Q-Boro recording artist and CEO, Apani, is scheduled to release her first complete LP via her self-owned and licensed Q-Boro Japan (Mic Life/Bad News Records). The debut international LP, Story 2 Tell, is scheduled for release on December 25th, 2003 via the japan based independent record company. After months of negotiation with Miclife/Bad News and extensive production to the 15-track album, Q-Boro Japan is looking forward to the beginning of a lucrative and long-term licensing deal now and for upcoming releases.

Story 2 Tell is laced with 15 songs which appropriately regales tales of Apani’s exploits in love ("Tequila"), life ("Picture This"), friendship ("Rite The Wrongs"), business ("Say What!"), and just good natured fun ("Air Tight"). Production credits include the likes of DJ Spinna ("Abracadabra"), Da Beatminerz ("Say What!"), DJ Crossfader ("Pictuer This"), and Crazy DJ Bazarro ("Tequila" and "Rite the Wrongs"), as well as newcomer TAMASHIE ("Assimilate", "Ichinisan", and "6pm Cool Down"). The album is emotional and musical, fun and serious at the same time. Apani's notorious mic skills graces every one of the LP’s fifteen cuts with exemplary and complete control of pitches, various rhyme delivery, and even a bit of song intertwined between hard raps and spoken word.

Expected to travel to Japan at the release of Story 2 Tell, Apani will perform at select dates in Japan and several European countries. Prior to Apani’s departure, she will headline Kindred’s premiere date of TOFUGANJA2GO!, a live listening session featuring one straight set of various notable performers and turntablists, on December 16th at RARE on West 14th Street. Additional performances include IOMOS MARAD, (ANI), KOJOE (Q-Boro), LIFELONG w/ MISTA SINISTA (Cajo!).
