"The Gambling Man" tours Canada with Mobb Deep, records tracks with Nate Dogg for debut album. Bodog Music hip hop recording artist Bishop "The Gambling Man " Brigante is preparing for his forthcoming debut, The Life of a Gambler, before setting out on a cross Canada tour with hip hop great Mobb Deep. The emcees launch their tour June 20 in Muskoka, Ontario. Bishop kicked it "doggy-style" in LA last week when he hit California to record all-new tracks for his debut album with famed urban vocalist Nate Dogg . After a successful recording session, the two headed to Snoop Dogg's infamous Dogg Pound, where Snoop and Bishop hit it off and laid down a track on the spot. Poised and prepared for the upcoming Mobb Deep tour, Bishop's career is gaining momentum and The Life of a Gambler could be the album that puts Toronto on the map in hip hop's global expansion. Brigante has seen much success on Much Music with his music videos "That's The Way", "6 Up" and "About 2 Change", which won the Urban World Film Festival award for Best Video of the Year in New York City. After appearing on BET's "106th & Park's Freestyle Fridays" three weeks in a row, urban music greats learned his name and loved his game. His success on the show landed him the opening spot for several Canadian tours, including dates with Busta Rhymes of Aftermath Entertainment and G Unit member, Young Buck . Bishop was dubbed "The Gambling Man" after representing the Bodog Music roster as a member of Team Bodog at the 2006 World Series of Poker. Bishop also wrote and performed the theme song "Wild Card" for the Bodog TV series "Calvin Ayre Wild Card Poker," which originally aired on Fox Sports Net and recently re-aired to over 90 million homes on ION Television. www.bodogmusic.com | www.myspace.com/bishopbrigante BISHOP with Mobb Deep:                        |
