John Wooden, a staid Midwesterner who migrated to U.C.L.A. and became college basketball's most successful coach, earning the nickname the Wizard of Westwood and an enduring place in sports history, died Friday. He was 99. Wooden created a sports dynasty against which all others are compared, and usually pale. His teams at U.C.L.A. won 10 national championships in a 12-season stretch from 1964 to 1975. From 1971 to 1974, U.C.L.A. won 88 consecutive games, still the N.C.A.A. record (R.I.P.)...

My name is Philip Rei (WHUS-CT) and I'm representing Fly Guyz Entertainment based out of the University of Connecticut. There's a new artist who has been making quite a name for himself around the UConn area and has started to reach beyond. His name is Fimz and not only is he a skilled lyrical threat but a proven producer, producing many of his own beats as well as distributing them to emcees worldwide. Attached is his debut mixtape "Only One Man" which put him on the map around CT. He is currently working on his sophomore release entitled "The Lyrical Quarterback". Please hit me with any feedback you got for this tape and if you are spinning it. Recommended tracks are: 9,12,13,15,17,20. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.

After several years of being stuck in neutral, Michael Jackson’s hometown of Gary, Indiana is finally moving forward with plans to build a $300 million museum and arts center dedicated to the King of Pop...
 

40-year-old Mariners’ slugger Ken Griffey, Jr. turned in his jersey last Wednesday night after calling up team president telling him his career was done, just like that. Unfortunately, there will be no farewell tour, but he is one of the best players of all time and his legacy will stand forever in the history of the MLB...

WHAT'S UPPER WITH DJ ROB SWIFT???

 Let's see, we're about 30 days away from the half way point of the year and already I've:

- launched my own Internet radio show.

- dropped a full length album.

- toured Europe, Australia and North America

Goes to show what a little bit of hard work can accomplish. But you know what? That's all in the past and as Bruce Lee says "flowing water never grows stale". Thus, I'd like to share with you all what I have in the works for the rest of the year.

Let's start with what I got going on this month. First off, I'm happy to disclose I've been chosen by DJ TIMES as one of America's top 100 DJs (http://www.americasbestdj.net/bestdj/top100.htm#profile_19). Accordingly, I've been entered into America's Best DJ, an online vote conducted by DJ Times. If you guys feel like having a little fun with this, please take a couple of minutes out of your day and vote for me, I'd appreciate the support. Overall, whether I win or not, it's an honor to be mentioned in such a prestigious category. When I decided as a young kid to enter my first DJ competition, my goal was simply to make an impression on fans of the art. Judging by the acknowledgment given to me by DJ Times, it seems I've accomplished my goal and for that I am very thankful!     Check for the debut of the June episode of my internet radio show Dope On Plastic on Scion Radio 17. June features yours truly on the turntables for the entire 3 hours. Considering I was going at it alone when composing this month's show, I really dug deep in the record crates. Thus, I think you'll enjoy the selection of music I played this month. For those iTunes junkies out there, you can download my show on to your phone if you have the app for it. Just click on the Hip Hop/Rap Radio and click on DOPE ON PLASTIC. If you're interested in listening on the Internet, just log on to www.scionav.com/radio/channel14 at around 9pm eastern...

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

DJ Babe (Mixtapes-Detroit): "So put your hands in the air.. and keep them there.. still keep them there.. Now run ya pockets punk!!! Win, win, win!!!

Hell I need to rob a few folks these days, all of those Obama stimulus packages just didn't seem to work. It's way too many broke people around me, I need to ship them off to an island.

Well, in this newsletter.. It's just about talking a ton of trash, mentioning things that are useless or stupid, and occasional talking shop with you all. A few weeks back I attended The Core DJ Retreat in Orlando. 1st let me give a huge Fuck You to the doorman who told me that the 7-11 was "just down the street".

Well after I walked for 2 miles down an Orlando highway in 90 degree weather with some tight ass shoes on, I found the 7-11. Also let me state that the hotel was off the chain, there were so many drunk MILFs walking around that hotel past 11pm.. it was Cougar City.

I got to catch up with a few of my good DJ friends, there are way too many to name. If I gave you the infamous head nod, then I'm talking about you. The BET Awards are this month in LA, I'm looking to be there.. waiting on someonnnnnnnne... I hope a bunch of ya'll don't venture into The Jungle or east LA on some I'm curious stuff, those LA dudes love to make the news.

Next time I'm in LA I wanna go back to that spot where everything you order automatically comes with chili, stop by Ameba Records & visit Byze One's gang infested neighborhood where he neglected to tell me the common enemy is black people.. Yea, thanks Byze... Oh yea, Latin Prince has to buy me a drink too.. I only drink the good stuff Papa.. Old Englsih 800: VSOP"...
 

Chill Will (WCBN-MI): "Big up to everyone who was in town for the Detroit Electronic Music Festival. With hundreds of thousands of people in town rocking to some of the founders and best in Electronic Music. It's funny that most don't realize that early Hip Hop DJ's learned to rock the turntables to these early songs that set the stage for this music. Like Cosmic Car, Clear and Al-Naafiysh or as we called it "It's Time". Which was part of the foundation for battling and cutting. Memories but I could go on forever. Big shout to everyone who check me out this past weekend in the mix at the various stations thanks for the love. And I'll see everyone Thursday at Babs Underground Lounge for the Ro-Spit listening party. For more information about me DJ Chill Will go to www.myspace.com/djchillwill734 or www.twitter.com/chillwill734 "...

DJ Sage (CFRO-Vancouver, BC): "We got into a dope Double Shot from a good friend of the show, Homeboy Sandman. His new album "The Good Sun". You may know him from sick tracks such "Gun Control" and one of our Urban Renewal Project intro tracks. The album is sick, and this young gun has a bright future
thanks to his unique flow and content. Check him, and the album out at: www.HomeboySandman.com

We also have been reminiscing over the legendary Hip-Hop publication, The Source. We weighed in on whether or not the albums that earned the 5 mic rating really deserved it. Next week, we'll check out the albums that were retroactively given the top rating. Expect a post on the URP blog

 ( www.UrbanRenewalProject.net ) further investigating this topic! Feel free to leave your 2 cents in the comments section!

We also got into a cypher which included the resident, 2Face Al, Divid'ID and Big Moss...the boys tore it to shreds so make sure you keep it locked for that! Podcast coming any minute to www.UrbanRenewalProject.net! Tons of tracks, from Nas to Ayinde, The Game to Talib Kweli, and everything in between! Do NOT sleep!"...

Stuart DeLa Rosa (KSMT-CO): "Hope all is love with you and your family! Everything is wonderful out here in the Square State not to mention that

summer is almost here for us up here in the mountains. Summer only last 3 months up here at 9,000 feet of elevation so I am defiantly going to have a happy june, July and August, with not much snow! Keep pushing out all that good music cause I know my listener appreciate all the fresh new stuff that I bring to KSMT 102.7 & 102.1 airwaves"...
 

Shareef Abdullah (WRFL-KY): "Peace DJ fam....first and foremost I wanted to say congrads to my station WRFL, for finally completing the upgrade to our station antenna. This week we went from a meager 250 watts to 7900 watts. This has been a project 10 years in the making and I'm glad I'm still here to witness this mighty accomplishment! Also, special shout out to Ayinde for being on the show last weekend. For a young dude he is definitely one of the exceptions to what we see on a regular. His new single, "Do It" is pure butta!

 This week we add into rotation a dope single by Vinnie Paz, head honcho of the JMT/AOTP crew. Vinnie drops one of his most introspective joints to date addressing relevant topics that shine through on his new single, "Keep Movin." Can't wait to check out his new solo jawn, "Season of The Assassin!" Also, in the mix is the soulful gem by Arash. His new effort, "What's Going On??" is a nice change of pace from the norm and last but not least is the return of one of my favorite Philly emcees, Hezekiah. His new futuristic banger, "Fired Up!" is tailored made for maximum head nodding and features dope cameos from Kweli & Bahamadia, hot ish, no doubt! Until next week, be safe and support good hip hop...as-salaam alakium!"...

Savvy (KSJS-KDON- CA): Hay hay hay hay errbody hope all is well. lot's of shows this week to hit the Bay Area and also the Central Coast. Just yesterday, Talib Kweli and Hi Tek were performing at The Fillmore in SF while on tour for the new album, Revolutions Per Minute. Black Smith label mates, Strong Arm Steady also came out to peform with the fellas known as Reflection Eternal and the crowd was thick (show was almost sold out). The crowd really went bannanas when surprise guest Jacka came out to show some love to the SAS family. Peeps were in for a big treat though, because it did not stop there. When it came time for Reflection Eternal's encore, fans were hit with another surpise performance of "93 till Infinity" by none other then Bay Area veterans, Souls Of Mischief. Very dope to see the love between all these talented stars shared on one stage. That is what hip hop is about. Tommorow I am heading out to the Catalyst in Santa Cruz to check out Nneka perform with Nas and Damian Marley. Friday I head out once again to check Zion I perform with Erk The Jerk, and then after party at the Red Room in Santa Cruz with DJ Shea and DJ R-Cade for some funk, hip hop and reggae. Stop by our page and peep all the new music videos I have posted up from Statik Selektah & Consequence, Fashawn & Blu, and the Chosen Few. Have a blessed day everyone!"...
