What's Upper? 

Al Goodman of the legendary R&B group Ray, Goodman and Brown has passed away at 63. (R.I.P.)... Jack Tatum, an All-Pro safety for the Oakland Raiders in the 1970s and one of the most feared hitters in NFL history, died last Tuesday. He was 61. (R.I.P.)...

The place to be to peep out the ALL NEW Numark V7 turntable was at Rehab's Scratch Academy last Saturday afternoon. I have been down with the SL-1200's TT's for over 30 years & I'm that impressed & about to make that SWITCH to the V7! In the house it was like a mini who's who reunion: Mr Choc, Kelly Woo, Sir Charles, DJ Jam, Hapa, DJ XTC, Bobby G, DJ Muggs (Cypress Hill), Def Jef, Joanne Ticsay, Arman Haile, DJ Wayne-ski, DJ Dazzler, DJ 4Tify & Numarks' very own Autumn Pittman! Stay tuned for more info on the ALL NEW "Numark V7 Turntable"...

Welcome to RAP ATTACK our new Mixtape Reporter, Michael "DJ Emmo" Ogunmoyin a man of many trades and knows exactly what it means to be a jack of all trades and a master of none. He tells people he's a "professional scatter-brain" from doing so many things at one time and how hard it is to focus on just one.

 Emmo's mother is from Dominica (Virgin Islands/Carribean) & his father is from Nigeria (West Africa) so they settled in Brooklyn raising 6 kids all born and raised in Kings County's Flatbush section.

 DJ Emmo is the founder and creative force behind brands such as CajoCommunications.com, ThundaGround and most recently ALLisONE, a gift & convenience shop in Passaic, NJ (20 mins. from Time Square/42nd St), serving as a new home to independent entrepreneurs with a site launching on Sept. 11th, 2010. Emmo is a firm believer of action speaking louder than words and he showcases his actions on a monthly basis delivering conceptual street mixtapes on and offline. He has released & executive produced some talented underground Hip-Hop albums/artists, most recently the digital full-length album by Spier1200 & Oktober called "Pirate Radio" (visit the cajo website for catalog 2002-present). DJ Emmo is also known for showcasing legendary events and conducting interviews for TGTV (ThundaGroundTV) featuring some of the icons of music culture including The GodFathers of HipHop Music & Culture, DJ Kool Herc, DJ Afrika Bambaataa, KRS One and many more. Emmo feels if he delivers quality over quantity things will remain positive, which is balance, especially with so many negative forces around us. Be on the lookout for new releases, gifted artists, special events & projects coming soon. DJ Emmo's mission is to help others (especially the kids) by spreading knowledge, peace and love through positive creative energy & expression.

A MESSAGE FROM DJ AARON WADE (djaaronwade@yahoo.com):
"Been a while since you've heard from me (for a lot of you). Since I retired my FM radio show in Milwaukee, I've been career and family focused.

BUT... i just can't stay away! I've been given this cool opportunity, and I jumped on it. I'm now the Program Director for "Underground Hip Hop" on www.slacker.com.
Hopefully you all know what slacker is... if you don't, in short, it's internet radio (like pandora or aol) and it has a sweet mobile app available for all smartphones. I recently linked up w/ the head folks in San Diego, explained my ideas on the station, and BAM! I'm programming this stellar station!

Please go to www.slacker.com and look under "hip hop" to find the station. It just went live tonight. PLEASE PLEASE send me all your new singles for consideration, as I can add songs and change the rotation on the station at ANY TIME on my own time and 100% at my own discretion.

YOU KNOW HOW I DO - nothing but HEAT! I built the station on the foundation of that classic boom-bap rap sound... that's what it's all about.

So please make sure you send me the hot mp3's. This is worldwide, and I spent hours and hours and hours preparing it for the debut. The station is comprised of the best 450 songs (not mainstream) that i could come up with... 80's, 90's, 99-09, and current.

Thank you in advance for working with me and checking out this dope ass new station!"...

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

DJ LUICIDAL (KSJS-CA): "Been a busy week here in San Jose. Last week I rocked the stage with Tha Dogg Pound at Voodoo Lounge in downtown San Jose along with DLabrie and Rey Resurreccion. Dogg Pound performed all the classics as well as some new joints from their forthcoming album "100 Ways." Yesterday, Scarub and Very of Afro Classics and Living Legends performed at our open mic even The Cypher. Tonight we bring the Dubstep trio Truth out to San Jose all the way from New Zeland to rock some grimey Dubstep at South Bay Dub Massive. Tomorrow we have a San Jose local scene event called Nostalgia featuring all the best DJ's from San Jose. Saturday E-40 brings his Bay Area slaps to downtown San Jose. Next week, I will be sharing the stage with Lucky Lucianni and Z-Man on Thursday night, and DJing with the one and only G-Funk Era king Warren G on Friday. We stay grinding out here. If you need to get a hold of me, please feel free to send me a text. I will get back to you faster than a phone call since I am usually in meetings or gigs"...
 

DJ SAGE (CFRO-Vancouver, BC): "We kicked it off once again by featuring what is reportedly Slum Village's final studio album. The group has had its fair share of hardship over the years, losing the legendary producer J. Dilla in February of 2006, and Baatin in July of 2009. Nonetheless, they have written the group's final chapter with Villa Manifesto. Both Baatin and Dilla make posthumous appearances on this very good album that deserves to be supported. Make sure you check this disc out or you will be stuck regretting not knowing what's what!
DJ Quickie Mart was first up to bat tonight, chatting with us live from New Orleans. The producer/DJ has been making big moves bouncing back and forth from NO to LA, working with Freddie Gibbs, Gotham Green and many more but took the time out of his schedule to chop it up with us! We discussed the struggles facing New Orleans in the light of the BP oil spill, old school samples, the Haze series and more! Check out The Haze Diaries Vol. 3 with Gotham Green and keep up with Quickie Mart at www.MySpace.com/QuickieMart and www.DJQuickieMart.com.
We were then joined by Lee, one half of the Vancouver duo, Pigeon Hole. They have just recently released Age Like Astronauts, which is a great album that should not be slept on. If you are a fan of the Sweatshop Union (which Pigeon Hole are a part of), you will love this LP. We discussed the group's production process, touring and more! Make sure you check out the album ASAP and stay on top of things by visiting www.MySpace.com/PigeonHoleMusic or their URBnet page!

We also got into a ton of tunes tonight, including material from Kooley High, Blaq Poet, LL Cool J, The Kid Daytona, Slum Village, Gotham Green & Quickie Mart, Pigeon Hole and tons more. Don't miss this one! Look out for the podcast very shortly, we will have the podcast available VERY shortly on www.URPRadio.Blogspot.com and www.URPRadio.Podomatic.com...
 

Stuart de la Rosa (KSMT-CO): "I love and respect all of you so much I attached a links to this email that are very educational and really on point.

Please take time to review "The Obama Deception" and pass on the word about the new world order and their plans to make our society a bunch of robots. Respect: www.infowars.com & www.prisonplanet.com "...
 

Nate Abney (WKDU-PA): "Well a getaway that much needed in Atl was taken last week. I got up with some family members new and old and learned some real history regarding my fam in Madison, Georgia. It was a real good experience, hot as ever but where has it not been this summer. Loving the Roots and Big Boi albums. Loving the summer lineup of shows coming to Philly at the Dell East too. Lady T and Keith Sweat ( do I want to be 10 again or what), The O'Jays( Sound of Philly legends). Brian Mcknight and Kindred ( more water and t-shirt selling in North Philly for sure). The Phils on the comeback and that's all this week folks"...
