Since OntoHollywood is all about untapped Youtube, MySpace talent and Music 2.0 tools that are used to help artists gain exposure, it was only appropriate to take a short time out and review the “godfather of hip-hop,” Russell Simmons’ latest book: Do You!. Russell Simmons came from the toughest parts of New York City streets to create the legendary Def Jam Records, fashionable Phat Farm, and oh-so-popular Def Comedy Jam. This CEO of hip-hop has just recently released the book “Do You,” that teaches readers to succeed without losing themselves in the process. He uses inspiring examples from famous artists such as Jay-Z to Kanye West. Russell teaches that by tapping into your innerself and keeping focus, it is possible to achieve anything. As IceT says, “he has gone through all the things that you’ve gone through.” A must read for all inspiring artists and producers.
