FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Street Executives Presents:

Adrift Da Belle
Drift Chronicles mixtape Release Party

ATLANTA [5.7.12] - Street Executives present Adrift Da Belle’s "Drift Chronicles"Release Party on May 10, 2012, sponsored by Raw Roots, The Mad Bloggers, The Fembassy, and Jayforce. Join this live exhibition of music at Indigo Bar [619 Edgewood Ave SE, Atlanta, GA. 30312] from 11 p.m onwards.

After the huge success of her listening party, Adrift Da Belle invites you all to join her for the official release of the Drift Chronicles mixtape.
Drift Chronicles,which drops 5.8.12  - is already being hailed as some of the rapper's most ground breaking work to date. As Adrift Da Belle has averted from the underground/boombap hip-hop to a more universally palatable sound, a sound that has been well received from her long term supporters and those who attended the Listening Party last month on 4.26.12.

“I think this is a complete project. Few artists have the ability to create something with mass appeal but still maintain their authenticity like Adrift does with this mixtape. ” - Soulaesthetic

“"We also attended a mixtape listening session for the Adrift Da Belle’s, a local artist here in Atlanta.  It was definitely entertaining as hell to say the least…" - Dead End Hip Hop”

Drift Chronicles !!!!!

Drift Chronicles drops on 5/8...I've been told this is my best project to date. I'm proud of that. As an artist I strive to get better and better. I finally have a team that understands and supports me and my vision, for that I am so thankful . It's hard sometimes to pursue a dream. Doing so alone makes it unbearable. Just when I was ready to give up, God sent me a team. God is so good! (Street Execs/True Talent - Wooot!! Wooot!!)

I gave you more Adrift Da Belle the person than Adrift Da Belle the lyricist this time. Its great to be dope - its a blessing to touch people on a human level. No matter our color, creed, sex, gender, orientation - the fact of the matter is we all go through the same shit in ways relative to our personal lives. So this project "chronicles" what I've been going through since my last full length album (Garden State Parkway)... The good, bad and the ugly... 

Dont cry for me Argentina, Im doing well!  I own Kookarooos!! (hahaha)

Check out the first single R.A.W. and tell a friend to tell a friend to Download Drift Chronicles on 5/8 (FREE)...my gift to all of you ... XO, Drift

I Got Next Showcase ATL

Soooo OK, as an professional recording artist...its sometimes hard to audition for shows and/or be asked to sell tickets when you could very well book a club and get the door or at least a profitable door split. But yo, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. My ppls sent me this message telling me about these auditions so since i was fresh off the success of being one of hundreds chosen for the 1 Mic Cypher show...I decided why not...

 The audition was for a chance to perform for Lenny S (VP, A&R, Def Jam) and Omar Grant (Director, A&R, Roc Nation)  next Sunday at De Ja Vu in Atlanta, GA...fair enough right...right..So, of course I made it...now they want me to sell tickets...i mean we all know the game....

Check out what Lenny S and Omar Grant have to say about this Sunday's Showcase/Competition....

The tickets are $20 and can be purchased when you see me or via Paypal  or if you happen to see me on the street this week... I prefer pay pal though...

Click the Pay pal button below to buy tickets or got to paypal.com and send a gift to me using my paypal email address (adriftdabelle@gmail.com)
