Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome your next governor of California, DJ Kazzeo!!! Yeah that’s right, I am now running for office. Hey why not? Unlike Arnold, I have never made a wack movie about an undercover cop in a kindergarten class. Unlike Gary Coleman, I have never assaulted a female autograph seeker while I was working as a security guard. Unlike Larry Flynt, I have never published any pornographic magazine. I have looked at many though but that doesn’t count right? I feel my only serious competition will be that of Father Guido Sarducci. One issue that I will look in to extensively will be that of medical marijuana. Even though California has passed  a state law allowing it, many communities in the state still uphold the federal law prohibiting it. Because of this confusion, I have handpicked a 5 person task force consisting of experts in the field. Those individuals are Woody Harrelson, Nick Nolte, Robert Downey JR., Whitney Houston, and Bam Morris... Shut’em down shut’em down!!! Man what the hell was that blackout all about on the East Coast? In a perfect world it would be due to 1,000,000 dj’s all firing up their turntables all at the same time. Unfortunately that wasn’t the case. Most likely something just cracked… Let me get it out of the way and admit defeat. Yes the 49’ers beat the Raiders. Okay you happy now. Let’s move on… Our homie Dan Shores at WHRW in Binghamton, NY is looking for your assistance. If you can lace him with the Da Ranjahz feat.

Also, he will be hitting the West Coast for a promo tour in September so stay tuned… You know the other day I was thinking to myself “whatever happened to Bronx mc Nine”? This guy cam out blazing and then just disappeared. And then at the same time I wondered, “whatever happened to that cat D-roy who worked at Select Records a couple years back”… If you’re into the whole progressive West Coast underground style of Hip Hop, you need to peep out the latest release from Rob Rush and Cumulus called “Please Go back - Operation Free Flow” on Rec League Records. Hit up mooniescrew@mooniesmusic.com for more info… Wanted & Respected a.k.a. W.A.R. is back with the single “A Good Look” on Trife Life Records. Strong effort from the crew. 718.398.1862 is the number to call for service… Before his legal troubles, Ras Kass had time to record the banger “6 Figures” with Skillz. It’s hitting radio now via MaddGame Records. If you need it, dial 804.763.1191… Last week I told you that October 7 is the day that Black Moon drops it’s new album “Total Eclipse” on Duckdown records. In additon to that, they have also put together a behind the scenes dvd which is available at www.duckdown.com . In further October 7 news, Death Row will be releasing a new album called “Death Row Presents 2Pac - Nu Mixx Klazzics”. In essence it will be a remix album of some of his greatest hits. This is a must have for any true 2Pac fan… Open Bar Entertainment, headed by Xzibit, will be distributed by Interscope / Shady Records… Am I the only one who is moved to vomit whenever I hear that Lumidee “Uh Oh” song? Geeeez. Can someone say off key?… Well the clash of the titans is upon us. No not that cheesy Greek Mythology movie from the 80’s. I mean Freddy vs. Jason.  Myself, I am pulling for Jason. I mean homie went to space and he took Manhattan. Where had Freddy gone? Nowhere. Plus I have always had a fascination with machete’s and hockey masks’ so go figure… By now many of you know about www.friendster.com which is a site where you can network with friends and their friends. How many friends has our own Nasty-Nes have now on Friendster? This site can be addicting but lots of fun & you'll recognize a lot of your fellow dj's on it too! Well, there is now something equally as helpful and that is www.ringo.com . It is the same premise but, in my opinion, is more of a solid site.

Visit her online at her website at www.odeliza.com and you’ll see what I mean. Straight heat!… Why is it that smart people are so hard to find? Case in point. The local commercial station out my way is having a big concert next month and tickets went on sale today. They announced where to buy them so I went to the place. The guy at the counter had no clue what I was talking about even though the location had bought sponsorship to the event. Needless to say, had I not taken my daily dose of Ridilin, I would have went on a rampage... If you're into the r&b meets hip-hop tip (i.e. LL meets R Kelly vibe), then look out for the debut indy joint from Stress & Magyver "Your Body's Like" (Crimson INK). This cut has a nice catchy hook & flow to it that I'm feeling. For more info on getting laced contact Jo Jo over at Bryan Farrish Promotions online at: JOJO@RADIO-MEDIA.COM or at 818. 905.8038...
