Many independent artists hope to move units throughout their city, and eventually dominate their region on the road to major label supremacy. Enter Xrossroadz, an up and coming label that aims to continue what Def Poetry started; to become one of the only multi-million dollar companies that focus on spoken word projects.

Leading the charge is Xrossroadz CEO barzini (always lowercase) with “Spoken”, a ten track EP of hip-hop, spoken word and jazz. In conjunction with this release is “Project Platinum Status” in which the company hopes to reach one million listeners by giving away the release and asking for a monetary donation only if the listener enjoys the disc.

“Spoken” by barzini is available free of charge at www.xrossroadzpoetry.com/
