What's
upper? Hope everyone had a great & blessed Easter...
Last
Sunday night was one of the best HBO nights as
the new season of both "Sopranos" and "Entourage"
debuted. Both were absolutely da ISH!. I also caught
Ice Cube's new motion picture, "Are We Done
Yet?" and I'm giving his sequel two thumbs up. No doubt
a very, very funny movie & if you have kids, bring em
cause it's a fun family movie you will all enjoy
together. Props to Ice Cube who came correct on a whole
new tip...

ATTACK MIXTAPE
reporter, DJ Technic outta the NYC, has got 2
new joints he just dropped & both are PHAT! "The Rite
Price" takes the classic sample from Bob Barker's
"The Price Is Right" TV game show & Technic does wonders
with it on the mic! This is a fun party joint. "Get Up N
Da Club" has a coo Southern grind & eerie gangsta feel
to it but worth playin' too! You can download both
tracks by logging on to:

tip, DJ EFN reppin'
Miami
can be seen in the May 2007 issue of XXL Magazine.
Much props...
True
Terror Squad heads will remember the Bleach
Brothers from nearly 10 years ago as they made their
debut on their album. Well, the Bleach Brothers are back
in the '07 with "Immortal" featuring Jim Jones.
These kats are on FIYA. The Bleach Brothers are a two
member group which consists of Reka (aka Rek
Norris) and Dirtman (aka Dirt Da Rock
Morocco). The tag team hails from Jersey and Queens
respectively and was formerly known as Q-Jru.
Reka is a hard hitting mc from the Flushing QUEENS
project “POMONOK HOUSES” who holds it down for the New
York and Queens side of things, while Dirt holds it down
from the other side of the Goethals Bridge (Dirty
JERSEY). This group was formed in late 96’ due to an old
friend R.A the Rugged Man setting up a meeting
between Tommy’ O Rourke, Reka and Dirt man. But
the mc’ing of both of these characters dates back to the
late 80’s as they are not new to the game and have paid
their dues. The Bleach Brothers, then known as Q-jru
were featured on MTV’S return of the “white rapper”
segment alongside of Dr. Dre’s new artist
& protoge Eminem and were dubbed as Q-jru the
“hard hitting bridge and tunneller’s who have the
credibilty and talent to hit big”. After the show aired
Q-jru went on to change their name to “The Bleach
Brothers” and were featured on the Terror Squad self
titled Album w/ Fat Joe and Triple Seis.They
did this collaboration shortly after performing at
spring break with TS and slightly before the
death of Big Pun (R.I.P). For more info, log

(KPFT-Houston):
"Hope all is well. Once again I want to thank you for
all the support for the past 5 years. It's time for me
to move on to other things. I found someone to take over
on the charting with Rapattack Lives for KPFT. He
goes by the name Grinch or Mr. Grinch. He
was my co-host for 4 years on LateNiteSnax and was there
from the beginning. He also is a part of the Soular
Grooves Collective where we all rotate w/ DJ Sun's
show on Saturdays. Here's his contact info:

Phone Number: 713-775-0431
Thank you again for everything"...
DJ
Raize (Mixtape-New York): "I recently released an
online mix for one of the most overlooked producer in
the game: Ski Beatz. Dude produced Feelin'
It, Dead Presidents, Streets Is Watchin', People Talkin,
Luchini, Cheapskate, John Blaze, and the whole
Camp Lo
album. Peep out the mix hosted by Ski Beatz and mixed by
yours truly. It's an Audio Discography mix with his hits
mixed with the samples he used. Got an unreleased Camp
Lo Track "Ticket 4 Two" and an unreleased Jean Grae
track off her New Album. 1000 Downloads in 1 week can't
be wrong. It's a good look.

Beatz, Rhymes & Samples: SKI BEATZ is a mixtape
dedicated to, and hosted by, one of the most overlooked
producers in Hip-Hop history. Since his groundbreaking
work with the Bizzie Boyz to his early 90's work
as a member of Original Flavor, Ski Beatz has
produced some of the greatest Hip-Hop songs ever - but
dont take our word for it - just ask Marley Marl
who once stated that if he could have produced any
single song in Hip-Hop history that it would have been
"Streets Is Watching" (Jay-Z, produced by Ski
Beatz) ... This free mixtape (mixed by DJ Raize of Bklyn)
features many of Ski's classic productions
(Jay-Z, Camp Lo, Fat Joe, Pacewon, etc.) mixed in with
the original records that he sampled to create the
beats. Towards the end you'll get to check out a few new
tracks that Ski recently produced for artists such as
Cover, Jean Grae and Camp Lo"...
Damian Rodriguez
(KGNU-CO):
"Hey all, why is it when people ask for feedback
& it isn’t sugarcoat cuz the song is wack, they get mad?
Isn’t that what u wanted & better to know the truth
about what djs think about your artist/project? Damn, we
got a million songs out there each day that come out to
fill up our mailboxes. Make you shit hotter than the
other 999,999. Most of the regular industry heads are
tuff skinned enough to deal with it, however a few,
local cats, indy people working their own projects …just
cant handle not being the best thing since sliced bread.
Again, go back to the studio…..Make you shit hotter than
the other 999,999. Just a thought. Enough ranting. I am
looking forward to seeing NAS in concert live. I
havn’t seen him since I ruled the world was big…that’s
10+ years ago, so I’m expecting a dope show.
***ghetto highlight of the week:
At
one of my spots djing and this guy comes up to me to req
a song….he’s got this shirt on & it’s pretty self
explanatory.
Moral:You’re
ghetto when your wearing your response/rebuttal when a
girl shuts you down, gives you no play, for wearing that
shirt, you tell her……
**ghetto highlight #2:
At Hollywood video (similar to blockbuster) and a ghetto
lady complaining about driving 2 miles down to the other
store, where she drove in the first place, to return the
dvd movie she rented, was too far. The clerk said he’d
mail it 2 miles down the road, but she’d get charged.
After making the stink, she leaves the dvd & goes back
to the car. An innocent drunk bystander lady (about 350
lbs) got pissed, followed her outside & jumped on her
hood, & theyz fightin. She broke part of her leg (we
later found out) but was so drunk her 350lb ass couldn’t
feel it. I think just justice served itself.
Moral:You’re
really ghetto when you can’t drive to the original place
of movie rental. That falls in the category of exxxxtra
lazy. 2 miles? C’mon, and they had a car! The funny
thing is, the one who wasn’t lazy enough to open a can
of whoop azz w/ a broken leg was the fat chick. How
ironic is this true story?"...

of the Sharpshooters for coming through with
deep crates and a hot new instrumental CD. Dude dropped
rare gem after gem then gave our listeners an exclusive
listen to his new CD The Sureshot Symphony
INTERLUDE TO AN INTRO/INTERLUDE TO AN OUTRO. Don't
sleep on this dude's beats"...
Edgie
Kokoski
(WUNH-NH):
"It’s begun. I endlessly circled the parking lot last
night looking for a space outside the building that
houses our radio station. “Damn, it’s unusually crowded
for a Monday night,” I silently observed. After finding
a remote vacancy, I trudged up the stairs in my normal
surly manner, dodging what seemed like above average
throngs of giddy college students. As I reached the
second floor mezzanine, I noticed large screen TVs and
speakers strewn around. And as my gaze continued down
the hall, I saw the horrific sight that I have dreaded
for months now. John Edwards on a platform giving
a speech. Fuck. The candidates have invaded… On Sunday,
take a moment and offer up some quiet thanks. Sunday
marks the return to Earth of one of the most important
people in human history. This man was a great leader.
This man was followed by many and doubted by even more.
This man revolutionized the world we live in. He
inspired us. This man suffered, so that you and I could
lead enriched lives today. He was more than a mere
mortal. His name is Tony Soprano"...
