Regional Note!

J Isaac's new album release: Welcome 2 the Planet is coming up soon!! Is it August 9th? Correct me on that if I'm wrong. I'm hearing the big release promoted all over Twin Cities hip hop stations. If the hype is any indicator, this will be a big deal among the teen crowd.

Why not order a few extra copies? Make a display. Friend his MySpace account with yours. Show that libraries have an ear to the ground, a finger to the pulse of teen interests. :)

Those outside of the Twin Cities. I'm sure you have your own 'big event' regional music releases coming up. Especially as the underground/indie hip hop scene is making a resurgence. Check out label websites! Your teens may have some good leads.
