One of the big news right now in the Hip-Hop culture is the splitting up of Jurassic 5. As shocking as it sounds lets keep in mind that many groups dont stay together for 15 years. Sad but not lost Akil The MC has began to test the market with solo projects. Soon to release "Collection of Expressions" this is Akil's time to shine as show the hidden talents"...
 

Bishop Lamont has been hard at work lately. He’s been in the studio night and day recording music in preparation for an explosive 2007 for Aftermath Records. Bishop’s debut “The Reformation” is currently scheduled for early 2008, with Dr. Dre’s “DETOX” following shortly after. In the meantime, fans have been hearing DJ SKEE Presents Bishop Lamont’s “NIGGER NOIZE” which hit the streets hard in March 2007. In addition to a mix-tape called “The Pope-Mobile” slated for release early 2008 along with “CALTROiT” with partner in crime Black Milk. With some changes coming up for The Math as well as the recent signing of Tiffany Villareal, Dr. Dre and Bishop Lamont will have their hands full preparing for a new era of Aftermath and counting down to Bishop and Dre’s respective 2008 releases! Bishop will soon be hitting the studio with notible and respected Urban artists. No guest artists have officially been confirmed, but planned sessions with Eminem and 50 Cent are in order. Production on the anticipated LP is expected to come from Dr. Dre, Battlecat, DJ Premier, Scott Storch, The RZA, Pete Rock and others.

Rap Attack takes a "WHAT'S UPPER" look this week with:
Meddafore (Mixtapes-PA & FL): " Labels please update you files with my current address:

Miami, FL 33133

Edgie Kokoski (WUNH-NH): "I had one of the most incredible radio shows of my career this past week. About two hours before I was set to go on air, I learned that Sway Calloway of "The Wake Up Show" and MTV fame was in town to film a John Edwards forum. He came by our station and asked if we had a Hip-Hop show. When they replied "We do, and it's on tonight", Sway asked if he could hang out. Sure enough, he arrived promptly at the start of the show with an MTV camera crew trailing behind. The filmed for almost 35 minutes as Sway and I chopped it up about politics, Hip-Hop, the radio game, and his legacy in the music business. As the cameras packed up, I figured that was the end of our time. But Sway brushed off the camera crew and proceeded to hang out for another hour helping me co-host my show. He was an absolute pleasure to have on, and one of the most intelligent and humble guests that I've had. If you have a chance to build with him, I suggest taking advantage.

Today's show was pretty cool too as I got to hang with Witchdoctor and Khujo (Goodie Mob) from the Dungeon Family. They were really down to earth and didn't sugar coat anything as they discussed their struggles to make it in the rap game. Khujo even openly discussed his near fatal accident that left him as an amputee. Although I'm not always feeling the ATL sound, these dudes are on point as people"...
 

Jason-D (RadioBoise.org): "Spent the week in New Orleans y'all. My first time. The food was incredible and the people were really nice. They definitely still need a lot of help though. You can just tell by the amount of restaurants and bars in the downtown area what a thriving economy it used to be. There just isn't the volume of people to support it all right now. It was not uncommon to be in a bar with only 20 people and a live band. There's just no way anybody was making much money. The conference I was attending was right in the French Quarter and just a few blocks from Bourbon street. It was nice to finally visit the home of Mardi Gras, a place I had only seen before on COPS. I heard some incredible music too. Every night we hit a different spot listening to live bands playing blues, soul, and funk. I would go back in a minute and like I said, they could really use the help. You could tell there was a strong resentment towards the government... a lot of empty promises. Most shops sold t-shirts expressing that frustration. A couple of my favorites were, "FEMA - Fix Everything My Ass" and "FEMA Evacuation Plan (Run Bitch Run!)". Gotta support the N.O. y'all. Neva forget.All my shows are archived at: www.djjasond.com...

Kazzeo (KHDC-CA): "As a lifelong fan of the Raiders, I have seen some really bad times when it comes to losing streaks. But I've never seen any sort of team collapse as bad as the NY Mets just went through. Talk about completely falling apart. That was brutal.
And speaking of brutal, Britney Spears better be on suicide watch.
And as far as my Raiders go, Culpepper looked really good against the Dolphins. I'm hoping our momentum carries over the bye week.

My prediction - Phillies vs. Yankees in the World Series...
 

Nesto (WODU-VA): "What's good people? CMJ is almost here and yet again, I will not be able to enjoy the festivities. Sucks because it looks like there are going to be some dope shows going down this year, and I just want to get the hell out of VA for a minute to chop it up with everyone again in the city. Spectre is always doing it up big, and I'm sure Shaw has something planned. If I can make it up for a couple of days I will, but I'm not holding my breath on that. School is not the cause this year, but this jobby job I have is keeping me on lock. Ridiculous!!! I think it's time for a change.

Keep the hits coming, and as Edgie said, it looks like vinyl may be dead as far as the big leagues is concerned. Def Jam said the aren't pressing much if any wax, and Atlantic is only sending CDs or mp3s.. I guess it's kind of forcing DJs to pick up Serato or Torq. Especially the club DJs. Times have definitely changed"...
 

Nate Abney (WKDU-PA): "Yeah and it's on. I got a team in the playoffs for the first time since I was in 10th grade and another team who desperately needs a bye week. Given Andy Reid's track record I feel sorry for the Jets on the 14th. Looking forward to CMJ. I'll get to New York sometime on the 17th and as usual I have no place to stay as of yet. But after a few street smarts episode I find my way to some kind of shelter one way or the other. Till then keep all the freebies coming. Love the Prince Ali record with Keith Murray, Casual, and Planet Asia. Finally a track where everybody on it is actually good at the same time"...
 

EarthQuake (Live365.com): "Here comes the Seattle Seahawks. I know it was just the 49ers but they were on the road and they dominated on the defensive. They head into Pittsburgh this Sunday and because of the Superbowl 2 years I really don’t like them at all. It must be fall around here because the weather has really turned to the rain and wind. Gotta love Seattle weather!! Please check out the brand new internet show at www.live365.com/stations/quake551"...

DJ Yoshi (WPHH & Mixtapes-NJ): Once again, thanks to DJ Showtime for putting my a** on Power. I think the 1st week went ok.

Shouts to everyone that tuned in via the stream that couldn't hear it on the air. I definitely appreciate the support. Thank you to the folk that tuned in and emailed their comments: both good and bad. It's the only way that I'll become a better DJ.

So the big deal that I'm waiting to talk about is still on the table. As soon as the papers are signed & it's "official" that'll be the subject heading of the email!

For all those in the Vegas area, I'll be there from 10.12 - 10.15 on some mixed business/pleasure, so reach out and let's chill!

 I gotta talk about this album real quick before I get into the play list. KEYSHIA COLE. Just like You is the SH**! I'm telling you people, and I have been, this talented lady has written an album that a lot of you can probably relate to. The joint: Fallin' Out (#3) is a BANGER. I wouldn't be surprised if that's the 3rd single. It's already getting scattered airplay I believe. But seriously, BANGIN album. The last album to come out that was that good in my eyes was Justin's joint"...

DJ SA (KRUX-New Mexico): "If there is anyone that can service me with house/freestyle/club/high energy, please hit me back, that is what they are feelin out at the club, and im running low on what I've got, if at all possible, please send wax to:
