Originally out of the famous Latin hip hop group NB Ridaz, hip hop artists/singers/rappers Dos and Zig Zag, along with pop/dance phenomenon Angelina, are set to release their debut solo album as the group New Ridaz.

The New Ridaz was created by three of the most promising and experienced hip hop and soul artists to emerge from the "Latin Explosion" - street stars who scored hits separately now combining their resources for the ultimate Latin Hip Hop Soul experience.

Zig Zag and Dos have garnered a fiercely loyal hip hop following with many successful radio hits including “Pretty Girl.” Angelina, with her own solid fan base, brings a history of successful international hits, most notable being, “Release Me,” which was a dance phenomenon that made its way to #7 on the Billboard Monitor Chart. “I have been making music with the guys for many years so it was a natural transition to be an official member of the group.” Angelina states, “We are all so different from each other that we compliment each others style.” With combined sales over 500,000 units, the three are now together as the Latin hip hop soul group New Ridaz bringing together a powerful blend of creative styles, sounds and amazing personal flavors.

The New Ridaz self titled album ‘New Ridaz’ will have 14 tracks that include production by hit makers Tony Talk Box, Rob Williams, Mickaël and Simes “Nasty” Carter. Nasty, who has worked with both hip hop artists Baby Bash and Chingo Bling, produced standout tracks for the new album including “Do You Think About Me” and “DJ Turn It Up.”

Group member Zig Zag beams, “The ride never stops! Our music is the three of us at our best this time around. This one is for the fans who believed in the Ridaz movement throughout our career!” The first single, “Special Girl,” was produced by Tony Talk Box, who also put his magic on “Brand New,” and has been widely accepted by fans.

New Ridaz has just released their second single to radio titled “I.O.U.” for which a video will be shot shortly. This track is hott and will surely make an impact.

The New Ridaz album will hit stores October 10, 2006 and is self-titled, ‘New Ridaz’, this is one to check out.
