The High Definition Music Card - Bring Your Own Live Performance With You!


What if someone told you that you could now carry live-performance quality music in your pocket?



Allow me to introduce the High Definition Music Card - a thin, portable device that comes in a USB format. The device was created by Alexander Goldberg Jero, the first winner of the Surround Sound Music Award in 2002. The music card was released with Mozart's Requiem on file.



The High Definition Music Card brings the experience of hearing a live performance to our daily devices. Jero explained that using the Music Card to listen to music is analogous to watching an IMAX movie in theaters as opposed to watching the same movie on your phone.



Compatibility is also a top priority of the High Definition Music Card. It allows the users to sync music between with multiple devices such as desktops, laptops, smartphones, headphones, blu-ray players, etc.



The HD Music Card is tipped to be the newest format for music lovers around the globe, and now we just have to wait for the releasing announcement!

Masta Mix Records Announces The New Album A Decade In The Mix 2002-2012 From Traum

The new Album is the 2nd release from the Far Rockaway, NY rapper, and features his past material from 2002-2012 featuring Cormega, Rapper Noyd, Killa Sha and KL of Screwball. It also includes production by Traum, Ayatollah and many more.

Traum exudes an authentic essence of spitting a verse about living life in the grimy streets of Far Rockaway Queens, how one survives the struggle, and making one's dreams a reality. Bringing back the familiar flavor of fluidly spoken hip hop is what Traum does best, as he now pushes through the walls of the underground to shine in the mainstream while keeping it real and distinctive.

"A Decade In The Mix 2002-2012" will be available December 26, 2017 on iTunes and stores everywhere.

Traum founded Masta Mix Records and Masta Labs Studio "I know the game; I have the energy and execution and discipline. With my own label, I can focus on putting out good music and show my love for hip hop without waiting for a major label to notice my determination and skills." And, with that stated, Masta Mix Records has flourished into a life of its own. Masta Mix Records has become one of a few only commercially successful Indie Record Labels in the world.

This album is just to display some of my classic joints from the past accordinig to Traum.

Traum the authentic essence of spitting a verse about living life in the grimy streets and how one survives the struggle and how your dreams are now tangible are fluidly spoken by undergrounds hip hop sensation Traum. Bringing back the familiar flavor of hip hop, Traum narrates about his life growing up in the streets of New York to living a flashy lifestyle and fast money. New York, Big City of Dreams, as it’s often called, correlates perfectly with tantalizing lyrics.
