From AC3 Hip-Hop Festival: “I don’t care who first or who’s last but all I know is that y’all better rock this at the drop of a dime, baby!” If you know you’re history, you’ll know that these are the opening words to one of the most prolific songs in all of Hip Hop history; The Juice Crew’s “The Symphony.” It’s been roughly 10 years since the original Juice Crew last performed together, but in a mere matter of weeks at the A3C, you’ll be able to witness history in the making as Biz Markie, Big Daddy Kane, Marley Marl, MC Shan, Craig G and Roxanne Shante reunite to perform some of the songs which steered the course of Hip Hop music as we know it today.

The Roots - 75 Bars (Black’s Reconstruction)

After The Chaos Comes Karniege

Are you tired of hearing the same noise filling the music industry? Do you feel it is in a state of repetition that is leading to its doom? Well after the chaos comes Karniege and he is looking to devour your distaste for hip-hop and infuse it with musically delight. He has three albums dropping in 2008 to whet your appetite.

First up is Mighty Joseph (Karniege and Vast Aire) with the album, “Empire State” that is collaboration with one half of Cannibal Ox. This album is of monstrous proportions which the album cover definitely depicts.

Next up is Nasa and Karniege team up with the album, “From The Left” which will show you what is right.

From Karniege Myspace: The combination of Karniege’s gruff hard-delivered rhymes and Nasa’s heavy progressive beats is something that has been brewing for a minute.

Last but not least is the The Invizzibl Men (MarQ Spekt and Karniege) with the album, “The Unveiling” combining two of the hardest working in the underground.

From BackwoodzStudioz.com: The result is a ferociously hard rap record bristling with gunmetal beats and lyrics still dripping spraypaint.

If you pick up all of these releases then you will have all you need to prepare you after the chaos. Karniege is not here to destroy but to rebuild your confidence in music.

I Love You My Weng Weng

There are times on YouTube that you find something that just has to be seen to believe and this is definitely one of those times. Prepare yourself for Weng Weng. You will never be the same again.

Bavu Blakes Gives Free Music Every Week

Bavu Blakes Presents…08 So Great (A New Flow Every Week) a new series where he will deliver a new song every week in 2008. That is 52 songs for free in 2008. This has to be one of the most refreshing ideas from an up and coming artist. It will allow him to gain a wider audience as well as showing his diverse styles. Every song so far has been infectiously good that it will continue to make me go back for more. The songs are all free to download and some have videos of Mr. Blakes spitting in the booth. If Bavu can pull this off and not lose steam, it will push other artists to step up to the challenge.

Soul Assassinative Downloads

Soul Assassins are secretly trying to infiltrate your computer with free music. Starting now and continuing every month DJ Muggs and family will be delivering their mixtapes and exclusives to download from their site. If you float around the rest of their site you will read about Soul Assassins, their affiliate projects or buy Soul Assassin’s t-shirts in their shop. So go for the free downloads but stay for the content.
