Rap Attack takes a "WHAT'S UPPER" look this week with:

DJ Luicidal (KSJS-CA): "Cloudy week here in the Bay Area. I have been busy preparing for finals week here at SJSU. :ast Saturday was the Bring It Back Tour Web Launch Party in San Jose! Featuring Roch, Kenetic Source, Reef the Lost Cauze, Bash Bros., Rollin Rockers, Elements of Style, and E-Sik. Gonna be a hype event! Look for Bring It Back on the Van's Warped Tour this summer. I'm also looking forward to Nneka, Nas, and Damien Marley this week at the Fox Theatre in Oakland. Hope everyone is doing well"...

Chill Will (WCBN-MI): "What's up people? Gonna keep it short but big shout to my dude Bizarre who came by the show and has a new album that came out on Tuesday. One single from the album is "Raps Finest" with Royce "Da 5'9" and Red Man check it out. Also shout to everyone I ran into while rocking the Devin Tha Dude show at The Blind Pig. All I can say is "SMOKE, SMOKE, SMOKE" Lol For more information about me DJ Chill Will go to www.myspace.com/djchillwill734 or www.twitter.com/chillwill734 "...

Shareef Abdullah (WRFL-KY): "Peace...all 5 adds this week are surefire heat! Leading the pack is the ridiculous dope Reef the Lost Cauze's "I'm A G!!" The slow and smooth sounds of Infinite Supreme One's "Showdown" brings back memories of the 90's...and the banging melody of Cimer Amor's "Another Classic" sends chills up the spine...and can't forget about the new pimp anthem from Wais P. who gets a healthy dose of raw boom bap courtesy of Scram Jones...dope ish all around...keep it moving!!"...

Nate Abney (WKDU-Philly): "What up all. The Flyers are rolling and now I'm thinking I may be walking down a blocked off Broad Street soon. The weather a little wet this week but I'm not sick so that's good. There are some good shows coming here so maybe I'll get out the house and away from my niece and go to a few. Will keep it short because you don't want to hear all and plus I'm listening to a Jackson Five album"...
 

DJ Sage (CFRO-Vancouver, BC): "We got into a much anticipated Double Shot this week, featuring Nas & Damian Marley - "Distinct Relatives". The album has the unfortunate task of living up to the high hopes of fans around the world and delivers as best as possible. It might take a few spins to fully appreciate it, but Nas and Jr. Gong have released an album that will breathe fresh air into mainstream Hip-Hop.
It's a good time to be a Hip-Hop fan in Vancouver as there are a GAMUT of acts playing shows in the city as we move closer and closer to the Summer. Don't miss out on the Straight Skills DJ Competition, Sweatshop Union, Public Enemy, Snak The Ripper, The Scale Breakers, EPMD, Just Blaze, Reflection Eternal and Warren G, among others, all in and around Vancouver. Listen to the podcast for exact dates, or get those digits working and search online.

2Face Al was also challenged by Needle Knieval to bust an impromptu conscious freestyle about immigration, oil spills and managed to diss on many different individuals. Hopefully they hear it and try to do something about it.

Jeep Ward aka DJ Halo (WPKN-CT): "YOOOOOO!!! What's good with ya??? Enjoying this unseasonably cold spring yet??? I know I AM...Climate Change HOOOOOOO!!! Aaaaand let's F*ck up the gulf coast and east coast just for good measure...NIIICE!!! I like the way you think...Sorry about the uncalled for rant there"...

Stuart DeLa Rosa (KSMT-CO): "What's the dealio with all my promo peeps out in radio land USA? The music that you are all providing is absolutely incredible and overwhelming at the same time. It's so good to see so many artist on their grind, I love it when MC's stay hungry and are never satisfied  even with the best of their tracks. Everything is going great out here in the big CO with some changes in the pipeline. Just a little update on the Lounge for your files, My show is consider too raw and uncut for the current time slot I am in (8-10 Sunday nights) and was informed that the show is pushing a lot of boundaries concerning the FCC. So with that being said I just got a free pass to bang out even more nasty and raw tracks but now at a time when the kids have gone off  to bed. The new time slot is 10-midnight on Sunday nights now. It's only a two hour change but this should open my show up even more now that I am on the radio later. At first I was really upset
that they wanted to change it but with further thoughts I figured it was the best way to keep me on air and still bang out all the hot joints that all of you have graciously provide me. So keep the tracks coming and I will be sure to abuse and beat up KSMT 102.1 & 102.7 FM airwaves up every sunday night 10 to midnight.......Word"...
 

Kazzeo (KHDC-CA): "I know I'm crazy late on this but, thanks to HBO On Demand, I took this past weekend to watch season 1 & 2 of True Blood. Damn that show is dope! I admit it. I slept on this big time but I'm officially hooked on that shit now. And it's really ironic to me that the main characters name, Sookie, rhymes with Nookie. I'm just sayin. LOL.

I had the "luck" to spend three hours at the DMV on Monday. In doing this, I finally found a less desirable place to be than stuck on a cross country flight with sick, screaming babies. And how is it that no one waiting there can read? I mean there are signs up EVERYWHERE in there that say NO CELL PHONE USE IN BUILDING. Yet at least 20 people in there were screaming into their cell phones. And don't even get me started on the lack of deodorant up in there. Ahhhhhhh!

Smallville's season finale this past Friday was pretty awesome. I hope they get it together though and understand that, now that it's season 10, it's time for Clark Kent to fly.

Happy 7th birthday to Niko Madoyan.
