The "Brainstorm 3" emcee battle is coming up this November 21-24th in Seattle, WA.. Last years winner was Presence outta Chicago & the event drew in up to 64 emcees from around the states. This years event expects to be even much larger! $2500.00 will be awarded to the winner. For more info, contact Khazma 247 online at: MADKREW@HOTMAIL.COM or at (206) 760-MADK... With the CMJ coming up in a couple weeks, here's something your artists may be interested in. Via my AK outta Delaware, Mike Baxter,  here's what's up: " ATTN: Labels, artists, producers, managers, etc., DJ LT. Dan is putting together a promotional mix-cd for all underground artists to distribute at a number of events and to be mailed out to major labels, writers, editors, A&R, promotion companies, and companies that sponsor musicians and labels (for example: Coke, Pepsi, Xbox, Sony, Microsoft, Nike, etc). The first major disbursment will be at the CMJ Conference in NYC on the week of the 22nd. The rate to get a single track or song on the CD will be $300 for indies, $1,000 for major labels. (This rate is less than half of most promotional samplers, and this is sure to get much more impact due to having one of the top mixtape djs in the business putting it together and co-signing on it). PLEASE ACT FAST SPACE IS ALMOST GONE FOR THE FIRST DISC." If you're down you can hit up Mike Baxter on the email tip at: MBEMUSIC@YAHOO.COM... By now, you should've received in your mail the debut single by Gangsta featuring Ice Cube & Butch Cassidy "Big Boy's" (Heat Rocs). Don't sleep on this phat joint. Here's what some of our Rap Attack panel is saying about Gangsta: DJ Haze (WMSC in NJ): "Just wanted to get at you with some feedback on this one. I'm definitely feelin' it. The loop is nasty and production is tight. Overall - real tight. The Big Boy's side makes the record - definitely. I'm hoping it won't get slept on, though. Let's see"... DJ X-Cell :Dope Joint...feelin this alot!"... DJ Earthquake (Live365.com): "Yo this joint is hot. Starts out kinda slow but picks up really nice. Good to hear Cube on a track"... DJ Solo (WECI in Richmond, IN): " The Ice Cube record will be a way for him to re invent himself. it has quality for college radio"... DJ Buddhabong (Solofhiphop.com): " West side fo sho... ha. word thats what I think of when I hear this - its a cool joint - 1 out of 10 i give it a 6... There's an early buzz on the new El Gant "No Joke" (Nacirema) joint. DJ's are feeling this cut from El! You can catch him live on the mic this Oct. 23rd at our hip-hop showcase!!!.. Check your mail for the blazin' new album "Def Jamaica" (Def Jam) featuring the single by CNN, Wayne Wonder & Lexxus "Anything Goes."
