Kickstarter, Premrock & Willie Green Pledge A Tour

Do you remember producer Willie Green? Well he has teamed with emcee Premrock to release the self-titled album, Premrock & Willie Green on September 28, 2011on Isolated Wax Records. In an effort to promote their record they are going on tour in the U.S. in September and then International in October. You can help them fund their tour while getting dope music in return on their Kickstarter page. You can give as little as $1 dollar or more to receive bonuses. The one I chose was the $20 pledge which included:

Digital copy of new album: “PremRock & Willie Green,” signed hard copy of PremRock’s “the build” and digital copy of Willie Green’s “Dirty Jordans.” Email updates from the tour.

So basically I get three albums from their respective catalogs and help them put on a show for fans around the world that sounds like a win for everyone. So if you want to support them hit up their Kickstarter page for more options. Also to let you hear what is on the new album they have released this single with C-Rayz Walz, Soul Khan and DJ Addikt called, “Had to Be Me“.

 

The Peanut Butter & Jelly Party 2009: Photo Review

Coming back from another country and already back to my old ways. We attended The Peanut Butter & Jelly Party 2009 at the Loft on April 19. I found out about the event from Last.fm/Events and just had to go because it is rare to have Hip-Hop in Nashville, Tennesse. So here is my review on the event through photos.

This is the first thing I saw walking into the event. Also Syntax Records hosted the concert with most of the roster performing are on.

The lighting behind Scribbling Idiots enhances the show but they could do that with their energy alone.

How could it be a “Peanut Butter & Jelly Party” without the peanut butter and jelly, right. They served it all night with free milk and Rockstar energy drinks for backup.

Alkaholiks Got The Rehab Tour To Make You Say Daaam!

Tha Alkaholiks have answered their question and have come out of retirement to do the Rehab Tour.

They were also on the Top 10 CDs From The 1990s list that was compiled here. It took two years but it will be worth the wait. Seeing Tha Alkaholiks in concert is definitely a treat and they have one of the best live shows. If you love that likwit sound or you want to see a hype show definitely find a venue near you.
