SONG IS ABOUT HOW ARTIST WILL DO OR SAY ANYTHING TO GET MONEY IN THE INDUSTRY TODAY. GANGSTER HIP HOP HAS BECOME A BUSINESS, NOT A WAY OF LIFE BUT BECAUSE OF ITS VALUE-RAPPERS CANT OR WONT SAY THAT. SO ROLAND THICK DOES.

REMIX OF THE VERY FIRST SNAP SONG OUT OF ATLANTA GEORGIA 2001.
ROLAND THICK, THE ORIGINATOR OF SNAP MUSIC HAS BEEN CALLED EVERYTHING FROM THE GODFATHER OF CRUNK TO THE KING OF BEATS. HE HAS BEEN AN ADVOCATE FOR INDEPENDENT RECORD COMPANIES SINCE THE 90'S, A PIONEER FOR WHAT IS NOW KNOWN AS CRUNK MUSICBand/artist history
STILL THE HOTTEST HIPHOP PRODUCER IN ATLANTA. STILL LOOKING FOR TALENTED ARTIST. STILL LOVING THE INDUSTRY. STILL MAKING NEW STARS. STILL DROPPING NEW ALBUMS. NEW LBUM IN STORES JAN. 1, THE FOLLOW UP TO RAW RADIO, AND YOU KNOW IT WILL FEATURE ICHIBA BOYS,ATOMIC MOMMY, SNIPERS IN DIAPERS, RAW BEAT MAFIA AND HOPEFULLY 200 STRONG. ROLAND THICK IS A SELF STYLED PRODUCER WHO BEGAN MAKING BEATS BEFORE THE MPC. DID HIS FIRST VIDEO WITH MOPREME SHAKUR AKA MOCEDES FROM THE #1 HIT "FEELS GOOD" BY TONY TONI TONE! MO WAS ALSO FRONT MAN FOR THUG LIFE AND BROTHER TO THE LATE GREAT TUPAC SHAKUR. AN ACCOMPLISHED MC AS WELL, ROLAND HAS DONE WORK FOR OR WITH LL COOL J, THE REAL ROXANNE, LISA LISA,STRAFFE, JUST ICE,MALCOLM MCLAREN AND THE WORLD FAMOUS SUPREME TEAM SHOW, ROCK MARCIANO OF THE UN, RAW BEAT MAFIA(NY), ROCKMASTER SCOTT, ATOMIC MOMMY, THE DYNAMIC 3, T LA ROCK AND JAZZY JAY, GHETTO MAFIA AND SEVERAL OTHER UNDERGROUND ARTIST WHO DO NOT PREFER BEING NAMED. KNOWN AS THE REAL ORIGINATOR OF SNAP MUSIC, ROLAND THICK HAS BEEN PUMPING OUT SONGS IN ATLANTA GA. FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS. HE WENT TO ATLANTA AND SIGNED WITH DYNASTY RECORDS ALONG WITH SPEECH OF ARRRESTED DEVELOPMENT WHEN HIP HOP WASNT EVEN THOUGHT OF IN ATLANTA. HIS STYLE HAS BEEN DUPLICATED BY HUNDREDS OF PRODUCERS IN THE INDUSTRY. STAYING HUMBLE TO HIS ROOTS HE HAS IGNORED THE EVER GROWING IMITATING STYLE OF INDUSTRY KEY PUNCHERS WHO HAVE DOMINATED THE MUSIC SCENE FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS. KEEPING TO REAL PRODUCTION, ROLAND HAS MOVED ON TO BIGGER AND BETTER THINGS, LEAVING BEHIND WHAT HE STARTED. NOW THAT "SNAP MUSIC" HAS BECOME LIQUIDATED AND STERILE, HE HAS DEVELOPED A NEW ROSTER AND A NEW SOUND. REGARDLESS OF ALL THE "HYPE" SURROUNDING THE INDUSTRY NOONE CAN DENY THAT ROLAND THICK IS A TRUE PIONEER OF WHAT IS KNOWN AS "SOUTHERN CRUNK!!!" CDS DATED BACK TO THE YEAR 2001 CONTAIN SONGS THAT WERE IMITATED BY D4L, LIL JON, YOUNG JOC, MIKE JONES AND SEVERAL OTHERS. IMITATION IS ANOTHER FORM OF FLATTERY, TIME WILL TELL. WHEN ASKED IF IT BOTHERS HIM, HE COULD ONLY SAY "NO, BECAUSE ARTIST IMITATE EVERYONE ELSE ALSO". IT IS THE NEW STATE OF HIP HOP." WHEN I STARTED WE USED WORDS LIKE PERPETRATE A FRAUD, BITERS ETC. LETS BRING THAT BACK." THE ONLY REGRET IS THAT NOONE EVER ACKNOWLEDGES THE FACT THAT ROLAND THICK PIONEERED SOUTHERN BEATS. IN A WORLD OF MONEY HUNGRY M.C'S EAGER TO BE RIPPED OFF BY INDUSTRY PIMPS, THIS IS TO BE EXPECTED. ONE MANS TRASH IS ANOTHER MANS TREASURE. I REMEMBER THE DAYS WHEN I WOULD BE OUT AT GAS STATIONS PEDDLING ROLAND THICKS CD TO PEOPLE FOR 5 DOLLARS, GRINDING MY ASS OFF! NEVER THINKING THAT I WAS ACTUALLY GIVING AWAY THE NEXT "TREND" IN MUSIC.HERE I WAS WORKING IN THE HOOD PUSHING SOMETHING I BELIEVED IN, GETTING DISSED BY EVERYONE I MET, SUBMITTING DEMOS TO NO AVAIL. POLITICS! BULLSHIT! GOOD OL' BOYS MENTALITY! NEPOTISM? I ADVISE ALL PRODUCERS TO BE VERY CAREFUL WHO THEY SUBMIT DEMOS TO, PUSH YOUR OWN SHIT WITH ALL COPYRIGHTS AND ATTORNEYS IN PLACE. KEEP AN EYE ON WHAT YOU DO BECAUSE EVERY VULTURE THINKS THEY CAN TAKE "YOUR" MUSIC TO THE "NEXT LEVEL", AND OF COURSE YOU WILL NOT BE COMPENSTATED. THIS IS REAL TALK FROM A REAL PERSON, TAKE HEED! BUT REMEMBER "TIME WILL TELL". ON THE GRIND ONCE AGAIN, ROLAND THICK IS NOW DEALING WITH SOME OF HIP HOPS FINEST. HE HAS ASSEMBLED A NEW NETWORK OF ARTIST, AND STAFF WHO HAS HIS BEST INTEREST IN MIND. JANUARY OF 2007 HE WILL RELEASE 5 ALBUMS AT ONE TIME. THIS IS A FIRST FOR THE INDUSTRY, AND IT CONTAINS SPECIAL GUEST AND SURPRISES WHO WILL NOT BE NAMED AT THIS TIME BECAUSE WE ARE STILL MAKING CHANGES TO THE ROSTER. THANKS TO ALL REAL FANS AND FRIENDS WHO HAVE FOLLOWED THE MOVEMENT.."TIME WILL TELL" ONE....TOMMYHave you performed in front of an audience?ROLAND THICK DOES VERY SMALL INTIMATE PERFORMANCES AND ENJOYS PLAYING AT SMALL CONCERTS. PREFER TO STAY AWAY FROM COMMERCIAL VENUES.
