T-Town Prod.

Another year, another Grammy nomination for the amazing T-Town Productions team from Hamburg, Germany. Nominated for their contribution for R&B legend Mya’s new album “Smoove Jones”, Dennis -Manuel Peters, Daniele Coriglie & Mario Bakovic wrote “Coolin'” together with Nikki Flores during an extended writing session in Los Angeles. This Grammy nod marks the 4th nomination for T-Town in total, after being recognized for R. Kelly’s “Untitled” (Best Contemporary R&B Album) in 2011, “Write Me Back” (Best R&B Album) in 2013 and Chris Brown’s “X” (Best Urban Contemporary Album) in 2014. We congratulate the T-Town family and have our fingers crossed for Feb 12th.

Legendary old school rapper Redman once said: “I’m after the gold and after that the platinum.” Well, it seems that Dennis, Mario & Daniele aka T-Town Productions are about just that. Just days after locking in the RIAA certified platinum award for their contribution to Chris Brown’s “X” album, the RIAA announced that yet another release with songs written and produced by T-Town Productions has reached the acclaimed accolades. “Black Panties”, R. Kelly’s 2013 album which features a total of 4 songs by the Hamburg based production trio, has sold more than 500,000 copies in the US. Congrats to the whole team! What an amazing streak!

About one and a half years after its release, “X”, Chris Brown’s 6th studio album, gets its official RIAA certification for going platinum in the United States. The success album was driven by hit singles like “Love More”, “Loyal”, “New Flame” and “Came To Do It”, but also featured the incredible song “Drown In It”, written and produced by Hamburg’s musical power-trio T-Town Productions and published by Starting Lineup Music Publishing and BMG Rights Germany. Back in 2014 “X” entered the Billboard Top 200 on the #2 position and the Billboard Top R&B/HipHop Albums on #1. We congratulate our guys to their continued success and tip our hats to their impressive body of work. This is one for the books!

Right in time for Valentine’s day, r&b legend Mýa returns with brand new music and her eight studio album “Smoove Jones”. Released on Mýa Harrison’s own label “Planet 9”, the album also features “Coolin'”, a song produced by our artists T-Town Productions, written by T-Town and Nikki Flores during a joint studio session in Los Angeles. As Mýa states, the Valentine’s day release is also a strong reference to the singer’s early beginnings: “Feb 14 is a significant date – the day my very 1st single was released. So it’s an appreciation to everyone who’s been ridin’ w/me since day 1.” “Smoove Jones” is available digitally worldwide, with physical copies (standard, autographed, deluxe) available exclusively on Mýa’s myamya.com.

Everyone familiar with the big names of 90’s rap knows about Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and their argueably most prolific member Krayzie Bone. Ever since the immortal 1995 #1 smash hit “Tha Crossroads”, the Cleveland collective has had its place in the hip hop hall of fame. 20 years later Krayzie Bone returns with “Chasing The Devil” which has been promoted as his “final solo album”, lead by the introspective and atmospheric first single “Cloudy”, produced by none other than Hamburg’s rising producer-trio T-Town. We’d like to congratulate our clients and applaud their continuing success. “Chasing The Devil” drops on November 20 and is available for pre-order here.

Starting Lineup’s newest publishing signing T-Town productions keep making serious noise with their latest release “Drown In It”, performed by Chris Brown & R. Kelly. The T-Town-written and -produced record entered the US Billboard charts on #2 only a few weeks ago and just got nominated for a Grammy for being part of Chris Brown’s masterpiece album “X”. The award for “Best Urban Contemporary Album” is an award that honors the performer/artist, the producers and engineers of an album. We congratulate T-Town for this huge accomplishment and have our fingers crossed for the Grammys on February 8th.

We would like to congratulate the amazing production and songwriting team T-Town Productions for their recent chart success with their contribution to the newest Chris Brown album “X” which was released on Sep 15th. “X” took the #2 position on the Billboard Hot 100 with 146.000 units sold in its first week, just short behind Barbara Streisand’s comeback “Partners”. The T-Town co-written and produced song “Drown In It” features a strong guest performance by R. Kelly and is already considered one of the highlights of the album.

We are proud to announce that the Hamburg-based production and songwriting team T-Town has joined BMG rights in an exclusive joint venture with the Starting Lineup Music Publishing division. Dennis, Mario and Daniele aka T-Town have been on the german music scene for a while and have recently achieved tremendous international success with their work for the last two R. Kelly albums “Write Me Back” and “Black Panties”. With their sound being based in contemporary RnB and hip hop, the production trio is striving for more success in the US and UK markets and are ready for the next steps in their careers. We welcome them to the Starting Lineup family and are excited to have them on board.
