NOTE: Trading in John Young has been suspended pending confirmation of a publicly announced deal with Defient Records of Warner Music.


THE MARKET: Will Jon Young get a major-label or indie-label record deal by
September 30, 2007? If either of these happens, shares are worth $100. If neither happens, shares are worth $0. Trading closes August 31, 2007.

THE LOWDOWN: Jon Young’s fans have listened to his songs on MySpace over 11 million times. Young put the Orlando, FL hip hop scene on the map and has his sights on putting his mark on beats from coast to coast and beyond. Hear his music at his MySpace page. In videos he often collaborates with fellow rapper J. Cash.

THE PR: From www.southwest-connection.com: “What sets me apart is that my beats are versatile … I do the smooth, melodic tracks but most artists want their beats more crunk so I have to adapt to that. Also, I don’t really follow the trends of what’s popular. I don’t let what’s out now influence what I’m going to lay down, so I try to create something unique each time.”

From jonyoungmusic.com: “DJs are scrambling to get [City I Luv] for their forthcoming mix tapes, not to mention the amount of bootlegging this album has already endured in its short existence.”

THE BUZZ: MySpace top ten unsigned artist on May 21, 2007.
