Vibe Magazine Ignite 2010: “From The Block To The Blogs”

Before the BET Hip-Hop Awards Weekend in Atlanta, Vibe Magazine held its “From The Block To The Blogs” event on Friday at the W Downtown. Esteemed Journalist, hip-hop historians, rappers, digital media strategist and ivy league intellectuals came together for a one of a kind dialogue. The topic of discussion range from engaging our youth to vote, the influence of social media to the role of corporate investment in our community and government regulation of the internet. Internet Neutrality was the hot topic of the day and everyone agreed it would not be in the best interest for corporation to be given more control over internet access.
X-Clan member Paradise Gray spoke exclusively with Rasha Entertainment about what he felt were pertinent issues that need to be address in our community. Paradise is a community organizer and Hip-Hop historian as well as founding member of The Black Watch Movement.

Chico DeBarge- Supermodel(rmx) ft. Da Backwudz


The DeBarges are a family of musicians who's pleasant looks and wonderful talents took us by storm in the 80's.
First came older brothers Bobby and Tommy who were in a group called Switch who was signed to Motown. Next four of the younger siblings Bunny, Mark, Randy and El were signed to Motown as well and were later joined by James who was 17 at the time. In the mid 80's Motown introduced us to yet another DeBarge... Chico. After dropping his first two albus "Chico DeBarge"(1986) and "Kiss Serious"(1988) we didn't hear from Chico for a long time. Then there was the Chico that most of my readers come to love in 1997 "Long Time No Here" followed by "The Game"(1999) and "Free"(2003). So while working on Chico's most recent album Addiction was released July 14, 2009 I was more than happy when the folks over at Kedar Entertainment Group asked me to produce a new track for the R&B Legend. I did the track and called on Universal Motowns own Da Backwudz (Sho Nuff and Big Mark aka Aleon Craft) who happen to be personal friends of mine to bless the track with that Southern Hip Hop Feel.

Aleon Craft on CNN


just surfing the web with no real goal and I stumbled on this jewel. My dog Aleon Craft aka Big Mark one half of Universal's Da Backwudz is on CNN rapping in front of a symphony with a sweater vest on. I thought I was seeing things, but I wasn't. He and 808 Blake of SMKA are involved in a study that bends a Hip Hop producer and an Emcee with a symphony... WTF? That's being on your grind

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.

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.
