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.)

What I'm Watching: Daley - "Alone Together" ft. Marsha Ambrosius

I know I'm 3 months late on this and I apologize but damn, this joint is smooth as hell. I'm super brand new to Daley and very familiar of Marsha and all I can say is they make an incredible pair on this track. Definitely more of my kind of R&B here. Apparently, he only has this one video out but I'm keeping an ear and eye out for this cat. Extremely dope.

Writer's Guild (Mr. Miranda, MC Pennywise, RoQy TyRaiD, Random) - "Armed"

Arizona's Avengers on the mic? Fantastic Four? Fearsome Foursome? Either way, these cats go off on this track produced by Lifted of G.O.O.D Music/The New FOs. For a good 5 minutes, they attack the mic with a focused intensity that results in a work of wonder for "Armed". Hear for yourself.
