news How to Rap: The Art and Science of the Hip-Hop MC - By : Rud - January 30, 2010

It's been years in the planning and long in construction but Paul Edwards insightful and incredibly well crafted book is now in stores.

It was almost 5 years ago when Paul Edwards contacted Dubcnn with the idea he had to write a book focusing on the "Art & Science of the Hip-Hop MC" and asking for help in speaking to artists themselves to get their input. Years later and with more interviews than countless journalists will ever manage to secure Paul has finally released his epic read.


"How to Rap: The Art and Science of the Hip-Hop MC" is available now and was compiled from interviews with over 100 MCs, and featuring many West Coast artists. Highlights include – Shock G describing working with 2Pac and his writing processes, RBX on ghostwriting for Dr. Dre, Lady of Rage explaining how she comes up with flows and content, B-Real recalling how he came up with Cypress Hill’s biggest hits, Crooked I on writing lyrics down and using tape recorders, DJ Quik discussing being both an MC and a produce, E-40 on coming up with slang and rhythms and much more.

Other West Coast artists and groups interviewed include Souls of Mischief, The Pharcyde, Black Eyed Peas, Dilated Peoples, Tha Alkaholiks, Jurassic 5, Paris, Del the Funky Homosapien, Yukmouth, Glasses Malone Guerilla Black, Latyrx, MURS, Freestyle Fellowship, Omar Cruz, Pigeon John, Planet Asia, Spider Loc, The Federation, People Under the Stairs, and Zion I

It also breaks down lyrics from Snoop Dogg and The Game and includes a foreword by Kool G Rap.

This book has, like the artform itself, taken years to perfect and Dubcnn is proud of the part it played in helping this book come together and urge all our readers to support Paul Edwards by purchasing the book from Amazon or a locat bookstore. For more information check out HowToRap.com.

news Little Brother Announce New LP "LeftBack" - By : LilJay - January 26, 2010

Favorites of fans and critics alike, Little Brother, the North Carolina duo of Phonte and Rapper Big Pooh, is proud to finally confirm the release of an album people have been waiting on for years. "LeftBack", which will be the fourth album of Little Brother’s illustrious career, will be available April 20th via Hall Of Justus.

Little Brother members Phonte and Rapper Big Pooh worked through several versions of the album before locking in the final version of "LeftBack". Close followers of Little Brother may already be familiar with the "LeftBack" title, however, any previously held notions of this album being an EP should be dismissed. Little Brother opted to scrap the EP concept and instead, crafted an album's worth of material for those who have been waiting patiently for new content. "I didn't want our last record to be a bunch of second-rate material," says Phonte. "I wanted to walk away from Little Brother knowing that I gave our fans all that I had to give, and said everything I wanted to say. With "LeftBack", I've done that."

Continuing the tradition they set with the critically acclaimed "GetBack", Big Pooh and Phonte have enlisted multiple producers for "LeftBack", both from within and outside of the Justus League camp. Producers for this album include frequent collaborator Khrysis and GetBack producers Denaun Porter and Zo!, as well as efforts from Symbolyc One and first time Little Brother contributors, J. Bizness, and King Karnov.

In addition to production, Khyrsis will also be contributing guest vocals on the album. Joining the North Carolina producer/MC are Torae, Truck North, Jozeemo and fellow Justus League MC's Chaundon and Median. Resident crooner Darien Brockington and songstress Yahzarah also supply vocals on the album.

Despite Little Brother's dominating presence in the hip-hop world since the 2003 release of "The Listening", "LeftBack" will mark the duo's first album with a true multi-media experience. Accompanying "LeftBack" will be four official music videos, all shot and directed by Matt Koza, known for his previous work with Foreign Exchange, Rapper Big Pooh, Kam Moye, RJD2, and more. While not customary for a Little Brother release – the group has had only one previous official video, for "The Minstrel Show"'s "Lovin' It" – with "LeftBack", Little Brother is excited to offer loyal supporters a long-desired visual take on the group's music. Says Big Pooh, "Three albums, three mixtapes, one video. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense in this day and age. We have always lacked in the visual department, and I think it will be refreshing to finally offer the people those visuals."

Building on the album's multi-media offerings, the initial pressing of "LeftBack" will also feature a limited edition DVD full of exclusive bonus material. Compiled in a documentary format, the bonus DVD will include recent tour footage, as well as exclusive Little Brother footage shot and archived throughout their career. For fans that miss the initial run, a subsequent DVD-only release will also include all official music videos from "LeftBack".

Fans can expect further announcements from Little Brother, including tour info and other interesting developments on "LeftBack"'s road to the release.

Cold 187um and KMG take us on a candid journey through their career, citing the realities, the pains, but most importantly - the reasons why they single-handedly changed the soundscape of westcoast music.

They offer raw accounts of such sensitive topics as the passing of Eazy E, Suge Knight, Dr. Dre, The Chronic and of course their brand-new album, set for release this summer. These guys are written in the history books of hip-hop, but only get a paragraph when they deserve their own page; hopefully, this interview will help to increase people's awareness.

Also on this gigantic show:

Wu Tang Clan's voice of reason, the GZA, takes time out to talk about his new albums, the importance of natural creation and his new books. Never one to be flustered by the conventions of modern industry politics and pressures, GZA is as methodical and blunt as his vocal stylings, as we talk the future of the Wu Tang Clan in 2010. Is there a new full group album on the way? Listen and find out.

Allah Mathematics is working on the The New Wu (Ghost/Rae/Meth) album and joins us full of optimism and anticipation for what lies ahead for the Wu Tang collective. He reveals more details about The New Wu album, including producers and expected features and even sends us an exclusive never-before-heard track that he has produced. Essential listening for all Wu Tang fans worldwide.

Strong Arm Steady are in jubilant moods, as Krondon and Phil Da Agony welcome in 2010 with a full discussion of their new Madlib-produced opus, In Search Of Stoney Jackson. Krondon also delivers exclusive news regarding himself and Brother Ali and all in all, these guys cement their name as some of the most dedicated and important artists in our scene.

Ty Fyffe has produced some of the most popular rap/hip hop records of our generation. From Canibus to LL Cool J, this man has been behind the boards on chart hits,underground gems and even classic old school tracks that helped mold future generations. But has he been recognised correctly? Listen in as it all unfolds.

Presto is one of the finest emcees that you will find. Canibus thinks so much of him, he featured him on his new album and formed a group with Presto at the forefront. He joins us on the show to introduce himself to a new audience and cement his status and popularity with all those hip hop heads who already know his unique ability. Expect much more from Presto and Conspiracy Worldwide Radio in 2010.

news Return Of The Wu & Friends Album Announced - By : Mil - January 12, 2010

Since their debut album, 1993's Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), Wu-Tang has become synonymous with gritty, direct lyrics and beats that draw from classic soul, horn-blasted funk, cinematic curios, and dirty guitar licks (among many others.) With each successive album, the group solidifies their hold on hip-hop, watching over the years as rappers, trends and ephemeral styles come and go and become musical footnotes in the game.

As devoted fans clamor and salivate for anything Wu-related, Gold Dust & Nature Sounds are proud to announce the release of Return of the Wu & Friends, produced and compiled by Wu-Tang Clan producer/DJ Mathematics and including some exclusive tracks, lost gems and old time favorites featuring all nine emcees.

The 16 tracks featured on Return of the Wu & Friends were compiled from songs recorded during the group's critically acclaimed 2000 album The W through 2008, including exclusive tracks like "Steppin 2 Me" featuring GZA, Inspectah Deck and Masta Killa. The producer also offers a slew of new remixes, including "Respect Mine" and "Clap". On the former, featuring Raekwon, Method Man and Cappadonna, the sprightly piano loop found on the original (from Mathematics' 2003 solo album Love, Hell or Right) gets flipped into a slower, more ominous track anchored by a funky slap bass line.

On Return of the Wu & Friends, every member gets their chance to shine, backed by Mathematics' acute ability to perfectly match each member's cadence and tone to the respective beat. Slower, more soulful tracks like "Da Way We Were" and "Strawberries & Cream" are balanced with classic Wu funk like "Iron God Chamber" and "It's What It Is" (the latter the new superhero anthem for the 21st century.) For anyone fiending for more Wu classics, Return of the Wu & Friends offers up an album's worth of tracks sure to fill the need for Wu bangers.

Below we have the song "Clap 2010" from the project as well as the tracklising.

Wu-Tang Clan - Clap 2010

01) Wu-Tang Clan feat. Raekwon, Ghostface, Method Man, U-God- "Clap 2010"
02) Wu-Tang Clan- "Respect 2010"

news Slept On: The Grouch - Allready - By : LilJay - January 11, 2010

I love going back and re-discover slept-on albums that were released inbetween a bunch of other crap that came out about the same time. One of them (not from the crap department) is The Grouch's "Three Eyes Off The Time". The Living Legends rapper released his latest solo effort back in december, taking a more conscious route this time over the solid production by DJ Fresh.

A personal favorite of mine is the bonus cut called "Allready" featuring Fashawn and Mistah F.A.B. with a classic Mike Tyson segment on the intro. The song was obviously recorded before they jumped on their "How the Grouch Stole Christmas" tour.

news Georgia Anne Muldrow & Declaime Ready New Project - By : LilJay - January 9, 2010

Inglewood's Georgia Anne Muldrow and Declaime (aka Dudley Perkins) are getting ready to release their new joint project "SomeOthaShip" digitally February 16th, followed by the physical release a week later.

The uplifting lead single "Endure", which also features M.E.D. and Rapper Big Pooh, was actually released a while ago and in different versions. But it's definitely worth it to bring it back up just in time for the full length project alone for the fact that they offer some really dope music.

The positive vibes are inspired in part by Georgia who says that the lyrics help pull her out of the past "and into a new and improved being that is ready to act in the liberation of [her] people through music." As the lyrics end, the song endures for a full minute in a meditative instrumental state.

We also have a new remix of "Endure", which has already been remixed by producers such as Oh No, Oddisee and Apollo Brown. This time, Nick Tha 1Da gets behind the boards and does the original its justice.

news Bishop Lamont: A Free Agent - By : LilJay - January 9, 2010

Every 6 months rumors made the rounds, now Bishop Lamont confirmed that he is no longer signed to Aftermath. After dropping hit singles like "Grow Up" and "Hallelujah", the label failed to follow up with the highly anticipated album "The Reformation" or even shoot a video. "After 5 years of sitting there, it becomes like my album is "Detox". Like, when is it coming? I can't afford that kind of situation" Bishop said in an interview on the All Out Show on Shade 45.

We'll have to wait and see what the future holds for the Carson native, but this can only be a good thing from a fans perspective. Bishop sure ain't gonna record another 700 songs and release none of them.....

Hear a segment from the interview by clicking the link:

Bishop Lamont on Shade 45 - Speaks About Leaving Aftermath

And while we're at it: Bishop later appeared on Whoo Kid's show and let loose a new laid back cut called "Yank". Keep 'em coming in Bishop!
