April 11, 2009 - Real Talk Studios, based in Dallas, Texas has signed a distribution deal with X Records--a venture that will lead Real Talk from the independent circuit into the mainstream arena. With over two decades producing music, videos, and developing artists, Real Talk has been a staple in the Dallas/Fort Worth music scene because of its strong support of independent musicians. Lou Schober, President and CEO of Real Talk Studios, plans to utilize its main facility in Dallas, as well as its hubs in Long Island, NY, Montgomery, AL, Toledo, OH, and Anaheim, CA to produce and promote projects from its roster of almost twenty Hip-Hop and R&B artists.
Casting a new spin on traditional label operations, Real Talk Studios is taking a different approach in artist development, music production, and marketing. The recording house that has signed some of rap’s hottest breakout performers like Bossaliny, We Mayja and Thyra is not only providing its talent with top-notch production capabilities, marketing and promotions, but a sense of autonomy and ownership—a rare perk in the industry for artists. Real Talk Studios offers high-quality audio and video production in communities where first-rate resources are difficult to come by. As an artist-run facility, Real Talk can provide its talent with all the elements of a larger label because of the low overhead.
This cooperative effort inevitably places X Records and Real Talk artists in a position for success because there is a consistent machine behind them. Other acts on deck for Real Talk Studios include: Dimension, Reddy Red, Blue Print, Blacq Diamondz, LaConda Davies, Trill Game Spitters (TGS), Big Rillo and many more.
“This venture is a win-win for everyone involved,” says Real Talk Studios President, Lou Schofer. “X Records has a strong team with major support from the top, and [Real Talk] has a roster of artists with solid fan bases. The Hip-Hop scene in Texas is about to come full-circle again and we’re pleased to be at the forefront of this movement along with X Records.”
