Ride To The Death (Trailer )
Cats in my hometown of Philly been riding these bikes around the city & throughout the neighborhoods for years. Interesting to see Meek Mill just tweeted about this new documentary on the Philly bike scene entitled “Ride to the Death.”
‘“Ride to the Death” is and introspective look into the street bike culture. Contrast to the stunts, dirt tracks, and the celebrity of American Motocross, and allows you to dive beneath the layers of the urban inner city bike culture. This particular tale takes you to the City of Brotherly love Philadelphia, PA. Original Series coming soon. Produced by M-Vision Films Directed by Lamar McPherson.’
In a strange twist of irony, the documentary is called “Ride To The Death” when in fact one of the bike riders featured in the documentary is actually “Deaf”. No pun intended.

Cardiak – “The Emergency Room” Vol. 1 (Instrumentals)
New Jersey’s own producer extraordinaire Cardiak has released his first all-instrumental download, “The Emergency Room” Vol. 1, featuring music for “Lean Wit It,” “600 Benz,” “Start It Up,” “Outlaw,” and more. The Willingboro, New Jersey (outside of Philadelphia) based producer is definitely seeing his stock rise so he’s letting loose some freebies for the emcees to get busy over or for those of us who dig his beats. My favorite is the ‘Lean Wit It’ joint he produced for Meek Mill. Also included in his new mixtape are beats that have never been heard prior to this release. Get “The Emergency Room” Vol. 1 by Cardiak right here or listen to the beats from the project below…

Underground Magazine and HHH Magazine have ink on Brooklyn’s own Mic Blaque. He’s opened for M.O.P. and Meek Millz. Now, I’m aware of him. Uh oh, let’s go! Mic Blaque hit my radar on a YouTube surf session with “The Return” (see video above). DOPE! I peeped his bio and saw his mission statement: “Make music to change the world, not to fit the status quo.†DOPENESS! And he has vowed to channel his creativity into music that addresses societal issues (like poverty, empowerment)…you know, like some of the greats of the Golden Era of Hip Hop did last century. Dun-nuh-dun-dun-nuuuhhhh SUPER DOPENESS!!! I see you Mic Blaque. Now, y’all be sure to click and see Mic Blaque in “The Return.” Hell, why not go to www.MicBlaqueMusic.com and get a copy of the mixtape it’s on – “The Intermission” (produced by young hungry BK producer Tone Tremelo)? It’s free (just scroll down a bit to the link when you get there). Watch this dude. Follow him @MicBlaque. That’s a tip. And…you’re welcome.

“Jahlil Beats has produced tracks for everyone from Lil Wayne to Diddy, but it was his breakout hit, Meek Mill’s anthemic “I’m A Boss” which has catapulted him into the hip-hop spotlight. Here, the 23-year-old Chester City, Pennsylvania native (located about 20 minutes from Philadelphia) takes us through his process, talks about signing to Roc Nation and offers a glimpse into his reality.” – Life & Times

MTV Names Their Hottest Rappers In The Game For 2012 (Video)
I labeled this as “MTV’s Hottest Emcees Rappers In The Game” because not everyone on this list is an “emcee”….some are just rappers or singers. Either way it is what it is…Rap lists these days don’t hold much weight, but if you’re a real hip hop head like myself then you’ll chuckle out loud at some of things said by people on this panel. Ah well…What’d you expect from MTV & the current state of radio & rap music these days…Overall it’s just a reflection of how bad “mainstream” rap music is. There’s plenty of great music out there, but most of it ISN’T on the radio unfortunately. One thing I was surprised about was seeing the homie @BosNaud was on this panel. I haven’t looked at all the vids as of yet so I hope he represented well. Check out links to the discussion on the other candidates on “MTV’s 2012 Hottest Rappers On The Radio Payola” “MTV’s 2012 Hottest Rappers In The Game” list below….

Rick Ross Spending More Than Time In Philadelphia (Video)
After shooting the video for “I’mma Boss” with Meek Mill in North Philly, Rick Ross takes some time to make the rounds in Philly including spending some cash on some sports jerseys. Freeway, Emilio Rojas, & others appear in this particular video. What I really want to know is what is the name of the song playing at the beginning of the video from Meek Mill?! I’m diggin’ that Meek Mill song that plays in the beginning of the the video…I need that joint before the summer is over
I need a no DJ version of that “Middle Of Da Summer” joint produced by Tone Beats….it’s a banger!
Jill Scott feat. Eve – ‘Shame’ (Video)
This is the new video & first single from Jilly from Philly’s upcoming album ‘Light Of The Sun’ featuring quite a few cameos from Philly representers like Ms. Jade, Peedi Crakk, Meek Mill, & of course Black Thought of The Legendary Roots Crew. Even Queens New York emcee Pharoahe Monch makes a cameo in the clip. It feels good to see they filmed this video in my old North Philly neighborhood. Feels like I was there….
XXL Magazine’s 2011 Freshman Cover
The majority of the guys on this cover I’ve played on my radio show at some point or another so I’m not entirely mad at the cover. Except for Diggy Simmon’s head placement. Pause. Kendrick Lamar, CyHi Da Prynce, Mac Miller, Meek Mill, Yelawolf, Big K.R.I.T., & Diggy Simmons have all seen airplay on my radio show because I’ve genuinely liked the music they put out. It appears the staff at XXL Magazine tried to showcase a new artist with buzz from every region & every particular style lane. Artists & fans upset about XXL magazine’s choices can take solace in the fact that being on XXL’s cover doesn’t automatically guarantee success for any relatively new artist. New artists that didn’t make the cover shouldn’t worry because being on the cover puts a huge amount of undue pressure on you to succeed. If you happen to be a new artist on the come up I’d just say stay focused on your craft. It’s a marathon & not a sprint in the music industry. Longevity baby….
