Young Jeezy "Phones In" Fli Tones For ATL
Hi Fli Tones, an Atlanta based ring tone company has tapped Young Jeezy and other various local rappers to be the faces of company's current campaign.
Jeezy, along with Shawty-Lo, Slick Pulla, BHI, and Yola the Great will prominently appear on Hi Fli's website (www.hi-flitones.com) and their ringtones, videos, pictures and other mobile content will be available via the site.
According to Tim Maxman, President and Managing Partner of Hi-Fli Tones, his company will only offer mobile content from Atlanta based artists whose material is hard to find on mainstream platforms.
"In many explosive urban markets like Atlanta, Miami, and Houston, the evening radio countdown doesn't play the Billboard Top 40. Instead, it's full of local celebrities who make music specific to that region," explains Maxman. "That regional music is essentially overlooked by more popular sites like Jamster so we decided to fill the void. In the process, we give consumers an alternative and we create a revenue stream for local artists."
In related news, Young Jeezy will be joining Jermaine Dupri and Ludacris at the Morris Brown College in Atlanta this Saturday (September 16th) to support Russell Simmons' "Get Your Money Right" tour.
Launched in 2005 by Simmons and the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network (HSAN), the tour speaks to young adults and community members about the importance of financial literacy.
