President Mary Spio stated, "Hip Hop is fueling a multi-hundred
billion dollar market worldwide, led by more than 24 million 15-29
year-old men in the U.S. alone who connect with the music and
affiliate with the culture. Moreover, a large portion of this same
demographic market is migrating away from traditional broadcast
mediums to platforms like Xbox as its primary source for on-demand
entertainment. Consequently, we expect that HIP HOP 360 will
quickly gain a large and loyal fan base among Xbox LIVE subscribers
who are actively seeking superior quality and highly engaging Hip
Hop-flavored viewing experiences." In addition to HIP HOP 360, Xbox
LIVE is also the source for other Gen2Media on-demand programs,
including Scribble Jam, America's largest underground Hip Hop
event, and Angie Martinez: Interviews with Hip Hop, featuring urban
artists discussing their lives, inspirations and latest
controversies with the popular HOT 97 radio host. "Gen2Media is
intent on meeting the explosive demand for high definition,
immersive and experiential entertainment - anywhere, anytime - by
developing a robust line-up of original programming and delivering
it to content-hungry consumers across our growing distribution
network, which now includes Xbox LIVE, TiVo and numerous leading
online channels," noted Jim Byrd, Chairman and CEO of Gen2Media.
Continuing, he said, "As the tip of the proverbial iceberg, HIP HOP
360 speaks to the creative talent entrenched in our amazing team
and serves as an important demonstration of Gen2Media's impressive
production capabilities. Just watch as our original content
offerings grow to include cutting-edge sports, news, gossip, music,
comedy and drama." About Gen2Media Corporation Based in Central
