FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:?? Blues/rocker guitarist extraordinaire Wayne Baker Brooks has gathered some of the biggest names and talent in Chicago music for his revolutionary new single, “Something’s Going Down”. The genre-bending track features artists Twista (Perfect Storm, Adrenaline Rush, Kamikaze), GLC (Love, Life, & Loyalty, Grammy recipient for Kanye West tracks “Spaceship’’ and “Drive Slow’’), and Sugar Blue (Rolling Stones’ “Miss You’’).

Brooks, is transforming both modern music and the Blues. “So much of what’s out there sounds the same,’’ says Brooks. “I wanted to create something different and something undeniable with my music.” The result is a unique fusion of heavy Chicago Blues, Blues Rock, Soul and Rap/Hip-Hop that could be dubbed its own cultural movement.

The concept of fusing real Chicago Blues with Rap/Hip-Hop had been brewing in his head for a few years. He met Eve on the set of the movie, “Barber Shop.’’ She offered to get involved in the project, but a fateful meeting with Aerosmith, Kid Rock and Run-DMC on September 14^th at the Alpine Valley Music Theatre in 2002 changed everything. “Jam Master Jay took the idea seriously,” says Brooks. “He liked the idea so much he wanted me to come to New York to work on it. That’s when I knew I was onto something big.”

Brooks sees the song as the start of something radically different in the music business, something that expands the range of Rap/Hip Hop and gives a jolt of fresh air to the Blues, which needs to appeal to younger audiences if it’s going to survive.
