L.A.’s DJ Rhettmatic (Beat Junkies) has linked up with Michigan’s Buff1 (Atheltic Mic League) to form the collaborative duo, Crown Royal. The group has signed to Bay Area based MYX Music, and is eyeing a 2010 release for their debut album. The label is also home to One Be Lo, Kam Moye (aka Supastition), Jern Eye, D. Black, and Keeley & Zaire, among others. “I’m honored to be part of the MYX Music Label family,” says Rhettmatic, “To have a company like MYX interested and excited in the music Buff and myself make is a blessing, especially during these times with only a few indie labels around.” Check out the group’s first single below. – DJ Pizzo
