Through many channels and connections, we here at BC tend to get backstage access to certain events. One of these was the Kids In The Hall-headlined concert sponsored by our blogging brethren Uristocrat. We got a chance to hang out with some our friends in the Philly music scene Sock and Asaad, two participants in the Babylon Cartel Battlegrounds*, and I got a chance to rap to emerging artist Stalley. My dude was cool peoples, and definitely put on for his area code in the 330. To all our Ohio supporters, know you got a good one riding for you guys. Be on the lookout for a Babylon Cartel X Stalley collab in the very near future (fall, maybe? #EvilVillanLaugh). Enough talk, now you can listen.
*This will get a seperate post, but for all of those interested in participating in the next Battlegrounds, email me as soon as possible with some of your material and contact info. I’d like to get this done as soon as possible, and I was made aware of new people trying to get involved. Check our Contact Us page for my email address.
Atlantic Records have decided to put the long-awaited album “The Lasers” on hold until further notice. The Petition was started by Richard Barker, in hopes of getting back to Atlantic Records of how Lupe’s fan feel about the album releasing soon. Lupe is my favorite artist, his music is so diverse and is REAL hip-hop! This album has been anticipated for over a year now, although he said this would be last one, still. So far signatures have reached to over 8,700 click here to sign!
Cory and I decided to go through a walk in the city and capture still images of the day. The following pictures are what we saw on our travels
look for more of these post in the future. Photography is becoming my second hobby next to spinning on the 1’s & 2’s , I hope you guys enjoy these pictures as much as I did taking them.
(For some reason I look scared and surprised in these pictures. ) This week has been beyond hectic, I got the chance to sit down with J.Cole and ask him *gasp* three questions. Sorry for the sarcasm but that was all I was allowed. In a couple days I will post the video , but for now u can basque in the ambiance of my charming surprised looks or you can go over to ANMLHSE and view the rest of the pictures of the Heineken event that I badgered you guys about over the past two weeks. Sucks to be you if you didn’t attend , we had a ball.
Japanese Cartoon is new musical endeavor from Lupe Fiasco which brings forth an eclectic blend of rock, punk and electronica. The band is made up of three members, Wasalu Jaco on the vocals & production, Le Messie on production and Graham Burris on bass. Not to be mistaken, Waslu Jaco is actually the alias Lupe will be using in the band, which also happens to be his real name. As a great gesture, the band has also made their first official album, In the Jaws of The Lords of Death available for free download.
Yo, I was literally in tears when I saw this. Affion Crockett is a funny and cool dude, I met him a couple years ago at Charlie Mack’s Celebrity Weekend here in the 215. But I’m not gonna lie, since “Wild’n Out” went off the air, I haven’t really checked him out. His impersonations are always on point (check his Youtube page), but this might have to be his funniest yet, as he takes on the persona of Aubrey Graham. He’s complete with Drizzy rhymes, #DrakeHands (word to Nate Jones hahaha) and fuzzy eyebrows, but it’s the Tim Westwood inpersonator who steals the show. If you don’t know who Tim Westwood is, he’s a world famous Radio DJ from England. Check it out.
“Oh!!! Blackberry’s a No No! Perhaps an iPad, or cue cards…”
FREE Good Peoples event this Wednesday (7/14) at Brooklyn Bowl. The show features exclusive performances by Chiddy Bang (Virgin/Glastonbury/Lollapalooza), Daniel Merriweather, and a host of other forward-looking acts.
Terry Richardson recently released these photo’s with Kanye West & Amber Rose, everyone’s favorite couple. Although they decided to split for awhile, they’re still hot shit!
Babylon Cartel introduces Summer Williams. “All I wanna say” , Summer serenades a rather rugged yet classic instrumental; none other than “Shook Ones” by Mobb Deep.
The mixture of her sultry and strong melodies along with her subjective and provocative lyrics will entice the female listeners to get things straight with their men.
Please, sit back, close your eyes, and enjoy your first peep off that Late Night Session dropping August 2nd, 2010.
