What's upper! Who'd ever guess the Boston Red Sox
would come from way behind & destroy the Yankees?
This is gonna be a dope World Series... Barak
Records is coming on strong with a grip of phat new
releases. This week their Slum Village joint "Do
You" is NUMBER ONE MOST ADDED nationwide with our
Rap Attack panel. Now be sure to peep,
play & support the new Athletic Mic League "Whatchuknow"
& Phat Kat "Destiny." If you need to get laced
with the vinyl or cd, holla at our new homegirl to the
Rap Attack fam, Biba The Diva at (248)
552-9242 or online at:
biba@barakrecords.com. Give her a shout & let
her know we sent ya'! Also peep out Barak's website at:
www.barakrecords.com... Babygrande Records
is proud to announce it has entered into a
partnership with Viper Records to release the
next album from one of the hottest and most important
artists in Hip-Hop, Immortal Technique. "After
considering the many major label and independent offers
I received for the distribution of the next record I
decided on Babygrande for many reasons: I saw their
distribution power through Koch, their solid
reputation at retail, and their promotional capabilities
as an asset to the team that I had built up. I received
contractual agreements that were the most financially
stable in the long run for the situation I am setting
up. This album is going to be different from the
Revolutionary series. Whereas "Revolutionary Vol.2" was
a response to the government influenced media coverage
of terrorism and the addressing of several industry and
hood issues, "The Middle Passage" is a more broad and
more harsh approach. It is an album that will bring
Technique back to the streets on which he started
hustling and will have a wider variety of subject matter
for people to feel," explained Immortal Technique from
his Harlem, NY headquarters. In these trying times of
war, terrorism, and world-wide instability, Immortal
Technique is an important artist not only for Hip-Hop
fans, but for the world," said Babygrande CEO,
Chuck Wilson.Immortal Technique's "Middle Passage"
LP will be released world-wide some time in 2005.
Babygrande and Viper are also discussing the release of
a DVD documentary about Immortal Technique's life and
experiences as a hip-hop artist. Davey-D (KPFA-CA)
laced me with a phat MP3 of Immortal Technique featuring
Mos Def & Eminem with a cut called "Bin
Laden" which will make heads turn & ears listen once you
peep it! For more on Immortal Technique log on to:

My boy, Marcus Morton (Exec Producer) of
the new docuimentary film by Jason Moriarty
called "Prison Ball" was featured at the Hollywood Film
Festival. Narrated by Ice-T, here's the 411 on
"Prison Ball": " Deep in the heart of
America's murder capital; young males are habitually
filtered into one of its most lucrative industries: The
industry of prison. In the projects, Basketball is one
of the few opportunities kids have to escape the
hopeless environment of the ghetto. In Prison,
Basketball becomes a temporary escape from the hardships
of being incarcerated. Prison Ball revolves around the
first ever basketball tournament between four Louisiana
State Prisons, and the lives of the players involved in
the tournament. Through interviews with the players as
well as a State Senator, Correctional Officers, Wardens
and a School Superintendent the film exposes the truth
about a $60 billion a year business that benefits from
the warehousing of
America's
poor. Four prisons compete to be #1 in something
besides crime. About the
Executive Producer: Marcus Morton is a pioneer in the
world of Hip-Hop/Urban music and films.Most recently he
developed and produced Sony/Screen Gems
film “You Got Served”, which in its first week opened as
the #1 film in America, Released Jan 30, 2004. He also
has a host of films in development at various studios.
Mr. Morton was recently re-appointed to his second term
as a Member of the California Film Commission.

Rap
Attack
takes
a "WHAT'S UPPER" look this week with: Wildman
Steve (BringTheNoise.com): " There was a
WildMan Steve sighting at H.U.S.T.L.E. 2004 .Big
up and much respect to Nasty Nes. I had a great
time at the Fri. panel at Baruch. Also, respect goes out
to Bella from WBBM for a gracious and down
to earth hostess you are very sweet. I finally met
Jessica from Spectre. Big up to my man Davey
D thanks for the advice and info. Peace to David
Muhammad. I also spoke briefly to Nathan Sheard,
DJ Splif, Dru Ha & EQ. Peace to
GURU and Ernie Paniccioli you did your thing
on the panel. Much respect to Baruch College and
security.I had a great time. Once again Nes "You did the
damn thing"... Craig Arthur aka C-Sharp (WUVT-VA):
"Got damn HUSTLE was a good time. Thank you to everyone
that helped make it happen. EQ, NES, and everybody
behind the scenes...good sh!t and I've got a feeling
its only going to get better. Personal highlights was
seeing the Boot Camp Clik rock nearly crew deep
at the HUSTLE showcase Thursday, the abbreviated Beat
Seminar with Kev Brown and Illmind and
also the TDHarry/VintageMusic/ TrilogyOnWax
showcase.Peace to everybody I caught up with...Sean,
Sum, Nes, Badtouch, ABeats, JJ,
Doujah, PMD, Jess, Bumrush,
Quartermaine, Nzinga, Angie, Amen
and the list goes on. Definitely had a good time and
already looking forward to next year"... Resident
(WKNC-NC): "What up Nes? Just wanted to thank you
for putting on the event. Hopefully this can happen more
and more! We need things like this nowadays. Like me and
Kristlyes said, "maybe more than once a year...good
looking out homie...PEACE!!!!"... DJ A-Beats (WGMU-Wash.DC):
"CMJ/HUSTLE was amazing. To me the best 2 shows
where Thursday and Saturday night. On Thursday BCC was
doing a dope ass set then Rok came out and did
some joints with Ruck. It was beautiful to see
both of them back on stage together. Saturday was hands
down the best all around show from the conference. Every
single act held it down, but I have to say the highlight
came at the end of the show when Kev Brown made a beat
from scratch and had everybody up on stage freestyling.
Shit was hot. Shouts to everybody I got to chill with
and all the people I finally put a face to their name.
There are too many people to list, but I do have to give
a special thanks to Double J and Doujah for their
hospitality"... Storm The Unpredictable (Ty-She
Entertainment): " Peace Nes. Again I just wanted to
really say thank you for having me as a part of your
show last Thursday. It was greatly appreciated and
everyone says that the conference was a big success. If
there is ever anything I can do for you please do not
hesitate to let me know. God bless"...
Dan
Shores
(WHRW-NY):
"Aight, so after the cmj / hustle joint , a lot of
emails go around with shout outs and such. so ,its only
appropriate i add my two cents. Hustle 2004 proved to be
some really positive stuff for all those involved. Big
up to Nasty Nes, Eq and everyone else involved. It was
good to see the rapattacklives.com panel out there on
Friday at the showcase. My deepest apologies for missing
the panels, my travel situation was all jammed up.thanks
for understanding. Big up to everyone i saw out there..
not going to list them individually, too long to
name.Some Highlights include seeing Jean Grae on
Saturday night out at Southpaw in BK and the Bumrush
Meet N Greet ( This guy is really doin his thing year
after year with these ! ) . And meeting Guru and seeing
him rock at Hustle 2004 at Shelter. Also meeting up w/
Courtney from Def Jam, thanks for all the product. I've
got some lessons I've learned also this time around...
1.
Never stay out in
Jersey during CMJ / HUSTLE . you miss alot of panels and
shows. and end up waiting for trains and buses until
7am.
2.
Always have that extra dough on you , NYC vacuums up
your cash with a quickness.
2.5.
Drink in your hotel room, or link up w/ someone w/ drink
tickets. a 12 dollar drink is just not worth it
.
3.
This ones a little hard to grasp, travel light.. but
pack a lot. you gotta have your cds, and promotional
material on you, but you're going to be receiving a lot
too , so come equipt.
Splif
(WKRB-NY):
"Due to conflicts in time, your SONY Music New York
Urban College Marketing Rep will longer be a part of
the Urban Sales Division.
I have to truly say it was my absolute pleasure working
with you ALL over the years. I've witnessed
tremendous growth and development of you all and I'm
confident you will be the NEW wave that will give the
music industry a face lift it desperately needs.However,
there are opportunities in place that I cannot speak on
at the moment, that will be revealed in due time. I will
be working closely with the NEW Rep to ensure you all
are being taken care of in a timely fashion. I will also
continue my role at Keen Management Group,LLC.

Chela
(WXDU-NC): "CMJ/
HUSTLE this year was so much fun, my only complaint was
there was way too much going on! This first HUSTLE
conference has hopefully started an annual
trend--congratulations to Nasty Nes, EQ and my homie
David Muhammad for their hard work. My favorite event
was the Ernie Pannicolli (the Hip Hop Photographer)
presentation at Baruch. He was totally amazing. I
enjoyed rocking at the Def Jam College DJ Appreciation
Party at Alibi on Thursday, the Showcase at Speed on
Friday, and End of the Weak on Sunday. Thanks to
Courtney Adams, Mike $, Nasty Nes, EQ, David
Muhammad, Justo Faison, & DJ G Brown and
shouts to Jessica, Davey D, Alma, DJ Ran,
Kate Livingston, Kev Brown, Kuttin Kandi,
DJ Kut, DJ Fusion, D, Corporate Ken,
Buddha, everybody @ Teflon Muzik, DJ Splif,
DJ Bluesteel, Chill Will, Nick Huff,
Nathan Sheard, Whutzisnaim, Mii Mii,
Supreme, The Wonder Twins, Wayneski,
this year's NC contingent--The Butta Team,
Resident, Bumrush, Kaze & Forge and
everybody else, you know who you are. My favorite
performances were definitely Jean Grae, Immortal
Technique, Masta Killa (the GZA performed
2 songs from Liquid Swords!), Smif N'Wesson,
Comp, The Unusual Suspects, Guru, Jeru and
Lord Finesse's hosting skills at SOB's on
Wednesday. Unfortunately I missed the Public Enemy
performance where Bridget Nielson set White
women back 50 years... although I heard about it in
graphic detail! "Sound Barrier" by Trini Don on
Clef Records is one of the hottest records of the
YEAR. You need it in your life. The mixtape "Chela 4
President" is dropping next week. Get ready!"...
Raw-B (KUSF-SF): " Big thanks to the lovely
Lizz Fields for taking time to stop by the show
this past Sunday. She's 100% soul and has the kind of
voice that gives you goosebumps. Her new album By
Day, By Night is in stores now. If you've been
sleeping on one of Philly's best kept secrets, here's
your chance to catch up:

I also want to big up Dave Paul, founder and head
honcho at S.F.'s own Bomb Records, for stopping
by the show with grip of new releases. My man single
handidly re-energized the D.J. scene with his Return
Of The D.J. records and he's kept busy throughout
the years releasing quality music. Nac-One and
DJ T-Rock were also in the building melting mics and
tearing it up on the turntables. Three new releases from
Bomb records dropped this week including Azeem's
Show Business, Nac-One's Natural
Reaction, and DJ JS-1's Audio Technicians.
If you are not aware of these artists, here's some free

by Grand Master Flash and Omegha Watts of
LightHeaded all in the month of November. Bomb
DJ squad (SF) coming through next week.Ra Scion
(Seattle) in the place to be. Watch out"... Nesto
(WODU-VA): " What's good people? Congrats to
NES and everyone else that put in the work for the
Hustle Conference. I heard it was a big success, but I
was not able to attend. Unfortunately, at the last
minute something came up and I had to back out of the
trip. Glad I didn't buy that plane ticket now. I will
definitely be there next year"... Kristyles
(717HipHop.com): " Ok peoples back to business, Shout's
to everyone I ran into at Rapattacklives.com/Hustle
2004, I had a ball up in NYC, then reality struck we I
got back on the amtrack back to PA and had to get up for
work the next day, Let's keep building on this
conference, if you missed it, stay tuned for next years
line up"... Nate Abney (WKDU-PA): " To
everyone I saw at CMJ/H.U.S.T.L.E. 2004,what a great
time had by all. I got to know Queens, NY pretty well
during my stay but still wound up in Brooklyn before it
was all over. Highlights of my NY trip include:
Wednesday: Arriving with no place to stay and then
having three separate offers now thats love. Seeing
Lone Catalysts perform at Joe's Pub where I heard a
JA RULE song I actually liked. Seeing BABS
and BUCKSHOT brody dude at the door at Joe's Pub.
Watching 9th Wonder spin a set of songs he
produced at the Scion party. QUEST Love
also spun. Me and Semp riding the train everyday.
Thursday: Seeing everyone drunk at the meet and greet
except me.Taking every piece of music given out(Spectre
and Def Jam meet and greets). Seeing Heltah Skeltah
perfrom together. Being not so politely frisked by
security at the Thursday Scion party.
Friday: Seeing Black Sheep, Comp, Jeru,
Lil DAP,and Guru all in one show. Being
out with DAN SHORES, BIG DREW,LEGEND (TAKEDOWN) and SEMP
and messing with some chick who looked like she wanted
to go home with us but then I remembered Tupac
and went to MCDONALDS as was the original plan.
Saturday: With 20 seconds left finding Todd Pinkston
in the end zone to beat JJ BROWN 53-50 in
Madden. And last but not least answering for the
500th time where is OPAL and MIKE JAX? BIG
UPS: NES, JESSICA, KATE, DOUBLE,J, SEMP, ALMA, COURTNEY
ADAMS, LEGEND, SEAN (KOCH), and all the others I came
across (there are too many to name)"... Kazzeo (KHDC-CA):
" So for the past week I was
in NYC for the annual CMJ and H.U.S.T.L.E. conventions
and it was non stop. Almost. I arrived at JFK airport on
Tuesday night around
5pm and, once I got my bags, jumped on a shuttle bus
headed to Port Authority. 2 hours later, I made it. Man,
talk about false advertising because those bus rides are
supposedly "express" service. Anyway, after arriving at
Port Authority, I hopped on the 5 train uptown to meet
my homeboy Latif and his girl Angel, the
original lead singer of 80's group "The Cover Girls".
Once in the
Bronx,
we posse'd over to
City Island for some seafood. Man it tasted great. Once
back in
Manhattan,
I linked up with Nasty Nes and YSL and made our
way to Justin's for an event sponsored by Teflon Muzik.
Very nice place and a lot of heavy hitters in spot such
Jinx Da Juvy, DJ Ran, Kimora and
Russell Simmons to name a few. Wednesday I was in
BIG TROUBLE. The food from City Island left my insides
in shambles and for the next 2 days I was out of
commission. No energy, no appetite, etc. It was ugly.
Wednesday I did nothing but try to sleep. On Thursday, I
began showing signs of life and energy which allowed me
to make some appearances. Along with my peoples Nasty
Nes, Jason D, Chill Will, J-Tyme, Nick Huff, YSL, and DJ
Krystyles, I made it over to Baruch college for a panel
discussion on the state of Hip Hop at college radio and
such. Half way through it though, I was in need of some
rest so I bounced back to the spot to relax. Later that
day, around 5pm, I made my way to Table 50 with the same
crew to experience the highlight of the week from a
b-boy perspective. It was a meet & greet situation with
live dj's on the wheels and plenty of industry folk and
dj's just networking. As I walked downstairs to the
room, I heard the highlight before I actually saw it
firsthand. There, right before my eyes, was DJ Jazzy
Jay (Zulu Nation) rockin' on the turntables
and none other than Grandmaster Caz rockin' the
mic. Words can't explain how much of a void was filled
for me in seeing this authentic example of Hip Hop as it
was meant to be. I'll never forget this.
Later that night, it was a the showcase over at Club
Opaline. The stage was packed with performances by Black
Moon, Smif & Wessun, Sean Price, Jean Grae, Dirty Rat,
Frank White and many more. Friday, Teflon Muzik
held a luncheon at
Baruch
College which was off the chain. Lots of dj's, lots of
music, and lots of food. Later that night was the big
bash at Club Shelter featuring Jeru The Damaja, Lil Dap,
Guru from Gangstarr, DJ Evil D and many more. Saturday
was a day to spend sight seeing and buying some gifts.
At night though, it was a scavenger hunt. I spent the
majority of the night, along with my man Jason D, trying
come up on some bootleg dvd's around
Times Square.
Unfortunately, we were unsuccessful. Oh well. Sunday was
my day to pack and get ready to fly out at
6:30pm.
However, there was one thing I still needed to do. I
made my way downtown to Fat Beats to pick some
records. Man, I could have easily dropped a couple
hundred in there. They had some real heat. All in all,
despite the sickness, I had a great time. I look forward
to next years extravaganza. Shouts to everyone I ran
into while in NYC. Nasty Nes, YSL, Jason D, Nick Huff,

"
Wasup
Y'all? It's been really crazy for me as of late, but
I'm starting to get a handle on things a little. It also
doesn't help that I don't have reliable people around me
to help hold it down. Recent interns have been givin'
the boot because they just want to get on the guestlist
to shows or free music without puttin' in the work I
need them to do. Our radio show has been extended for an
additional hour so we hittin' ATL with 4 hours of hiphop
instead of our usual 3, but overalll Ain't nothing
change with the radio or television shows though. Big
ups to my partners on the radio DJ Rastaroot & DJ
Legacy. They've both have been very busy lately
so much so that they haven't been on the air with me in
about 2 months. Rastaroot has been spinning at various
gigs around the world (he's leaving
for
Italy)
and he's also acting as DJ & manager to Phife Dawg
of Tribe Called Quest. DJ Legacy has also
been Dj'ing various gigs around the world (He just got
back from
Finland)
and is now on tour with MTV. Hopefully I can get
a VJ gig with MTV? Legacy look out for ya bwoy! LOLIt's
been a little more difficult without those guys around
because I really don't have good help sometimes in the
studio....Some interns & stuff just want to get free
passes to shows or free gear or music, but don't want to
put in the work so I don't show love that often. In the
meantime make sure y'all check me out whenever you're in
the ATL. One L"... Edgie Kokoski (WUNH-NH):
" I'm broke. I'm beat up. I'm overtired. I have a
billion records and cds to listen to. It means that I
survived H.U.S.T.L.E. 2004/CMJ!
First off, big shout out to my man Nasty Nes for
organizing an incredible event that helped to bring us
all back together again. Second off, big shout out to my
first fam The Double J and Doujah Raze for putting me up
at Trilogy HQ for the long weekend. These guys
put up with my drunkeness, polarized hip hop rants, bad
jokes and general defiling of their home. Honorable
mention to my new buddy DJ A-Beats for joining in the
fun. Of course, the trip had plenty of high lights and
low lights. What are they? Funny you should ask! I have
listed the most prominent below:
Highlights:
1. Getting to
New
York
and back without getting shot, stabbed, or fucked up.
2. Finding out that I was a taller man than Guru.
3. Finding the best digging spot in the world (courtesy
of Double J)
4. Going to Fat Beats and leaving without my credit
cards maxed out.
5. Seeing Heltah Skeltah perform.
6. Jumping in the booth with Doujah Raze to record a
skit for his upcoming album. (I got my 2.5 lines
right after about 50 takes.)
7. Seeing Doujah and DJ A-Beats nearly beat down some
scraggly hippie that cut us in line for a slice.
8. The outfit that Chase Killz was wearing at the Table
50 meet and greet.
9. The skee ball sized length of drink tickets that
Jessica and Shaw gave me at the Table 50 meet and greet.
10. Meeting Davey D, whose website I have visited
everyday for like the past 6 years.
Lowlights:
1. Getting to
New
York
and back. The Greyhound bus with the cesspool bathroom
is not traveling in style.
2. The price of drinks. The best was when I bought a $9
drink and some dumb bitch kicked it over 2 seconds
later. Trifling whore.
3. Lugging 75 pounds of vinyl in my bursting suitcase
thru the subway and Port Authority.
4. Going to Fat Beats and not finding enough vinyl to
max my credit cards out.
5. Seeing Jean Grae perform. I know everybody loves her
because she is a dope female rapper. But the bottom line
is that her bitchiness caused my Trilogy fam to get
bumped from the Thursday night line up. Then she got on
stage and complained about the crowd and said that "she
had better things to do". Maybe I'll have better records
to play when her next single comes out. Check yourself
Jean. You're not platinum yet baby!
6. Homeless people. The best was when I was on the train
and a homeless guy asked me and the crew for change by
calling us "caucasians". What an endearing way to
panhandle. "Shithead" or "Honkey" would have at least
been a more humorous approach...
7. Watching the Red Sox get demolished 19-8 and almost
dashing my hopes for this series.
8. Meeting Ali Shaheed Muhammad, who was cool, but told
me that the Tribe reunion was a no-go.
9. Not sipping on any "Incredible Hulk"
10. Getting about as much action as a third string
quarterback.
Overall though, a great experience with some great
people. I want to thank everybody who built with me or
gave me records/drinks. I love y'all for that! Here's my
random shout out list in no particular order: Double J,
Doujah Raze, DJ A-Beats, Nasty Nes, Jessica, Shaw,
Chase Killz, Alma, Wes Jackson, Doug Nyce,
Guru, Solar, Ali Shaheed Muhammad,
Statik Selektah, Krumb Snatcha, Kev Brown,

missed you, except my apologies. I'm still a little
hungover"... DJ Yoshi
