Upper?
Props to
artists' Musab, Octavian & El Greco
for lacing us with their knowledge on last weeks' "RAP
ATTACK CONF CALL"...
Sullee's
label Old South End Records have inked a

Congrats...
Philippine Hip Hop is in Mourning with the Death of
Francis Magalona, who intoduced rap and Hip-Hop to
the Pinoy masses and practically opened the doors and
introduced it to the Philippines. He died of Lukemia at
age 45. (R.I.P.)...
Cypress
Hill
is back in the studio wrapping up its first new album
since 2004, with hopes to release it in the fall on
Suburban Noize Records. "We're mixing right now,"
says B-Real, who just released his first solo
album, "Smoke N Mirrors.". He describes the group's new
music as "gritty. It's aggressive. It's like Hip-Hop
straight-up. We just felt like we needed to go back to
that raw, gritty Hip-Hop sound but try to find a way to
bridge it with what's going on now." B-Real says the
as-yet-untitled album will have input from pals
Everlast, Evidence and The Alchemist,
but he didn't anticipate many other guests. "We don't
really do a lot of collaborations in Cypress. We keep it
in house." The group members have been mostly working
on their own projects since 2004's "Til Death Do Us
Part" and a split with Columbia Records, their
longtime label home...
Arash's
debut album, "Transcripted Thoughts" independently
released through SoFull Entertainment, now has
two #1 singles that has charted: "Howudoin?" and "Rise."
The album is a cross of Marvin Gaye meets Mos
Def and is reminiscent of the sound of the Golden
Era of Hip-Hop. If you like quality music, then this
album is for you.
On that note, for a limited time, Arash is posting the
album on his dj website
http://www.shammydee.com for free download.
You need to register to become a member (if you haven't
already, only takes 2 minutes) and you'll find the
members link where you can download and enjoy the
album...
If
you’ve lived in LA for any length of time, you’ve bumped
him in your ride on a Friday night. He’s worked at your
favorite radio stations - Power 106 and 100.3
The Beat and any hot club from here to Japan.
They’ve called him the “Hardest Working DJ on the West
Coast,” but we just call him DJ Hideo (see photo
below). If you’re on this site, then you’re wondering if
the rumors are true. Unfortunately, they are. DJ Hideo
has cancer.We are all in prayer for Hideo, his daughter
Danny and the entire Sugano family. Please
log onto his site for more info on how you can help
Hideo:

and this website is intended to keep people
alerted about Hideo's progress. Please visit
www.djhideo.com for all information...

DJ'S! GET TO KNOW OUR DJ's BY LOGGING ONTO:

UPDATED PHOTO PAGE...
Rap
Attack takes a "WHAT'S UPPER" look this week with:
Nate
Abney (WKDU-Philly):
"This is a good cause I am a part of so I thought I
would let you know about it. I am involved in an annual
golf outing with my brother and father's fraternity(Kappa
Alpha Psi), that takes place every June in
Mainland,Pennsylvania. The outing is to raise money for
the Community Advocates Association for
Children&Youth. The organization also known as CAACY
helps counsel troubled youth and their families and
their is also a scholarship fund for the Kappa Alpha
Psi's Delta Theta Alumni chapter. The brochure is in the
attachment. All who are interested can contact the Golf
Committee list and send all registration to address
listed. So please join us on Monday June 15,2009 for a
great cause. On another note, Spring is in the air and
the playoffs are close. March Madness is here and here
is hoping Villanova and Temple make the
Final Four( I'm such a homer). Hopefully Cole Hamel's
elbow is good and the Phils can start their title
defense without worries. The Sixers beat the
Lakers at the buzzer and I love it anytime Kobe
loses. Good to see En Vogue back together
with all the original members"...
Chill
Will (WCBN-MI):
"It's DJ Chill Will of the University of
Michigan's WCBN 88.3 FM. Home of the longest
running of radio Hip Hop Show in the Mid-West and maybe
the country. Be sure to tune into the show weekly on
88.3 FM. in the Ann Arbor/metro Detroit area. or at
www.wcbn.org Saturday from 9pm to 12
midnight est.
What happenin all? I wanna send a big shout to everyone
who came by the show on Thursday. It was standing room
only and glad the fire marshall didn't know. LOL!!!
There's some hot music coming out for the headz and for
the clubs. The joint from JRPH7 called Top Rank
featuring Black Milk and Gulity Simpson.
Joint is fire trust me(And I added this week). Then for
the club Sullee got a new joint called Sippin
featuring Busta Rhymes. This joint is a club
banger for sure. For more information about me DJ Chill
Will go to
www.myspace.com/djchillwill734...
DJ Sage (CFRO-Vancouver, Canada): "We
started things off by featuring a sick album by The
Grouch and Eligh “Say G&E! Vol. 4”, which isn’t even
officially out until April 7. However, in honor of a
couple big shows G&E have coming up including SXSW
and annual “Paid Dues” Hip-Hop festival we thought
we should give our listeners the exclusive sneak peak.
This album reminds my of another album myself and
O-Dog are still bumping, 88 Keys “Death Of
Adam”, similarly this album has a mix of sounds and
guests (Gift of Gab, Pigeon John, Blu, Mistah Fab,
etc) that all work to form an enjoyable musical
experience. Check the myspace for all the dates on the
upcoming “Say G&E” tour.
www.myspace.com/thegrouch
Speaking of Hip-Hop shows there is a couple
gigs worth checking out in Vancouver this week.
Including this upcoming Thursday at Shine Nightclub
where Jeff Spec and Edge will be
performing in support of their new EP “Ghetto Laundry”.
We had Jeff Spec and NaRai drop by the studio to
talk about this release as well as Narai’s upcoming
release “Color On Your Canvas”. Plus, another one of
their upcoming shows, which has them opening up for
Talib Kweli this Monday at Gossip. They are
definitely doing it big. If you need proof here is the
link to download “Ghetto Laundry” free of charge.

And for our grand finale of shows you need to
peep last week, Saturday, March 21st has Necro at
Richards on Richards with DJ Sage on the one's and
two's. Definitely looking forward to warming this show
up, peeping Necro’s performance, and link up some good
people from the T-Dot (shout outs to Brent, Alex,
and DJ Shortcut).

D-Tragic
(805HipHop.com): "New Tracks just added to 80.5FM – be sure to peep out the new
joint from Ghostface Killa & DOOM and that
Jessica from Spectre sent out called
ChinaTown Wars. That track is produced by hit produce
OHNO of Stones Throw Records. Don’t be the
last one’s to blaze this track in your market! It’s fire
Im tellin ya! That’s our # pick for this week! I also
received a DOPE track from Beanie Segal called
“Mack’s back” of the State Property/DefJam
label. Be sure to check those out.
I am
working with a new artist now. His name is 12 Grand.
You may have seen him on our charts as of recent, but
you will be seeing more coming from him. I wold like to
get you to know about him as we travel down the road
with new releases and shows. He is very talented and has
a dope sound. He features production by Kankick,
Philly Blunt, and a few others. Real sick beats, and
real Hip-Hop to vibe to on the streets ! Be sure to keep
your ear on the streets for him. I would appreciate it a
lot if you would consider listening to his music and
sending me some feedback and let us know what you are
feeling and what you’re NOT feeling if so. 12 Grand’s
music will definitely work on college radio. Hit me back
and be on the lookout for a new single next week!!"...
Nesto
(WODU-VA):
"What's up people? Is it me or is this whole 50
bullshit with Rick Ross just a big "my dick is
bigger then yours" contest and a complete waste of time.
I see that 50 has gotten a chick that is supposed to be
one of Ross's baby momma and got this chick making a
porn video. That just makes no sense to me, but maybe
that chick has a future in porn"...
Edgie
Kokoski
(WUNH-NH):
"Happy St. Patrick's Day to all of you drunks out
there! If you celebrated St. Patrick's Day, you are
probably reading this Wednesday morning, hungover. I've
never really gotten into St. Patrick's Day since I'm not
Irish and I think that the bars are crowded enough on
non-holidays.. Plus, I can't justify burning precious
vacation time to get drunk during the day unless there
is a Red Sox or NY Giants game involved.
Speaking of Red Sox, hometown hero Kevin
Youkilis commented on how disappointed he was at the
turnout of U.S. fans for the World Baseball Classic. He
said each game is like "Being the Away Team in your own
country". Don't get my wrong, I like Youk, but he should
realize:
1. The friggin' regular baseball season is already 162
mind-numbing games. It's like going out for ice cream
before a buffet.
2. I'm still scrapping together pennies to buy the one
set of outrageously priced Red Sox tickets that I will
be able to afford this year.
3. I'm pretty sure that they have this other thing where
countries play against each other competitively. It's
called the Olympics.
Yes, I don't need to see the stars from each country
slug it out for three weeks straight. Maybe just one
weekend round-robin tourney? Single elimination style -
just like March Madness (which I could also care less
about). And the last place team has to do a bunch of
steroids just to make next year more interesting.
If you were feeling old for some reason this week, take
solace in the fact that Flavor Flav turned 50.
Actually, that isn't very comforting at all. Despite
being mentally deranged, VH1 still found
women to swoon over his starving Ethiopian style body at
that age. Twice. Yuck.
Kid Cudi quitting rap? That's what he says. He
claims that being a big rap star is more drama then he
encountered when he was "piss broke". Cudi continues to
explain that he is tired of being the subject of gossip.
"I already went to high school once, and got expelled,
because it wasn't for me. I'ma drop out of this s**t
before n****s try to crucify me". Boo Hoo for you. I
didn't even know this dude well enough to hate him yet,
but these quotes are enough for me. I'll bet he got
mocked and expelled from school because he was smarter
than the other kids.
I thought the Coolio robbery/arrest news bit from
last week was as low as it goes. But here comes former
Fugee Pras, who is being sued by homeless people
for impersonation a homeless person! Pras went in
disguise to film a documentary entitled "Skid Row", and
is now being sued by his homeless co-stars who feel
betrayed by his deception. What does it say about Pras
when homeless people don't want him being "the face" of
homeless people? Maybe they were investors in the
"Ghetto Superstar" album. That would sure give them an
axe to grind"...
