Press Release Summary = "For the first eighteen years of my life I have been trying
to escape this city. I never wanted to live a life of poverty, lack and limitation.
I made a promise to myself at a very young age that I would escape Trenton. Did I
keep that promise? Absolutely not! I am Trenton. The everyday hustle, the will to
do better, and my resilience all comes from Trenton."

(Real-hiphop Books)


Press Release Body = Trenton, New Jersey - January 2006 - On Friday, January 13,
2006, Dashawn Taylor, BET's Ultimate Hustler finalist and co-founder of
Real-hiphop.com, will speak to the youth of Mercer County's Capital Corridor
Community Development Corporation, Inc., on the importance of dreaming big and
working hard. He will also be on hand to sign copies of his recently released book,
From Poverty to Power Moves: The True Story, which tells the story of his road to
success and provides the new generation of entrepreneurs with tips on how to be
successful. The event will take place at 5:30 p.m. in the lower auditorium of
Shiloh Baptist Church, 340 Rev. Dr. S. Howard Woodson Jr. Way, Trenton.

Taylor, who has lived in various sections of the city, is no stranger to addressing
Trenton's youth. In late November, he spoke to teens at the Boys & Girls Club, and
in early December to young people at the Martin House, a program that he was active
in as a youth.

The Rutgers grad has been praised in the Trenton Times and the Trentonian as being a
positive and crucial role model for the area's youth. After hearing him speak at
the Martin House, Dwayne Everett, 17, a high school senior from Hancock Street said,
"He inspired me." Dayshawn Rowell, 17, of North Olden Avenue insisted, "He gave us
some good ideas on protecting our dreams and telling us to always go forward."

Taylor, who has achieved his success honestly and with strong ethics, is co-founder
of Real-hiphop.com, a popular online hip-hop magazine that reaches over 10 million
users worldwide in 120 different countries. Due to the success of the Website, he
and his business partner Kyle "New" Newsome, launched the print version,
Real-hiphop.com::The Magazine.

The New Jersey native was a recent finalist on BET's Ultimate Hustler hosted by
Damon Dash. "The show gave me an opportunity to not only promote my businesses and
elevate my profile, but it gave me a chance to learn first hand what it takes to be
the best CEO I can be," says Taylor.
