Studio City, CA (Billboard Publicity Wire) December 1, 2006 -- The U.S Military will get an extra helping of "Chutzpah" with their holiday treats courtesy of Studio City, California based record company, The Jewish Music Group. JMG will ship several hundred CD's from the LA based Hip Hop group to the fighting men and women based in Iraq, set to arrive just in time for the holidays.

JMG's David McLees noted, "The holiday appropriateness of the track 'Chanukah's Da Bomb' on this particular CD seemed a perfect gift to give to those fighting for our freedom in Iraq. The humor along with the holiday cheer of the content seemed very appropriate."

Dean Schachtel, JMG's National Director of Sales added, "We felt the need to do something to lift the spirits of our brave men and women in Iraq. We're pleased to bring some music and some laughs to the troops."

The phenomenon known as Chutzpah (who bill themselves as "the first Jewish Hip Hop Supergroup") rose from the streets of Los Angeles and features Master Tav, Dr. Dreck, MC Meshugenah and Jew Dah doing their irreverent and tuneful rap with a Jewish tude. The CD to be received by the troops includes 12 tracks plus 1 hidden track. The accompanying booklet includes a complete Chutzpah 162 word Jewish/Yiddish glossary and a foreword written by the Queen Of Punk, Debbie Harry! A 22 minute DVD is also available (Chutzpah, This Is?). Chutzpah's video/DVD features a cavalcade of stars including Gary Oldman, George Segal, Vivian Campbell (Def Leppard) and many others.
