Rapper Wale is collaborating with Muve Music to celebrate his new album, "Ambition". The self-proclaimed "Ambassador of Rap for the Capital," Washington, D.C.-based rapper Wale was able to transcend his local sensation status and become a national rap contender using go-go-inspired hip-hop as the vehicle for his lyricism and clever wordplay. In addition to having his new album in the Muve Music catalog, Wale will promote his music, his hometown of Washington D.C. and the Muve First program through a series of eight exclusive social media blasts to his many fans that can be followed at http://www.twitter.com/cricketnation and www.facebook.com/cricketwireless. In addition, Pusha T has partnered with Muve Music to launch his album, "Fear Of God II: Let Us Pray" one week early, exclusively available to Muve Music customers. Beginning November 1st through November 8th, Muve Music subscribers will have access to the album before any other digital music service. The release's first single "My God," is a perfect example of Pusha's sharp-tongued & versatile lyricism, full of energetic punch lines and eloquently woven storytelling. The video for the second single "Trouble On My Mind" featuring Tyler, The Creator (produced by The Neptunes) has received over 3.5 Million YouTube views from Pusha T's hip hop fans.

Muve Music subscribers can also enjoy Muve Headliner Daughtry's album this month. Daughtry has participated with Muve Music and performed in select Best Buy stores and Grammy events during the month of October. On Nov. 21, Multi-platinum rock band Daughtry will release its highly anticipated third album "Break The Spell" - five years to the day that the band released its self-titled 5x-platinum debut. This month's A-list artist is a band that has scored four number one hits, garnered four Grammy nominations, sold over seven million albums and played sold out concerts around the world in less than four years.
