Download ... The Amber Rose Freestyles (Produced by @judahonthebeat)

Don't let the 35 track list overwhelm you. "The Amber Rose Freestyles" is basically eight tracks broken down into verses from a gang of emcees. It's an interesting concept and well worth the listen. I dig it.

Everyone had something to say about this....so they put it in a verse.

After several months of receiving freestyle submissions from emcees located around the world, the Amber Rose Instrumental(s) freestyle project is fully dressed, putting words to the now infamous playland of music from JUDAH, the producer whose "beats sounds so....."

Presented by JUDAH x Dub MD x Kevin Nottingham, mixed by DJ Dublee. The mixtape boasts artists from all over the globe including Tabi Bonney, Dominique Larue, Van T (Mexico) and Beaufonic (Australia). Other locales include Texas, North Carolina, California, and of course the DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia).

This episode features Nice and Smooth, Chubb Rock, Slick Rick, LL Cool J, Biz Markie, Digital Underground, Naughty by Nature, Fu-Schnickens, Rob Base and DJ EZ Rock, A Tribe Called Quest, Redman, MC Lyte, Main Source, Black Moon, De La Soul and Queen Latifah.

You remember Christmas morning when you were younger? Back when maybe you believed in Santa Claus? Back when you didn't know what to expect under the Christmas tree? Yeah, that's the feeling we're going for with this episode. We thought about listing the tracklist but opted to just tell you which artists are featured and let every track be a surprise. We hope when every track drops, you feel that "ooooooooooooooooo" come on, followed by "this is my shit!"

Enjoy because this episode is truly for real fans of Hip-Hop!

Check It ... Jeff Spec - "Mic Bully featuring Shane Eli"

Here's another joint by Jeff Spec with Mic Bully. And this time, he enlisted the work of Shane Eli to come through and do what they do best. I thought his 11 track "Sneakerboxxx" was pretty dope for someone who just happen to hit me up out the blue on Twitter. If you liked that, you'll feel the same about this track.

Check It ... Copywrite "Last Laugh" (produced by Khrysis)

My apologies. I know I'm late on posting this. Got it in the email a little while back and I'm still trying to play catch up. Here's a track by Copywrite that I'm digging. Beat hits hard, thanks to Khrysis on the boards with the heat. Haha. But...judge for yourself.


Copywrite "Last Laugh" (produced by Khrysis)

In 2002 Copywrite released his debut album T.H.E. High Exhaulted that was columniation of a partnership with producer RJD2. Besides the album being poorly promoted, it gained notoriety and quickly became a classic. Garnering great reviews and respect from fans and other artists alike the album was in high demand. Due to inept planning and lack of forethought on the label’s (Eastern Conference Records) behalf the album quickly became unavailable and out of print. Copywrite who continued to earn high praise from critics and fans was busy working on new projects. The relationship between Copywrite and Eastern Conference completely fell apart and the true victim was T.H.E. High Exhaulted album. With no new pressings and copies being resold for high prices on EBay and Amazon, the time was right for a release.

Man Bites Dog Records today announced the release of T.H.E High Exhaulted 8th Anniversary Edition, the out-of-print and rare 2002 album from Copywrite. First released in 2002 on the label Easter Conference Records, the critically acclaimed and much sought after album is available June 1st 2010 at most fine retailers worldwide.

Copywrite who is always the perfectionist, took it upon himself to record new material to add to this 8th Anniversary Edition. Between releasing his latest EP (Ultrasound The Rebirth) in January and his new opus The Life and Times of Peter Nelson due in Fall 2010, Copywrite made the time to add 7-new songs. Bridging the gap between the younger battle hungry MC of the original T.H.E. High Exhaulted release and the now older, wiser, and more talented artist Copywrite has become today was important. With new producers such as Khrysis, Kount Fif, Jay Notes and Rob Stern helping to craft a different sound, Copywrite is once again free to show the world how truly impressive he can be.

Check It ... @Writtenhouse "Cloud City"

For me it was like these dudes came out of nowhere. Much like most of the dope music that from time to time finds it's way into our inbox, the Philly crew is a breathe of fresh air. I'm happy they hit me up with the introductory email. A well polished email I might add, that took into account our time and asked for honest feedback. It was the approach I know many bloggers appreciate. It wasn't filled with cap locked sentences or gibberish. It was precise and to the point. Their music spoke for them in volumes. Writtenhouse is dope. Check out "Cloud City" from the crew. You can also peep their live video below, which is also pretty dope.

"Cloud City"


Upcoming shows
TLA in Philly w/ Kidz in the Hall (7/15)
NYC at Santos Party House w/ Reef the Lost Cauze (7/16)


Writtenhouse Live At Beatbox

Check It ... OC Supreme's 3 Day Hip-Hop Weekend

I'm a week and some change late on this post but that's what happens when life occurs. Haha. I had a busy 3 day weekend involving some Hip-Hop heads I personally know, some I don't. Lots of pictures were taken and I put them together in different setups for you to see. Hope you enjoy.



Friday: Enter The Cipher Presents ... The Baby Bus Benefit

This night's Enter The Cipher event was dedicated to The Baby Bus Benefit (Fundraiser for Danny "Baby Bus" Holt). Live performances by Dina Brass, Rising Sun Quest, Expertiz, Roc Doogie of Phenetiks, Workforce, Sketch Tha Cataclysm, and Breez Evahflowin filled the night's schedule and each and every performer ripped the stage. The place was packed with friends and family as well as random supporters of the cause and music. Wristbands were sold to further help the fight for cancer and many people bought hands full. The night turned out very successful and Hip-Hop definitely represented. It was great to see the genre come through for a cause like this.

Saturday: Westhill High School Hosts 4th Annual Hip-Hop Summit

Westhill High School Hosts 4th Annual Hip-Hop Summit held on May 22nd. Event featured workshops, open forum and live performances.

The 4th Annual Hip-Hop Summit was held on Saturday, May 22 at Westhill High School in Stamford, CT. The Summit was being coordinated by the Connecticut-based Hip-Hop artist collective Ant Farm Affiliates in conjunction with the Stamford Public Schools. The event began at 12:30 pm with a welcome session and an artist meet-and-greet. That was followed by workshops that began at 1 pm, an open forum discussion at 4 pm, a skills competition beginning at 5 pm, and a concert at 6 pm.


The Hip-Hop Summit is an annual tradition at Westhill High School, celebrating the culture and history of Hip-Hop and addressing the issues and concerns that teens face everyday. Throughout the day, students and attendees will have the opportunity to attend hands-on workshops on deejaying, break-dancing, music production, making and distributing an album, podcasting, and Hip-Hop as a global movement.

Presenters included Connecticut's original hip hop Deejay Terrible T, Indiefeed Podcasting Host and Music Director Dirt E. Dutch, Hip-Hop activist and Freedom Bee Project founder Courage2Change, b-boy and Flying Squirrel Productions founder Pat "Tricks" Hayes, and the entire Ant Farm Affiliates artist roster.


Students were invited to participate in the Hip-Hop skills competition and to perform during the concert portion of the program from 6-9 pm.

Sunday: "Hip Hop for Racial Harmony" Benefit Show
Immortal Technique headlined this benefit show that included guests Diabolic, Chris Webby, Offramp, Guy Dupont - "ILO Productions", Rising Sun Quest, Hurrikane, and Chef Luv.

It was a day and night of Hip-Hop and charity. Good music for a great cause. This event was held on May 23rd at Cheshire Park in Cheshire, CT with proceeds directly benefiting the student-envisioned "Orphanage For Opportunity".

A plot of land in Pakistan is currently sitting quietly, unused up to this point. But, if some local students reach their goals, it will be transformed into a orphanage in the country's capital.

Students from Cheshire High School and founding members of the fundraising and awareness group ENOUGH are holding a benefit concert later this month, with the proceeds going to help create an orphanage in Islamabad, Pakistan. The "Orphanage for Opportunity" project was undertaken by members of ENOUGH and the concert, scheduled for May 23 at Cheshire Park, is a way to jump start their fundraising efforts. Since the group’s inception last year, it has held peace rallies, hosted speakers, and helped raise awareness about world issues. The group even rallied at Town Hall to support the education budget last month.

ENOUGH is an acronym for education, necessity, opportunity, understanding, giving, and helping. and all of the group's projects seemingly encompass the acronym. Mansoor Alam, a junior at CHS, said the concert is the starting point for the "Orphanage for Opportunity" project, and admitted that it was a big task to undertake.

Yet, the group, Alam believes, is prepared. (Story continues...)
