Grammy Award-Winner Everlast Premieres New Video For “Little Miss America” Online With Yahoo Music


Grammy-winner EVERLAST has premiered his new video for “Little Miss America” online with Yahoo Music at http://yhoo.it/MiM0xC. The song is latest single from his new studio album “Songs of the Ungrateful Living”, which was released through Everlast’s own label Martyr Inc. Records, in partnership with EMI Music, and is available online at http://bit.ly/pCPSdX.

 

Although there have been albums in between, “Songs of the Ungrateful Living” is the spiritual follow-up to his 1998 breakthrough, the multi-platinum “Whitey Ford Sings the Blues”, an eclectic mix of rock, blues, country, pop and hip-hop, which topped the Billboard charts and sold more than 3 million copies on the strength of its crossover hit, “What It’s Like.” “Songs of the Ungrateful Living” lead single, “I Get By” has been hailed as an anthem for these troubled times, and prompted Vibe Magazine to proclaim, “On his sixth solo studio work the groundbreaking white MC is making a no-nonsense return-to-form.”

EVERLAST emerged as a member of Ice-T’s Rhyme Syndicate for his 1990 solo album, “Forever Everlasting” then formed the pioneering rap group House of Pain with friends DJ Lethal and Danny Boy. Signed to legendary dance and hip-hop label Tommy Boy Records, the group went multi-platinum with their self-titled 1992 debut which produced the legendary rap classic “Jump Around.”

In 2000 Everlast penned the song “Put Your Lights On” won a Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocal Grammy for his collaboration with Carlos Santana, “Put Your Lights On.” More recently, Everlast was recruited by Nancy Miller, creator and executive producer for the TNT series “Saving Grace,” starring Holly Hunter, to create the show’s theme song, for which EVERLAST was nominated for an EMMY.
