| BET J Viewers will "Enjoy" Slakah the Beatchild's World Premiere BBE Music recording artist Slakah the Beatchild's first US single "Enjoy ya Self", which has garnered much underground love globally from top DJ's, is now poised to take the US mainstream by storm with the video's world premiere on BET J's Soul Sessions on Monday June 22, 2009. The "Enjoy ya Self" video, conceptualized and directed by Slakah the Beatchild ("Slakah"), brings a nostalgic vibe of people having fun together, listening to vinyl records and genuinely enjoying great music. The recent appearance of "Enjoy ya Self", on hundreds of websites and blogs, led to major TV networks requesting it for immediate adds into their rotation. "BET J is the perfect venue for the network debut of "Enjoy ya Self" as their programming speaks to everything that the Soul Movement represents", said Slakah. "Enjoy ya Self" is the greatly anticipated debut single from Slakah's recently released CD Soul Movement Vol. 1. The heralded CD is currently being serviced to Urban AC radio across America. A versatile and gifted Producer, Musician and Performer, Slakah the Beatchild is being compared to Raphael Saadiq, infused with a little J Dilla. Slakah's concepts and music have been described as real, well-crafted, Electronic Soul mixed with a vintage analog sound. Reviews on Slakah's recent performance at the Soul Movement Vol 1 album release party in Toronto were outstanding with many Hip Hop/Urban music journalists touting Slakah the Beatchild as "next". The "Enjoy ya Self" world premiere can be seen on BET J on Monday June 22, 2009 at 5pm on Soul Sessions. Check your local listings.
