They're tearing up the charts and now the reggaeton dancehall collective, Belize Entertainment, has inked a deal as celebrity endorsers for Smart phones. Speednet and the group have signed a endorsement agreement and the first order of business was re-filming their "sugga daddy" video with a Smart phone touch. The group will also appear in Smart ads, perform at Smart events, and in further projects like a Smart talent search. The deal was announced this afternoon and the group says it is a breakthrough.
Belizeno,
"I would say that is a very big breakthrough and like we said we don't know anybody else that is doing this and like you said it an endorsement and just the way that we are [promoting their product, they are promotingus."
Benge-T,
"We are not selling out. In this business, in music, we have to help out each other. For the youths we are always with the youths, for the ghetto youths.
Cita,
"Its publicity and that is what we need because we're young people just trying to make it in the music business and we just need any help we can get so we can go forth and make Belize proud of us."
Smart is inviting other artists to approach the company for endorsements.
