ATE™ in 305

I got a lil vain wit it out here in the 305 and came out from behind the camera for once. What can I say, I was in paradise, in my own threads. Shout out to Street Elements Mag and Freeway Enterprise. Its 630 and the sun is sittin on our balcony - power nap time. Mad more to come...

20 Bricks

I know I'm late as hell on these but it never hurts to shed some light for those in the dark.


So Far Gone
This ambidextrous rapper out of Canada brings a very much needed spark to the hip-hop world and the dude is nice. He'll give you a bar and a note in the same song. This is one of those times when the hype is right, he's earning his acclaim so far.


The Mixtape About Nothing
Wale holds it down for the DMV and shows that DC definitely has more going for it than Go-Go and Obama.

STRUT 2009 Karneval - Richmond VA

STRUT 2009 marked a year of hustlery in the underground fashion world for us. It was a pretty good show, different to say the least. The theme was a 30's carnival. I liked what they did in bringing something different to the table, shout out to Miss Whitney da Great, Shannon, Killa Kellz, Dj Rayvon of Parcore and VCU.






Jovani & Keith - WADDUUUUUPP!!!

"Smokey"


This is a creative concept. I almost lol'd when I realized what I was seeing. Well played sir.

"ATLiens fail shirt"

If you gonna make a tribute shirt for a classic song by a classic, hip-hop Hall of Faming duo with legendary status and a thirsty fanbase....you GOTTA get the damn words right....you can't jus be addin and subtractin words to your liking; that defeats the whole purpose and for that, my fellow "designer", you fail.

...from Virginia, this ain't gon' stop so we jus gon' continue...

Andre wit a accent, 3 triple O, Ben-jamin'....

VA Says Whaddup Back

I've been getting alotta positive feedback and responses on the blog, in particular from VA vets(shouts to Illseed). It seems ya'll liked seeing us get a lil burn on AllHip-Hop and have no problems letting it be known. Here's a message from Billy Ottis up in the 804-thats Richmond for the non-knowings:

"I seen the link on allhiphop, keep doin ya thing for VA
im from the 804 ..."

It seems he got a few things brewing up there, ya'll can show support and luv for that at www.myspace.com/billyottis and check out his artist Noah-O at WWW.MYSPACE.COM/NOAH804...that "I Got It" joint got some definite smack to it.

Remember Rap City and The Box??? Throwback!!


This might be my favorite song of all time. If I had to listen to one song 50 times in a row, it'd be this. Gotta luv that beat.

With this in close second...

The Kid Daytona ~"A TRibe Called Fresh Mixtape"~

I stumbled across this cat while waiting in the barbershop to get a lil edge-up, he was featured in GIANT Magazine. What caught my eye was the title of his mixtape "A Tribe Called Fresh". Basically its a modern rehash of some of the songs from my favorite group of all time, ATCQ. He goes off their classic beats with a modern twist. I'm downloading that jank as I type. Ya'll can listen to it below and check out his MYSPACE.

I felt like I had the key to the city with the media pass, I was running all over the place...backstage, frontstage, floor, balcony - People really get paid to do that one specific job?? I need to get on THAT! lol
There was a whole range of people there, from masters of the ghetto lifestyle to white, american eagle wearing college kids. The third balcony musta been the designated "Weed Zone", people were rolling up like that was the theme of the show. All in all, I'd definitely do that again, eff my foot.
