Raheem DeVaughn Introduces New Hip Hop Artist, Phil Adé in Alabama

Grammy nominated Neo-Soul Artist and co-founder of the new label 368 Music Group, Raheem DeVaughn, introduced the first Artist on the label, Phil Adé, who shook up the dirty south with his own blend of lyrical hip hop.

Adé, who hails from the Washington, DC area, was the opening act for DeVaughn
performing in front of hundreds of fans at a local radio-station endorsed event at Birmingham, Alabama's Race Course on August 14th. The super-talented Adé had the crowd grooving as he performed several catchy tracks including "Replay," "Disco Flow" and "Hollywood" the first release from his debut project titled, Starting on JV.

DeVaughn's distintively seductive voice has earned him Grammy nominations in 2008 for the Best R&B Male Pop Vocal Performance for his infectious song, "Woman" and in 2009 for the Best R&B Song for "Customer." His most recent project, Art of Noise, and Phil Adé's Starting on JV are available at the 368musicgroup.com site.
