Slaughterhouse w/ guests Duece Bug and more (Pics & Vids)

Slaughterhouse came through CT once again but after a longer time in the industry, folks must have been a lot more hip to who they were because the place was packed as hell. Wall to wall fans lined up to see these four lyrical monsters do what they're known to do on the mic. Their personalities on Twitter and their video blogs, which is up to number 6 now, add a lot to who these guys are which in turn brings more fans to the show. But let's not forget, the homies Duece Bug, Chuck Nickels, and White Cheddar helped get the night started. With their energetic stage presence, these cats spit lyrics after lyrics while using practically every inch of the stage to liven up the crowd. Overall, it was a dope ass night. You could feel the intensity in the air and that Hip-Hop was definitely in the building. If you missed it or want to relive it, check these photos and videos out. Shoutout to my friend E for helping me shoot some of the show. Also, peep our Facebook page for even more photos. (Link on the right.)

Poison Pen, Chino XL, and Immortal Technique at Toad's Place (Pics & Vids)

If you missed the Immortal Technique and Chino XL show at Toad's, you can check out the photos and video here. That night was explosive with those two on stage and host Poison Pen added to the excitement of the night. Peep it.

Check It ... Mindz-I Ent. presents FUZEONFEST 2011 ft KRS-One, Mr. Lif, Duece Bug, Jacobi Wichita and more. (Photos)

It was an exciting night brought to you by the folks over at Mindz-I Entertainment. Seems like every show they present, it gets bigger and bigger. This time wasn't any different when they hosted a bunch of rock and Hip-Hop acts at Toad's Place. As you can see from the flyer and the photos, it was a wild and dope night.

The show started at 5:30pm on that Sunday and didn't end till around 1:30 in the morning. When I tell you that I was beat, trust me and know that that's an understatement. The night turned out great with all the music each act performed as well as the breakers in the audience. It was pretty dope to see artists I know such as DJ Mo Niklz, Duece Bug, Chuck Nickles, Blacastan and Pruven on the same stage as Mr. Lif and the legendary KRS-One and perform along with Mr. Lif even. Apathy, a really talented MC out of CT and affiliated with the Demigodz, hosted the evening and got to enjoy it from the sidelines.

With so much to recall, I figured I'd let the photos tell the story. You know The Mad Bloggers had to be there and I didn't let off with the camera work either. So here's a bunch of pics you can take a look through and see what you missed if you didn't go or reminisce on the night if you were there. Check it.

Check It ... Lauryn Hill at Toad's Place (Pics and Vids)

Soon as I found out that Lauryn Hill was coming through to perform around my area, I had to be on it for several reasons. I didn't know what to expect from the show and from Ms. Hill but was down to see for myself. Having to wait 3 hours for her to get on stage from what supposed to be a 9pm show start and dropping $50 on a ticket, I wasn't feeling too good about what I thought was to come. After hours of waiting in a packed spot, antsy, agitated, cramped, her band members started filling the stage. I figured then she had to show up and that she was late. Her DJ even had stated earlier in the night that she was running late due to a fire in a hotel or something. Don't take my word for it because it was hard to hear when he gave the explanation.

Finally, after about another half hour of her band setting up she was spotted. Crowd went bananas. Song after song she performed her hits with minimal stops and maximum energy. It was hard to hear some of her singing and therefore hard to figure out what songs she was performing, but overall it was a decent show. But, I think that's enough about me trying to describe it with my words. Check out the videos by clicking READ MORE to view them and see for yourself. Enjoy.

Check It ... Duck Down Tour at Toad's Place (@DuckDownRecords)

Finally hitting you with the visuals (and live footage) of the Duck Down Tour that stopped at Toad's Place in New Haven, CT. This show was so damn dope. Adrenaline was rushing, crowd was nonstop loud, everyone was hyped. If you get a chance to see these heads rock, I suggest you go. 15 Year Anniversary Tour and they did not disappoint. Real dope Hip-Hop was definitely representing this night. My bad for being a few days late with this. Check the pictures and videos by clicking the Read More...

Check It ... Brother Ali, Fashawn & BK-One "Breakin' Dawn Tour" at Toad's Place

Got to check out Brother Ali with special guest Fashawn and BK-One on the turntables at Toad's Place Wednesday the 16th. As hard as it is to drag my ass to a show 45 minutes away on a weekday, it's even much more difficult knowing if I didn't go, I would miss a dope Hip-Hop show (party, according to Brother Ali) like they gave. I was hyped. So was the crowd. I'll apologize now for the lack of pictures I took. Had technical difficulties in the form of some dead, bitch ass batteries. Haha. Anyways, check out the videos.

















Make sure you get their albums:
Brother Ali - Us and Fashawn - Boy Meets World!
