Where @LadyBlogga will be ... ANARCH EIGHTY PRESENTS

Anarch Eighty is making it easier for the people to know what great music is. As this Hip-Hop game continues to turn, my job is to keep you updated.

On Tuesday June 1st the long awaited releases of Homeboy Sandman “The Good Sun” and Spec Boogie “Introspective” will be jointly celebrated at the legendary SOB’s in N.Y.C. Hosted by Hip-Hop head himself, Hot 97’s Peter Rosenberg and WBAI’s TastyKeish, this promises to be an awesome way to start the summer. Aside from the guests of honor, I know a few other lyricists will be in attendance and I am sure they will bless the stage as well.

Not being new to the scene, Homeboy Sandman and Spec Boogie have been around for awhile and as this game evolves they are being pushed to the forefront. I knew the voice. I knew the name. But my first live encounter with Homeboy Sandman was at SouthPaw last Winter. He was hosting an event and occasionally spit in between the sets. I had heard songs, never saw the man behind the lyrics perform. Tight lyrics, variable style and tough beats are what put him ahead of most and better than the rest. Spec Boogie has worked with the likes of Aeon, featuring Von Pea, Elucid, Che Grand amongst others. I have yet to bear witness to a live Spec Boogie but I am looking forward to seeing him perform his effortless lyrics over smooth beats. Seeing it live is like the icing on the cake. Once you do, you’re sold.

Advanced Tickets are being sold online and if you plan on coming I suggest you cop your tickets NOW.

Listen To This: DJ Morpheus "The Acid Jazz Guitarist"

Bottom line: this dude is dope. DJ Morpheus, better known as The Acid Jazz Guitarist, has a knack for creating euphonious lines of music over jazz records. I've been in contact with this guy over the last week or so and he tells me he's anticipating his reemergence into the music scene. His story is similar to others who have dealt with the bureaucracy of the music business, but luckily he made it out fairly unscathed. As a result, DJ Morpheus has ditched the over indulged 'Big Guys' and instead uses the internet to share his music. Dope, right?

A comment left on his artist page says, "Great sounds Morpheus. Your artistry on the guitar is on par to the greats that you admire. Your sound is electrically charged and blended with ethereal riffs that sedates yet awakens brain activity in terms of intellectual thought processes, creativity and mellow vibes for the spirit." - Bluelaser

Now that's not something worth passing up, is it? Exactly.

A particular favorite of mine is "Lemme Put That Tip In" and two others I really enjoy are "Cosmic Triggers" and "Nuit's Love Ritual."

Check out his artist page and available downloads at Reverb Nation and support his music when he reintroduces himself to the game.

Listen To This: Anthony David

Image Credit: Reverb Nation

I'm not exactly sure what rock I was under to be able to miss this cat but Anthony David is not to be slept on. I was tooling through the internets to see if there were any artists worth their salt and boy did I find a little gem. He's a singer/songwriter right out of my hometown Atlanta, GA and his music has a GREAT vibe. There are three songs I want to share with you guys today: "Spittin Game" and "Words" featuring India.Arie (both live cuts) and "Cheatin Man" (a studio cut). Side note: I was going to try to get away with not including "Words" in the post, but it's too good of a song not to share.











Check him out on Reverb Nation and his official website Rolling Mojo. Enjoy.

Make sure to look out for two more posts today for some extra goodies.

Kanye West ft. Dwele "Power"

Lakers won last night. Alicia and Swizz announce their union and baby on the way. Yeah, things didn't look promising. While all those things are going down, Kanye drops new music on the planet and for a moment things look a little brighter. Yeah, I'm a Ye fan since day one (hahahaha). Anyway, enjoy Kanye West featuring Dwele "Power". Good ass job, Kanye.

From A Night At The Clowns' Table ... 50 Tyson

So........9pm rolls around and the fellas get on the conference. Khal, ThroatChopu aka Q, BeanPie aka Shaun and I are discussing 10 videos to list for Shaun's BeanPiePromotions.com site. We were looking for a bonus video, something we can kinda laugh at. Khal decides to hit us with this cat named 50 Tyson. I don't even know where to begin. The name? The speech? The flows? The delivery? The punchlines? Wow. I'm speechless besides the nonstop losses of breath due to the overwhelming laughter. Again, wow. See for yourself.

What I'm Watching ... Xzibit - "Phenom featuring Kurupt & 40 Glocc"

Ran into this on MySpace. Yeah, I still got a MySpace account and randomly check it. So what. Haha. Check out this new joint by Xzibit. Dude cut his braids off. I'm about to grow mine back. I like to do the opposite of what heads are doing. Haha.

Back before the 'Pimp My Ride' Days' Xzibit was regularly laying down killer verses with the likes of Em and Dre. Now "X to the Z" returns with a video for his new single "Phenom," the first single following the West Coast rapper's lengthy hiatus.
