Real Radio With Jay Force

People who know me are familiar with my phrase, "Hip Hop's not dead... You just been listening to the radio". That particular phrase holds true until you set your radio to 89.3 FM 10pm-1am every other Saturday in Atlanta. In that case you will be Listening to The Beatz & Lyrics Show hosted by my dog, Jay Force. Some of you may have heard of Jay and lots haven't But since he hit the airwaves in Philadelphia in 1990 he has been given us nothing but pure uncut Hip Hop. A driving force in ATL's Hip Hop community, Jay Force is the hardest working man in Non-Commercial radio. With his accomplishments and international fame, Jay Force is more than qualified to have his own show on any of the commercial urban radio stations that systematically pump poison into our homes and cars, but it is his choice to remain on non-commercial radio where he can play good music because it's good. It's brothers like Jay that has influenced me to stop using the term underground when referring to Hip Hop. With listeners in Japan, Paris, London, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Brazil, The Philippines, Czech Republic, The Caribbean, & many others, how could you call real Hip Hop "underground". Thanks to Jay Force and others like him, real Hip Hop is international.

Far & Few Album Review

I went to The Atlanta Bench Thursday night and had the pleasure of copping a copy of the new album by 4-IZE, "Illuminated Animals". Now since I have moved to Atlanta in 1999 people been telling me I need to meat this cat. I haven't had the pleasure of a formal introduction but after rocking to this album for two days I feel as if I know him. Simply put, "Illuminated Animals" is easy listening hardcore Hip Hop. I didn't feel the urge to skip one joint. I suggest all head down to The Atlanta Bench and get a copy.

My Passion-Get To Know Your Blogger

Most of my readers are familiar with me and/or my company OMyGahsh Productions. I feel as if I were born a musician, but as a geek at heart I have always been attracted to technology. Ever since my first computer, a "Commodore 128", that we had to hook up to our TV like a game system I know I wanted to control this technology the best I could. This need for control is what I believe has been the driving force to my knowledge quest. I started taking music lessons as a young boy because I wanted to be able to make the music I was listening to on the radio. By seventh grade I was introduced to something called MIDI. Simply put, MIDI is a technology that allowed the computer to record notes played from electronic instruments and allow them to be edited and played back. This began the merger of my love for music and my love for technology. Here I am at the age of 30 doing everything I love. Using technology to create good musc and entertainment for all. I hope you enjoy.

Exclusive Footage of The Salesman

This is Saint Louis' best kept secret, Bishup The Traveling Salesman. This brotha has really been on his grind. Every time I see him in Atlanta he is just coming from NY or L.A. or London or... you get the point. This brotha has never had a mixtape, but has pushed five albums hand-to-hand since 2000. One of the albums (Before The Briefcace) is available on iTunes and rumer has it that there will be two more albums this year. The story I heard was that while making the The Traveling Salesman album producers found two more albums worth of bangers he was hiding. Thats how Before The Briefcase and the still un-released Briefcase & Microphone came to be.

This is a clip of Mike Alaska laying the drums for "No Doubt" off The Traveling Salesman album.
