LET'S GET LIVE WITH KID SENSATION!
For those that don't
know my musical history, before I recorded music as
Xola
www.myspace.com/xolamusic,
I started out as a
teenager with Sir-Mix-A-Lot under the alias "Kid
Sensation."
Alongside Anthony (Sir-Mix-A-Lot),
I was one of the MC's
that helped Seattle get on the Hip-Hop map. Along the
way, I had ups, downs, a million units sold (over 4
cd’s), the label (Nastymix) folded, but I believe
everything happens for a reason. My prior CD's were
considered by many to be classics, but were out of print
and unavailable... I had no clue what to do being young
and not so business savvy.
Now through a deal with Burnside Recordings, I've
been able to compile
my past CD's, and bring new music projects to the table.
The prior CD's will be available coming soon.
New Kid Sensation release NOW AVAILABLE "Back
Home" featuring two Ken Griffey Jr. tracks, the
20th anniversary edition of my almost gold debut single
"Back to Boom", the street burner INFERNO, and 12 other
heaters.. The site
www.kidsensation.com
is up but still a work in
progress... I've removed all objectionable
language/material from prior Kid Sensation CD's, for
remaster, and re release. This has been a huge
breakthrough for me! After all I've been dragged
through, cheated out of, and deceived on, my fractured
past is beginning to fall into place.
As most everyone knows, Griffey's back with the
Mariners! His return created huge buzz in the media.
On radio it caused a resurgence of a nostalgic rap duet
piece I conned- ahem... I mean humbly requested my good
buddy Ken to record with me entitled "The Way I
Swing".... If you never got a chance to hear the
original you can hear it at:
http://www.imeem.com/people/s23b9M/music/hke1ntx7/kid-sensation-the-way-i-swing-ken-griffey-jr/
Yes, that's actually Ken and I flowin, he was maybe 23
(he's got me by a couple) you can tell how young we
sound :) see the attached promo picture...
KUBE93FM
recently honored me with a request to record a track
welcoming him back home. It features myself and Ken
(sound drops and rhymes from the original release). Jump
onto the link below, to hear snippets of both Griffey
tracks.
KUBE has given this song a nice number of spins, but
please spread the word, have everyone you know call
(206.421.9393) email (karenwild@kube93.com)
or text (97373) the station and request the track if you
want to hear it. As opening day gets closer, the story
and song will build, the Seattle Times
interviewed me, Fox Sports Network plans a
feature, and I'll be on KUBE to promote... With your
support, it will continue to bubble!
On to the present and future: Those who know me well
know- God is my source, and my heart is in
serving my community, especially the kids. Aside from my
own kids, I have a heart for every young person in the
world. I simply believe in their potential, and I
dedicate my life/career to do my part in setting an
example, and serving them first. Through The Boys and
Girls Clubs of South Puget Sound, and many other
sources, I strive to give them all a piece of me. I want
my days on this earth to be remembered for what I gave
and who I served, as well as my music. My career is what
I do, but not who I am.
I'm
also part owner of an energy drink company Hench Hench (www.henchhench.com)
check us out, drink with both hands, and FEEL THE HENCH!
(strength). We will be doing some revolutionary things
with the drink and music company, stay tuned...
The Xola Project "My Heart, My Soul, My Music" is coming
soon. It’s my first release as Xola rather than Kid
Sensation and it will reflect all of the above
mentioned... The world will get a look into my life; I
took the road of transparency hoping something I've
survived might draw a connection with one many. My
journey through this thing called life has had every
imaginable twist and turn... God gave me a gift to put
it together in a compelling fashion (I hope others
agree).
Summer 2009 on Hench Hench Music.
Anyhow, those who support, download the Kid album, it’s
9 bucks, a good listen, and please pass it on to
everybody. You can preview snippets and buy it at this
link...

Bert

has been scheduled to introduce Rap Fest Radio on
Holy Culture Radio on March 24th of
this year. The show is a Christian Hip Hop and Reggaeton
Podcast that combines years of Christian Hip Hop
ministry experience and an in-depth look at the current
state of the Christian Hip Hop community through live
interviews.
Together with Brother E as the co-host for select

will take you beyond backstage into the hearts and lives
of your favorite artists in the genre. The kick-off show
for the HCR Podcast will have Gessie Thompson
of the UpLift Group, Katalyst and
Trig of Holy Culture as the featured guests.

Ambassador. They will also take you on a tour of
Katalyst's ministry and music and also discuss the
recent ILLSPOT and HCR merger with Trig. Listen in as

comedic flair shows that its ok to have a good time in
Christ.

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

WE'VE
GOT SOME OF THE WORLD'S BEST DJ's! THE RAP ATTACK
DJ'S! GET TO KNOW OUR DJ's BY LOGGING ONTO:
www.MySpace.com/RapAttackLives AND PEEP OUR
UPDATED PHOTO PAGE...
Rap
Attack takes a "WHAT'S UPPER" look this week with:
Kazzeo
(KHDC-CA):
"Checked out the movie Fanboys a couple days ago and it
was pretty funny. Basically the movie is about 4 friends
from Ohio who jump in a van on a mission to break into
Skywalker Ranch in Northern Cali to steal an advance
copy of Star Wars "The Phantom Menace" before it opens.
Along the way they get into a bunch of funny shit and
get into multiple fights with their arch enemies, Star
Trek fans. This is a really entertaining flick, and if
you're a true Star Wars fan, you'll dig it.
Andre 3000 got popped for doing 109 (!) in a 65.
What the hell is he thinking? There's no other adjective
to use her other than stupid.
Congratulations to Run DMC who was inducted into
the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. It's more than deserved.
It really sucks that Jam Master Jay won't be
there physically to be part of it.
I saw some one on Facebook ask the question
whether or not anyone thought the beef between 50
Cent & Rick is real. My reply was "a better
question is who gives a shit". And I'm out"...
DJ
Sage (CFRO-Vancouver): "Here is the 411 as
far as our latest show goes. Our first guest of the
night was Octavian a talented, positive, up and
coming rapper
repping Boston. However, as we discussed in our
interview Hip-Hop wasn’t his first passion, but rather
football. Octavian did proclaim that Hip-Hop was and
continues to be the thing that focuses his energy and
mind. Focused he is at becoming a rap superstar just
putting out “Street Credentiaz Vol. 1 Mixtape” hosted by
Statik Selektah, which is available for free DL
at his myspace. In addition, Octavian told us to be on
the look out for his debut album “Judgement Day” coming
soon, but the homie did give us a couple exclusives.

We were also joined by Calgary Hip-Hopper
Teekay, one half of Dragon Fli Empire. This
duo has been making moves in Canada now for over 5yrs;
releasing 4 albums including their latest work
“Redefine” on Makebelieve Records. “Redefine”
builds on the upbeat, jazzy, positive vibes that have
been making this duo stand out from the pack. Dragon Fli
Empire is joined by like-minded friends such as Josh
Martinez, Ohmega Watts, Masta Ace, Moka Only, etc,
as they create an soundtrack perfect for the shiny days
that lie ahead this Spring and Summer.

Nesto
(WODU-VA):
"What's up people? I have an announcement to make. I am
leaving the Hip-Hop community for good. I have found a
new community, and that's country music. I have come to
realize that I'm too old to be doing this Hip-Hop thing
anymore. I just can't see myself out there doing the
stanky leg with all them youngins, and dropping it low
anymore. Yeah I'll watch the ladies drop it low and all
that, but I can't take part in it anymore. This new job
I have has me out in the country and country music rules
here. I have to conform to what is in my environment so
I don't stick out like a sore thumb. It's already bad
enough that I'm filipino but get mistaken for a mexican
guy. And around here mexican people aren't liked too
much by the locals. That's 2 strikes against me in this
red neck, hill billy place. So I figure if I start
jamming out to country music, and start rocking the big
belt buckle and boots I may start to fit in a little. So
with sad regret this is going to be my last chart, and I
am giving up Hip-Hop music. Thanks for the memories, and
if you ever want to listen to some good country music,
hit me up. We can kick back in my truck and sip on some
beers or something... yee-haw people... SYKE
bitches..... now that's a April Fools for your
ass... I'm a Hip-Hop junkie people. I'm not going
anywhere.. haha"...
Nate
Abney
(WKDU-Philly): "Well it has been an interesting
week to say the least. I get caught in hailstorm. I
haven't been in one of those since I was with
The1Shanti and JJ Brown at Penn State,
they just don't happen in Philly. I fought a slight
stomach virus of some kind. Maybe that new virus caries
over into food too. Villanova is in the Final
Four for the first time since I was 7 and I am now
31. This quarter of a century stuff is getting out of
control. Keep the good music coming and no crazy April
Fool jokes please. God Bless"...
D-Tragic

(WCBN-MI): "It's DJ Chill Will of 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's going on Peoples? It's been a busy week with
the clubs and the Final Four coming to town. For
those in town check me out at the Eclipze lounge on
Saturday. Big shout to to DJ Mark EP, Young
Buck and all the people at the spot last week.
Standing room only and no trouble, just what I like to
see. For more information about me DJ Chill Will go to

Mel
Boogie
(CKLN-Canada): "We know it’s been a few weeks
since our last newsletter and here’s the scoop – as some
of you may already know, the infrastructure at CKLN
88.1FM has been in turmoil for the past 18 months,
with some serious infighting between two groups of board
members. The infighting escalated to the point where the
Student Union at Ryerson University (home of CKLN
88.1FM), has the station on ‘LOCK OUT. Simply put,
ALL programmers have been locked out of the station, and
no new programming is airing until the situation is
resolved.
Originally it was hoped that things would be worked out
within a few weeks, but a month later, things are still
in poor shape – it’s truly unfortunate that it’s the
community and volunteer programmers (some of whom have
been at the station for over 20 years), are the ones who
have to shoulder most of this burden. THANK YOU for
all your emails and calls to find out what happened, and
show your support of our show and the station itself!!!
What
does this mean for DD RADIO?? Well, you know
we’re soldiers!! Our home is at CKLN, but while we wait
patiently for things to work out, one of our sister
stations has given us a temporary home. We still plan to
bring you the exclusive interviews, music and straight
heat that make DD RADIO the jewel that it is via our
podomatic page! In the meantime, we're still on the
heavy grind - no doubt!! Over the past month, we've done
a guest spot on
OTA Live, been on panels for International
Women's Day, rocked the mic at the Hip Hop
Karaoke 2nd Anniversary Party (well, Mel gave it her
best try and gained a whole new respect for MCs!!), and
of course you can still check us out LIVE
at various hot spots throughout the city, including
Girls Love Hip Hop Too (it's a birthday party for
JJ ROCK this Saturday alongside The Real Freqs
& Special Guest Agile!) and the Big Daddy Kane
concert – peep the flyers below to see where we’ll be!!
Having Monday nights off has also allowed us to catch
Canada's HOTTEST New Television drama,
The LINE, which premiered this month on The
Movie Network (Canada's HBO), starring Wes
"Maestro" Williams, Cle Bennet, Linda Hamilton, Sharon
Lawrence and Ed Asner -- peep the trailer
HERE !!
It's
that time of year -- VOTING for the Annual Canadian DJ
Awards is now open. It was an honor it was for
MelBoogie to take home Female DJ of the Year 2008,
but this year we're setting our sights a bit higher and
would like your nomination for College Radio Show of
the Year!!"...
