C. Weinbren Inks Production Deal With Hit-A-Lik

2010-08-29T22:09:00.001-07:00

Hit-A-Lik Entertainment Chief Executive Officer Charles "Charlie" Buko confirmed that C. Weinbren (pictured above) has inked an exclusive (and lucrative) production contract with "The 'Lik."

Weinbren (22) a Piano prodigy turned Electro/Synth-Pop producer has impressive credentials to say the least.

His genius recognized at a young age; Weinbren was enrolled in New York City's elite Professional Children's School where his classmates included Mischa Barton, Scarlett Johansson and Pong Pong Gong.

At 15 Weinbren composed a classical piece inspired by 9/11 that was featured for review in The New York Times.

By 18 he received a full scholarship to SUNY Purchase (White Plains NY). Though quickly recognized as the "crown jewel" of the University's prestigious Jazz Conservatory he exited the program after his sophomore year.

Weinbren's versatility overwhelming him he switched majors to Studio Composition. Under the tutelage of Conservatory Director Jim Mcelwain (teacher of Regina Spektor and Moby) Weinbren began composing hip-hop, jazz, reggae, alternative, classical, and pop.

Playing with Charlie Phillips (myspace.com/charliephillipsonline), Under The Rasta Influence (myspace.com/undertherastainfluence) and Jennifer Donnelly (myspace.com/jenniferdonnellymusic) as well as studying with Grammy Award winner Arturo O'Farrill and great Jazz pianist Charles Blenzig Weinbren became well known as an incredible talent. Though he'd yet to find a project he truly believed could top the charts. Until...

Weinbren is quoted:

"The combination of Trap Like Me (The Mixtape) and The Charles Buko EP inspired me. I realized that if I molded universal instrumentals for Charlie he could have worldwide commercial viability. I became fascinated with bridging worlds of hip-hop and electro. I approached Charlie with a Space Cowboy remix for 'Talking In Your Sleep' and he completely nailed it. The response to the record was universally positive and I realized this could be a full album."

Details regarding the deal between Weinbren and "The 'Lik" are scarce at best. It has been confirmed that Weinbren is under exclusive contract and is also being actively managed by Buko. Further verified are reports that the two are in the process of creating a joint house album described as "electro-synth-rap."

The project is rumored to be titled "Sexual Mania."

Hit-A-Lik Entertainment Chief Executive Officer Charles "Charlie" Buko confirmed the first single off his (yet to be titled) next album will be produced by Johnny Arcade.

Executive Bailout

2010-01-25T20:04:00.000-08:00

Rumors swirled Monday that Charles "Charlie" Buko (AKA C-Hust / AKA The Young Mayer Hawthorne) has effectively stepped down as Chief Executive Officer of Hit-A-Lik Entertainment.

Initial reports indicate that Hit-A-Lik Vice President (and Chief Financial Officer) would be in line to take over the Executive duties.

It has long been rumored that Hit-A-Lik VP's have been in control of "day to day" operations, but these most recent rumors of Buko stepping down came as a surprise to many. Speculation is that Buko is in some way dissatisfied with the direction the company has taken / is taking.

Even if he was not in control of "day to day" operations most are of the opinion that Buko would have little to gain stepping down (as the C.E.O. position does come with great clout and prestige).

Buko was not available for comment but released this statement:

"I congratulate Darryl (Young Frizz) on his release and welcome him home . . . the recordings he have been making are incredible and I look forward to promoting his marketing his project . . . "

When asked if he was stepping down as C.E.O. Buko responded simply:

"You made that up."

Shortly afterward Buko revealed there is to be a second meeting with Universal Music Group Senior Vice President Avery Lipman at "some point in the near future."

If that weren't enough it seems the young executive has successfully come to terms with talent manager KD Wilson of Czar Entertainment.

"I saw him first..." said Wilson.

Sources close to "The 'Lik" have been quoted as saying O'Brien is "in control of day to day operations."

Buko projected otherwise:

I'm runnin' this, like (like, like) a circus. I have already begun work on the next single off the album...it's called "I'll Trick If She A Dime Piece."

As Hit-A-Lik Entertainment Chief Execuitve Officer Charles "Charlie" Buko prepares for his meeting at Universal Music Group it has become clear Millions will no longer be able to conceal his affiliation with "The 'Lik."

Reason being; Buko is rumored to be closing the same "Spring Fling" music festival (Hartford University April 25th 2009) Pharrell Williams and NERD (Millions' current employers) are Headlining.

"We're not going out of our way to do anything crazy..." said Buko.

Hit-A-Lik Chief Financial Officer Johnny "Paper Chase" O'Brien refused to comment on the video of Hit-A-Lik Chief Executive Officer Charles Buko (AKA "C-Hust") which has reportedly surfaced.

Sources tell hitalik.blogspot after being told to kill the "Trap Like Me" project a video surfaced showing Buko doing quite the opposite.

Rumor has John O'Brien (at one point may have) told Buko he'd "step down" from The 'Lik entirely. Sources revealed Buko (who has been a "positive thinking kick lately") was understandably shaken up by O'Brien's admission.

Buko remained cautiously optimistic...
"My confidence in the Trap Like Me project has never waivered. Sometimes you have to push things to the brink of extinction before than can be cultivated...Free Frizz."

"Certainly by the second quarter of 2009" said the young executive. "Hit-A-Lik Europe...No homo."

Rest In Peace MC Breed

2008-11-23T15:43:00.001-08:00

How Long Will They Mourn Me?

Flint Rap Legend MC Breed (pictured right with Tupac Shakur) found at a friends home in Ypsilanti this weekend; dead at 36.

"Breed was a HUGE influence" said Buko. "I can remember lip-synching to Ain't No Future In Your Frontin' in the mirror, when I was like 14. He was a HERO. I was a fan of Tupac, so for Breed to have songs with Pac? That was crazy! NOBODY from Michigan had songs with Pac. Later on when we came up I knew people who knew him and chilled with him. I'd always hear he was around Ann Arbor, The D, The Y. Even though I never met him personally Hit-A-Lik is forever in debt to Breed. Pour out a little liquor."

Obama Endorses Hit-A-Lik

Hit-A-Lik Chief Security Engineer (name withheld for reasons sensitive to National Security) pictured far right with Barack Obama.

"Safety first" said Hit-A-Lik Chief Executive Officer Charles "Charlie" Buko.

Regarding the anonymous security engineer: "Brilliant is an understatement, we're very fortunate to have him on the team."

With Respect to Obama's "endorsement" Buko was sketchy at best. "No comment" he said "stop trying to get me in trouble."

Hardly astonishing Mr. Buko fancies himself avoiding "trouble." He nearly got arrested on his way home from Manhattan. Rumor has it police forced him off a Long Island Rail Road train (in Valley Stream) around 5:00am last Sunday Morning.

After (allegedly) kissing an unnamed female "friend" on the lips, the young Executive fled a Soho club for Garden City only to fall asleep on the train and wake up in Long Beach.

Trap Like Me

As www.youtube.com/hitalikentertainment closes in on 17,000 total views Hit-A-Lik Chief Executive Officer Charles "Charlie" Buko (pictured above on MTV with Cipha Soundz of Hot97) finds himself in hot water again this week.

It appears Buko recorded on a Drew Money beat that had not been authorized for use. Sources told hitalik.blogspot "Andy was very upset, he said John was wilding."

Drew Money's short temper isn't surprising. After the "Killa-Gate" scandal (for explanation of "Killa-Gate" e-mail hitalik@gmail.com) it's completely understandable that the young producer would have a zero tolerance policy for this sort of behavior.

"I can niether confirm or deny the reports about the beat story, if anything did happen It was a very simple mis-understanding" said Buko.

"Even in a hypothetical scenario in which a beat was stolen I'm sure John made an honest mistake and it will not happen again...everything is under control, Andy is well compensated for all his work, his wrist is flooded with diamonds this is a bunch of gossip."

Buko seemed calm considering he was hit by a car in Long Island Tuesday morning. "My injuries appear to be minor, thank god, I think I'm just a little bruised."

Diamondz In My Watch Face

2008-10-06T20:58:00.000-07:00

Hit-A-Lik Chief Financial Officer Johnny "Paper Chase" O'Brien refused to comment on Hit-A-Lik Chief Executive Officer Charles "Charlie" Buko's trip to Miami last weekend.

Multi-Platinum producer (and Hit-A-Lik in-house production contributor) Drew Money was quoted off the record saying Buko recorded his "catchiest hook."

Details of the session (and/or sessions) are being kept under tight wraps. South Beach Studios verified Buko booked (and utilized) time on Saturday October 4. Otherwise; little is known.

Hit-A-Lik Fun Fact:
South Beach Studios is located inside Miami's Hotel Marlin. Famous songs recorded there include Jay-Z's "Blue Magic" and C-Hust's "Diamonds In My Watch Face."

Jessica Simpson endorses Hit-A-Lik

2008-09-03T15:52:00.001-07:00

Hit-A-Lik affiliate T. Buhr (A.K.A. "the head turner like Ted Turner") refused to comment on what he was doing with Jessica Simpson. Some reports have Buhr and Simpson on a date. Others have Buhr negotiating a collaboration between Simpson and Hit-A-Lik Entertainment.

Buhr's role in "the 'Lik" has always been a source of curiosity. While he has never held an official title within the organization, (there is a perspective that Buhr would be "above" such a thing) his face has appeared on multiple Hit-A-Lik event flyers.

Since Buhr refused comment, hitalik.blogspot.com sought out Hit-A-Lik C.E.O. Charles Buko to see if he couldn't shed some light on the situation. "I think Jessica's just a little jealous, you need to go ask Ryan Mallet."

Luke Wilson to play John O'Brien in C-Hust life story film

Money May Endorses Hit-A-Lik

2008-08-24T19:09:00.001-07:00

When Hit-A-Lik Chief Financial Officer (and Senior Vice President) John O'Brien (pictured far left) said he "bumped into" Floyd Mayweather this weekend in Las Vegas...he meant it.

"Money May" brushed shoulders with the young executive on his way out of the Palazzo, O'Brien recognized the champ and they began conversing.

Once Pretty Boy Floyd became privy to multi-platinum producer (and Hit-A-Lik in house production contributor) Drew Money's affiliation with "The 'Lik" he told O'Brien "wait here one second, I want to talk business with you."

Apparently by "talk business" Mayweather meant "come back with two white Caddillac Escalades and a yellow Lamborghini Murcielago" because Pretty Boy Floyd returned with full crew, two white Cadillac Escalades and a yellow Lamborghini Murcielago.

A possible collaboration may be in the works.

Asked "Was it really Floyd Mayweather?" O'Brien responded:
"Look at his watch it's huge, it's the size of his head...I mean really zoom in on it there are blue diamonds and canary diamonds and all kinds of crazy shit."

Hit-A-Lik World Tour

Larson, Pharrell Williams (pictured left), Chad Hugo and the rest of the N.E.R.D. team arrived at Old Trafford football stadium in Greater Manchester (UK). Also known as the "Theatre Of Dreams" Old Trafford football stadium is home to the famous Manchester United football franchise.

Hit-A-Lik Entertainment Chief Execuive Officer Charles "Charlie" Buko playfully evaded speculation that hitalik.blogspot.com (at least of late) has been a lot about N.E.R.D. and not so much about Hit-A-Lik . "I'm not concerned with the haters" said Buko "I do not authorize that...nor do I condone diffusion of responsibility within proprietors of that sort."

Miss Teen Canada Signs To Hit-A-Lik

2008-08-13T09:55:00.000-07:00

Hit-A-Lik Entertainment Chief Executive Officer Charles "Charlie" Buko confirmed reports Wednesday that Miss Teen Canada has signed to Hit-A-Lik. "Mikey Millions met her in Montreal" Buko said "I guess they were getting along (because) he threw the idea out and she went for it."

Many have been shocked and confused by this revalation. Mikey Millions was not available for comment but released this statement: "It's not about Treetown, it's about Miss Teen Canada, Hit-A-Lik, and the future of rap music."

Rumors are Miss Teen Canada will lend vocals to tracks, or function as spokesperson. Either way Hit-A-Lik Chief Financial Officer (and Senior Vice President) John O'Brien was not aware of his labels newest "signing" when we notified him. "What?" said O'Brien.

O'Brien made no further comment. He was too busy dialing Buko on his Blackberry and I Phone simultaneously as he exited Hit-A-Lik's South Beach Offices.

Hit-A-Lik Entertainment Chief Executive Officer Charles "Charlie" Buko dodged the chance to confirm rumors his next solo album will be produced exclusively by Drew Money (and recorded on South Beach). "Hit-A-Lik has recently presented me with some new contractual options" said Buko "our label is multi-talented and we have a great deal of depth."

Amidst speculation Buko (seen above in one of an apparently limitless number of photographs with Dana Harris) is washed up and done for, a great deal of anticipation surrounds his upcoming solo effort. Specifically regarding reports the album will be produced exclusively by Drew Money. C-Hust's most recent release "Michigania Stunt Or Die" (The Mixtape) was well recieved but according to many under-promoted.

Hit-A-Lik Entertainment Chief Executive Officer Charles "Charlie" Buko was a guest of honor at the N.E.R.D. performance this past Tuesday (at Santos Party House) in Manhattan. The young executive was joined on stage by Swizz Beatz, Jermaine Dupri, and Pusha T.

Questions surround the "Treetown" production/engineering team (composed of Larson and Drew Money) that was behind such a great number of Hit-A-Lik recordings. With Drew Money in Miami, Larson on world tour, the entire artist roster in Detroit and Buko doing god knows what comments on the "State of the Lik" have been few and far between.

"Everything is great, we are happy for Mike and Drew Money" said Buko.

Buko went on to comment further (as he appeared to be in very good spirits) "we anxiously await the return of all our affiliates when the time is right...the release of Young Frizz will be a landmark in our label history and we look forward to it."

Also of note was Buko's watch, the face of which was studded with a dozen diamonds.
