What's upper! Superbowl XXXVIII is history with this years 2004 champs, New England Patriots (32-29). This years half time show was one of the best to date featuring P.

This just in from our militant Rap Attack reporter Peter Rosenberg outta MD's, WMUC, " Well if you haven't heard about "The Brown Album" , you probably will soon since MTV ran a story that discusses it at length (www.mtvnews.com). Many of you know, though, that Kev has been one of the illest producers around for a minute now. Starting next week, he is going to be doing phone interviews with DJs for the first time. He will be discussing "The Brown Album" and his experiences with the likes of Jewel, Dela, Bumpy Knucks, Jazzy Jeff and many others. Here is the deal...hit me with an email and let me know when your show is and we will make it happen. He may have to do them in the afternoon, so hopefully you guys can record them, but as soon as you reach out, we can start putting together his schedule. Also remember that wax for "The Brown Album" will be dropping in the next week. We can't wait to get this going and thanks for your support. Kev was discovered at college radio and giving back to college djs is very important to us & everyone." You can hit up Peter on the email tip at:  pmd@tdharry.com... A Rap Attack reality look into the life of MA's Kate Livingston from WOZQ & DoomsDay Promotions: "So me and my spontaneous little ass decides to up and go to ATL for a mini vacation- without checking the weather report. It was beautiful down there the whole time I was there….checked out the historically black colleges  “Battle of the Bands” with about 60,000 heads at the Georgia Dome- had an incredible time, right? We left to drive home on Sunday morning under a light rain in ATL and as soon as we got into South Carolina- it was all about that insane ice storm for the next TWELVE HOURS. North Carolina declared a state of emergency and everything shut down. It took us 15 hours to travel what should have taken 8 by the time we got to DC. After spinning out on the almost empty highway at 3 am in DC we decided it was time to quit, so we crashed at my friend’s house for 3 hours and then got back on the road at 6am Monday. PS- We kept count and had passed 32 ACCIDENTS in South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia. My friend and I got all the way to North Jersey in proper time to make it to work (both had to work that night) when all of a sudden we blew a tire! We had to drive 50 miles an hour on the spare all the way from North Jersey to Massachusetts. I was 2 hours late for work and basically stepped out of the car and into work and worked the closing shift. Yikes. Not the most relaxing vacation ever, but I’ll take what I can get!," Kate Livingston... WHRW's Dan Shores outta Binghamton, NY is starting another show on www.wicb.org. Its going to be a funk soul and raregrooves show from 6-8pm airing on Fridays & then Dan drives back to Binghamton and do his 10pm-1am show on WHRW.

The DJ Toast "WRPI 15 Year Radio Anniversary Celebration" will be happening on March 20th in Troy (Albany) NY.

I will be contacting record labels and asking for CD's to be used as giveaways during my old school trivia contest.
I will be looking for any artists that are willing to perform on the bill as a promotional event. I am only 2.5 hours drive from NYC.

 Anyone peep out the movie "You Got Served" yet? We've got a couple of feedbacks from two of our Rap Attack movie critics: " So my homie got advanced tickets to see "You Got Served." I thought it would be funny to see it so I tagged along. I was expecting another "Glitter!"  What I  got was a minstrel show. Not funny or good or even entertaining," DJ Honeycut (KPSU-Portland, OR)... "FINALLY, I SEE ALOT BEING SAID ABOUT THIS MOVIE "YOU GOT SERVED." I'M SORRY BUT WHEN I SEE B2K IN A MOVIE, IT HAD BETTER BE "FACES OF DEATH 12." THIS SHIT LOOKS LIKE "BEAT STREET 2004". I'LL TAKE THE ORIGINAL THANK YOU," DJ Kazzeo (KHDC-Salinas, CA)... "Check out my site www.livingprecision.com for a new remix I did of Beyonce's "Me, Myself, and I." Feel free to download it play it if you do a mixshow or play at the clubs,etc.," L-Precise (Ryan West)KVRI... Who's comin' out to Floss Angeles during the NBA All-Star week?
