LOS ANGELES ? The Players Ball will take center stage as the official after-party for the 6th Annual XBIZ Awards, scheduled Feb. 7 at the Highlands in Hollywood, Calif.
"XBIZ Hollywood has always been a top-notch show," D-Money said. "For me, throwing a Players Ball in my own backyard will be extra fun. Our party has been known to attract many celebrities over the years. I'm sure this L.A. party will bring many more."
Celebrating its 10-year anniversary, The Players Ball will close out the XBIZ Awards, offering a new style of after-party. After a strong year of five exclusive events, The Players Ball will ring in the new year with performers DJ Quik and AMG.
"It's an L.A. event, so we wanted to have one of the biggest West Coast rap producers/rappers around, DJ Quik," D-Money said. "His lyrics are true to our game, very sexual. I know the crowd will dig this one, even if they don't know DJ Quik."
D-Money also said he's especially excited that this Players Ball will begin as soon as the XBIZ Awards end, meaning DJ Quik will begin performing almost immediately for an already packed house.
?We were determined for this year?s XBIZ Awards event to surpass last year?s as a party as well as a great awards ceremony,? XBIZ Publisher Tom Hymes said. ?What better way than to have The Players Ball pick up where the awards leave off. I don't mean to brag, but it is going to rock the nation.?
Registrants for the XBIZ Hollywood ?08 Industry Conference will get an all-access pass to all seminars and special events, including complimentary admission to the XBIZ Awards and The Players Ball to follow.
