What's Upper? 

RAP ATTACK wants to congratulate Mazzi & S.O.U.L. Purpose as their video to "Love Is Love" debuted nationwide on MTV Jamz last week! Thank you RAP ATTACK DJ's for breakin' this joint first!...

Rodney-O & Joe Cooley have reunited & are back! These West Coast pioneers dating back to the 80's with "Everlasting Bass," "Cooley High" & "Get Ready To Roll" will hit the stage in Los Angeles on September 18 at The Nokia's "FRESH FEST" opening up for Ice Cube! Rap Attack will have the exclusive to their new single "Eat Em Up" dropping late August!...

The place to be to peep out the ALL NEW Numark V7 turntable was at Rehab's Scratch Academy. 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" (see photo above)...

Props to our latest RAP ATTACK DJ CONFERENCE CALL guests: Spoken word artist Josephus III & Sleepwalkas...

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 Chill Will (WCBN-MI): "What's up? It's been crazy around here so I'm gonna keep it short. And let you in on a conversation I was having with some friends about music, and how things have changed. First 50 opened up the summer concert series here at Chene Park. Not that big a spot and great for the old school shows. Then Justin Bieber sells out The Palace (were the Pistons play) were 50 and all the major acts use to be. Damn how things have changed. For more information about me DJ Chill Will go to www.myspace.com/djchillwill734 or www.twitter.com/chillwill734 "...
 

Shareef Abdullah (WRFL-KY): "Peace folks...dope new records added this week by Statik Selektah & Termanology are 1982's "Goin Back" (Dope street record with some nice verses from Cassidy & Xzibit), J. Nic$ "The Illustration" (some smooth dope street ish), John Legend & The Roots "Wake Up Everybody" (dope remake, why no Black Thought verse?), The Sleepwalkas "Rhymeflow" (Sadat X to the rescue, an all around feel good record), Remynd "Saviour" (Anything with Kool G. Rap on it gets automatic love) and Malachi Maxxe'l (nice return for this cat). See ya next week...guidance and protection"...

DJ Sage (CFRO-Vancouver, BC): We featured Wale's new mixtape, "More About Nothing" as our Double Shot this week. The follow-up to his acclaimed 2008 Seinfeld-themed "Mixtape About Nothing" definitely lives up to its predecessor and showcases what Wale is all about. Even if you weren't feeling his debut LP, you'll enjoy this mixtape. Here's hoping this style of record continues onto his sophmore LP. Download the mixtape, we got it a few posts down.

No interviews this week, which means tons of tunes in rotation tonight. Everything from Jay-Z to The Sleepwalkas to The Clipse to Choclair, we got you covered! We also ran down a ton of August show dates in the Vancouver area from local favourite Snak The Ripper. He's on tour with none other than R.A. The Rugged Man and will be tearing it down once again, this time with some all-ages shows! Hit the podcast to get the dates and check out his FACEBOOK PAGE to keep up with Snak!
Check out the podcast RIGHT HERE and at www.URPRadio.Podomatic.com shortly!"...
