boy producer, Bass Heavy.

"I was drunk in the studio one night, recording with Bass Heavy, when he said "Show, sometimes you have to have fun and I have the perfect song for you." The Show explains. "Sometimes (Bass Heavy went on), you can just keep it simple and still have a good record. We all know you can rap, but can you party?" "So, after about two hours of trying to write the simplest lyrics possible, I Does was born and I actually love the record. Shout out to my big Bro, Bass Heavy."
An association with an industry heavyweight like Mannie Fresh will open a lot of doors but those looking for a heavy roster of features on No Business Like Show Business may be surprised to know that The Show plans to rely on the merit of his own rhyming skills for his debut album's success.
"A lot of today's new artists try to create singles with already established artists to solidify themselves. Those songs, in turn, sound like the established artist's song instead. First time out the gate we are sticking with the in-house 'Cash Money formula' but I do have some artists in mind for the second album."
Production duties will also be kept close to home on The Show's album debut. Along with Bass Heavy, and of course Mannie Fresh, The Show already had a few albums worth of solid material when he signed with Chubby Boy.
"One of the things that Mannie admired about me is that when I became a part of the Chubby Boy/EGMG imprint I was already fully prepared. I had been working closely with three producers, Ceaux Young of Flight School/EGMG, Zella of Flight School and Stevie Drumma of Premier Hits. Together we already had almost a hundred songs."
From Jazz to Zydeco, from Blues to Hip Hop, the city of New Orleans has a long and varied musical legacy for The Show to live up to and he is ready. When asked what he brings to the game that is fresh, or hasn't been done before, he answers quick
"There isn't much beyond the conscious, revolutionary, gangsta, stuntin' or every day struggles that hip hop has to offer." He explains. "Yet, if you twist things a certain way, you can broaden those subjects so far that you can turn it into a fifteen-year career like LL Cool J, Jay-Z or Nas. Since Hip Hop is a predominantly black art form, every rap artist has a similar story; growing up with no father, mom was a single parent so you learn from the streets, but when I put my twist to it, I create a variation of that story and make it my own."
Indeed, there IS no business like SHOW business and this show WILL go on. Album due in stores Fall 2009!
Victory Lap Reloaded hosted by Mannie Fresh currently available on iTunes.
Deep Entertainment continues to build an incredible roster with the signing of Mannie Freshs label, Chubby Boy Records. Super producer Mannie Fresh has long been known for having single handedly created the beats that put Cash Money Records on the map in the entertainment industry. By the late '90s, Cash Money was the preeminent Southern rap label and Mannie. In 1998 Mannie formed the group Big Tymers and released a series of successful singles and albums. The producer behind everything from Juvenile's 400 Degreez to Teena Marie's La Doña finally busted out on his own in 2004 with the wild solo album The Mind of Mannie Fresh. The critically acclaimed producer and rapper was motivated to enter the music industry by the career of his father who was a DJ and he decided early on that whatever work he ultimately decided to make his lifes work would have to be in the music industry. And the music industry is the better for it. His contribution to good, contemporary hits is unparalleled. Now, as the head of his own label, he is using the platform to greater express his creativity and ear for good music as well as his open mindedness to other forms of music outside of Hip Hop. His partnership with Deep Entertainment was the perfect ingredient to complete his recipe for success. The first order of business for Mannie will be the release of Return of the Ballin followed by the unveiling of a host of fresh new talent he will introduce into the marketplace.
Deep Entertainment has long been a force in the music industry having mastered the business of worldwide music distribution and through its precise, strategic distribution plans has either launched or lifted the careers of some of the biggest names in modern music. Known for its Gangsta Grillz series with DJ Drama and the formulation of its record label Deep Records as well its many strong strategic partnerships and proven record of success, Deep Worldwide is poised for success on a global scale. Deep Entertainment is a rising star among independent labels. Boasting the ability to pair creative, outside-the-box distribution channels as well as the traditional methods of retail and digital release with a full set of in house services including marketing, radio promotions and publicity, Deep Entertainment is revolutionizing the way independent music is released and received by the market place"
