ATLANTA, GA, October 15, 2010 (Press-News.org) After two years and almost one hundred thousand dollars later, Atlanta's own hip hop artist, Seven "Digit" Hughes lands a deal with the leading company in independent music, E1 (formally KOCH Entertainment)/Royal Bloodline Records.
Over the past few weeks, there have been negotiations between several labels and self managed rapper, "Digit" battled as to who to sign with. The business mogul and entertainer found himself in what he called, "A silent auction" between two local independent hip hop labels and prominent industry giant, E1 Entertainment (formally KOCH Entertainment) via Royal Bloodline Records. "They all seemed to have their advantages. But at the end of the day, when a giant like E1 comes your way and they're willing to come to terms that you're good with, how could I say no?" Says Digit.
Music isn't all that occupies his mind. Seven is the founder of the Campaign for the Arts, a national initiative to keep the arts in schools. He also sits on the board of directors for the Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes Foundation as well.
Born in Brooklyn, NY and raised in South Carolina, Seven Hughes, a.k.a. "Digit" was introduced to the entertainment industry as a young child. At the age of three, he was making his mark in modeling and acting. As a pre-teen, he thrilled locals popping to Michael Jackson on the streets of New York.
For Digit, life was more complicated than just dancing and acting. It was a hustle and grind. As a product of a single parent home, he was forced to come up with creative ways to make money to provide himself the pleasures of a "normal" teenager. At age 14 he landed his first job working in the music industry for the South Carolina Record Pool (SCRP), where he learned the ins and outs of the business. That same year, he started a graphic design/printing business (www.7thwonder.com), which still exists today. Digit's been a Boss since his youth.
After the years and sweat he has put into his craft, it was no surprise to his fans when Digit announced on FaceBook and Twitter this past weekend that the deal with E1/Royal Bloodline Records was being signed. "I've had tunnel vision for the past 27 months. I have obsessed about my craft. I've lived it all day, every day," says Digit. "Something within me said that my day would come with this project," he goes on to say. His first mix-tape, The Alter Ego & The Summer of Sum is set to drop this October.
Digit is scheduled to perform for the first time since being signed to E1/Royal Bloodline Records and will also be celebrating the signing on November 13th, 2010 at the Apache Cafe in Atlanta, GA. Doors open at 7pm and his performance will begin at 7:30pm.
