NZ Hip Hop's #1 star Savage and Dawn Raid Music are in a 4 way bidding war for Savage in the US. The 4 labels bidding for his services following the success of "Swing" in the US are: TVT (Home to Lil Jon, Pitbull, Ying Yang Twins), Koch Records (Diplomats, TS, UNK, Ray J), Konvict/ Interscope (Akon, T-Pain) & Universal Republic (Home to Amy Winehouse, Jack Johnson, Damian Marley & Shop Boys)

In an amazing turn of events Dawn Raid Entertainment launched Savage's debut album "Moonshine" on iTunes in the US 4 weeks ago to appease fans who have been demanding his music ever since it appeared in #1 box office smash "Knocked Up". Since it's release 4 weeks ago "Swing" has sold over 50,000 units in the US and has climbed as high as #14 on the US top 100 hip hop songs.

Stay tuned for an announcement this week on where Savage & Dawn Raid will sign the deal.
