Brooklyn Hip Hop Trio T-Weaponz Heads to Los Angeles to


Promote New Music Video "XtraOrdinary"

Los Angeles, CA / July 16, 2008 - Brooklyn Hip Hop Trio and Billboard Top Ten group
T-Weaponz will be in the Los Angeles area from August 12 - 16th, on a media and radio
run to support new single and video "XtraOrdinary" featuring Diamonique. The video
will debut on holamun2.com on Wednesday, July 23 and the group will film an
episode of Mun2's popular show One Nation Under Hip Hop with host Frankie
Needles during their promotional trip. More television, print, radio and Internet media will

This independent group released their long awaited debut album Just Begun... in late
2007 and "XtraOrdinary" will be the first single with a video from the album. T-Weaponz
recently appeared in the pages of The Source Magazine and Batanga Music
Magazine, as well as in the National Puerto Rican Day Parade in New York City and
Chicago, and on stage at the Calle Ocho Festival in Miami, Florida.
About T-Weaponz

T-Weaponz is an explosive lyrical trifecta hailing from the streets of Brooklyn's East New
York, composed of brothers IzReal and Arkitek and their neighborhood friend Psalmz.
After meeting at an impromptu neighborhood 'CIPHER' (term used to describe a circle of
emcees rhyming together) and later discovering how many similarities they shared both
in terms of their life experiences and their ideals they soon came together under the
moniker Tomorrow's Weaponz, which they later shortened to T-Weaponz, representative
of how the trio lives for today and hopes for a tomorrow using their own weapons-
thoughts and wits.

Over the years, T-Weaponz's unique lyrical style, catchy beats and desire to bring truth,
hope and justice to the streets has garnered the group many successes, among them:

2007: T-Weaponz released their digital full-length debut entitled Just Begun.., which
features production from hit-maker Fingazz of Streetlight Music. With this highly
anticipated released, the group was featured in two consecutive issues of The Source
Magazine: Off the Radar (Dec. 2007) and Tale of the Tape (Nov. 2007). They also
walked away with the Underground Music Award for Most Dynamic Group or Duo.

LATV segment following T-Weaponz to their album release aired to exceptional viewer
ship. It beat out Mun2's "One Nation Under Hip Hop," MTV Tres's "Karlifornia," and
came in slightly under MTV's "The Hills" in the Los Angeles Area.

2006: In December 2006, T-Weaponz released the bounce-laden single Dem Boyz,
featuring Houston rapper Trae, which debuted at No. 7 on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop
Singles chart, and where it remained for six consecutive weeks.

2005: T-Weaponz's audience skyrockets with the release of the catchy bilingual anthem
Mira Mira. The wildly popular "spanglish" track, which features Cuban rapper Pitbull and
Notch, formerly lead singer of the Born Jamericans, bridges the gap between English-
and Spanish-speaking people with its witty fusion of English and Spanish words. In a
matter of months, the song became an international hit catapulting T-Weaponz into the
mainstream. Mira Mira and other singles garnered over 15,000 radio spins nationally and
surpassed 50,000 in digital download sales.

This summer, the group will release a new single and video "XtraOrdinary" a dedication
to the ladies who love hip-hop.
