The Red Planet Records’ CEO premiers his debut label release in the wake of the murders of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and countless others, Barone recounts his experience at his hometown’s protest, in the predominantly white, and notoriously racist south shore of Staten Island, NY, where Facebook groups and twitter rants of scared soccer moms, armed police officers, and more threatened the security of the protest, and the lives of those present.
Upon releasing a promotional video for their upcoming “NYC x BOSTON” performance in Staten Island, NY on Mar 1st, some Jordan Barone and Eddy I. fans noticed a beat that may have sounded familiar. Recently, the two have documented their time in the studio together on social media, and if you were paying attention, you may have realized you have heard the beat on their Instagram stories before. It’s a subtle hint, but the beat comes at about 0:53 in the promotional video, while the flyer for the event displays. There are no present lyrics, but Barone and Mr. I. (along with Red Planet C.E.O., Stefan Barone) have hinted at the #PlanetSalsa (a play on the Red Planet Records and Team Salsa brands associated with each act) collaboration. Fans have yet to know if #PlanetSalsa is a single track, or will be a full project in the future, but the show may feature the song.
On Thursday, June 21st, 2018, Staten Island artist and music business professional, Jordan Barone, releases his debut single, “Same Thing” followed by his debut EP, “Midnight Conversation” in September 2018, on Red Planet Records, LLC. Both serve as premier releases for the award-winning artist and the Staten Island, NY independent record label.
