What's Upper? 

Congrats to RAP ATTACK's very own, DJ Nesto outta VA on the birth of his daughter Maliyah Brooklyn Acosta born on Aug. 2, 2010. This is Nesto's 3rd child...

Christopher Laroche known by his stage name “Freedom” was born in Haiti with a new single out "Move On" (Freedom Recordz/Xyion/Bungalo/UMGD). Already getting out the box support here's what DJ's are saying about "Move On":

DJ ICY ICE (World Famous Beat Junkies/Power 106 L.A.): "Freedom is a talented MC with a mission to help his home country of Haiti. He's going to make noise in 2010."

 SWAY (MTV/Wake Up Show): "Move On is a blatant reminder of how much work is still needed in Haiti. It is a powerful musical tribute that is more than just another song. Freedom is another worker that captures the spirit of the resilience of the Haitian people."

 DJ Tony Touch "Great song. Very inspiring & well needed during these times."

DJ Muggs (Soul Assassins): "Move On is very uplifting & inspirational."

"C Of Tranquility," Canibus' tenth studio album, features production credits from DJ Premier, Jake One, Scram Jones, The Bizness, J-Zone and Slopfunkdust and proves that he is just as on point now as when he was first hand-picked by Wyclef Jean for the sensational debut LP Can-I-Bus. in 1998. His widely-known lyrical prowess, along with a knack for creating songs that double as personal statements, is even represented in some of the track titles on the release. "Merchant of Metaphors," "Free Words," and "The Messenger's Message" all deliver on their promise of insightful and dexterous wordplay. Having been deemed by several rap magazines as being one of the best lyrical freestyle rappers, Canibus recognizes this record as his opportunity to showcase his skills once again, implying that C Of Tranquility is the culmination of years of practice and progress. "Sometimes life will beat you down just to remind you that you're alive," Canibus said during a 2009 interview with Conspiracy Worldwide Hip-Hop Radio. "There's no better time than the present to try and actualize your dreams"...
