Oreo Jones Welcomes You to The Group Home



WATCH A LIVE STREAM OF THE DEBUT ALBUM, BETTY
DROPPING SEPT. 4 VIA RAD SUMMER RECORDS
How an artist can perform live is an essential part of building a connection with fans and documenting a good performance in a unique way can be tricky.  There have been numerous series that do this well, Peel Sessions, Burn to Shine and the Basement Sessions are all examples of extraordinary projects.  It is in this frame of mind that Oreo Jones will be inviting you to hear Betty from the comforts of his luxurious abode, The Group Home. Ok, it's true, this will not be a live performance BUT it will be adding a unique twist, capturing what the listener experiences as they hear Betty for the first time.  This is a not a prescripted "listening party", rather a chance for listeners to give their honest opinion, good or bad live.  Invities will be a limited number of media and other industry personel, not a bunch of friends who will butter Oreo's bread.

So from Oreo's house to yours, Rad Summer invites you to watch, listen and ask questions this Monday, August 27, 2012 at 8:00pm (EST).  Pull up a comfy chair, grab your favorite snacks and tune into the party.
  


NUVO:
I'm convinced that Betty is the strongest locally produced hip-hop LP I've ever heard. The album finds Jones stepping forward as a remarkably mature writer, weaving thoughtful narratives, full of nuance and poetic turns of speech, all delivered with his booming, charismatic flow.
Kick Kick Snare:
"I first heard “The John Wayne”...I pressed replay on that youtube video exactly 1.2 million times. Thank god for the interwebs, as I had the pleasure to meet up with Oreo and DMA in Austin and besides being a sick rapper/producer combo they’re also great people in real life"   

Hipster Wave:
"Gosh they're dope!"
