LOS ANGELES, CA-December 4, 2006- Bishop Don "Magic" Juan, one of
the
world's most infamous pimps, releases his first mixtape with
UrbanWorld
Wireless, producers of the popular, celebrity hosted "Listen N
Learn"
mixtape series and recent nominee for Best Promotional Mixtape in the
upcoming 10th Annual Justo’s Mixtape Awards in NYC. Bishop Don
"Magic"
Juan presents "Listen N Learn Vol. 5, The History of Pimpin'",
features
tracks from some of hip-hop's most anticipated newcomers, as well as
seasoned favorites.
After the huge success of Ice Cube presents Listen N Learn Vol. 4,
“Niggaz
With Gunz”, executive produced by UrbanWorld CEO Mike Johns, the
company
executes the winning formula again with Bishop Don “Magic” Juan,
the first
pimp to host a “Listen N Learn” mixtape. The mixtape, “Listen N
Learn
Vol. 5, The History of Pimpin’”, sheds light on the history of
pimpin’,
America’s fascination with pimpin’, as well as the difference
between
street pimpin’ and Hugh Hefner’s corporate pimpin’. The mixtape
embodies
the flavor of both Bishop and Mike Johns, combining comedy, R&B,
hip-hop,
reggae and technology. In addition to music, listeners can call
Bishop’s
personalized toll free # 888.4.Don.Juan and purchase his ringtones
directly from the mixtape. “Bishop Don Juan has become a marquee
figure
in hip-hop culture. There is no question he’ll make an impact with
this
mixtape,” says Travis Michael, head of Business Development for
UrbanWorld. The mixtape features exclusive new music from Snoop,
Papoose,
Akon, Lloyd Banks and reggae superstar, Sean Paul, while continuing to
be

R.I.P.P.E.R., Mikkey, Bralic, Tommy Gunz, Balboa, and Bump J (who was
voted best mixtape artist of the year at Justo’s 9th Annual Mixtape

Hi-Tech Pimpin’ baby! Pimpin’ is officially wireless; check for
the
mixtape and my new pimptones, chuuuuch,” says The Bishop. In
