May 5, 2009 - Los Angeles, CA - SHYAN SELAH'S first single, "HOLLYWOOD BLVD," has been officially named #1 on both RapNetwork Record Breakers Top 30 and RapAttackLives.com Top 30 urban college radio charts.

Hip Hop pioneer, NASTY NES, creator of RapAttackLives.com issued the following statement:

"It's GREAT to see Independent Hip Hop get their props as College Rap Radio shows some love this week to Brave New World's artist, Shyan Selah, whose debut, "Hollywood Blvd," hits the #1 chart position on both the RAP ATTACK and RAP NETWORK Top 30 chart!"

JON STOCKTON, VP of Music for Brave New World, Inc. (BNW) says while going number one at college radio is great, it's still just the beginning of what people can expect to see from BNW.

"It is the first in a series of steps needed to get our artist, SHYAN SELAH, and BRAVE NEW WORLD RECORDS where we need to be - on top!" Stockton says. "Big ups to Nasty Nes, and all the college djs for banging our record! We are about to shoot our first video, with a ridiculous viral campaign, along with going after the streets, and radio mix show. I think we are going to open a lot of eyes, and surprise a lot of folks who don't know who we are yet. Get used to us because we ain't going nowhere."

The song has been steadily growing in popularity since it was featured on the CBS/Paramount drama NUMB3RS last May and drove Shyan's MySpace total play numbers over the ONE MILLION MARK, receiving over 200,000 plays alone. In March the song was rated #4 out of the top 5 most added songs to urban college radio and has steadily worked its way up each week to officially hit the #1 spot this week.

About "Hollywood Blvd"
Shyan Selah's lyrical descriptions of a young starlet's celebrity life keep the listener's mind jumping from image to image while their body stays moving to the sounds of club-thumping beats and a screaming electric guitar courtesy of Dave "Davo" Foreman (Aaliyah, Anthony Hamilton, Snoop Dogg) and the background vocals of R'ielle Paul (daughter of Alan Paul from the Grammy Award-winning group Manhattan Transfer.)

With a Dirty South remix, dance remix and rock remix getting ready to hit the web along with a Japan and UK version featuring a very special guest, once again, Shyan is out to prove that while his special brand of music is meant to uplift the streets, it goes beyond them to circle the globe.
