What is “Hop-Rock”?

It’s time to raise up or get down, because the CAPGUN CRIMINALS are tearing through this industry like a freight train. Some might even ask what the meaning of “Hop-Rock” is. Hop-Rock is the in-your-face scorching mix of PUNK/CRUNK/ROCK and HIP-HOP.

These guys have attracted tons of attention from Major labels and some of the premier Indie labels in the industry world wide with their infectious hooks and never-ending guitar riffs. They have been praised and hated in the same breath by some of their peers, but they’ve always managed to come out on top and get the last shot. While most bands spend more time just re-inventing the wheel, this super group has launched full speed into something that’s never really been done before.

The CAPGUN CRIMINALS have been burning up the underground scene and rocking to packed venues all across the U.S. with their HIGH ENERGY stage presence and in your face “Hop-Rock” musical style.

Their debut album, “SHOOTING BLANKS”, will be dropping in 2008, and will feature their SMASH HITS “Step Up” and “Rock-Star”. Their underground radio campaign has been met with great success and huge admiration from many of the premier radio stations nationwide. This band is definitely one to watch for in 2008. They’re one of the most highly anticipated and talked about groups coming out of Atlanta, GA.

After collaborating on hits with Usher, Ice Cube, Ying Yang Twins and a host of others on the release of his second certified double-platinum album, Crunk Juice, Lil Jon is preparing to commence work on his fourth full-length album CRUNK ROCK.

The new album, which is scheduled for release later this year, is Lil Jon’s first venture as a solo artist on TVT. The first single, “Snap Yo Fingers” features E-40 and Sean Paul (Youngbloodz).

As a producer, Lil Jon has become one of the most in-demand beatsmiths in music. He has crafted his signature revolutionary sound from chants and catchy choruses. His consistent hitmaking has earned him legions of fans from Los Angeles to the Midwest to his native region, the South. This is evident as Lil Jon won BMI’s 2005 Songwriter of the Year. He also scored eight Billboard Awards (Rap Song of the Year for “Lovers and Friends”, Hot 100 Single of the Year for “Yeah”, Hot 100 Airplay Single of the Year for “Yeah”, Hot 100 Producer of the Year for “Yeah”, Mainstream Top 40 Single of the Year for “Yeah”, R&B/Hip-Hop Group of the Year 2003, Independent Album of the Year for Kings of Crunk and Independent Artists of the Year 2003), a Grammy (Best Rap/Song Collaboration for “Yeah”), a Radio Music Award (Song of the Year for Hip-Hop/Rhythmic Radio for “Yeah”), a BET Award (Viewer’s Choice for “Yeah”), two MTV Video Music Awards (Best Dance Video and Best Male Video for “Yeah”) and an American Music Award (Best Rap/Hip-hop Band, Duo or Group 2003).

Work Hard? Play Hard? White Willow, a major player in CRUNK!! Energy Drink, has got your back!

All About White Willow…

• White Willow (Salix Alba) is a species of willow tree native to Europe and western/central Asia.
• The name derives from the white tone of the leaves, paler than most other willows, due to a covering of very fine silky white hairs.
• The white willow was introduced to the United States from Europe and can be found next to waterways throughout the US.
• The bark of the White Willow is the part of the tree which contains important chemical compounds used in medicine, and is easily removed in the spring when the sap begins to flow.

A Cure for What Ails Ya’ -or- Did you know where Aspirin came from?

• White Willow has been used for centuries in successful relief of pain and reduction of fever. In fact it dates back to the time of Hippocrates (400 BC) when patients were advised to chew on the bark to reduce fever and inflammation.
• The bark of White Willow contains the primary medicinal constituent salicin, which is a chemical similar to aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) and is responsible for the pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory effects of the herb.
• White Willow, though slower than aspirin to achieve an effect, tends to last longer than the synthetic forms of the chemical. Natural salicylic acid from White Willow is nearly as potent as aspirin, but salicin from White Willow does not cause gastric or intestinal upset

White Willow Folklore

White Willow has so many legends and uses, they could not possibly all be listed in this blog post. Here are just a few:

• The Celtic tradition uses a tree alphabet and assigns tree associations to the wheel of the year in an astrological system. In magical associations, White Willow represents romantic love, healing, protection and fertility.
• In China, the willow is also a symbol of immortality because of its long life.
• In Louisiana folk medicine, White Willow leaves are used to treat fever by laying on the cool leaves, when the leaves become warm, it means the fever had transferred into them.
• White Willow smoke is believed to sooth and guide the souls of the dead.
