news 1099460299 - December 31, 1969 By : Xzibit is set to release "Weapons of Mass Destruction" on December 7th, it will be released on Sony Music.
The album features production from Timbaland, Hi-Tek, Rick Rock, Battlecat, Denaun Porter, Jellyroll, Sir Jinx and more.
(No word on if the Dr.Dre produced "Grown man business" makes the album, or if it's retitled)


Those who have heard the Timbaland produced first single "Hey Now" will be pleased to know that the album will have more serious subject matters.
Xzibit told MTV:
"I have always been aware of my surroundings. So not putting that in the forefront of my creativity would be a travesty. I had to put it out there."
The first track on the album takes aim at George W. Bush, twisting his own words against him, comparing Bush to his enemies.
The Jellyroll produced "Cold World" also have a political message.

About working with Timbaland:
"Timbaland was crazy to work with. When he stepped in the studio, it was like working with Morpheus from 'The Matrix' — he stepped in with three beats and said, 'Pick one.' They all sounded crazy, but I could only pick one. I picked one and he hooked me up. I never wrote like that before either. He scatted out something for me and then I wrote the lyrics to it."

Tracklist:

1. State of the Union
2. LAX
3. Cold World
4. Saturday Night Live (featuring Jelly Roll)
5. Muthafucka
6. Beware of Us (featuring Strong Arm Steady)
7. Judgement Day
8. Criminal Set
9. Hey Now (Mean Muggin) (featuring Keri Hilson) (Video low, Video high)
10. Ride or Die
11. Crazy Ho (featuring Strong Arm Steady)
12. Big Barking
13. Tough Guy (featuring Busta Rhymes)
14. Scent of a Woman
15. Klack

news 1100466966 - December 31, 1969 By : Our forum member "djkoast" has posted a review of this apparently amazing show on our message board, I thought I'd post it here too, as it sounds crazy!!

Here it is:

"ATCQ Reunion! First time they've been on stage in 6 years. Anahiem Stadium parking lot.

First of all let me just name everyone who was at the show yesterday at Anaheim Stadium: A Tribe Called Quest, Mos Def, X-clan, SPECIAL ED!, Supernatural, Cypress Hill, Xzibit, Strong Arm Steady crew, Tha Likz, Chino XL, Jurrasic 5, Sway and Tech, Dj Revolution, CMA, Little Brother, Dj Icey Ice (beat junkies represent), Mr Choc (beat junkies represent), J Rocc (beat junkies represent), Jaylib, Jay Dilla (D stand up!), Percey P (sp?), and Dj Mark Love.

ATCQ started the set off singing an ODB song to play tribute and then came out and had the crowd have a word of silence for Dirty, mad people throwing up their W's to show respect. Then went on to hug each other. The chemistry between those guys right when they hit the stage was electrifying. Real beautiful thing to see them together again. Got into a couple of jams, KILLED IT. **** was almost like a dream. If you havent seen ATCQ before I suggest you pull out any plans when they come to down and GO. After a few jams they brought out Special Ed for a few joints. Did a few more cuts and then brought out X-clan for a few joints. Went thru all the jams you could think of. Then brought out Mos Def and let him kick a few tracks by himself. Followed it up with a few more cuts then ended the night with Award Tour which had EVERYONE moving. Best concert ive ever seen hands down.

This isnt the order just quick comments...Little Brother came on early so not very many people were there but they were real good. Supernatural was a treat and a half. His 3 words, 3 MCs, and the left to right freestyle of whatever touches his hands really got the whole all day event poppin. J5put on an excellent show. Cut chemist and Dj Numark did their thing together and got the crowd seriously rocking for the guys following them. Numark laid electronic drums into like a high school desk and was pounding away. Xzibit and Cypress Hill need no explanation of how good they are. The drum solo with Bobo and B-real was amazing tho. Both were weaving in and out of each other on seperate drums. Lib and Jay Dilla put on a nice little show, never been a big fan of Jaylib but they nice with theres. After Dj Revolution had come technical difficulties he got on and lit the crowd on fire. There is a reason he gets the amount of respect he does. After everyone got news ODB died EVERYONE dedicated their set to him. Nice to see him get that love from the crowd and artists.

Few rumors, things worth mentioning, facts:

--Phife and Q are the most underrated duo in all of hip hop

--The Pharcyde said that ATCQ insipired them to get back together, so they will be working on a new album.

--Special Ed still has it and has a new album dropping, heard a few cuts on the wake up show last night. Go cop that!

-- Q-tip and Old Dirty Bastard have been long time friends. Q said him and ODB use to battle back when they were 15 or so.

--Tha Likz and Xzibit beef is SQUASHED. He brought them out to perform the likz cut off Restless. They came on stage, he admitted to him not being right without em, and then they all hugged.

--Chino XL is NOT DEAD. Sway and Tech brought him on stage and he kicked a few rhymes accapella. He also dissed actress Cherlon Thrize (or however you spell her fukkin name)

-- Supernatural, during his 3 MCs section of his set, took over Biggie's soul and dissed the fukk outta Guerilla Black.... "Who the Fukk is Guerilla Black / Tell him Biggie said to give his style back"

--Kanye West was suppose to show up but flaked out and turned out to be a no show after the crowd being real hyped he was gonna show up.


Mods this **** should be upped, it gets no more hip hop than this family. If you didnt go.....STOP FUKKIN SLEEPIN ON YASELF! CA ALLLLL DAYYYY!"

news 1101173904 - December 31, 1969 By : A week and half ago, DubCNN was in full effect at the Sony offices for the Xzibit "Weapons Of Mass Destruction" listening party. I was gonna put up a review of what I thought of the album, but was shocked to see that it had already been leaked to the net. I didn't feel the need to let everyone know the scoop on the album, since most probably already heard it by then. But, with a little persuasive talks, thanks to Yash, I'll drop a tiny review. In the house that night was Super Producer Bosko, Latin Fros, Damizza and a few others. Sony were great hosts. They had an open bar the whole night, along with free Valet Parking, which I'm not used to, at all. So big ups to them for that, I for one appreciated it.

As for the album, it knocked, seriously. This is a major step up from Restless and Man Vs. Machine, both of which I disliked. The production was NICE on this album, very fitting for X. The features were crazy, Steady Gang on a track with Suga Free? WOW! Everyone held their own. For me, it was nice to hear Phil Da Agony and Krondon finally get the recognition they deserve. I felt X really got his bars up this go around. Since he's rollin' with SAS, it seems his mind is back in the right place. Make sure you cop this album. And here's some pics.

news 1111022659 - December 31, 1969 By : DJ Warrior wins Best West Coast Mixtape DJ again at Justo's 9th Annual Mixtape Awards!!

NEW YORK- DJ Warrior, is now without a doubt the West Coast's
Finest mixtape DJ when he won Best West Coast Mixtape DJ again at Justos Mixtape Awards held at BB Kings on March 9 in New York City. DJ Strong, co-founder of Cali Untouchable DJs was also nominated for
the Best West Coast Mixtape DJ award. Cali Untouchable DJs were represented well by DJ Warrior, Strong, Cali Untouchable Street Team, and Dow Jones who were all in attendance. DJ Fingaz and DJ Fatal still made and appearance via satellite, and DJ Hideo was in L.A. holding it down at 100.3 The Beat.

"I Feel I definitely deserved (the award) because nobody out here in the West breaks artists like we do", said DJ Warrior about winning the award for The Cali Untouchables. In the last year, Warrior and the Cali Untouchable DJs have broken such artists to the west by putting out mixtapes featuring The Game, Saigon, Strong Arm Steady, Crooked I, Balance, Scipio, Dynamic Certified, Y.A, Technique, Ricashay, Spitfyre, Runnin Mad to name a few and hot producers such as Da Riffs. Along side major players like Kurupt, Outlawz, The Game, DJ Muggs, Talib Kweli, Method Man, Chamillionaire, Pitbull, Stat Quo, etc Warrior says, "We're respected locally, nationally, and overseas, we make it happen"

DJ Strong states "It was good to be recognized for our hard work and
talent but Warrior winning means the team wins so I got no problem coming in 2nd. Next year we're going to take over the whole category."

"We are the DJs that made this mixtape thing popular while other non
mixtape DJs trying to claim they doing something in the mixtape game,
...we would like to inform you there's no mixtape DJs in L.A.,
especiallly Southern CA, besides Cali Untouchable DJs." Says DJ Warrior. "We are the truth for the West, we dont just speak on this we live it everyday...how bout all the real mixtape DJs stand up in Southern CA...hmm, i dont see anybody. So please stop the fakeness before we do u like a chump...holla."

The mixtape awards had a new category with The Best West Coast Mixtape Artist. The artist that were nominated (Game, Balance, Outlaws, and Scipio); all were featured on Cali Untouchable DJs mixtape released as far back as 2003. You can find all of the
award-winning mixtapes at

news 1116119853 - December 31, 1969 By : The Hip Hop world has just been struck with a huge blow, Justo Faison, the founder/creator of The Justo's Mixtape Awards, has passed. According to sources, he was in driving in Richmond, Virgina, doing promotions, which ended in a fatal car accident, early Saturday morning.

I was getting my Oil changed when I got the phone call from DJ Warrior about Justo's passing. It was saddening to hear, to say the very least. I had the pleasure of meeting Justo twice when he was out here in L.A. recently. He showed me a lot of love. I thanked him for showing the West Coast love at a predominatly East Coast function. I knew, just by talking to him, he had no cares about East Coast/West Coast or anything of the sort. He wanted to see Hip Hop progress, as a whole. He will be missed.

"Justo is a person that gave me, not only business, but personal advice, as well. He made Mixtapes official to the industry. He took it to another level for a person like me, who came from nothing and had been grinding so long. I can say that I got my break, to a certain degree, because of him. The Mixtape Awards got me recognition throughout the Hip Hop world. Rest in Peace to him. My Condolences to his family. This is Big loss for Hip Hop today. He was a legend." - DJ Warrior of Cali Untouchable DJs.

As the news came in, so did the phone calls and E-Mails of people sending their condolences and speaking on this tragic news. Here's some quotes from DJ's and Artists.

"Justo made mixtapes happen, he was the one who brought the industry to love mixtapes, to get their artists out. He gave the DJ the strive to make a good mixtape, he brought the awards where the DJs would think if I made a hot mixtape and if I was consistant maybe I would win one. Justo is a legend to the DJs and a great man he will be missed. May Justo R.I.P.." - DJ Papa Smirf

"Big ups to my man Justo, the true Mixtape King. He helped make Mixtape DJ's and Artists. He was able to break down the barriers and bring together the East Coast, West Coast, South, Midwest, Reggae, Reggaeton, etc. He'll be missed. My condolences go out to him and his family." - DJ Hideo of Cali Untouchable DJs.

"Rest in Peace to one of the coolest niggas. He was a real good brotha from the streets to the corporate shit. My condolences." - Chace Infinite of Self Scientific.

"Rest in Peace to Justo. Condolences to him and his family from Strong Arm Steady. He had a great vision for Hip Hop. Furthering everything cats were doing in the U.S. and took it all over the world. Justo gave a platform, something to look for, more so than other hierarchy of award shows. He set tone for real cats in the street makin' names for themselves. From East Coast to West Coast to London. He'll be missed, gotta keep his legacy pushing and alive." - Krondon of Strong Arm Steady.

"Salutes to Justo. This is a tragic loss to Hip Hop. He did a lot for Mixtape DJs when he didn't have to. To be nominated and apart of the Award's is an honor. On behalf of all Cali Untouchable DJs. Condolences to him, his family, friends. I wish it didn't happen. Again, this is a big loss for Hip Hop. He was a Father figure. Hope to see legacy live on. Hope its like Oscar's of Hip Hop for DJs." - DJ Strong of Cali Untouchable DJs.

"In 2003, I moved to NY from Oakland, California, dead broke with dreams of making it in the DJ business. After only being in NY for a week, totally unknown, Justo reached out to me and offered to drive me around to all the boroughs and educate me in the Mixtape game. From that moment on, Justo became my homeboy. Throughout my DJ grind, whenever I had a question or problem, Justo was always ready to listen and help out. If you were real with Justo, he would ride with you no matter what. Those that didn't like him, he didn't do that industry bullshit and pretend to like them either. In 2004 I won a Mixtape of the Year Award. This was an incredible feeling. But my greatest Hip Hop moment was being nominated for a Mixtape Award in 2003, where I sat at Justo's Mixtape Awards at the plushed out Manhattan Center alongside legends like Kid Capri and Redman. At the moment, I went from being a Hip Hop fan to feeling like I was part of the Hip Hop movement - my greatest award ever. I owe all that to Justo." - DJ Vlad.

Tragic loss! I never met him personally but heard nothin' but good things about him. Justo was the pulse of the street, his Award was something that represented hard work and really what this music is: The Streets." - Balance.

"He was doing something good for the community and had a good outlook on Hip Hop. Rest in Peace." - Styles P of The Lox.

Devestating. He had plans to do the Awards in Madison Square. That was his goal to get there. That was the hugest thing for Hip Hop. He had been working on that. He wanted the world to know what the Mixtape awards were about. Its gonna be hard to replace him. He did the most for Mixtape djs. He put money in DJs pockets. There was nothing like the Mixtape Awards. Huge loss to the Mixtape world. Its gonna be hard to do anything he ever did. He had plans to do a Justo Mixtape every week. He started it last week. He was gonna be on Rap City on May 22nd. He had a good heart. For some to recognize DJs, you have to have a good heart. Hes gone be missed and it’s a big loss he made Mixtapes commercial, nobody ever did that.” - DJ SynCity

"You can't measure what he has done for Hip-Hop on a whole. He is a big reason why we have moved 101,000 since 2001." - Annonymous Records.

Justo recently released a DVD Documentary about the Mixtape Awards. For those who never knew him and those who did, PLEASE
Cop The Mixtape Documentary!!!

Let's keep the Legacy alive and keep his dream intact! R.I.P. to a true legend and great person. Dubcnn sends our condolences to Justo and his entire Family and Friends.

We will be Editing this post, adding more shout outs, as well as Pictures and Audio, over the next few days. Continue to pay attention to this.

R.I.P. Justo Faison

news 1130282272 - December 31, 1969 By : It's time for a Change and Chace Infinite and DJ Khalil aka Self Scientific are here to give it to us! The Los Angeles duo released their new album Change on their joint venture with the legendary DJ Muggs, Angeles Records. The label boasts an amazing line up consisting on Muggs, Self Scientific, the San Diego vet Mitchy Slick, Wu Tang Swordsman GZA and L.A.'s Mixtape King himself, DJ Warrior. But, let's not get too far off topic here!

I've had the pleasure of hearing Change and I was very satisfied. The album was entirely produced by Khalil with the only features, outside of hooks, being Planet Asia, Bun B and Kombo. Chace and Khalil continue to show their immense chemistry on every track.

If you enjoyed their first album The Self Science, Chace's Mixtape with Muggs Last Assassin, any of Khalil's Productions of Keith Murray, 50 Cent, G-Unit, Xzibit, Tony Yayo albums or the Strong Arm Steady Mixtapes, then you'll have no problem getting into this album.

Now on to the Interview. Smokes, Henz and RJO of RapTalk.net heading down to San Bernardino 2 weeks ago for Live At The Op, a concert with Self Scientific, DJ Muggs and Gza, Twista, Mack 10, B-Real and many more. They linked up with a lot of people while they were out there and, as the site is in the process of being re-launched, conducted an Interview with Chace and Khalil for Dubcnn.

They talk about their new album, how they connected with Muggs, up and coming projects and much more. But, that's not at all, myself and Justin had the pleasure of hitting up their show at the Conga Room this past weekend. We got 15 minutes of the group performing with a live band. They perform a few cuts off the new album, so just in case you're not sure of what Self Scientific has to offer, you can get an idea. Shouts to DJ Rhettmatic who makes a little cameo at the beginning!

Here's The Track Listing:

01. Intro
02. Change
03. Balance - feat. Kombo
04. King Kong - feat. Bun B of UGK
05. Tears
06. When I Die - feat. Planet Asia
07. Weight Of The World
08. 2 Step
09. Live N Breathe

15. Free Will

news 1130834391 - December 31, 1969 By : An MC the calibre of Planet Asia should, as i am sure you agree, find it no trouble to get a label and get records out. However as the years have panned out all Planet Asia has seemed to battle with is Major label politics and independent label incompetence. To the fans relief, all that is set to change. He now has his own company, Gold Chain Music, and strategic partners that share the vision Planet Asia provides. 2006 will see the release of "The Medi-Cali Trilogy", a three-part series from Fresno's finest and as the titles suggest this is the full "healthcare" package.

The first installment, "The Sickness," features production by Khalil, Jake One, D-Cyde, & Amp Live with guest appearances from Moka Only, Rasco, Flii Stylz, Mitchy Slick & Killa Ben. Part two, "The Diagnosis," sees Planet Asia hooking up with the West Coast Mixtape King and good friend of dubcnn, DJ Warrior, who has been putting out nonstop heat for the past few years. The final piece of the puzzle and what you've all been waiting for, "The Medicine," is produced by Evidence and features Black Thought, Prodigy, Strong Arm Steady, Dilated Peoples, Defari, Babu, Revolution, and Shake Da Mayor.

So if you have felt starved of Planet Asia over recent years then look for these releases in 2006 to more than satisfy your appetite, as ever we will have more news and audio soon!

After working with DJ Khalil, and building a business friendship with DJ Muggs, Mitchy chose Angeles Records for the home of Urban Survival Syndrome. “My thing was that Muggs and them got a steady track record of keeping they businesses running. I peeped they style and how they get down it wasn’t like most of these labels that’s really a gang or ‘hood or family-oriented – Angeles just seemed like a regular record label to me. ‘Cause I’m about business, I’ve already done a lot of ‘hood shit, now it’s about business,” explains Mitchy.

DJ Muggs is equally excited about the working relationship with Mitchy and the upcoming album, “Mitch has a great work ethic, and he’s built himself a following already. I’ve been peeping him for a while – the way he moves is straight business and he understands the way the game works – on top of being the next big thing out of the west,” Muggs explains. “When I got him in the studio, he works like a vet. Ya’ll better recognize Mitchy Slick…the new West.”

The album’s title, Urban Survival Syndrome, is based on an actual disorder. After releasing Triggeration Station, Mitchy came up with the title for USS because Urban Survival Syndrome is a last option used in murder cases or urban-area cases. There was a cat named Damian Osby – he caught 2 murder beefs in Texas. He basically tried to use the fact that he didn’t have no other choice because of his environment and what he grew up having to endure. That was his defense plea in his case, just like post-trauma! tic stress disorder.”

Unlike many “gangsta rappers” and studio gangsters, Mitchy Slick is the product of the rough streets of San Diego – a place where youth are bred to become gang members. Mitchy himself was indoctrinated into gang life in the most unlikely of places – a youth football league. “Pop Warner was the hangout, and the Pop Warner colors were the color of my gang. That’s slick though, I’m 9 years old, I’m the quarterback, the linebacker is lookin’ at me crazy, and they got on the color that their gang wear – the red and black – and I got on the color my neighborhood wear – green – and at 9 years old, you expect me to make the right choice about gangbanging?”!

Mitchy Slick is a new breed of street MC, who hustles harder at the music business than he did in the streets. And with production from DJ Muggs, DJ Khalil, and Fredwreck; Urban Survival Syndrome is sure to rock the streets and the airwaves alike.

Peace and respect, DJ Strong."

I'm slowly but surely getting back into the mix of things and wanted to start it off with an audio update with some of the latest that we have recieved this past week.

Problem, who recently signed a major deal with Universal Republic, released a huge remix to his club banger "I'm Toe Up". The original version was premiered on dubcnn a few months ago, so it's only right we bring you the remix as well. This ain't no regular remix though, Problem cooked up something big.

DJ Quik, Snoop Dogg, Kurupt, Terrace Martin and DJ Felli Fel join the Compton rapper on the "I'm Toe Up" remix, over a remixed beat courtesy of Terrace Martin. Check it out below, and be on the lookout for major moves coming from Problem in 2008, he's only getting started:

news 1222076583 - December 31, 1969 By : Sean Deez is a name that has been featured on dubcnn now and again, but never really got a proper look. The Inglewood rapper has been grinding for a long time now, putting out mixtapes and albums since 2002, including his "Ambitions" album, which was featured in The Source magazine.

He's now linked back up with San Diego's Mitchy Slick and Wrongkind Records to release his new projects. He had first met Mitchy in '97 through West Coast pioneer Sir Jinx, who Deez credits as the producer who first influenced him to rhyme.

When asked about the Wrongkind connection, Deez stated to dubcnn that "the Wrongkind movement is about powerful music from individuals with real stories behind their names, who represent hustlers that have experienced the highs of legendary street fame and ridaz that can never let go of the pain attached to the lows of death and life sentences."

His new mixtape "VVS", which is hosted by DJ JiJi Sweet, drops tomorrow. Features include Strong Arm Steady, 211 and Damani amongst others, while production was provided by Disko and Dubb Knox amongst others. Dubcnn has two preview tracks for ya'll to check out below:

Sean Deez - Hood (Prod. by Disko)
Sean Deez - Bossin' Up (Prod. by Dollaboyz)

news 1100202852 - December 31, 1969 By : Waxploitation Records, a leading record label for hip hop and electronic music, is releasing a charity CD in an attempt to assist in the fight against the Genocide taking place right now in Sudan.

The CD, titled Genocide in Sudan, is slated for a November 23rd release and includes Jurassic 5, Danger Mouse/Murs, Jill Scott, Mark Farina, Thievery Corporation, Kinky, X-ecutioners, DJ Spooky, Tweaker, Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra and Teargas & Plateglass amongst others. More than half the album includes exclusive songs and rarities.

According to the UN, the conflict in Sudan has created the world's worst humanitarian crisis, with more than one million people driven from their homes and up to 50,000 people killed by government supported militias (CNN 8/31/04). The systematic rape of women and the murder of children has been widely reported.

“We’re trying to address two things with this CD,” says Waxploitation CEO Jeff Antebi, the album’s executive producer. “The first is to get the United Nations to declare the ongoing atrocities a genocide, so that real action can take effect to stop what is obviously an ‘ethnic cleansing’ taking place, in violation of the 1948 Geneva Convention. The second is to raise money for the dire relief situation effecting over 1 million innocent civilians who might die from starvation and disease if aid does not reach them right now.”

In 1994 in Rwanda an estimated 800,000 people were killed in just 100 days, in one of the worst genocides of the last century. One of the primary reasons cited for why this happened was a lack of outside intervention by the United Nations. Even with UN troops on the ground in Rwanda, they were unable to intervene because it was not legally declared a Genocide until too late.

Waxploitation will donate all of the profits from the Genocide in Sudan CD to the United Nations Refuge Agency and UNICEF (www.unhcr.ch and www.UNICEF.org ), build awareness for solutions that anyone can easily assist with, including signing the petition at (www.darfurgenocide.org/action.htm), and guide people to protests and events in their area.

The CD will be available at most major retailers as well as at www.waxploitation.com/genocide.

For more information, please check out www.waxploitation.com/genocide , www.unhcr.ch , www.unicef.org and www.darfurgenocide.org/action.htm

news 1121653164 - December 31, 1969 By : AKIR (Source Magazine’s Unsigned Hype)
signs contract with
ViperRecords to Release the long awaited album, “Legacy”

Maybe it was the first concert he saw (Run DMC and the Fat Boys) or the first album he owned (Public Enemy) that sparked his creative flame for Hip-Hop. But it was the turmoil of his early surroundings and his life’s struggles that ignited his hunger to develop into the artist “A.K.I.R.” The acronym and the promise to Always Keep It Real, gave him a name and a prophecy to live by. AKIR took life in Buffalo, NY and grew up throughout New York City, DC, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Atlanta and Maryland. The harsh realities of becoming a black man in today’s world would prove to be a main catalyst.

AKIR first entered the Hip-Hop scene as an on-air personality with WNMH 97.9 (Mass.) in 1994. In 1998, he ranked 2nd out of 50 in Howard University’s Verbal Armageddon emcee competition, and he guest appeared on DJ Arsonist’s (HeatMakers) first mix tape release. Collaborating with partner SOUTHPAW (formerly Ray Dogz of Daddy’s House Recording Studios) he co-produced “The Getaway” for Immortal Technique’s Revolutionary Vol. 1. AKIR released his first single “Best Friend” on DJ N’finit’s mix CD The Blockbuster Vol. 1 (A One Enterprises Product) followed by the EP Street Edition Vol. 1.

At the end of 2001, the project was added to, re-packaged and, distributed as Street Edition Vol. 1 & 2 helping “One” sell over 12,000 copies through an extensive street team network. Being recognized as # 9 CMJ Hip Hop Music Charts (June 2004), and the cameo on “One Remix” for Immortal Technique’s Revolutionary Vol. 2 lead to AKIR’s appearance on the Van’s Warped Tour (Summer 2004) followed by the honor of The Source Magazine’s Unsigned Hype (Jan/Feb 2005). Currently, AKIR is working on his first major release, performing, and doing cameos. AKIR has performed with a diverse array of talented and legendary artist including: Kool G Rap, The Game, Masta Ace, Slum Village, Brand Nubian, Brother Ali, Vast Aire and Immortal Technique.

AKIR’s strongest influences include: the finesse of Slick Rick, the mellow vibe and consistent originality of Q-Tip, the smooth delivery and GQ style of Big Daddy Kane, the complexity and pietism of Nas, the rapid fire flow and intensity of Kool G Rap, and the lyricism of Rakim. AKIR’s vocals are, to say the least, persuasive, melodious, and addictive. His flow is compelling and vividly euphonic with lyrics that are a testament to hip-hop in its purest form.

Look for the new AKIR album coming this year from One Enterprises in a joint venture with Viper Records and executive produced by Immortal Technique.

Look for the new "Politricks" B/W "Treason" feat. Immortal Technique

news 1135372441 - December 31, 1969 By : How often is it you come across a rap duo that are twin brothers? How often is it you come across a rap duo that are twin brothers and from the westcoast? How often is it you come across a rap duo that are twin brothers and from the westcoast and talented!? A rarity? Go figure...! I guess the twin connection means your in for a treat, something different, something fresh, surely that should be clear from the start! We present below a little insight into the group as well as news of a mixtape, hosted and featuring Knoc-Turn'Al. Audio is available below and we will have more from the mixtape soon, take time to read below regarding the the group and what they have so far accomplished.

Emerging from North Hollywood, CA, are two brothers at the tender age of 16 who are steet savvy twin offspring who have seen a lot, done a lot and experienced things people may never and should never in an entire lifetime.

The duo's name, 2XL. 2XL's mission is to shine a beacon from their relatively un-established homeland, locally known as the "GR-8-1-8" (The 818).

Twin brothers Laze (Bennett Armstrong) and Royal City (Justyn Armstrong) have already created an internet following via their official website, 2XLOnline.com which has been heightened by their touring, teen magazine features, local press and the under-ground mixtape circuit. 2XL’s debut album "Neighborhood Rapstars" is testament to a new era in Westcoast Hip-Hop. In such a short time in the industry they have achieved much that some artists would struggle to do in a lifetime in the industry. Having worked with platinum producers like The Co-Stars (Jaheim, Teairra Mari, Sisqo, Lil' Fizz, New Edition, Twista, Jojo), French (Ciara, B2K, Latif, Jody Breeze), The Nimrods (Nelly, Kelly Rowland, Bow Wow, J-Kwon, Teairra Mari), The Craft Productions (Mike Jones) and Howie Hersh (Ja Rule, DMX, Mariah Carey) just to name a few the buzz they have garnered has been hard but fruitful.

With songs already featured in several motion pictures including Barbershop 2, Four Brothers and Like Mike 2, they have established the name 2XL amongst both the music and film industries. The goal of 2XL is relatively uncomplicated, simply to open up the eyes of the general public to help them better understand the teenage lifestyle which exists today: "There are 15 year-olds getting pregnant and 16 year-olds abusing drugs. However hard this may be for adults to face, it’s happening everyday, in every city. Whether we rap about girls, parties or teenage hardships and issues, it’s never fabricated because these are events we've experienced in our life along with millions of other teens." Laze explains.

When asked about their inspirations they quickly respond: "Our mom has been our main inspiration for our music and why we do what we do. She struggled to raise 3 kids on welfare, with cancer, as a single mother." With a deep and sincere love for his mother, Royal explains the 6-inch tattoo of the name Rhea on his forearm: "Rhea is our mom's name, she's means everything to us. My brother and I lived seeing her loose all her hair, fighting for her life in a hospital bed; nobody deserves to go through all that. This tattoo reminds me that our mom’s a soldier and to treat her with respect any time we have disagreements."

When you listen to 2XL these "Neighborhood Rapstars" have an undeniable natural chemistry, bourne, not from practice or training but simply the fact they are twin brothers. It is such a rarity to come across twin brothers who are working hard to make it in this industry as artists however it is equally a pleasure to find two individuals however linked; that put time, effort and all that they are into every track that they make.

Dubcnn as ever have some audio for you to check of the group and also news that they are releasing a mixtape called, "The Development" which features Treacherous/Universal recording artist Knoc-Turn'Al, who also hosts the mixtape, Black Buddafly, and Capitol Records recording artist Aksent. Take some time to visit the 2XL website, 2XLOnline.com and once you have heard the audio below please visit our forum to leave feedback.

This year, he's dropping two albums, Money & Power and the 845 Ent./SMC/Fontana/Universal release, Stay True. We have a track from the latter, that, yet again, reaffirms Pastor Troy is a force to be reckoned with on the mic. More than your typical Crunk rapper, the Pastor implements substance, alongside his ode's to tearing clubs up.

This particular song though, is more riot inducing, than thought provoking.

"My Killas Is Tired, And I'm Gettin' Tired, And We Won't Quit, Til That Grill Re-Wired, Ya Hoe!"

Check out "Police Can't Break It Up" courtesy of Dubcnn, the Room Service Group and 845 Ent.:

news 1147885225 - December 31, 1969 By : "I would like to dedicate this album to all people around the world who live in constant fear of being arrested, deported, attacked, or murdered just because of who we are." - K-Salaam

Queens, New York Producer K-Salaam is gearing up to hit the Industry and the world over the head with his infectious music filled with tons of social commentary. Along with Beatnick, the production duo's Shining Star Music, with backing from Koch, will be releasing The World Is Ours on Jully 11th. The Album is sizing up to be massive with features from Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Saigon, Rakaa Irescience of Dilated Peoples, Sizzla, Papoose, Da Backwudz, dead prez, Bobbitto and others. On top of the quote above, K-Salaam also had this to say about the project:

"I would also like to dedicate this album to all people who have had their land stolen from them, from New Orleans to Palestine. We must take it upon ourselves to learn about what is really happening around the world, rather than watching the news because we are not going to get any type of truth from watching a media broadcast that is funded by vampires...Furthermore, I would like to dedicate this album to the people who created this music and culture that is currently being raped by major corporations and record labels. The majority of people who are making big money off of hip-hop are people who have added nothing to the culture, and are not giving anything back to the communities where it originated."

These quotes, plus more, will be in the inlay of each CD. So, if you're feeling what he's saying here and would like to read more, cop the album on July 11th. Here's a few quotes from a couple of the artists on the album:

"It is a blessing to be a part of this project, to be doing something positive for the people through our music, thats what we do. The Lord would not have created the World if he didnt mean for us all to live in it peacefully. We gotta work together to make things right. We stand behind K-Salaam. The World Is Ours." - Da Backwudz

"The world belongs to the people, but it is controlled by the strongest army...through organiztion we can fully excercise our power as a people and as individuals. As individulas we have to do what we can to survive and gain position that can help the whole...THE WORLD IS OURS!" - dead prez

Here's the tracklist and 3 tracks for ya'll to preview:

news 1151595947 - December 31, 1969 By : La Coka Nostra is a movement which brings together some or all of the members of groups House Of Pain, Lordz Of Brooklyn and Non-Phixion. With Everlast leading the way with Ill Bill, this Supergroup of white Rappers/Producers will soon be blazing the industry with the rugged bully-foot Hip Hop music, as each member always has. Everlast, Danny Boy and DJ Lethal dropped their debut in 1992 on Tommy Boy Records, which featured their biggest Hit, the DJ Muggs produced "Jump Around."

In 1996 they went their seperate ways, Everlast found success as a Solo artist, DJ Lethal joined Rap/Rockers Limp Bizkit. Nearly ten years later, the trio join up again, but this time with their good friend Kaves of Lordz of Brooklyn, Ill Bill of Non-Phixion and a host of others to form La Coka Nostra.

As you could expect, the production on the La Coka Nostra project is going to be dark and sinister. Enlisting not only group members like DJ Lethal and Ill Bill, but extended family Q-Unique, Cynic of Street Platoon/Sick Symphonies and Sick Jacken of Psycho Realm/Sick Symphonies. The latter of the five, Jacken, also finds his way onto the mic, with B-Real, Everlast and Ill Bill on the hard hitting "Fuck Tony Montana." Everlast vehemently spits out lyrics like:

"Drugs, Money And Sex, Revolution Is Next, This Ain't Strong Armed Robbery, We Got A Small Armory, Fuck Cracks And Glocks, We Shootin' Back At The Cops, Deep Under Cover Like We Runnin' Black OPs"

If you dig that, believe it only gets better. Check that out below:

La Coka Nostra feat. B-Real & Sick Jacken - Fuck Tony Montana

We also have a song from La Coka member Big Left. The Queens Born, Bronx native of Italian descent spews out flame for all his "Drug Smugglers, Gun Busters, Fed Duckers" over ominous keys. Check out "Head Nod Shit" below:

news 1160918831 - December 31, 1969 By : As we reported last month Lil Eazy-E has been working on a mixtape with the Cali Untouchable DJ's; DJ Warrior & DJ Strong. The mixtape is now available and is part of the Cali Untouchable Radio mixtape series - entitled "The Rebirth Of Gangsta Rap" and will preceed his official debut album which will now be coming out on Blackground/Universal/NWA Ent. since he left Virgin Records earlier this year.

He was only a month away from his 11th birthday when his father Eazy E passed away in 1995.

Ever since the day, Lil' Eazy E has dreamed of picking up where his father left off. Recognized by many as the Godfather of Gangsta Rap, Eazy E was also father to his own blood - Eric Wright Jr. As his father was taking hip-hop by storm with Eazy-Duz-It and a gang of Ruthless records, his son was growing up in the mean streets of Compton.

Eazy Sr. passed on the torch of gangsta rap when Lil' Eazy was 10, while it may have taken a few years for Lil' Eazy to develop into a worthy successor, he is ready to take his shot as reviving the gangsta rap that once ruled the Compton kingdom.

Ready to go all out on the way to a major label debut album, Lil' Eazy first wanted to serve the streets with his first official mixtape with the CAli Untouchable DJ's and establish himself as a rapper, not just Eazy's son.

We have the tracklist below for this mixtape with all the guest appearances and later this week we will have exclusive audio from the project. The CD is available for sale now on HipHopWest and will be available on dubcnn for paid download next week.

Now that the Potent Poets project is no longer happening, C-Infamous has put his focus elsewhere. Potent Poets ended on good terms though. It was Profe-C that hooked up C-Infamous with the newest addition to Chronico Music: Famas.

Being a relative newcomer, Famas has come out strong. In his first concert to open for anyone, he opened for Bone Thugs N Harmony, who coincidently inspired him to rap in the first place. Famas is also slated to open up for Lloyd Banks this Thursday November 30th at Plush in Vancouver. Below we have two exclusive tracks from Famas available for download. Watch out for more to come with Famas & Chronico music.

news 1192114592 - December 31, 1969 By : B-Legit has been a major player on the West Coast for many years as both a founding father of the independent rap scene and strong contributor to the Bay Area Hip Hop movement. In November, following a long hiatus, B-Legit will release his latest album "Throwblock Muzic" which is currently being finalised.

Having been a staple in the Bay Area music scene for years as a pioneer and business man B-Legit helped put his hometown of Vallejo and the greater Bay Area on the map.


"Hands On Them Knees" is the first single off "Throwblock Muzic" which has a total of 16 tracks. The album features appearances from E-40, Mac Dre, Clyde Carson and Levitti as well as production from Mike Mosely, Goldfingaz, Stix, Troy Sanders and E-A-Ski. Always one to help up and coming Bay Area rappers, B-Legit also features artists he signed to his label, Block Movement, on the album - including Taj-He-Spitz, Duna, 2wiceberg Slym and Harm from the Rich.

The concept for "Throwblock Muzic" is a bit different stated B-Legit in a recent press release; "I stay recording, so I have songs that I love but didn't fit on my last album and don't fit on my new album so I took my favorite ones, touched 'em up, recorded some new songs and came up with Throwblock Muzic."

"Throwblock Muzic" also features some tracks that were until that time only released on mixtapes, he has remixed them and added new artists to the songs. "Throwblock Muzic" is said to be only the first phase in B-Legit's Block Movement; "My last album hit before the Hyphy Movement broke, I'm known for that classic mob music so I fell back and went to work. I gave the kids a chance but now I have to step in and do what I do best. Throwblock Muzic is to hold you over until Block Business."

Throwblock Muzic will surely redefine why B-Legit aims to redefine himself as one of the legendary artists of the Bay Area when "Throwblock Muzic" hits stores via SMC Recordings on November 20th 2007. Block Business is then set for release in March of 2008.

news 1221170555 - December 31, 1969 By : Grammy Award nominated rapper Paperboy a.k.a Mitchell Johnson, has seen the highs and lows of the music business during his fifteen year career.

In the wake of his platinum certified single "Ditty" reaching #10 on Billboard’s Hot 100, Paperboy’s debut album "The Nine Yards" was certified gold by the RIAA. "Ditty" went on to be nominated for Best Rap Solo Performance at the 1994 Grammy Awards. Not bad for a 19 year-old who’s plans had been to play Major League Baseball.

In the years that followed "The Nine Yards", Paperboy released two more albums, 1996’s "City to City", and 2004’s "The Love Never Dies" - neither of these releases were able to match the success of "The Nine Yards."

Paperboy however is again poised for success, and is preparing to release his new album "The New News", which features guest appearances from platinum and gold artists E-40, Krayzie Bone of Bone Thugs-N- Harmony and Slim Thug. Paperboy also linked up with highly successful producer Paul Poli and hip-hop legend King Tee.

Born and raised in South Central Los Angeles, Paperboy saw a lot of the rough side of the streets, but had a happy home life. "It was cool growing up in L.A." explains Paperboy. "I wasn’t gangbanging, but I was around everything. My people were gangbanging. I had lovely parents though and a great home. My father actually passed away last year, and that has made me stronger."

Although Paperboy started writing music at 16, he and the people around him thought playing baseball was going to be the route he took in life. Music turned out to be the route he took thanks to writing music with the lead singer of The Sylvers, Foster Sylver. Sylver had a music meeting in Las Vegas and he told Paperboy that if he didn’t have what the executives were looking for, then he was going to play them his (Paperboy’s) material. Foster kept his word, and the rest is history.

Now in 2008, Paperboy is ready to make headlines again for his music. A star studded cast of guests grace his new album "The New News." Today we have the albums lead single for download "That Boy" featuring Slim Thug. The track can be listened to in one of our Brand New Streaming Audio players as well as downloaded for free. Both those options - as well as the options to embed the song on your MySpace pages or even on our forum are within the link below

news 1087993458 - December 31, 1969 By : Ya'll know about Lil Flips new album "Can U Feel Me" which has been out for a little while with the huge single "Game Over".
He is now set to release the follow up single, called "Sunshine"! Sandy Lal, Flip's manager and attorney of Kingpin Entertainment Group, had the following to say about the single: ""This track is a collaboration with Lil' Flip and our newest artist Lea, just signed to Kingpin. It's produced by The Synphony. Lea's sweet voice combined with Flip's playalistically catchy rhymes really takes this song over the top. The single speaks for itself; it's already at over 3000 radio spins and will be going to Top 40 this week. I asked Flip to collaborate with Lea and he just jumped right on it. That was no surprise; she is as talented as she is beautiful. As for Flip, he gets up close and personal on "Sunshine", he's still a player but not on the courts on this track."

And Flip himself had a few words about the song too, ""Sunshine is a little different from what people have heard from me. I wanted a smooth track for the ladies this time. My manager Sandy originally
did the song for Lea but then decided to put me on it. When I heard the track, I got right on it and wrote it in fifteen minutes! I wanted to lay down the rules for dating a rapper like myself. Since I'm always on the road, she has to be patient. I'll definitely be in touch once I get into town but I can't stick around for too long. I can't be a steady boyfriend because of my schedule, but when I have the time, I will definitely give it to my babygirl. I touch on these things in the song. I think everyone will appreciate "Sunshine", both the males and females.
"

I'm not going to hype him up, I'll let the music speak for it self. Krook's looking for a warm R&B label that's self contained, artist to work with, meaning writting, appearing on tracks and just networking with artist period. Most of you will ask the question "why isn't this cat out, his music is off the chain"!!, well Krook has been overlooked, but also things happen for a reason, and we hope that a label will have the ears and eyes to realize that. Krook has been spoke on in New York alot lately and he's getting radio spins in Syaracuse New York!!!! top mix show, that's a start but not enough!!!!!

I don't want you guys to read a book, so let me send you to krooks E.P.K. site for you to view, we're adding things daily so check back frequently. I hope you enjoy Krook, and the definition of Krook is "DON'T LEAVE YOUR LADY UNATTENDED" Think about it!!!!!!!!

news 1091484009 - December 31, 1969 By : We all know West Coast Hip Hop has been strugglin' to get exposure for the past couple of years. This musical slump might have many different reasons, it might be the artists not putting out top notch music, or the industry intentionally blackballing the West Coast...

One thing's for sure though, we want this to change. And this is why DubCNN, the West Coast News Network, is teaming up with Enexes, your Entertainment Gateway. Together, we're going to start a new movement, and it's in motion as we speak. The A&R of Enexes, Frank Nitty, who many of you might know as THE man behind everything going on on the West Coast, is recruiting an army of soldiers, hungry to record new music. Not just the same shit you've been hearing over and over. But some FRESH music.

Dileone, the CEO of Enexes.com, is backing the movement by providing us with the studio, where Goldie Loc from Tha Eastsidaz has eagerly been recording for the past few months along with the legendary Chocolate and many more. I'm not going to disclose too much about the new projects, as it's still in the beginning stages, but we will be having regular updates, right here on DubCNN.com, so stay tuned.

Now on to the alliance between Enexes and DubCNN. We're taking HipHop on the internet to the next level. If you aren't hip to Enenex yet, hit up
www.enexesartists.com and check it out. If you're an independent artist and are trying to get cracking on the internet, this is for you. Enexes offers you a website, including store and everything. With the Enexes profile, everybody can know who you are, what you do or what you're trying to do, with just a few clicks. And they will be able to buy your music, right there.

This is new age promotion. You control it, not a label. And that's how it's supposed to be. We're going to give you a more indepth view on the future developments, so make sure to check back right here on DubCNN real soon.


I know we've been kinda slow with the updates and interviews in the past few weeks, but believe me, you're not prepared for what's about to come. I'm not even gonna spoil it for you, just sit back and watch, DubCNN is gonna bring you more than just news and interviews on the West Coast. We're gonna have it in a way where you're going to feel like you're RIGHT THERE, watching every step of what's happening of the West Coast, wether you live in Australia, Japan, Russia, New York, or in L.A.

It's about to be big, oh boy!

news 1092804373 - December 31, 1969 By : YinSumi Press, the worlds first publishing house dedicated to documenting the political and social aspects of the Hip Hop sub-culture, in conjunction with www.lyricalswords.com, is proud to announce the release of Adisa Banjoko's highly anticipated book "Lyrical Swords Vol. 1: Hip Hop and Politics in the Mix" on November 2nd 2004. Edited by journalist Ali Asadullah, "Lyrical Swords" is a collection of essays and interviews on Hip Hop culture, politics and social issues written over the last decade. Hip Hop cultures political effect has been a highly discussed topic in this Presidential election year.

While new to most of America, this arena has been Adisa's stomping ground for over 15 years. "I was raised in my early days politically by my parents" says Mr. Banjoko. "In my young adult years I was raised poltically by panthers, rebellious artists, poltical activists and urban educators in my world. This book, is a cliff note of that journey."

Pioneer Hip Hop journalist, Adisa Banjoko, hails from the San Francisco Bay Area. His articles have graced the pages of The Source, The Harvard Hip Hop Archive, XXL, Vibe, Yoga Journal, Grappling, Daveyd.com, Rapstation.com, Pacific News Service, and Allhiphop.com among others. His book "Lyrical Swords" features intervews and essays with some of Hip Hop's greatest icons including Russell Simmons, Q-Tip, Everlast, Martial Arts Legend Royce Gracie, Paris, Mystic, Dilated Peoples Rakaa, Encore, Shamko Noble, Shaolin Monk Shi Yan Ming, and many others. He is easily one of the most respected, hated and loved people in the Hip Hop community.

Under the pen name ᶴThe Bishop of Hip Hopᶴ, Adisa Banjoko has entertained and educated many on Hip Hop culture, Eastern philosophy, Martial Arts, Islamic culture, and African American social issues. Host of the critically acclaimed One Mic Radio show, his poltically charged antics got him swiflty removed from the wickedly conservative 910 AM KNEW which host radio personalities such as Mike Savage and Bill O'rielly. "I knew I was doing something right, when they booted us", Adisa laughs. Nevertheless, his online support grew globally. Downloadable at www.lyricalswords.com, it has proven to be a core bridge between the Hip Hop and Political realms. Past guests include Presidential Candidate Al Sharpton, WMD Insp. Scott Ritter, Warren G, Jackie O, Paris, MC Lyte, Daz Dillenger, DJ QBert, T-La Rock and Wu-Tang Clan's Masta Killa.

Mr. Banjoko㙠s knowledge has earned him countless invitations to lecture at prestigious universities such as Harvard University, Stanford University, U.C. Berkeley, U.C. Santa Cruz and San Francisco State, just to name a few. He has shared the stage with political and cultural icons such as S.F. Mayor Willie Brown, civil rights leader Jesse Jackson, Presidential Candidate Dennis Kucinich, Hip Hop pioneer Afrika Bambataa, rap legend Chuck D, and pioneer b-boy Crazy Legs. "I'm trying to get the young people of the world to arm themselves mentally and politically. On November 2nd after you go to the polls, vote for yourself and get 'Lyrical Swords'. I'm gonna be touring the continental U.S. the next few months. I'll be walking all over the streets of the Bay, LA, NY, the ATL and Philly with these books. Wherever people are getting boxed outta the game by these snakes and fakes, I'm gonna be handing out these swords to libirate minds."

People looking for a glimpse of "the swords" can go to www.lyricalswords.com (designed by graf legend Scape Martinez) and get 3 complimentary chapters of the book sent to them via email.

Big shouts to Brian Lewis & Juda Starr for putting on the show. Thanks for lacing your boy with some VIP acess. I got you on anything you need homie. Now, back to the show.

I showed up with LatinaBeatz(from this site, with her fine ass. LOL.) and her cousin, about half way into the first set. The first group up was 7th Sign. Seen them before, real dope group. Didn't get any pics though. They are actually a 7-8 person squad, including a drummer, but this night they only had 5 people. Not sure why. Nonetheless, I suggest peeping them out
here. Preview their album on CDBaby.com. Their emcees are very powerful and don't follow that usual Compton sound. Very dope group who are yet to get the attention they deserve. They have a singer, a Reggaeton artist, male emcees, female emcees, the works. A real eclectic group with a real crazy sound and great message. Now, they're not on some preachy shit, but they're socially concious, and all of them can spit it hot. Watch for more on them here in the coming weeks. On to the next act.

Hailing from the Northside of Long Beach is the Project Blowedians Da Mon Star Mob. I've also brought them up before on the site during a few of my reviews, these cats are SERIOUS. Skarekrow on the beats, and let me tell you, this boy is a problem. He's got some of the illest beats I've heard in a minute. Jul Unique, L-Swift & Onslaught are very dope emcees, I might add, as well. They all have mad energy and spit heat for the streets and the clubs. I got a couple videos of their performance so you can see for yourself. I'll be dropping that in the coming time. I'm for sure gonna bring a lot more info on this group. They're being slept on, but it's time to change all that. They got an album dropping and another one coming sooner than you think. Check out their official website.

Next up, more Blowed members, Customer Service. This is an 8 man squad, but they only had 6 members with them. They all looked rather young, but all controlled the mic well. This group is truely breaking down the color lines, so to say, we find in Hip Hop today. They got cats of all colors and creeds and cultures in their group. I had heard their name before, but I've never seen them. I enjoyed their set. They have fun with Hip Hop, but keep it in it's purest form. But, if you're a close minded person who only wants gangsta shit, they may not be for you. Anyway, the entire crew has some real good energy. I enjoyed their set. I'll also be bringing info on them. If you don't frequent the Project Blowed events on Thursdays, you can keep up with the crew on their Official site or their page on Myspace also. Look for a video of some of their perfomance coming soon.

Now don't sleep on this next emcee. He's one of THE illest on the West Coast, hell, he's one of the illest in all of Hip Hop. I don't give a fuck, I'm big uppin' him like that. Trenseta is NOT for play. On the mic he's a beast. He's cocky, but he backs it up. He has witty punchlines, but DO NOT confuse him for a punchline emcee. Tren comes with depth, real lyrics and a great live show. On stage, he's no different that he is on CD. Anyone who heard his Uncut Vol. 1 mixtape will know what I mean. Unfortunately, my camera started acting up during his performance, I was only able to get a few pictures and the video cut off. Not to worry, I'll be bringing the scoop on Tren and his Urban Legendz crew, soon.

Planet Asia. What else is there to say? A Legend. An amazing emcee. One of the greats out here. His live show is a must see. He comes out solo. No hype man, which is a major plus. He gets the crowd very hype. He performed some old cuts and did a lot of new shit. He even treated us to a cut off his up coming Mixtape. It was tight as hell. I got it on tape and I'll be bringing that exclusively to ya'll here. Also, during his set, Asia pointed out legendary Hip Hop producer Battlecat(shouts to BC!) in the crowd. He mentioned that he and Cat will be collabing, so be on the look for that. It's gonna be major. One of the illest producers with one of the illest emcees, can't wait. Also, don't forget, As is doing a full album with Evidence of Dilated Peoples. He's working hard, so support the man damn it!

To close the show, you had the leader of the Project Blowed, Aceyalone. As always he puts on a great show, going through classics and new material. Just as with the rest of the acts, I got some video of his performance. You'll just have to keep checking back for that. It's gonna be off the hook. Ace ended his set by bringing up a bunch of emcees who performed and they all started freestyling, in classic Project Blowed fashion. Cats from Customer Service and other Blowedians like Non-Stop went up and busted. Even Planet Asia joined in on the fun. Great way to end a great show. I'll be keeping ya'll informed on the Blowed as well, too. All the artists.

Here are some pictures to keep you occupied until I get the videos ready.

news 1098868924 - December 31, 1969 By : YinSumi Press, the world's first publishing house dedicated to documenting the political and social aspects of the Hip Hop sub-culture, in conjunction with www.lyricalswords.com , is proud to announce the release of Adisa Banjoko's highly anticipated book "Lyrical Swords Vol. 1: Hip Hop and Politics in the Mix" on November 2nd 2004.
"Lyrical Swords" is a collection of essays and interviews on Hip Hop culture and the political, social and spiritual trends within it. Hip Hop culture's political effect has been a highly discussed topic in this Presidential election year.
While new to most of America, this arena has been Adisa's stomping ground for over 15 years. Under the pen name "The Bishop of Hip Hop", Adisa Banjoko has entertained and educated many on Hip Hop culture, Eastern philosophy, Martial Arts, Islamic culture, and African American social issues.
His new book "Lyrical Swords" however, has garnered much attention in various media circles. Recently, Adisa Banjoko has been seen on KRON with Isabel Duron, Phil Matier and SF Mayor Willie Brown discussing the potential power of the Hip Hop vote. He was also featured on KPIX with Barbara Rogers. Hip Hop Historian Davey D featured Mr. Banjoko as a guest for "Hard Knock Radio" on KPFA radio. He was also a recent guest on Air America's radio show "Unfiltered", hosted by Hip Hop political icon Chuck D of Public Enemy. You can also find his book getting an honorable mention in the new issue of The Ave Magazine.
"Lyrical Swords" features intervews and essays with some of Hip Hop's greatest icons including Russell Simmons, Q-Tip, Everlast, Martial Arts Legend Royce Gracie, Paris, Mystic, Dilated Peoples Rakaa, Encore, Shamko Noble, Shaolin Monk Shi Yan Ming, and many others. He is easily one of the most respected, hated and loved people in the Hip Hop community.
Mr. Banjoko’s knowledge has earned him countless invitations to lecture at prestigious universities such as Harvard University, Stanford University, U.C. Berkeley, U.C. Santa Cruz and San Francisco State, just to name a few. He has shared the stage with political and cultural icons such as S.F. Mayor Willie Brown, civil rights leader Jesse Jackson, Presidential Candidate Dennis Kucinich, Hip Hop pioneer Afrika Bambataa, rap legend Chuck D, and pioneer b-boy Crazy Legs.
"I'm trying to get the young people of the world to arm themselves mentally and politically" stated Mr. Banjoko. On November 2nd after you go to the polls, vote for yourself and get 'Lyrical Swords'. I'm gonna be touring the continental U.S. the next few months.
Before the official tour, I'll be holding Bay Area book jams at Future Primitive Sounds in SF with Champion DJ Kid Dragon and my man B-boy Remind. On the Nov. 5th I'll be at Marcus Books in SF w/ MC Shamako Noble and AK Black. On Nov. 6th I'll be at the Rumi Bookstore in Fremont w/ MC Shamako Noble and Inspector Dbl. Negative. I will also have a mixtape dropping with my man Rob Flow from Spin Dynasty. I plan to change the way we all view Hip Hop and politics."
"I sold out of all of my pre-order books at Hip Hop events and political events here in the Bay. I sold them from the back of my Ford F-150. I learned how to hustle watching Short Dog, Master P, Andre Nickatina and E-40 do their thing. People will find me all over the streets of the Bay, LA, NY, the ATL and Philly with this wisdom. Wherever people are getting boxed outta the game by these snakes and fakes, I'm gonna be handing out these swords to liberate minds."

People looking for a glimpse of "the swords" can go to www.lyricalswords.com (designed by graf legend Scape Martinez) and get 3 complimentary chapters of the book sent to them via email.

news 1101251178 - December 31, 1969 By : Hailing from North East Los Angeles, in the city of Highland Park, comes this bilingual wonder, known as Reazn. When I first met Reazn in August at the Latin Rap Conference in San Diego, we chopped game about Hip Hop and life in general, and clicked right away. He likes everyone from the Dungeon Family to Too Short, not to mention he lives the B-Boy lifestyle. He breaks, he emcees and he graf's, retaining 3 of Hip Hop's key elements. He's not just some Chicano Rapper you hear on Pocos Pero Locos.

Flipping in English and Spanish, Reazn is a rarity in the Hip Hop game. He's no slouch in either language, when he busts, he's as serious as cancer. On his album La Razon De Ser, translated as Reason Being, he touches on the streets, his life, growth and a number of other social concepts that are rarely touched upon in Hip Hop, especially in Latin Hip Hop. His album is tough, I bumped it the weekend I got it, and haven't stopped yet. I conducted a real short
Mini Interview outside of Sinful of Tha Mexakinz' album release party with Reazn. Peep that to get insight from the man himself. I'll put text up for it soon, and believe me, I'll bring a more in depth interview soon, as well.

Here is 3 songs from his album, so you can hear what he's working with. First is the catchy Espanol O Ingles, then we got, exactly what the title suggests, something new in the track Algo Nuevo and last but not least, Reazn invites you into his life with Welcome To My World. If you enjoyed these tracks, or want to hear more of Reazn, you can cop the album for 10 dollars or listen to a few more tracks here.

Shouts to the whole Contraband Records crew!!!

Now I'm going to take you just East of Los Angeles, into the Desert area, in a VERY important city in California, for the growth of Latinos, called Coachella. Here we find Malverde. He brings an amazing presence on the mic. He flips his raps in Spanish like no other. The first time I heard his album I was hooked. His rhymes are intelligent, yet understandable and rather catchy. I also conducted a Mini Interview with the man outside of Sinful's release party, so go ahead and listen to that to hear more from him and who he is. Much like with Reazn, we'll bring you a more indepth interview with Malverde soon. He has a lot to say, and DubCNN is willing to be the outlet for that.

On to his album. Mi Palabra, which means "My Word," contains 13 tracks, fully in Spanish. Even though some of you may not be able to understand Spanish, the production WILL catch your attention, without a doubt. He carries a militant mindset, with the ability to move the crowd. He pays his respects for the man he got his name from, Jesus Malverde, as well as brings to light issues he's lived with and many others who came up as he did, have lived with. To get a taste of Malverde, here's three tracks, as well:

The title track, Mi Palabra, the infectious Sonador and finally the insightfull Asi So Yo.

If you enjoyed those tracks, make sure you head to his Official Site and cop the album.

Both of these artists are performing tonight at the House Of Blues on the Sunset Strip. I strongly suggest peeping this show out, to not only see them, but Crooked Stilo, Kemo, Mellow Man Ace and others.

Latin Hip Hop is here, and it ain't a game anymore!!! Latinos stand the fuck up!

news 1102553873 - December 31, 1969 By : I just wanted to pay respect to a local lady who wasn't afraid to play West Coast music and unsigned artists that were hungry to be heard. You'll be missed Break-A-Dawn =(




MAITLAND, Fla. -- Orlando radio listeners are mourning the loss of a local morning show personality.

Complications from pregnancy killed Dawn Blackstone Fleming Wednesday morning, who used the on-air name "Break-A-Dawn," WESH NewsChannel 2 reported.

She was a newlywed and a new mom.

Break-A-Dawn was part of the "Wake-Up Posse" on the morning drive at 102 JAMZ. She handled community and entertainment news for the hip-hop station and used her talents to help dozens of charities in Central Florida.

Earnest James, the senior vice president at 102 JAMZ, said everyone at the station feels they've just lost a family member. Fleming was more than an on-air talent: She was the station's leader in community outreach and a sparkplug personality with a warm heart who will be sadly missed.

She was newly married and set to deliver her first child when doctors told her she was having trouble with dangerously high blood pressure. She went off the air and into the hospital last month. She delivered her new daughter just before Thanksgiving, but then lapsed into a coma.

"The birth of her child is what she gave her life for. So, it's important that I do my part to recognize Dawn as the heroine that she was," James said.

Just 31 years old, Fleming lost her battle Wednesday morning. Her co-workers are being offered grief counseling, and sympathy cards are likely to pour into the station, joining the dozens of thank-you notes and awards from the charitable organizations that benefited from Break-A-Dawn's weekly broadcasts that focused on people most in need.

Karen Yeager, who runs Place of Comfort in Longwood, said she'll remember Fleming not just for her radio broadcasts that helped her agency collect food and toys, but for her personal commitment to help struggling kids and families.

"She truly had the heart of a volunteer. How else to be remembered? She really has a legacy," she said.

On her station Web site's bio page, Break-A-Dawn wrote: "We are not promised tomorrow."

Her co-workers now understand that painful truth.

"Her way would have been to live fully for today," James said.

102 JAMZ has been flooded with calls about Fleming. Funeral arrangements are being made as her family struggles to cope. Station management said at least one of the services being planned will be open to the public.

One ray of light in all of this: Her new daughter, born premature, appears to be healthy and doing well.

news 1103901413 - December 31, 1969 By : Wednesday December 22, 2004 at the Knitting Factory in Hollywood found DubCNN in the midst of one of the illest shows this year. The line up included headliners and people you brought us this amazing show, the F.I.L.T.H.E.E. Immigrants, as well as Underground legends Mykill Myers, 2Mex & Busdriver. Along with plenty of Up and Coming artists like Global City, Borettta, Second State, Fats and others.

How much was it to get in you ask? 5 dollars or a Toy. All of these artists came out in support of a Toy drive! That's real ill. As they said during the show, "This time of the year is for the kids." The house was packed there's gonna be some very happy kids this Christmas. Props to Rif, Dutch & F.I.L.T.H.E.E. for putting this together.

The show was a heat rock in it's own. Everyone was given 10 minutes to do their set. And it moved very quickly. There was only one point of dead time during the entire show that boasted performances from over 10 artists. Pretty damn good, if you ask me.

All the acts were good. But, it wasn't until 2Mex and crew came out, that the crowd got crazy. On the first song of his set, a Mosh pit erupted. F.I.L.T.H.E.E. Immigrants continued the onslaught of hard hitting jams, keeping the Mosh pit going strong. But, when they brought out the special guests of the night, the place was truely bumping. For the first time since 1998, Sick Jacken of Psycho Realm and B-Real were on the same stage performing together. Along with Street Platoon, it was a perfect way of ending the night.


So, not only did the kids get a treat, but so did the fans. They witnessed Hip Hop history! Again, I'd like to thank the F.I.L.T.H.E.E. Immigrants for putting this together and giving back to the community. Also, I really would like to thank them for showing DubCNN so much love. Pick up their muthafuckin' album!!!!! Shouts to everyone who came out to support the kids!

news 1104171579 - December 31, 1969 By : Houston rapper Lil Flip's new album entitled I Gotta Get Mine is due out in late February or early March. For the album he's working with a number of producers, such as Texas duo Play-N-Skillz and R&B Crooner Mario Winans. But, look out for Flip to flex his production skills, as well.

The album will be swarmed by guest appearances. He's going to release two singles, one being the song "Real Hip-Hop" which will feature Ghostface and LL Cool J. The song is described as "a look at Hip Hop, from three different generations."

The other single is a remake Tupac's "Still Ballin'" and is entitled "Stay Ballin." This song will feature the Thug Lord himself, Yukmouth.

On top of that, Flip will be addressing T.I., as they've been trading jabs, since T.I.'s release from Jail. The album will feature Nelly and Jadakiss, too. So, it's obvious Flip is really looking to hit all demographics on this. From the Gangstas to the Hip Hop Heads to the TRL Crowd.

news 1106674029 - December 31, 1969 By : All Hip Hop lovers and sympathizers know that Dr. Dre has been in the rap game for over 20 years. In fact, he was one of the pioneers of gangsta rap, helping create the West coast sound of Hip Hop. He created a reality that needed to be heard as the East Coast could be best known for metaphors and vivid descriptions and exaggerations of reality, the West Coast held a more different poetic stance. They spoke as if they were reading from their very own diaries. They spoke of things that forced Suburban America to pay attention, far beyond their glass houses a grimer picture was painted revealing the harsh struggles in the world. The East Coast continued to deliver a crafty method and mathematical timing of Hip Hop that either preached social change or gave a comical view of urban America, NWA boldly announced this statement, "Fuck The Police", "Express Yourself", "Dopeman" amongst countless others, all sharing to the world their reality and not apologizing one bit for it. Dr. Dre was also in the presence of Tupac as he gave us another added dimmension of reality. Since Dr. Dre left Death row in late 1996 he has built a new company -Aftermath and has made it one of the most powerful labels in hip hop. In fact Aftermath is the winning dynasty that has closed the gate on its competitors. With multi-platinum acts like Eminem and 50 cent, Dre has shaped and given a new face to hip hop and has guided these stars to superstardom. Now he has added large hip hop acts like Busta Ryhmes and Eve and has produced hits for all the heavy weights in the game.


Some would say Dre has nothing left to give hip hop or anything left to prove. Dr. Dre ‘s legacy as a hip hop legend is in place and undoubtly has nothing left to prove. Or maybe he does? Dre might not tell you his inner motivations but actions are a clear indication of any man, He actually owed himself something the ability to pay homage and give back to where he came from. He owes the place that helped made NWA a legend and DR. DRE an icon- COMPTON. Dr. Dre didn’t only come back to his home state of California to find the new face of the west coast; he came to his own back yard, his old hometown of Compton and found himself in the GAME.


Hailing from the same mean streets of Compton that Dre and Eazy E hailed from. GAME molded by the streets, by pain, by reality, by death, by new life, Dr. Dre saw everything that he experienced in this new found Aftermath soldier. At 25 yrs old and only a rapper of 3 yrs Game already has the savvy of a seasoned Jay-Z, and the in depth rhymes of the streets own Edgar Allen Poe NAS. Yes and although I have named 2 east coast artists and some West coast main stays would be offended to know he has combination and sound of East Coast rappers. But that is only one dimension of this multifaceted artist Game has the attitude of the young NWA. Game fearlessly speaks his mind, its almost as if he is not intending to offend, but that's how his very fabric is made. He openly speaks what many of us dare not to even think in a world of "politically correct" and "fake happiness". The Hip Hop game was becoming just that, we got new Blood. This is what west coast rap and gangsta rap was and is based on realities, honesty, candor that is unheard of. In a time when rappers want to talk about what they have seen in a movie or the hard lives others have had to endure. Game is a refreshing ray of light in Hip Hop. We all know there are times in our lives that we don't really want to know the truth, we are scared to find out the truth, but deep within our nature, our fabric, we know the truth is what we need. Not taking away from the other genres that emerged, but reality has a soothing effect on everyone's psyche no matter the good or bad, everyone underlying needs the truth. And The Game is definitely the truth.


Game rhymes and talks about what he has seen for 25 years of his life, but manages to connect with men who are in prison who have been there for 25 years of their lives, and manages to connect with disheartened women, unrealized dreamers, and the people that society has forgotten about. Game holds no punches or tears back about the life not only he lives, but the life all kids who grow up in Compton or any urban hood or disenfrachised home had to endure. Instead of trying to glorify a fictious gangster life that most rappers only know about through movies or word of mouth, Game puts a spotlight on the life of kids who grow up in the hood and more importantly the streets of Compton, forcing us to ask ourselves is this really a life that we want for our children, for our future? Did we forget about this life when we forgot about Dr. Dre? As the cycle of Hip Hop went from East to South to Midwest, the extremely painful reality begin to wash away with pimps, luxuries, dancing, and women. Like Tupac, Game doesn't talk about what he sees he talks about what he knows. After the attempt on his life and his dreams of becoming a basketball star unrealized, Game tapped into the artistic and creative genuis that lies within us all. And although he says that he started studying all the greats of Hip Hop while recovering from the ambush, a man this poetic had a creative force that was always within, but just simply needed to be tapped. After a year of gaining buzz on the underground of California and working with an independent underground force. Fate stepped into Game’s life when Dr. Dre got handed the natives demo. After hearing his demo it's then that Dr. Dre realized that he had come full circle in the Game.

The Documentary is a classic for 3 reasons: Dr. Dre, perfect timing, and Game's undeniable artistic skills. Each song screams classic even the intro encourages us to understand the concept of economic advancement for the West Coast by playing the GAME, and the West Coast is definitely back and playing. Westside Story vividly places us into a California anthem and it reminds us that the West was restless, with hardcore street beats, you can't help but visualize Compton. Dreams is a universal song not because we all have them, but because each one of us are driven by our dreams, and Game taps into that. For those that think that he is just one dimmensional talking about "Gangster Rap", Martin Luther King Jr and Hughey Newton would've been happy to know that each of their dreams for social change was remembered by this generation. Hate it or Love it doesnt apologize for their reality, hate it or love it that's the life they chose, because of the cards that were dealt. Start From Scratch makes anyone who has tear ducts cry. This song pulls on every heartstring in the world. I am sure you get the point that this CD is in autorepeat and in every car. And it's not just because it's the West Coast it's because everyone has their own documentary.

Game shows he is not just a soldier, but a general by creating and being the CEO of *THE BLACKWALLSTREET*. Game plans on using this corporation not only for music but for all sorts of endeavors to give back to Compton and the place that gave life to him and his family and friends. Big FASE is the COO of the company the blackwallstreet, some calling him the Keyser Soze of the neighborhood, he is a quiet, brilliant strategic thinker, and gives Game a strong family foundation.. Game is set to win, because within their organization they are not only long time friends but they have brilliant minds like "The Negotiator" Phat Rat, Internet Specialist G-ride, Deal Maker D -Mack, Baron Davis (NBA sports) and countless others by his side. You won't know who is who some maybe dressed like gangsters, some with business suits who can speak 2-3 languages, but all of them having a skill that is unbelievable. Game has set the foundation by intelligent strategic planning, with bringing in proven leaders from outside his circle like Shemia Miller, dubbed as the Global International Business Consultant, having allies all over the world. The only unfortunate member not present about this movement is his longtime best friend Billboard. He was murdered before Game released his album and finally put his stamp on hip hop. He was lost to the streets like countless others due to gang violence, Game and The Black Wall Street will continue to carry his legacy. Unfortunately he will not be able to physically see how far Game has come and the others who grew up in his troubled town did, but his family will be able to benefit. The Blackwallstreet is set to do what the original Black Wall Street in Oklahoma was going to accomplish, because the leaders in the company are not apologizing for taking over. They have "warriors" some have brief cases, and some are said to have guns in those brief cases, but they aren't letting anyone penetrate and stop The Game, and the expansion of The Black Wall Street. They live for everything and die for nothing. That's their motto. Game, Big Fase, Phatrat, and The Black Wall Street are keeping everything family by having its base actually be on the block in Compton where his brother and others grew up. With his determination and creation of this organization, Game shows us its not the cards life deals you that matters, it's how you play the game. Now Game is poised to be the New Nigga Witta Attitude, perhaps he will do what Dr. Dre did when he found game; give back to the west coast and Compton. Like Dr. Dre, Game is poised to come back full circle.

Here is the press article:

"LONG BEACH, Calif. (AP) - Rapper Tray Deee, who formed the group Tha Eastsidaz with rappers Snoop Dogg and Goldie Loc, was sentenced to 12 years in prison Wednesday in connection with a 2003 shooting.
The rapper, whose real name is Tracy Lamar Davis, was sentenced in Superior Court after pleading no contest to shooting at an occupied vehicle, prosecutor Cynthia Barnes said.

Under a plea agreement, prosecutors dropped two charges f assault with a semiautomatic firearm and one count of possession of a firearm.

Davis allegedly shot at two people in a car but nobody was injured.
"

The DubCNN staff would like to send out their support to Tray Deee and his family & friends. We will keep you updated on any happenings concerning this situation.

Keep your head up Tray...

news 1109215756 - December 31, 1969 By : "The story of the legend who inspired the biggest name in rap."

On March 8, 2005, Vision Plant Pictures, in association with Czar Entertainment, will release The Infamous Times - Volume I: The Original 50 Cent on DVD to eager home entertainment audiences everywhere. A powerful music-driven video magazine chronicling the nation’s most reputed street figures, notorious neighborhoods and the alluring frills of the fast life, this explicit exposé goes behind the stereotypes typically associated with legendary hustlers to uncover the true tales of pain and betrayal that all too often destroys their lives and, most times, finds them dead or in jail. Volume one of The Infamous Times has already shipped platinum to major retail outlets throughout the U.S. and is on pace to quickly become one of the best selling urban DVD’s to date.

Running 120 minutes, the main feature of this landmark series tells the true story of Kelvin “50 Cent” Martin, a cold-blooded crook who, armed with an arsenal of weapons, robbed, killed and extorted many of Brooklyn’s biggest hustlers at the height of New York’s brutal crack cocaine epidemic and from whom the multi-platinum rap superstar, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, borrowed his moniker. This is the true story of the legend who inspired the biggest name in rap.

Hosted by venerated columnist, actor and convicted felon, Bonz Malone, the subject matter echoes the insight, candid perspective and journalistic intensity of esteemed investigative programs like Dateline NBC and 20/20. Likewise, The Infamous Times is poised to be one of the preeminent urban DVD series of the decade, revolutionizing the genre with its blend of in depth coverage accompanied by a hard-driving soundtrack. Superbly helmed by pioneering video director, Froi Cuesta and the brainchild of acclaimed music impresario, Jimmy Henchmen, along with entertainment industry veterans, Tone Boots and Griff, the series aims to enlighten “at-risk” youth on the hazards of street life as it contrasts the glamorization of criminal behavior that is all too common in rap music and mainstream film and television nowadays.

We’re taking them all to task…politicians, parents, the young generation,” says series co-creator Tone Boots, who is also the Producer of MTV’s Direct Effect. “This story is very dear and close to me because I knew the original Fifty-Cent,” adds Jimmy Henchmen, the project’s Executive Producer and manager of platinum recording artists such as The Game (Aftermath/G-Unit), Mario Winans (Bad Boy) and Black Rob (Bad Boy). “I’m honored to tell a story like this that influenced the biggest name in rap as we know it today.

In addition to the true story of the original 50 Cent featured in The “G” Chronicle segment of the DVD, the Danger Zone profiles the Brownsville section of Brooklyn and uncovers the influx of the LA-based ‘Bloods’ street gang that has besieged the neighborhood’s housing projects. In the Paper Dolls segment of The Infamous Times their cameras go behind-the-scenes of one of the most popular gentlemen’s clubs in the country, Sue’s Rendezvous – made famous in the lyrics of many rap artists over the past few years. Also, the DVD’s bonus content includes an exclusive interview with Jimmy Henchmen; a profile on celebrity jewelers from Manhattan’s famed ‘Diamond District;’ and a photo gallery featuring the work of award winning photographer Jamel Shabazz – author of the celebrated photo essay, Back in the Days.

news 1109658055 - December 31, 1969 By : A member of 50 Cent's crew was wounded in a shooting at New York's Hot 97 Monday night (February 28) just as 50 Cent was making an appearance at the radio station to announce that the Game had been booted from the G-Unit.

Police said a man in his 20s from Los Angeles was shot in the left leg during an altercation at the station and was taken to St. Vincent's Hospital. The injury was not serious, and the victim is expected to fully recover.

An NYPD spokesperson offered no additional details about the incident, and initial reports differ as to whether the young man was affiliated with 50 and his entourage. New York's FOX affiliate reports that the rapper and his crew were escorted from the building via alternate exits following the shooting and escaped harm.

The shooting occurred while 50 Cent was appearing on Funkmaster Flex's radio show, where he told the DJ that the Game had been excommunicated from G-Unit because he feels the Compton rapper isn't loyal.

50 told Flex he was disappointed with comments Game made on the station Saturday night, when the West Coast MC revealed he would not be getting involved in the beefs 50 is stirring up with "Piggy Bank."

50 also said Game should stop saying "G-Unit." "He thinks he's doing me a favor when he says that."

During his conversation with Flex, 50 claimed Interscope was going to drop the Game until 50 stepped in and got involved with The Documentary. 50 also insisted that he's making more money off The Documentary than Game is, and that he wrote more choruses than he's credited for.

Believe it or not, Game was on Hot 97 earlier in the evening, talking to host Angie Martinez. When listeners called in to ask about his and 50's problems, Game simply said he was going to continue to make "good music." Two nights prior, Game had said on-air that he and 50 did not have to be friends as long as they worked toward that same common goal: making good music.

news 1114472613 - December 31, 1969 By : Thanks to Kay9ine's manager for the update on the situation. Kay9ine just woke up out of coma. He was shot twice in his back, and once in his head. The bullet is still lodged in his head, however he is looking for a full recovery.

His mother is also in stable condition and is being released from hospital soon. The sad news however is that his cousin, didn't make it, he died the same night, after being shot several times.

As we reported, 9ine was carjacked and kidnapped by 4 unknown men outside of Redlands. The gunmen proceeded to force 9ine to go to his home, which they robbed. The mother and cousin were in the house, and were shot cold heartedly. The mother however, still managed to call 9-1-1, 9ine was found around 3:30am.


Here goes the full police article:

"REDLANDS - Police on Sunday identified a gang member as the triggerman in the weekend home invasion robbery in which a Redlands man was killed and a grandmother was wounded.

Michael Lamar Rose, 23, also known as "Li'l 9", is a member of the Harlem Crips gang of Los Angeles County and is likely armed and dangerous, police said.

Rose, who is 5 feet, 9 inches tall, weighs 200 pounds and has black hair and brown eyes, is an acquaintance of Michael Denmon, 32, who was kidnapped from the house where Gerald Brooks Jr., 28, was killed, police said.

The suspect's last known address is in Pomona, police spokesman Carl Baker said, and his gang territory is thought to extend from Compton to Pomona.

"We're making an all-out effort and doing what we need to do to solve (the killing),' Baker said at a news conference Sunday evening. "We're combing Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Riverside counties.'

Meanwhile, Peggy Faulkner, who was also wounded in the home-invasion robbery, and Denmon remained at hospitals where police have taken steps to ensure their safety.

Faulkner, 52, who was shot at 2 a.m. Saturday in her house in the 100 block of West Delaware Avenue, was reported in stable condition at Loma Linda University Medical Center. For her protection, police have her hospitalized under an assumed name.

"They're being restrictive about who can see them (the victims) because they're afraid of repercussions,' said neighbor William Peck, 54.

Faulkner is expected to be released today, said neighbor Trina Collins. Neighbors said she probably won't return to the house and will probably stay with her brother elsewhere.

Denmon is being treated at UC Irvine Medical Center. His condition was unavailable.

The violence, which stunned the neighborhood, began with Denmon being carjacked outside of Redlands, police said.

Next, Denmon was forced to go to his Delaware Avenue home where the house was robbed, and Brooks, who neighbors say is related to the other victims, was killed.

Faulkner was shot and the suspects took her car from the house where her seven grandchildren slept. She was able to call 9-1-1.

Police said Denmon was forced to go with Rose and three other men who took Faulkner's champagne-colored 1990s Chrysler 300. Fullerton police found Denmon at 3:30 a.m. Saturday. He suffered two gunshots to the back and one shot to the head, Peck said.

"I've never heard of something like this happening in Redlands,' Peck said. "That's more for areas like Los Angeles and Hollywood.'

Faulkner's car was discovered in an industrial area in Long Beach Saturday afternoon alongside Denmon's blue 2003 Land Rover which was also taken.

Both vehicles were towed back to Redlands on Sunday and are being processed by the Redlands Police Department forensics team for evidence, Baker said.

The victim's neighbors are trying to organize a car wash and other fund-raisers to help pay for Brooks' funeral costs, Collins said.

Saturday's killing was the first homicide in Redlands this year. There have been 14 murders in the city since 1988 and in each case, the suspect was arrested or is currently awaiting trial, Baker said.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective John Moore at (909) 798-7642 or Detective Chris Catren at (909) 798- 7580 or the Redlands Police Department at (909) 798-7681.

news 1116300780 - December 31, 1969 By : DJ Warrior, DJ Strong, Kurupt and Y.A start West Coast Resurrection with Cali Untouchable Radio Pt. 5: Y.A featuring Roscoe, Tristar, Jayo Felony, Yukmouth, Gail Gotti, and many more!!!

Recently with the reuniting of Tha Dogg Pound (Snoop Dogg, Daz, and Kurupt) and a successful show at Club Soho in downtown Los Angeles, Kurupt, his brother Roscoe, YA (Youth Authority), DJ Warrior, and DJ Strong release Cali Untouchable Radio Pt. 5: Y.A to the streets. Cali Untouchable Radio Pt. 5 debuts exclusive freestyles and songs by Y.A, Kurupt, Roscoe, Tristar, Jayo Felony, Yukmouth, Gail Gotti and more!!!

"If you are a real Dogg Pound fan, this Cali Untouchable project is for you" says DJ Warrior.

"You can't recreate this type of mixtape it is just impossible. Everything is so on point and there is so much depth to this mixtape it is more or less an album...Cali Untouchable style. You can listen to this 100 times and still pull things out of it. 6 months in the makings this mixtape has seen Kurupt at war with Tha Dogg Pound, Roscoe in a near fatal car accident, and finally the reuniting of one of the top 5 tightest rap groups Tha Dogg Pound! Worldwide this is the illest project out from the streets of the West Coast. I feel this is like a combination of Warrior's Outlaw Warriorz 1 and my Palm Trees & Gangstas 1. Its an artist album but a mixtape to the fullest. Get ready for the next Cali Untouchable project...." says DJ Strong.

Two months ago a west coast peace treaty put together by Steve Harvey and Snoop Dogg himself, called together all West Coast hip hop artists. Cali Untouchable DJs founders DJ Warrior and DJ Strong were two of three of the only DJ's selected to represent at the peace treaty. Since all problems are resolved, Kurupt has joined the "How the West Was Won" tour and has been freestyling with Game onstage every night since he joined the tour.

DJ Warrior adds "We're the most exclusive street DJ's for the West Coast. We're the pioneers of this Hip Hop West movement, period". Check your west coast network of online sites for exclusives and audio. Cali Untouchable Radio Pt. 5 is available at www.hiphopwest.com

news 1116473769 - December 31, 1969 By : Last Saturday morning, as you all know, Justo Faison, creator and founder of The Mixtape Awards, passed. Justo was one of the few REAL people in the Industry. He helped your favorite Mixtape DJ's get to where they are today. Mixtapes were accepted by Majors now and Justo played a big role in that. He will be missed and forever remembered as a pioneer in Hip Hop!

Here's a quote about Justo from legendary Beat Junkie DJ Rhettmatic:

"I met Justo back in 97 when he was still working at Atlantic. He was always cool whenever we ran into each other at some convention. Even to this day, he was always cool. I haven't seen Justo for almost 7 years, until I ran into him at a gig in Los Angeles and he gave me a hug. He even told me that he was following my career with the Beat Junkies; I was even surprised that he actually kept up. He even offered my crew to actually submit mixtapes to his Mixtape Awards, but I joked with him about that we really didn't fit into his scheme of things and thanked him for the love anyways......He was a good man and he definitely rep the DJs. His passing will definitely be a hard void to fill."

Like I had stated earlier when I reported his untimely death, I had the pleasure of meeting Justo out here in L.A. Thanks to my partner Big Junior of
RapTalk.net here are some exclusive Pictures from the King Magazine party held at the HighLands in Hollywood, as well as the Avila Brothers Release party, also in Hollywood.
