A MESSAGE WHOSE TIME HAS COME: Pull Your Pants Up!

Dooney Da Priest Ignites a Movement By Putting Popular Street Fashion on Full Blast With Hit Single

(September 4, 2008)

*Dallas, TX -- Dallas rapper Dooney Da Priest had enough. He took all he could stand until he couldn't stand it anymore. So he pulled his pants up, buckled his belt and penned a song that is the anthem of a new movement ... Pull Your Pants Up!

Pull Your Pants Up! Is the title of Dooney's new CD and hit single of the same name from Malaco Records that has caught the attention of politicians, the press, radio programmers, playas and everyday people, here and abroad.

With hard hitting lyrics ("Saggin' is the N-word spelled backwards") an unforgettable hook, mad flow and a hot, crunchy track, Pull Your Pants Up! has ignited a movement among youth culture around the world.

Dooney has been spreading his gospel from the Dr. Phil Show to the BBC. Dooney Da Priest nee Duwayne Brown, has spent years honing his preaching skills in the pulpit, on the streets and behind the microphone.

When he's not on the streets spreading the Word, he serves as a minister as part of the Shepherd's Staff at Bishop T. D. Jakes' The Potter's House of Dallas.

The "Anti-Saggin' Pants Campaign" was launched in Dallas by Mayor Pro Tem Dwaine Caraway to get teens to pull their pants up and hide their boxers as a way to get the youth to show some self respect. Similar campaigns have been started in Jackson, Mississippi, Flint, Michigan and elsewhere.

Dooney has taken the idea to another level with Pull Your Pants Up! by speaking to the youth as one of their own, who has faced the same gang activity, drug abuse, prison culture and other inner city realities that they face, or pretend to (suburban youth). Dooney Da Priest is against drugs, gangs, pimpin', sexual abuse and promotes change through Jesus Christ.

"Saggin' pants and baggy pants are not the same thing, there is a big difference. Because Hip Hop/Rap music or Rap celebrities have promoted this fashion trend to be cool. I wanted to use the same approach in Rap music to make it uncool and educate saggers on what saggin' truly means, "says Dooney.

Pull Your Pants Up! is in stores now. Ask for it at your local retailer or order it from Malaco Records at www.malaco.com
