RMD Entertainment Group (OTC: RMDG) has announced one of the most influential company profiles to date. Referred to by industry insiders as the hip-hop bible, Murder Dog magazine has the ''Midas touch'' with regard to selecting and profiling tomorrow's biggest hip-hop and rap music success stories -- RMD is no exception. Traditionally, the pages of the hip-hop and rap publication Murder Dog Magazine are reserved for the artist's themselves; however, the executives at Murder Dog felt that it was time to take a look at a publicly traded company like RMD and introduce their revolutionary "hip-hop meets Wall Street" philosophy to the world by not only profiling their first breakout artist, Roc Monee, but also taking a look at the executives guiding the ship. RMD CEO Giorgio Costonis had this to say; "Having our ''hip-hop meets Wall Street'' philosophy recognized by a publication as influential as Murder Dog is an honor and reaffirms the fact that RMD is breaking new ground; however, what is most important to this company is conveying the appropriate message. We are seizing this particular opportunity to let the hip-hop community know that we are here to change the way fans interact with artists and their labels. This is no longer a one-sided relationship; our mission is to bring the younger consumers into the fold by teaching them financial responsibility and introducing them to the stock market under the right circumstances." With a circulation of nearly a quarter million in the U.S. alone, Murder Dog magazine has been delivering the most prolific artists to its readers for nearly ten years, In fact, Murder Dog was the first nationally distributed magazine to cover hip-hop and rap artists like Master P, Biggie Smalls, Fugees, Hot Boys, Busta Rhymes, Mystikal, and now RMD's own Roc Monee. RMD Entertainment (RMD) is a cutting-edge entertainment company with a primary focus on selling hip-hop music internationally.
