Mercury Entertainment Group, in its new relationship with KOCH Entertainment Distribution, looks to take its place as a national leader in urban home entertainment. The Street Life Films label, which forms the foundation of the company, produces a quality range of urban home entertainment. Forthcoming titles include: "Hip Hop Elements", the original underground B-Boy DVD, "DJ Demp – Dirty For Life", a DVD showcasing platinum rappers Juvenile, Trick Daddy and Lil' Flip, and "Real Talk", a documentary on urban comedy hosted by Rayzor, from HBO's "Bad Boys of Comedy". Street Life Films also has a catalog of urban comedy DVD's featuring some of the biggest names from BET's 1 rated show "Comic View".
Also operating under the banner of Mercury Entertainment Group is Kompa TV, a world music record label specializing in French Caribbean music and "The Word", an educational documentary series soon to be airing on PBS stations. Perhaps Mercury's most exciting prospect for the future is R&B sensation Casely. Mercury is soon to release Casely's debut album "I'll Be". A recent feature on CNN and major radio airplay along with Casely's incredible songwriting ability is already making him a household name.
"We are extremely excited about our deal with KOCH Distribution. This relationship will allow us to better place quality-driven urban music and home videos in the US marketplace. Partnering with the KOCH marketing and distribution 'machine' will also give us the best opportunity to effectively penetrate markets that we have not been able to crack. We are looking forward to a long-lasting mutually beneficial relationship."
Robert Roundtree, General Counsel, Mercury Entertainment Group, Inc.
