Episode description: Following their successful performance on Jimmy Kimmel, the guys are flooded with calls, e-mails and faxes. It seems their dream of getting a deal is finally coming true, but now they wonder: Should they sign with a label or launch themselves as an independent act? They need someone to give them some advice. Sorting through their new fan mail, Stu finds a copy of a Vibe Magazine - in it is a Rocawear ad that actually includes a photo of Jamie and Stu! Now Jamie and Stu have a plan: They are going to fly to New York to meet with Jay-Z (after all, he owes them after using their photos in his ad,) and Jay-Z can give them the career advice they need. But as soon as they walk in the front door of Def Jam, they walk right back out. They were turned away by Security. Now walking the streets of New York pissed off, Jamie calls his manager Pam who saves the day by getting the guys a meeting with Russell Simmons. But Russell thinks the meeting is about Phat Farm clothes, not about the music business. He tells Jamie that he has no intention of signing the duo. His advice: "Smile and breathe." Just when the New York trip seems like a waste, they join Heather B for dinner, who tells them she'll arrange a meeting with DJ Premiere. Premiere likes the guys and their music, and offers to cut a track for them - a major victory. Back in LA, the pressure is on to decide who they're going to sign with, or if they'll be signing with anyone. They make a decision to make a decision. In the meantime, they plan a huge star-studded party in Las Vegas to make the official announcement.
