Word up! Yo, I'd like to put you on to a new artist named "Catalyst" out of the Bronx. His peoples just sent me some snippets of his latest work which I think that you should check out. Very, very good stuff if you ask me. Also for your interest, I have included a short biography on him for you to peruse after you hear these joints.

The game can learn something from catalyst. He's well spoken and hood. Eloquent and Raw. On the tracks that I've heard he's brought the best of both worlds. I like his choice in Collaborators as well as his choice in tracks. Hasn't been a dull moment on wax for this brother throughout this venture. I look forward to hearing more and when I cop the new iPod I'm downloading 'For The Record' Hene C of Ohene Cornelius Music, Inc.

Excellent....more than anything, this album is a realistic portrayal of the artist. Most artists front like they're on some rock star s#*!, but Catty truly is. I'm impressed with his ability to make those singles. Most artists their first time out don't quite understand the power of a hit record. That's obviously not the case with Catalyst's first LP. I can't wait to hear the follow-up album...I'm sure the growth will be tremendous. Keep doing what ya doing kid.

Now this is what I call a record!!!! From beginning to end..Catalysts album really holds substance! A quality that the albums are lacking these days. His lyrics portray stunning visual imagery, catch phrases & real life stories. I'm loving the production on this album...very creative! "Get Rich Get Fly" and "You First" are my favorite joints. He's the whole package...what more can I say? Cop the album!!

Bio
Born and raised in the bronx , as an only child, by a single mother is
what shaped the career path of Catalyst. At an early age, the combination
of having a mother at work and a curiosity for the streets is what gave a
young Catalyst lessons in life. It later became obvious to all that catty's
music would be heavily influenced by his life experiences. Touching on
everything from, money, women, street life, struggle , and pain. However,
what would sound like more of the same from others, comes off as
authenticity in catty's music. It is also a plus when you come from a
family that has had musical talent passed down from generation to
generation. This is also what opened up the door for his debut album
"PERFECT TIMING" . The making of this album symbolized his drive
to take his career further than any of his his family ever did before him.
And with an extensive run in the music and fashion industry, the timing
couldn’t have been any more perfect. With collaborations from CIRCLE
ENT. And SPITFYA ENT. This album can easily be considered an
independent classic. Leading the way with the smash hit "GET RICH,
Get Fly" catty's buzz will only continue to grow from here and a record
deal with a major is only a matter of (TIME).
