THE 411 UP NORTH
COURTESY OF DIALOG
What’s
up world!
First
off, I’d just like to take some time out to thank
Nasty Nes &
RapAttacklives.com for their patience and support
as I go through some rough times, but as
always…The show must go on! In the last few
week’s I’ve gotten a lot of new music to pass
along to you and I’m glad to see the Canadian
hiphop industry
starting off so strong this year! Let’s get down
to business..
My long
time homie Ness
aka Satchel Paige has
finally released his first solo album entitled
“Guy, I’m from here” on Your Brothers Records out
of Winnipeg Manitoba. Satchel Paige can be heard
on many Your Brother In
My Backpack joints from previous year’s as well as
on “The Hiphop Bistro”
Saturdays’s on CJUM
101.5 FM in Winnipeg. I used to get
Mr.Ness
mixtapes from Toronto
and since then Ive
known he’s been putting in work since day one.
This album features production by Frozen Broccoli
Records/Hiphop 101’s
own Kinetik and Your
Brothers Records Gumshoe Strut.
Definitely look out
for “Joe Carter”, “Enida
Watts” & Lincoln Alexander” which are some of my
favorites. Producer/Emcee Gumshoe Strut leaked me
a copy of the new Death in the eyes
e.p. and I
gotta put it down that
every release of his keeps getting stronger and
stronger. Look out for the official double
e.p. in July 2003.
Please reach out to both of these cats at
hiphopbistro@hotmail.com and
strutshoe@hotmail.com .
Guru
has hooked up with Montreal’s own Bless to release
a new 12” on Virgin Music Canada.
“Talkin’
to me” feat. Guru b/w
Get it now” are both guaranteed to rock any
college radio show or hiphop
club. If you feel any of the Baldheaded Slick
records you will need this record in the
collection so make sure to reach out to my man Ice
at
kevin.white@virginmusic.ca and request doubles
today!!
