Lee Resnick's Urban Barbershop DVD Network

Lee Resnick was recently profiled on SOHH.com's Player Watch* with a special focus on his Urban Barbershop DVD network:

With mixtapes becoming a less reliable tool, Lee conceived a line of DVD's created specifically for barbershop audiences.

"There were a lot of great videos that you would never see, so I created this network of barbershops, 350 barbershops in 36 states... I do monthly compilations hosted by artists, send them to my barbershops and they play them. They reach 360,000 viewers a month and I gather feedback that goes back to the labels," Resnick explained.

Hosted by celebs including Dipset capo Jim Jones and Jets running back Thomas Jones, Resnick's DVDs often introduce newer artists to audiences outside their region for the first time.

That's so surprising no one thought of this idea before.

Barbershops are like the official black market headquarters for bootlegs of all kinds.
