The son of legendary rapper Joseph "Run"
Simmons of Run DMC was arrested for
possession of marijuana on Friday night. Joseph "JoJo"
Simmons Jr. allegedly bought weed and was seen
rolling the illegal substance in the Upper West Side of
Manhattan. Sources say the 19-year-old was inside a car
when he was apprehended and that he tried to escape by
reversing and almost struck a police vehicle. Simmons
Jr. was charged with resisting arrest, attempted
reckless endangerment and criminal use of drug
paraphenalia in addition to the possession charge...

anti-gun and violence rally in Harlem, NY. Assisting the
Atlanta

LAST
NIGHT A DJ SAVED A LIFE…. THE REALEST SH#T I'VE EVER
SEEN
by: Vader (WonderTwinZ)
HERE
ARE THE STATS:
-
98,668 people nationwide waiting for organ
transplants right now.
- 28,352 transplants performed last year.
- 14,393 donors last year.
- 6,411 people died waiting for an organ
transplant last year.
- 17 people die each day waiting for a
transplant.
- 1 person is added to the waiting list every 12
minutes.
If
you could save someone’s life, would you? My brother is
a well-known HipHop DJ who has built-up his name through
hard work, a dedicated hustle, and his sharing nature.
My brother has a work ethic like none I’ve ever seen.
He’s the type of guy to set his mind on something and
truly complete it. He decided one day he wanted to start
getting healthy and become a runner. Now, 9 years later,
he’s up every morning and completes 10 miles on the
treadmill before 9am. His drive and determination has
always amazed me. Since he was a little kid, he was
always the type to split his food and offer you half.
Collectively my brother and I have been working hard to
help other musicians in need. Almost 10 years ago, my
brother developed The Original HipHop Yellow Pages (The
Connex List). This magazine shares contact
information of individuals that can help out the careers
of independent HipHop artists. Sharing info and helping
others seemed like common sense to my brother. People
have never stopped thanking him for his help and he’s
never stopped offering.
My brother aka DJ Sonic, and myself are known as
The Wonder TwinZ. We’ve both achieved some
amazing goals and accomplishments in our lives. We are
the tour DJs for HipHop Icons, Naughty By Nature
and have traveled around the globe to DJ in dozens of
foreign countries. We are celebrating our 8th year as
the hosts and DJs of our own morning show on SiriusXM
Satellite Radio. Our magazine, The Connex List, is in
its 10th year and still going strong. We’ve created an
empire for mass communications through our email system
(you probably have an email from us in your inbox right
now).
While we are extremely proud of all of these
accomplishments, none of them even compare to the heroic
accomplishment my brother has achieved this past week.
DJ Sonic is a true hero in my eyes and a true-life saver
in Will’s eyes.
Ya’ see… Will is one of our greatest friends from
childhood. We all grew up together with dreams of
becoming successful in the HipHop world. As the years
went on and we got older, Will developed diabetes and
eventually his kidney’s failed and he was added to the
7-year waiting list of patients in need of a transplant.
Will has been going to kidney dialysis treatment for a
while, which required him to go to the doctor 4 days a
week and hook up to a kidney dialysis machine for 6
hours each time. Throughout all of this, Will maintained
his good spirits and managed to suppress the thoughts of
him losing a battle to kidney disease, the same battle
that has taken the lives of almost 7,000 people last
year alone.
Once my brother realized that his homie’s life was in
jeopardy and without a kidney transplant Will might not
live long enough for this 7-year waiting list, he
immediately called the doctor and setup an appointment
to see if there was any way he could help Will out.
After one simple blood test, the doctor told my brother
that he was a match for Will’s blood type. The next
thing ya know, the two of them are taking care of all
the proper insurance paperwork and setting a date for
the actual surgery.
While this news was obviously good news, it still scared
our mother to think of her son going into a serious
surgery. There is always a chance of some infection that
could complicate the surgery or even claim the lives of
both my brother and my man Will. Needless to say, we
were all worried.
5am Tuesday morning we were at the hospital ready to see
a miracle. The doctors were going to perform two
surgeries back-to-back and transplant my brother’s
healthy kidney into Will’s body. 6 hours later, the
operations were done. The doctors said everything worked
out perfect and both my brother and Will spent the week
recovering at Stony Brook University Hospital.
My brother came home today and has been takin’ it easy,
as are the doctor’s orders. He’s a hustler by nature so
he’s back on his blackberry handling some light
business. Will’s health is getting better everyday and
the doctors say that will continue. At this time last
year, Will received some of the worst news of his life.
Now one year later, He’s back!!… and better than before.
My brother saved Will’s life and for that he is a true
hero. And I’m proud to be his brother...
Over
the past few months, whispers of trouble in paradise
between Hip-Hop star couple Nas and Kelis
have hit the wires and today the ineviteable happened:
Kelis filed for divorce. According to a report from
VIBE magazine, Kelis officially began the
process to end the four year marriage to the fiery
lyricist; she is citing irreconciliable differences. "I
can confirm that she has filed for divorce. We request
the media to respect her privacy during this very
difficult time," a rep told the outlet. Kelis is
currently seven months pregnant with the now defunct
couple's first child together...

Attack takes a "WHAT'S UPPER" look this week with:
Chill
Will (WCBN-MI):
"What's up everyone? It's been a great week and a
long Tuesday night. Had a couple of great interviews
with Doesya and Phoenix Flames on
Saturday. Then sat down and kicked it with Del The
Funky Homosapian and A-Plus. Who were in town
for a show that was ridiculous. First Bukue One
ripped the stage then Mike Relm did one of the
dopest video turntablism sets I've ever seen. If you
haven't seen him believe me dude is dope. Then Del and
A-Plus ripped the stage and had the crowd rhyming every
word. Dope show for sure!!!! For more information about
me DJ Chill Will go to
www.myspace.com/djchillwill734...
Edgie
Kokoski (WUNH-NH):
"I'm back in the saddle after spending four gorgeous
days on A1A Beachfront Avenue in Miami Beach. Contrary
to Robert Van Winkle's description, the
girls were elderly and thankfully wearing more than
bikinis (for the most part). There was plenty of old man
flab in the mix too. I counted (13) Swine Flu masks at
the airport, drank a $25 Mojito, got a pound of sand in
my swimsuit body surfing, and found a giant poop on the
floor in the poolside hotel bathroom. This trip had it
all!
I guess The Clipse must have heard me talking
about them last week. This week, group member Malice
wanted to clear the air about the accusations that
they glorify drug dealing in their music. "I am and
have been part of the problem,” Malice confessed. “I
need foolishness in my Hip-Hop. I need foolishness in my
movies, I happen to like that. A movie is not good
unless you got some bricks getting moved or people
getting killed. When I get in that booth and start
recording I can drive as many Bentleys as I want. I can
hop on as many G5’s or drop as many tops as I want.”
In a related story, Malice also announced that The
Clipse has recently changed the name of their
forthcoming LP from Till The Casket Drops to
We Are Retards.
Nas and Kelis are calling it quits? Yes,
it is true. What a loss for Nas. I mean Kelis had it all
going for her. Her beauty and ability to make good music
was rivaled only by Amil, Trina, Remy Ma and
Missy Elliot. Sorry. I just puked a little in my
mouth too"...
DJ
Sage (CFRO-Vancouver, BC): "Slamming radio
show last night here are all the details. First, we
featured D-Sisive's new album, “Let The
Children Die”. We were also joined by the Toronto
veteran over the phone to discuss the new project, which
features the likes of Kyprios, Guilty Simpson,
Buck 65 and many more, as well as production from
The Archaeologists, DJ Alibi, Moss
and plenty more. Don't sleep on this one! We also
discussed his recent Juno nomination, as well as
why today was a great day to celebrate! "Hooray!". Hit
him up at
www.myspace.com/dsisive for tour dates, tracks
and to check out the album!
We also got into an interview with the Ontario-born
Shad, who recently became a resident of Vancouver.
We discussed random Vancity spots as well as the Hip-Hop
scene and upcoming tour dates and projects from Shad.
Look for “The Old Prince” on the Warped Tour in
Vancouver in mid-August! Stop by
www.shadk.com
for tour dates and more!
Vancity's Nicest, Jay Kin, also stopped by the
studio to kick it with us! Freshly back from Japan, he
discussed his coast-to-coast Canadian Hip-Hop
extravaganza! Big! Hit Jay up at www.myspace.com/jaykin
for downloads and contact information pertaining to
shows and collaborations!
Outside of a host of dope guests, we also got into a
gang of new tracks, such as some new De La Soul
and the new single from the upcoming KRS-One &
Buckshot project! Check out the podcast now at
www.UrbanRenewalProject.net!...
Kazzeo
(KHDC-CA):
"This past weekend I finally caught this movie called
"Observe & Report" and man was it worth it. This movie
is HILARIOUS. I could not stop laughing. Whoever is
writing his material is doing an outstanding job. And
his delivery is perfect. You gotta see this movie if you
love raunchy humor. This is the one. Now on another
note, I'm hearing people say that Wolverine is better
than Iron Man. While I haven't seen Wolverine yet, I'm
highly skeptical of that claim because Iron Man was so
awesome. I'm gonna try to catch Wolverine this weekend
to make the comparison. I'm also looking forward to Star
Trek this weekend. The trailers look incredible. As do
the trailers for Transformers.
There's nothing better than celebrating Cinco De Mayo in
a strip club. Corona's, Negro Modelo's, Tecate's, Dos
Equis, and "thingie's" jiggling. It's good to be me.
That's all for this week. Look for me putting singles in
single mothers thongs at your local strip club"...
D-Tragic
(805HipHop.com): "What Uppers?? Checking in with
you to see what’s poppin? Anything new with you guys?
Well, over here I got some new heaters for this week for
ya. Be sure to hit me up if you need these. I got more
Fire from that Cat JAYROCK from TOP DAWG Ent.
New heater that G-UNIT COLLEGE shot me from
Lloyd Bank feat JAYROCK called “Real Recognize
Real”. Look s like Jayrock’s buzz is catching the
attention of some of the big cats on the block!I’ll be
sendingyou the new Lloyd banks today! Rep that on your
shows, in the club and on the streets. I hope to see
Jayrock sittin at the top reppin the west real soon! I
can ride with that cat fa sho! Be sure to check for
K-DOT from Top Dawg too. I just got a fire track
called F**k a HOOK. Track is DOPE! My man over at
Duck Down sent me the new Track by KRS-1 and
Buckshot “ROBOT”. That track is mad crazy son!
The track speaks on Autotune and rappers that need stuff
like that to succeed. Be sure to listen in to that and
send me some feedback on it when you get a
chance"...
