With the recent success of the E-40 and Keak Da Sneak, the Bay Area is set to introduce its next superstars. Meet Dem Hoodstarz! Comprised of group-members Band-Aide & Scoot, they are prepared to drop their SMC recordings debut, Band-Aide and Scoot, on September 12, 2006.

SMC Recordings stands as the Bay Area’s premier power-house label. They are the current recording home of such Hip Hop stars as Sann Quinn, Bulls With Fury, and Balance. The thriving label immediately took notice and signed Dem Hoodstarz to a joint venture deal.

Will Bronson, co-owner of SMC Recordings says, “Dem Hoodstarz are THE act everyone is looking for to break the Bay Area, Band-Aide & Scoot are the true definition of Hyphy. The album is further proof that we are ushering in the future of Hip Hop.”

Since the signing, Dem HoodStarz have kept busy pushing mix tapes, rocking arenas, launching their movie careers and having one of the top radio/club singles in their region with “Getz Your Grown Man On.”

Band-Aide & Scoot spared no expense when it came to production on the album, they enlisted legendary Bay Area producer E-A-Ski, as well as Traxamillion (”Super Hyphy”), and E-40’s son - Droop-e. “With Band-Aide & Scoot, we brought the ‘hood to the Hyphy movement,” says Band-Aide.

Band Aide and Scoot came together in 2004 and released Can’t Leave Rap Alone featuring Keak Da Sneak, which received serious recognition by San Francisco’s top Hip Hop station, 106 KMEL and became one of the most requested singles. This in turn helped Dem HoodStarz win the Best Rap Group Award at the 2004 Demo Fast Break.

Be sure to be on the look out for Dem HoodStarz taking over the rap game this fall with the release of Band-Aide & Scoot.
