Woods, Houston rap pioneer dies at 37
Used copies on Amazon.com are on sale for more than $40. That album included the popular Catch 'Em Slippin', which Woods (as Original E), DJ Boss and local producer/engineer Carlos Garza created based on an old sample of a song by New Orleans singer King Floyd. Garza said he and Woods listened to hundreds of records at Garza's duplex to find the right sample. They assembled "a skeleton" for the song with just turntables and a drum machine. "Plain and simple, we were just trying to find something that sounded like a hit single," Garza said. Woods and DJ Boss built the song up from the demo into the version that appeared on the O.G. Style album. Another song from that album made regional ripples. Free World, with its "sitting in the Harris County jail" hook, was the flip side to a 12-inch of Slippin'.

Sony BMG Lets the Music Play
In a move that would mark the end of a digital music era, Sony BMG Music Entertainment is finalizing plans to sell songs without the copyright protection software that has long restricted the use of music downloaded from the Internet, BusinessWeek.com has learned. Sony BMG, a joint venture of Sony (SNE) and Bertelsmann, will make at least part of its collection available without so-called digital rights management, or DRM, software some time in the first quarter, according to people familiar with the matter. Sony BMG would become the last of the top four music labels to drop DRM, following Warner Music Group (WMG), which in late December said it would sell DRM-free songs through Amazon.com's (AMZN) digital music store. EMI and Vivendi's Universal Music Group announced their plans for DRM-free downloads earlier in 2007.
