This TV series has a charity angle, but the high entertainment value appeals to a wide audience. Lovers of music and celebrities will be drawn to the show as much as concerned activists. We’ve got rock stars and the United Nations together in a way that is turning heads.
Each episode features an influential musical icon of our times. We honor their life and their work, interviewing other musicians and celebs, and doing a brief retrospective on their career. The all star cast of musicians who come out to honor the featured artist will also join him on stage! These are musical performances that have never been heard or seen before, as supergroups are formed for One Night Only, jamming on the pivotal sounds of our times.
Connected to a United Nations effort, our featured guest will also get the chance to spotlight a charity that they believe in. The UN has made goals to improve our planet by 2015. Each episode and charity will represent one of these goals, like Education, Poverty and Women’s Rights
Flashrock hit the road once again only in this music video to cover 4 very different bands when it comes to musical style. We set up a little stage in the backyard of one of the band members house somewhere in Arleta, California and rocked all night long.
Butta Verses, a Bronx-bred rapper who now calls Fort Lauderdale, Florida home, made his debut appearance on De La Soul’s 2004 release The Grind Date spitting back to back with Posdonus on the song “No.” Butta’s name was bestowed upon him by fellow MCs at local ciphers but once his mixtape reached the ears of DJ Maseo from De La Soul, his rhymes started reaching neighborhoods around the world. Maseo signed Butta to his Bear Mountain Entertainment label and he began touring with De La Soul to promote The Grind Date. Butta released several mixtapes while playing over 200 shows on De La Soul’s international tour and began recording with his crew GCD (Glee Club Detention) as well as Seattle’s Vitamin D and Bean One for his Bear Mountain debut, Brand Spankin.
Having completed his term with Bear Mountain, Butta focused on live performances, sharing the stage with such veterans as Wu Tang Clan, KRS-One, Boot Camp Click and many others. Though no longer signed with Maseo, Butta was heard in late 2006 on De La Soul’s old-school flavored track, “You Got It” from Impossible Mission. All along, Butta has seen a great deal of his catalog licensed for television (NBC’s Saturday Night Live and A&E’s Dog The Bounty Hunter, to name a couple) and ringtones through his partnership with NYC-based licensing company, Beats and Rhymes.
Today, Butta is wrapping up his follow-up album, Six Minutes To Ten, with such guests as CL Smooth, and A-Butta of Natural Elements with production help from The Mighty V.I.C. and Tzarizm among others. March of 2007 will see the release of an exclusive Butta V track produced by Marco Polo on hip-hop upstart label Audio Clutch. The label's debut release will be available in record stores and online everywhere. Expect more from this rising star in 2007.

As a live band, Suzerain are hard to beat. Having blasted through the majority of the London circuit Suzerain have earned themselves a fearsome live reputation, and are a band to be noted. Their incendiary performances at London top venues and a heart stopping set at the O2 Wireless festival in 06 are a testament to these high standards and lofty ambitions. More than anything Suzerain give their all to everything they do. The gigs incite their fans to dance and chant their name long after they have left the stage. The music leaves no one in any doubt they about their skill, passion and ability to write amazing tunes. Everybody foot taps and all heads turn. Courtesy of Suzerain on MOLI.com.
