Press Release Summary: FINALLY, A NETWORK THAT REWARDS ITS MEMBERS FOR BEING
THERE--ARTISTS, DJS, GRINDERS (SUPPORTERS) GET SPOTLIGHTED, WHILE BEING APART OF THE
COMMUNITY

Press Release Body: WWW.GrindModeConnect.com is the new entertainment music social
networking website portal that dubs itself as "a place where true grinder's roam."
"Everyone is always saying that they're grindin' (working hard) or are on their
grind, so it was only fitting that we created a community that catered to those who
work hard-musicians and music supporters looking to vibe with like-minded people.
We also assure you that we are not trying to be like any other social networking
outfit, as they already have their respective niche, but we are, however, looking to
unify the masses of artists and "grindin'" folks that want to hang out in a place
designed especially for them," stated Kenyetta McKinney, founder of the networking
community.

Grind Mode Connect (.com), created and built from scratch, is an upgraded, more
powerful and robust version of their former urban portal, Grind-mode.com. A site
created back in 2003 that featured many mainstream and underground musicians, as
well as DJs, by spotlighting them with write-ups, giving them music resources and
life inspirations. The site is also owned by Grind Mode Media, LLC, the company
that also owns popular digital urban magazine, Grind Mode Magazine. "We are
innovators in urban digital new media, because we have been doing a lot of
groundbreaking things online-long before the notions were even popular. We'd housed
our print-like publication online years ago, and really continually believe that the
evolution of the WWW will be the only effective universal communications mechanism
in the future. Even before the digital magazine, we created, manually, e-mail
newsletters, before people were able to find them online, and were asking us to
design their e-mail newsletters, so we have been trendsetters in our thought process
of how powerful the Internet is to unite the masses," McKinney verbalized.

Key features of the website in additional to blogging, generous music uploading
(legal music uploads from musicians), photos, video uploads (legal video uploads
from the artists and for fun-only videos from music supporters), emailing,
commenting (shout out) on friends, or in this case, grinder's profiles, is an
individual chat room and forum, for each user to connect more extensively with their
network of grinders/friends, right from their page. Grind Mode Connect (.com) also
has a battleground video section, where underground artists & DJs will be able to
'duke it out' via video, and be voted on by its peers, and have a chance to win cool
prizes-one of them being a feature in Grind Mode Magazine. As well, the site will
continue to empower and enlighten just as the site before it, by offering artists
and 'family' of the site, music resources to help them in their musical and life
quests, with their commentaries (referred to as edutorials) and music knowledge.
Setting up a profile is 100% FREE on Grind Mode Connect (.com), and those who are in
'grind mode,' are encouraged to come and network in a place where their hard working
work ethics will be noticed, because the site is featuring a lot of artists on the
website in their bi-weekly publication, and reviewing their music.
