SEATTLE, WA...September 22, 2009...Today hip-hop extraordinaire, KJ-52, releases his newest adventure, "Five-Two Television," on BEC Recordings. This being one of his most ambitious projects to date, it features a massive 24 track-listing (24 tracks mirroring 24 hours in a day) as well as a star-studded list of guest appearances.

(Cross Movement Records "Calling You"), Braille ("Headline News at 11"), Da T.R.U.T.H (Cross Movement, "Swagged Out With Tags Out"), Manwell and Blanca Reyes of Group 1 Crew ("Firestarter") and Funky ("Fuego").
A project filled with many "channels," KJ-52 engages his fans with a four-act spoken-word biography, a free "mix" tape with purchase of the CD, and much more. KJ-52 has always been about sharing the Gospel and diving into Bible Studies with his fans, and this album is no different showcasing his heart for the youth. You can check out his "Firestarter" Bible studies here http://www.kj52podcast.com/.
