United States of America (Press Release) March 7, 2008 --
Founded 20 years ago by the late Eric "Eazy-E" Wright, Ruthless Records attempts to reclaim its position in the market by inking a new distribution deal with SONY/COLUMBIA and unveiling a lineup of new talent for their upcoming 2008 calendar which includes among others…. one of the hottest acts on social networking sites like youtube and myspace; “STREET RUNNAZ CLICK”.
Before the Soulja Boy’s and the Batman dances this trio held down the #1 unsigned rap group position in Georgia for over 2 years on myspace and generated millions of views from youtubers all over the world with their song “JIG WIT IT”. Their internet persona’s ultimately gained the attention of RUTHLESS RECORDS and after serious negotiations the group found themselves a new home.
Confident about the future of Ruthless Records President & CEO Tomica Woods-Wright expressed that it’s all the tools that Street Runnaz Click brought to the table that made this deal work for us. In a separate press release Woods-Write said, “It’s all about the artist(s) and what their contribution will be to the legacy of the label”
