What's Upper? 

The Los Angeles Lakers have won their 16th NBA championship, dramatically rallying from a fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Boston Celtics 83-79 Thursday night in Game 7 of the NBA finals. The Los Angeles Lakers, playing from behind for most of Game 7, surged in the final minutes to defeat the Boston Celtics
and capture the N.B.A. title for the second consecutive season and the 16th time in their history.

In a game marked by its physical play, the Lakers and Kobe Bryant (see photo above), who struggled from the field, rallied late in the fourth quarter and then held on to win. The Celtics dominated through three and a half quarters but watched the championship slip away in the final minutes...

MTV IS LOOKING FOR TWITTER JOCKEYS: Social networking sites have been artists’ connection to their fans with up to date info, beef, thank you’s, and concert info.

Whats good? It's your boy Garbs Infinite! I wanted to make sure that you all had a copy of my newest single "Shareware". I also wanted to let you know that I will be dropping a series of freestyles on the web over the next month & a half. I will be releasing at least 2 to 3 each week until my album "Eclectic Taste" is released. The beats are being provided by a variety of producers with a variety of production styles from all across the world. So in a sense they are mini original songs. If you know any producers who may be interested, let me know or forward my information to them. Below are the download links & youtube video links for the first 2. Let me know what you think! More to come, stay tuned!

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

Chill Will (WCBN-MI): "What's up Fam? Had another great week, with a lot of new albums dropping. Can't wait to see how the quality of the albums compare to the sales. Cause numbers don't always mean better and we've seen that a lot lately. A few of my favorite shows are starting this month, True Blood, Hung and Leverage. Can't wait!!!! Well shout out to everyone I kicked it with at the two new spots in town, Savoy and Smarty Cat's. Dope venue's and great staffs so you can't beat it. For more information about me DJ Chill Will go to www.myspace.com/djchillwill734  or www.twitter.com/chillwill734...

Jason-D (RadioBoise.org): "Extra large birthday shout outs to Jessica (Co-Sign) and Papa D (Old Mafugga Promo). I hope you both had an excellent born day and that Papa D didn't break a hip. My favorite "underground shit right that you might not have heard of" is Kool Sphere's new cd called "Integritty". Sphere is part of the group Verbal Threat that had the DJ Premier produced "Reality Check" last year. He's also a pretty well known NY graff writer. The whole cd is on that East Coast boom bap vibe. A couple good features including an energized sounding AZ. Peep it on itunes to sample some of the songs. We featured a few tracks from the album during the past two weeks"...

DJ Sage (CFRO-Vancouver, BC): "We got right into the tunes tonight by featuring what is perhaps the most anticipated Canadian Hip-Hop album of all time, Drake’s “Thank Me Later”. Say what you will about Drake, but he has been doing it extra big with the likes of Saukrates, Jay-Z, Lil' Wayne, Young Jeezy, and plenty more. It's good to see a Canadian artists getting worldwide attention like he is. It also wouldn't hurt to support the album legally so Canadian music can get that shine in the US!

We also pulled off a 1st for us here at the Urban Renewal Project by doing an interview with 2 artists, one in-studio and one over the phone! We had Vancouver's Fallan Soldier in the spot while we linked up with Teekay (of Dragon Fli Empire) on the line from Calgary. Teekay & Fallan Soldier are embarking on the Move The Mountains tour that seeks to bridge the gap between artists in Western Canada. The tour is making stops in Nanaimo (Spice Lounge), Victoria (Lucky Bar) and
Vancouver (The Cobalt - which, by the way, is no longer a metal bar) on the 17t, 18th and 19th, respectively.

You can check out Fallan Soldier online at www.Facebook.com/FallanSoldier , www.MySpace.com/FallanSoldier  and www.Twitter.com/@FallanSoldier . Teekay and the Dragon Fli Empire can be reached online at www.Facebook.com/DragonFliEmpire  and www.Twitter.com/@TeekayDFE . Don't sleep on this top-notch Western Canadian talent!

We got into a gamut of music, including tracks from 8thW1, Dragon Fli Empire, Fallan Soldier, Nas & Damian Marley, Canibus, Nikki Lynette, Drake, and plenty more... make sure you check out the podcast shortly, which will be available on www.URPRadio.Podomatic.com...

Shareef Abdulluh (WRFL-KY): "Last weekend on the show we had the ultra-talented producer Tzarizm of the Florida duo The Heart & Brain. This brother show & proves that he is a true student of the art of boom bap on the duo's new album, "Mbodiment." Definitely one of the best projects to come out this year! In the mix this week we add the new single by Pigeon Hole, two members from Canada's formidable Sweatshop Union. Their new joint "Light Show" is blessed by fellow Canadian D-Sisive, who adds another layer of dopeness to the butta track! Also, we added the new single by Everliven Sound, who is joined by Brick City's El Da Sensei on the lively "Elements," the mysterious Dark Monk and Mobonix spit lyrical warfare over a Jake One banger on "Real Terror," and lastly we have an outstanding remix of "Tightrope" by the eccentric Janelle Monae which features ridiculous verses from B.o.B and Lupe Fiasco...this kills the original hands down! I'm out until next time...as-salaam alakium!!"...

Kazzeo (KHDC-CA): "I was gonna do a detailed report about the VH1 Hip Honors but there's no point. That show jumped the shark. Period. The A-Team movie was pretty good. I give it a thumbs up or, in the reference to the classic movie "Hollywood Shuffle", I give it a "high five". True Blood started last weekend and it looks like another great season. I'm diggin' the Werewolve's angle"...
 

DJ Luicidal (KSJS-CA): "Some of you have not heard from me in a while. Here is why. For the past couple weeks I had my laptop hard drive completely crash on me. I was without a laptop for two weeks and almost lost 500 gigs of music, fortunately I was able to save it. Now my laptop is rebuilt and better than ever. Couple days after that I lost my iPhone at a club event. In hopes of finding it, I stayed without a phone for several weeks as well. It never surfaced. Now I am the proud owner of a Nokia 2220 lol, I'm rockin' that until the iPhone 4 drops on the 24th. I almost ended up on the XXL's milk carton, but now I am back and continuing to report. In Hip Hop news, this past Friday I had Richmond, CA emcee Locksmith on my radio show Illphonics. This guy is one of the illest emcees out of the Bay Area. He joined us for Freestyle Fridays and dropped some crazy bars along with Megabusive, Sway-D, and Frank Nitti. I will have the audio up on my blog soon. You can also check for him on the new Wake Up Show Anthem 2010. Plenty of shows this week in San Jose! San Francisco rappers Andre Nickatina and San Quinn will be performing in downtown San Jose on Wednesday night. Thursday, I will be rockin the decks at a show in Santa Clara featuring The Grouch of Living Legends, Opio of Hieroglyphics, Z-Man of One Block Radius, and Equipto of Bored Stiff. Lastly, Saturday I will be hosting Grind Time's Golden State Bullies 2 event in San Jose. Plenty of battle emcees will go head to head and we will also have performances from Joe Cutter, Ex-I, Ghambit, Madness, and Pariah. Google footage from the first Golden State Bullies event and get a taste of how it goes down"...

Jeffrey Oakes (WMHB-ME): "What's up?  Good news! I will be maintaining the charts for WMHB for the rest of the summer as Malcolm will be doing a lot of traveling and will not always be in contact. But please work on building a relationship with him as the summer goes on, he will have full access to the Hip-Hop email account for WMHB"...
 

Kevin Sakoda (KSPC-CA): "If you're not in the LA-area, you can catch the show live (via iTunes) every Saturday, 5-7PM (west-coast time): http://www.kspc.org/popup.html   You can also find archived playlists and download links 24/7: http://blogs.myspace.com/kevsakoda   Enjoy!"...

D-Tragic (805HipHop.com): "Oh and just started the new show on air 91.9FM – KCSB Santa Barbara “WORD ON THE STREETS RADIO” Thursdays 4-6 Also First Friday of Month 8-10PM “WORD ON THE STREETS RADIO” www.KCSB.org  "...

Matt Chan (CJSF-Canada): "Hi all. As my you may or may not know I have relocated to Toronto. I will still be doing my radio show however it will now be pre-taped and I will still be doing my chart. Please send your emails/mp3's/promos/priorities to my new email address: matthew.chanbros@gmail.com  My contact number is (604) 306-6086 however I might be changing it to get a Toronto area code"
