Queens Rapper (TRAUM) Fights Against HIV/AIDS
Hip hop maestro and the driving force behind the New York Masta Mix Records label, Traum, proudly announces the release of his debut album “Mad Dreamz”. Mad Dreamz is in stores now on Masta Mix Records / Island Def Jam Distribution and features collaborations with Cormega, Lil Fame of M.O.P., Screwball, Big Noyd and many more, this release features some of the illest sounds ever to spit out of the ghetto including beats by the legendary producer Ayatollah.
Credibility is crucial in any industry but when it comes to a music scene where “real recognize real” is the overriding mantra, New York native Traum walks it like he talks it.
Bloodlines in Hip Hop’s crowded family tree can be hard to explain but Traum’s pedigree is nothing short of thoroughbred: born in the Bronx, the birthplace of the genre and then raised in Queens, Traum was practically destined for his current role as one of the east coast’s hottest artists and most innovative independent label bosses.
Masta Mix Records has already seen success with past projects such as Natural Born Killas Vol., 1 NYOIL – Hood Treason and DJ GMF – Love The Game as well as many Hit singles such as Cormega – Extreme Wit 16 and A+ – Put your hands in the air. You can currently find Masta Mix Records products in FYE stores, amazon.com, ITUNES and other major chains around the country via Island Def Jam.
In addition to the album Traum will be headlining the Mad Dreamz tour and a portion of the proceeds will fund research to improve prevention, detection and treatment of HIV infection and AIDS. Traum is currently looking for sponsors to support the cause. If interested please contact us at mastamix21(at)gmail(dot)com
