Project Blowed 10th Anniversary Reminder - December 28, 2004 By : SGV
 "Project Blowed what's the code/I been rockin' mics since I was 12 years old" - Aceyalone
The Project Blowed: Since 1994 The Project Blowed has been putting it down for Hip Hop. Open Mics, B-Boys, B-Girls, Good Hip Hop. Back in the late 80's there was The Goodlife Café in Leimert Park, which was an Open mic spot. No cussing was allowed and you were allowed to do one song. If you were wack, much like with the Apollo, you'd get booed. An enormous amount of people came up in the ranks there, such as Aceyalone, Kurupt, The Visionaries, Of Mexican Descent, Busdriver, Abstract Rude, Pigeon John, Dilated Peoples, among many others.
The Goodlife Cafe is something legendary in the History of L.A. Hip Hop. A few years later, it continued as the Project Blowed. Leimert Park and 43rd is the spot. Every Thursday night you can find it popping off. It's still a staple in the name of Los Angeles Hip Hop. Not only is it a weekly Open Mic, but it's also a crew. An amazing crew, at that. The members include Aceyalone & Freestyle Fellowship, Abstract Rude, 2Mex, Busdriver, C.V.E., Living Legends, Trendseta, Medusa, Hip Hop Clan, Volume 10 and many many more. Their extended family crazy, too. Dilated Peoples, Hieroglyphics, Pharcyde and Jurassic 5. to name a few, are all down with the Blowed.
So...If you're not familiar with this crew, you're about to be. Wednesday, December 29th, probably the last real dope show of 2004 and quite possibly the illest of the year is about to go down. In Celebration of the 10th Anniversary for the Project Blowed, damn near all of Los Angeles Hip Hop's best a brightest will be out to show their love. As you can see in the flyer, I posted to the left, the line up is already lookin' packed full of dope acts. The Q-Events Center in Hollywood has had some ill shows, but this might top them all. Expect lots of suprises and expect DubCNN in full effect reppin' and showin' our respect to one of the most important legacies in Hip Hop, period. Shouts to Badru, Non-Stop and the whole crew for showing DubCNN love and allowing us to be apart of this!
Be there and show the Blowed the love the deserve!

Yukmouth On Lil Flip's New Album - December 27, 2004 By : SGV
 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.

X-Mas In The Hood Review + Tons Of Pics - December 24, 2004 By : SGV
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!

 Oh my god. Now this is a real real real big one right here. The big homie Yash hooked up with the legendary soul artist James "D-Train" Williams of the group D Train for an exclusive video interview while D-Train was on tour in Sweden. He talked about his new album, his new single coming out, his new radio station he got, the most funny moment of his career and more.
This is a legendary artist, he influenced so many of todays artists, and if you go back and listen to his songs, you will recognize alot of sample that have been used, and just great songs in general.
So here it is for you, get the James "D-Train" Williams video interview below. Excuse the darkness of the video, as it was filmed inside the club. It gets better towards the end though.

Kokane Comin' Wit "Take It Back To The Clap" - December 14, 2004 By : Nima
 Kokane Is Back!!! The funkiest man on the coast is back cracking with a new underground record coming out called "Take It Back To The Clap". For those wondering, this is not the "Ghetto Gospel" album he talked about in our interview, but it's new material. The Gospel record is locked in the vaults and should be coming out after this one. I personally had the chance to listen to the Gospel record, and I have to say it's amazing. I wish I could post some clips for ya'll, cause it's really hot.
 However, let's get back to this album. It's coming out on Burnt Out Music/Street Life Records, and is entirely produced by Fingazz. For those who don't know about Fingazz, just know that he's probably the best white producer on the West Coast. The man got beats for days, and he got it cracking on the talk box too!
For those who have never heard him, check out the song below, from Down's album, featuring Kam & Suga Free. This is just an example of the type of production Fingazz brings to the table.
Down ft. Kam & Suga Free - Caliways (prod. by Fingazz)
We should be having audio from the "Take It Back To The Clap" up soon, along with interviews with Koka & Fingazz. The record is scheduled for a March release, hopefully it sticks! It's straight West Coast, baby! Lookout for much more from Kokane, as I linked him up with the Cali Untouchable crew... oh boy!Discuss This Topic

2Pac & Kurupt - Still Ballin (DJ Fatal Mix) - December 14, 2004 By : Nima
Looks like both of Kurupt's unreleased verses from the 2Pac track "Still Ballin'" are out now. Kurupt was replaced by Trick Daddy on the posthumous Pac release Better Dayz.
  A remix was released on a DJ Vlad mixtape which seemed to have one of Kurupt's OG versions. Now, a new DJ Fatal remix is out, and it has another additional verse and a different beat than the Vlad or Better Dayz one. It's not using the same accapella as on Better Dayz neither, as it has 'Pac shouting on Kurupt at the beginning of the song.
So check it out for yourself, and if anybody has more info, holla at me here.

Ground Up Ent Update [Audio] - December 13, 2004 By : Nima
  The homies over at Ground Up got some new heat they wanted me to let ya'll check out.
Ground Up Records is the newest and hottest label on the West Coast. It's home of Logic, Manson, E-Nuff, Scan, Swiss Cash and Juan Jones.
Ground Up was founded in October of 2003. It's the perfect name for the label considering that the CEO Donald Johnson ran his company operations from his Navy paycheck. He runs Ground Up Records like his mentors Damon Dash (Roc-a-Fella Records), Russell Simmons (DEF JAM), and Lyor Cohen (Warner Brothers). He studies his mentors blueprints for success and applies them to his record label. On top of running an up and coming record label he serves in the United States Navy, he is stationed in Ventura CA and has been in the Navy for 5 years.
Jason Strother is the Company General Manager and Don will always say “Jason is a genius and is smarter then I am on a lot of industry topics.” The first artist signed to Ground Up was Logic. The West is really thriving for an artist with Logic's style, charisma and lyrical prowess. Some of the West Coast hottest artists have reached out to record with him; artists like Knoc-Turnal, Spitfiya, Planet Asia, Tha Relatives, Techneic (Dynamis Certified) and many others have took notice to what’s going to be the biggest label and artist on the West Coast. Major labels have already showed interest in Ground Up and Logic such as Ballr Records, Def Jam (East) and Interscope Records. His album will be hitting the streets soon and is yet to be titled but is sure going to give the West an extra platinum plaque. Logic was signed with the now shutdown Rawkus Records when he was 18 years old and since has been ripping MC’s and amazing every A&R at every Major Label and now, teamed with Donald Johnson, he is set for stardom and is going to be a major part in the resurrection of the Left Coast. Ground Up will be Logic's home forever just like every other artist on Ground Up as every artist is real serious and committed to the Ground Up emblem. Logic states “If it wasn’t for Don getting me back rapping none of this that is happening and is going to happen in the future would be possible.”
The next MC’s that signed to Ground Up was Manson and Juan Jones. Jones is currently serving a bid in the California correctional facility in Taft California but will be out next year. Manson is a versatile rapper that started rapping when he was eleven years of age; him, Logic and Spitfiya (Next Up Interscope) formed a group named “Dot Com." Manson's voice tells a story like no other rapper that graced the mic before. His songs tells a story that will give you chills and before you get to cold he will have you dancing with his tongue spitting lyrics. Manson, just like all of the Ground Up artists, will go down in history in hip-hop. His album “The Gemini” is going to be slated for later on this year and is going to be one of the best albums ever on the West Coast.
The next artist on the roster was a CEO pick, and that is Scan. Scan caught the attention of Don while freestyling at the Spitfiya video shoot. It took six months for Don and Spitfiya to put a tap on the streets of Compton, Watts, Gardena, Inglewood and neighboring cities to find the mystery MC. Once found, Scan has not disappointed his label mates or even more importantly his hard to please label exec. He spits hard and his lyrics are off the charts. Scan brings to Ground Up raw lyrics layered on top of cleverness. He has worked with many top producers and his album is slated for later in the year.
E-Nuff is the official left hand of Ground Up. His voice, lyrics and delivery will make him one of the greatest MC’s ever to come out on the Left Coast. He's been rapping since he was nine years of age and has been improving on every bar. E-Nuff was brought to Don by Manson and Logic and has been amazing the CEO ever since his first bar. His album is under development and will be coming out next year.
Last by not least is Swizz Cash; he is the newest member of the Ground Up classic roster of MC’s. He was just recently released for jail and is excited to work with the label. He rapped side by side with the rest of the Dot Com family that consist of Logic, Manson and Spitfiya (Interscope). He'll bring the streets and the nightlife of the West Coast on wax and will keep you on your toes with his delivery and versatility.
The Ground Up roster is full of talent that is going to explode on the West Coast. Each of the artists are lyricist and the average age is only twenty one so Ground Up will be around for a long time to come.--Tha Schizo WWW.WESTSIDERAP.COM
I have four cuts for ya'll to check out below, so make sure you peep them, these cats got some serious heat!!
Logic - What It Do (ft. Spitfiya)
Scan - Let 'Em Go (ft. Logic & Spitfiya)
Logic - Sup Crip, Sup Blood
Manson - Wake Up

Grooveline Magazine’s Spring Bling Tour - December 11, 2004 By : Nima
The Grooveline Magazine College tour is designed to put the artists in touch with the collegiate buying market with minimal cost to the record company. We do this by combining the presence of celebrities along with sponsors such as Pepsi, Pro-Line hair care and Dada Foot Wear that gives the student a totally fun experience while we are on campus.
We are proposing a one week, seven city college tour, that will run from April 15th until the 22nd, 2005. The tour will act as a caravan of exposure for your up and coming acts who are looking to connect with an audience that’s likely to consume their projects. We will maximize the college market for your artists by putting them on campuses in a festive environment. We will set up an autograph session from 11 AM to 1PM in each school’s student union. During this time we will entertain students with games, giveaways and music. We will also invite local media (news, video show, magazines, and newspapers) to cover the event. We will spend the rest of the afternoon making scheduled appearances. Then we will return to the campus in the evening for a performance. In some cases we will perform on campus during lunch.
Past tour participants include David Banner (With Crooked Lettaz), Young Bloodz, C-Murder, Do Or Die, Mr. Short Khop, Beelow, Red Café, Messy Marv to name a few. The headliner will be announced in February.
Grooveline has put together an all inclusive tour that will provide for all the artist’s needs, while supplying the label with the manpower it needs to properly promote an artists.
Grooveline Magazine is offering the following package:
1. Provide transportation for four people per group. (45 ft, 50 passenger charter bus)
2. Provide two rooms per night in a three star hotel. (Holiday Inn, Ramada, Hilton)
3. Radio advertisement on college stations that will permit it. Commercials will go up one week prior to our arrival. If radio is not possible, we will seek out newspapers.
4. Promotional items: 3,000 CD samplers/ CD Rom with one song from each artist and a link to your website. And 5,000 8X11 flyers announcing the tour.
5. A publicist to set up interviews in each city.
