Independent Label Allido Records Announce New Developments, New Signings
and more!

=20

NYC visionaries Rich Kleiman and Mark Ronson are starting to see the
fruits of their labor, and what once was a dream for the childhood
friends is now becoming a reality. Allido Records, their joint venture,
is expanding the definition of a record label. Their inexhaustible
vision runs the gamut from artist development to music supervision to
talent booking to DJ management and more.  Allido's impressive artist
roster includes co-founder Mark Ronson, Ryhmefest, Daniel Merriweather
and newest signing, DC hot shot rapper, Wale. Located at the historical
Mercer St. studio in NYC, the spot has spawned such classic albums as
Midnight Marauders  by A Tribe Called Quest, King Of Rock by Run DMC and
demos for Norah Jones, Come Away With Me. The place seemingly has a
touch of luck, and in just under 4 years, Ronson and Kleiman have found
Allido Records as no exception.

Currently ruling the roost is co-founder Mark Ronson. Ronson has just
released one of the critically acclaimed records of the year, entitled
Version via Allido/RCA on July 10th. His first single, "Stop Me,"
featuring labelmate Daniel Merriweather shot to #2 on the charts in the
UK, and is receiving heavy rotations Stateside.  In addition to
Version's great success, Ronson produced two of the hottest new artists
of the past 18 months, recording songs on the debuts of Lily Allen and
Amy Winehouse. Even Bob Dylan picked up on his talent and asked Ronson
to remix a song for his Greatest Hits record.

Aside from Ronson, Allido's first signing in conjunction with J Records
was Chicago hip-hop artist Rhymefest, who went on to win a Grammy award
for his Kanye West collaboration on the hit song, "Jesus Walks."  Big
things are also expected from Australian singer, Daniel Merriweather.
The label duo immediately recognized Daniel's talents and brought
Merriweather in front of legendary industry visionary, Clive Davis,
where he was snapped up for a J Records/Allido joint deal. Wale is next
in line for a success story. Already scoring one million Myspace hits,
Wale (wah-lay) is pegged to be the first rapper to ever break out of the
DC area. Ronson has brought Wale on tour with him and the response from
industry and fans has been unequivocally enthusiastic.

Aside from their victories at selling records, Allido has garnered a
reputation for developing and nurturing their artists from their
inception. Utilizing Kleiman and Ronson's experience and connections in
the industry, they are able cross-market their artists with a variety of
ventures in the entertainment community, most notably through their
great achievement in music supervision. Allido has teamed up with one of
the most recognized brands in the nation, Hard Rock Hotels, who gave
Allido the green light to give their music programming a complete
makeover. In addition, Hard Rock asked the label to create a compilation
CD called Mark Ronson Presents Hard Rock; debuting last month, the
compilation will be sold at the hotels, hard rock.com and specialty
stores. It doesn't stop there, though: in addition to their ventures
with Hard Rock, Allido Records music supervises on average 15-20 shows
per year with networks such as MTV, VH1 and ABC. Allido's credits
include, breakout films Half Nelson, Fade To Black (Jay-Z) and Prime.
One can find Allido's artists music in films, TV shows, video games and
commercials.=20

=20

As we continue to see the music industry evolve and move in directions
that never existed before, Allido is proving themselves as bold creative
thinkers and businessmen. What's next for Rich Kleiman and Mark Ronson?
Expect ingenuity and magnitude.     =20
