Ladies’ Code is a South Korean girl group formed by Polaris Entertainment in 2013. Consisting of leader Ashley, with members RiSe, Sojung, Zuny, and EunB, they made their debut with the mini-album Code #01, with the Crada produced track Super Girl, which was released in March 7, 2013 and entered the charts at #60.
It’s the second time around that Crada has successfully worked with french rapper & entrepreneur “La Fouine“. Crada produced and co-wrote the song “Donne-Moi“ on La Fouine’s 5th official longplayer “Drôle de parcours” which hit the stores on February 4th 2013. The album went straight to the top position on the french charts and reached #2 in belgium and #6 on the swiss album charts and it is already certified gold in france.

Berlin newcomer sensation Teesy and his Hamburg based in-house producer T-No are the newest additions to the Starting Lineup Management roster. While Teesy is widely regarded as the most interesting new urban artist in the country, he also possesses excellent songwriting abilities that are not only limited to his very own genre but also a very good feeling for song production and arrangement. T-No has previously worked for many german and filipino artists and is considered to have the potential to be an international success. Starting Lineup is very excited about these young guns and is looking forward to the next months and years.
While the London Olympics slowy come to an end, Crada’s newest U.K. endeavours are just getting started. After making serious noise in Great Britain with last years productions for Clare Maguire (“Freedom”) and Encore (“Tit For Tat”) and working extra studio shifts with artists like Tinie Tempah, Rita Ora and Emeli Sandé, Crada has now scored his first number album in the U.K. with his contribution to Conor Maynards stunning debut album “Contrast”. “Drowning”, the Crada-produced video single, immediately became a fan favorite and is available on all iTunes versions of Conor Maynard’s album.
And for those of you that actively follow the Olympic Games: We are extremely proud that the Clare Maguire/Crada collaboration “Freedom” has been chosen to be one of the songs to be played during the competitions at the Olympic Stadium. Athletes, officials, spectators and viewers from all over the world will be able to enjoy “Freedom” as the official soundrack to the 2012 Olympics.
Throughout the past years of Starting Lineup Records we produced and released numerous projects, all of them being exciting, demanding and entertaining for us in their own way. None of all these releases, however, have been as special as this project. After Rasul’s untimely and surprising death on May 11th, 2010, his family asked us to put together his last, posthumous album “Writing Colours”, which we’re releasing in a close joint venture with Europe’s JUICE magazine. This is what the editors of JUICE have to say:
It’s an honor for JUICE to carry on the torch of an extraordinary talent with the release of this posthumous album. Rasul, formerly MC of legendary Munich rap group Square One, surprisingly passed away in summer of 2010. “Writing Colours” still, is by no means a collage of sound bits and pieces from the depth of old hard drives. All songs on this album had been fully recorded before Rasul’s death and are now being released the way he intended to do. Two thirds of the songs have been produced by the so far unknown beat-duo TrueStatiks. Driven by warm drums and soul samples, they follow in the footsteps of Rasul’s ingenious partner Iman, who he created the 2001 classic “Walk Of Life”. Ali’s musical son Crada contributed with some of his emo bangers he recently placed on albums for Drake and Kid Cudi. Ten years after the release of Square One’s masterpiece Ali and Iman reunite as well to make sure rap stays Soulmusik forever. “Writing Colours” is the perfect combination of the traditional Square One sound and the musically always up-to-date Ali. Rest In Heaven, Rasul.
“Writing Colours” will be released in Germany, Austria and Switzerland as part of the newest edition of JUICE magazine and will be available on June 10th, 2011 (subscribers) and June 15th, 2011 (newsstands).
