Carlyle Motor Club CEO Geoffrey Hull featured in September issue of Rides Magazine!

Rides Magazine has always held a special place in our hearts here at the Carlyle Motor Club. Subscribers of the premier urban car aficionado periodical were greeted with a special treat on page 36 of their September 2009 issue, our very own Geoffrey Hull!

The article discusses the unique opportunity Carlyle Motor Club offers those in need of leasing luxury vehicles without the hassle of credit checks. "Carlyle Motor Club [is] the nation's first company to offer high-end luxury automobile leases with no credit checks" writes Rides staff contributor Anslem Samuel.

The article goes on to talk about the viral marketing campaign we've initiated featuring Raekwon, Joe Budden, and Freekey Zekey. Lastly, the article finishes with the quote "What you're seeing is the beginning of world domination in the luxury car industry".

We'd like to thank the editors and writers at Rides Magazine, (specifically Anslem Samuel), for the write-up and we'd like to encourage all of the followers of this blog to pick up a copy (or 3) of Rides Magazine's September '09 issue.

Carlyle Motor Club Joe Budden Commercial

Today we're excited to announce we've released the FULL version of the Joe Budden Carlyle Motor Club commercial.

Be on the lookout for future videos from Freekey Zekey, President of Diplomat Records (Cam'ron, Juelz Santana, Jim Jones) and Young Life (Far West Ent/Universal Records). You'll find previews for both upcoming videos in the Media section of www.carlylemotorclub.com

Let us know what you think of the new Joe Budden commercial!

Meeting of the Bosses

Occasionally, we here at the Carlyle Motor Club like to let our hair down and have a good ole' fashioned beach party. This past weekend the location was Marina Del Rey, CA at the new beach house owned by our good friend Emil, president of Emsar Design.

From left to right: Geoffrey Hull (CEO of Carlyle Motor Club), Young Life (recording artist Far West/Universal), Girl 1, Robert Kardashian (TV personality/model/socialite), Girl 2, George Keshishyan (Co-Owner Platinum Motorsports), Emil Sardaryan (President Emsar Design)

Check back frequently as we add additional pictures to our photo gallery in the media section of our website: www.carlylemotorclub.com. Finding this relatively tame picture amongst the host of more "racy" photos was a job in and of itself. Needless to say, good times were had by all...

Carlyle Motor Club is thrilled to announce Def Jam/Rocafella recording artist Jadakiss as the 5th and final performer at our BET Awards Post Event happening this Sunday June 28th here in Los Angeles!

With a lineup like this, the BET Awards Post Event may end up being a bigger and better spectacle than the actual award show!

The Last Kiss: A Review of Jadakiss' Third Album

He's a master of multisyllabic punchlines and more often than not you'll find yourself hitting rewind to catch some sharp lyric of his. He's been in the game since 1994 on several high profile labels (Bad Boy, Ruff Ryders, and Roc-A-Fella) and earned the respect of his peers in the industry having collaborated with nearly every elite emcee (B.I.G., Eminem, Jay-Z, DMX, Nas, Lil Wayne, etc.)

Young Life Video Shoot for Carlyle Commercial

On Sunday afternoon while the LA Lakers were busy winning their 15th championship in that franchise's storied history, we here at Carlyle Motor Club were busy shooting yet another music video/commercial in an effort to make some history of our own. (To Derek Hunt: money never sleeps, it also doesnt take time out to watch basketball games LOL) This time around, we were honored to have Far West Entertainment/Universal Records hip hop recording artist Young Life bless us with an awesome custom Carlyle verse.

The shoot started with a caravan throughout the streets of the San Fernando Valley that included a Mercedes Benz CL63, a Mercedes Benz SL550 AMG, a Lexus GS450, and a BMW 650i. President of Carlyle, Geoff Hull, also brought the Rolls Royce Phantom out just to reaffirm Carlyle Motor Club's place among the elite LA area luxury & exotic car dealerships [Editor's Note] Shout out to our friends at Far West Ent. who we were following, for having the presence of mind to pull over to the side of the road to let the LAPD squad cars that were trailing us go ahead of us and pass us by while we were caravanning. I'm sure they ran our plates and were disappointed to discover all of our cars are clean and in good standing. Haters come in all shapes & sizes. But I digress...

Acclaimed director John Colombo was on his "A" game as he got some awesome driving & performance shots of Young Life doing his thing in & around the BMW 650i Convertible. The 650i ended up being the showpiece of the video. Yes, we closed off an entire street to shoot this video...

All in all it was a great shoot and should end up yielding yet another masterpiece Carlyle commercial. Special thanks to Tasiri from Black Wall Street, Arman from Far West Entertainment, photographer Jorge Peniche, Emil of Emsar Design for putting it all together for us, and of course Young Life.

Stay tuned as we'll be leaking the Young Life Carlyle verse in the next couple days, the behind-the-scenes pictures & footage from the video shoot next week, and of course releasing the Young Life commercial for Carlyle in upcoming months! In the meantime, check out our past commercials from Raekwon, Joe Budden, and Freekey Zekey at www.carlylemotorclub.com

The Search for a Carlyle Spokeswoman Continues...

This past weekend was a busy one for Carlyle as we held auditions for a Carlyle Spokeswoman/Model on Friday night. Auditions were held at Minx Restaurant & Lounge in Glendale, CA. With a bevy of beautiful aspiring models in a gorgeous venue, what more could us car guys ask for on a Friday night?

Hosted by Lil Shawn of 92.7.99.3 The Beat in Phoenix, the auditions were held in an "American Idol"-esque format with 3 celebrity judges that included hip hop recording artist Krondon of the group Strong Arm Steady, wifey of acclaimed music video director John Colombo, Poppy, and lastly Shade 45's Rude Jude.

Each "contestant" was asked a series of tough, car-related questions designed to test their knowledge of luxury & exotic cars. Prospects were judged on their appearance, personality, and ability to maintain composure.

As of this publishing, no ladies have been selected. However, a good time was had by all. Check back frequently to www.carlylemotorclub.com for exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of this jaw-droppingly hilarious audition!
