What's upper? Happy Columbus Day! I'd like to quote Papa-D (WRBB-Boston) on today's true meaning of, Columbus Day, " As far as today's "holiday"...what's that all about?? Why does Columbus, a half-assed explorer who thought he was in India, get a friggin' holiday!?!? In every job I have had if you screwed up that bad, you wouldn't get the 'employee of the month' award so I'm not sure why Columbus is so heralded....beats me!"...

Chris "DJ Kristyles" Westbrooks
2000 Forester Street
Harrisburg, PA 17104"...

Dan Shores (WHRW-NY): "First of all, extra large shout outs to Nasty-Nes. For all the man has gone through, accusations and such, it's refreshing to see him find happiness and be engaged. Much love to Nes and his future wife.

Secondly, I've been doing a weekly event playing beats and breaks, original samples, jazz, reggae, dub and afro-beat at this local spot. Any extra samplers, flyers or magazines that any labels are itching to get rid of can be utilized here for giveways. It'd be much appreciated"...

Jason-D (RadioBoise.Org): " I would like to say thank you to all promoters for lacing me with the music, we're sounding better than ever thanks to all of you. Extra shouts to Rahshiene @ Interscope for the Obie Trice "Wanna Know" record. Wow. The new 50 joints are hot too. Good to see Interscope looking out. I'm also checking for the new Atmosphere "Watch Out" and I've got both Little Brother albums (Minstrel Show & Chitlin Circuit) in heavy rotation on the iPod. Man those dudes are doin it. Extra, extra shouts to Nasty Nes on his engagement. Congrats dude!"...

Shinyo (WNHU-CT): " Ghostface was in Elm City last night tearing shit down at Toad's Place. Duke put on a hell of a show, although I wish he woulda came on earlier as there's a 1AM curfew on weeknights (weak-night) in New Haven. RA the Rugged Man did about five joints including the last two singles from Die, Rugged Man, Die as well a few older cuts. iCON the Mic King DJ'd (he pressed play on the CDJ) and also ended up doing the same for Ghost and crew. Tru Life came on between Rugged and Tony Starks, but he had too many damned hypemen and at that point everybody wanted to see Ghost. Much love to Swollen Members who put on the tightest set of the night with energy to match. Not a bad way to spend a Tuesday night"...
 

L-Precise (CJSF #2-Canada): "Thanks to everyone who made my first Power Summit experience a great one... D-Powers, B-Mello, Jessica (spectre), Jayforce, Kate Wolfson, Latin Prince, Buddy (Global), Ivan (Universal Canada) and everyone else... next week I'll have a write up of the events with some pics (see photo above)"...

Max Brown (WMHB-ME): "What's up y'all?! I hope everyone is doing well. From what I've been hearing, the Power Summit turned out alright, and people even managed to have a little fun while they were down in the Bahamas! ;) Things have pretty nutty for me on campus, trying to get all my work done and figure out "what I'm going to do for the rest of my life." But fortunately, I've had some crazy music to keep my spirits up! My mailbox has been an unquaffable grail of Holy Shit Hip Hop! Too much good stuff to name here, so I'm just gonna get right into it! Hit me up anytime (917) 647 2915, or on email, if there's anything I can do for you!
P.S. Does anyone happen to know the names of some of the big Law Firms that specialize in Music? It's kind of a random question"...
