Shout outs and Announcements

I'll be posting a big update today, but first I want to give some very overdue thanks to Prohiphop and Kobayashi 5 for linking since the re-launch of Strictly Business. That said, I'll have some new services to announce following todays posts.

Brand and Product Forecast: Automotive

Some of the vehicles you can expect in videos this year:

The Bentley Spur:


The drop-top version of the Bentley GT, the GTC:

The Maserati Quattroporte:

The Lincoln Zephyr:The GL Class, a new SUV from Mercedes:

The redesigned S-Class, also from Mercedes:

The Chrysler Imperial, already nicknamed 'the poor man's Phantom'. I supsect its just a matter of time before Chrysler gives us a Phantom-styled SUV:

Bentley and Imperial pics from autoblog, Mercedes pics from emercedesbenz.com

Brand and Product Forecast: Electronics

I should have posted my predictions a few months ago, but better late than never. Here are some of the toys I expect to see popping up in videos this year:

The PEBL and SLVR from Motorola: It would be wise for Motorola to capitalize on its RAZR-generated momentum to push these new product lines.
Smartphones: My picks in this category are the Blackberry 8700 series, the 650 and 700 series Treos from Palm, and a continued deluge of models from Nokias N-series.
The highly aniticipated Sidekick III: Celebrity seeding for the the recently FCC approved model should be starting in late summer, according to this roadmap. Based on the the most current album promotion info I have, Im expecting it to debut in a video for Busta, Fab, TI, or some someone from the G-Unit roster.

Side Hustles

Some recent endorsement deals and brand extensions in hip hop and r & b:
Russell Simmons has a development deal with HBO.

Jadakiss endorses Bada Bing cigars.

Snoop has new deals for a book series and movie.

Funkmaster Flex will be endorsing Cooper Tires. Oddly, the TV commercials for this campaign will feature rock music.

LL Cool J has a fitness book dropping this January. Im sure there will be plenty of Todd Smith athletic apparel featured. An accompanying workout DVD and/or mixtape would really enhance this deal. Some cross promotional deals with an energy drink brand and a national fitness club wouldn't hurt, either.

Ne-Yo has a digital content deal with Coca-Cola, while Def Jam labelmate Mariah will be recording ringtones for Pepsi.
