check out the newest addition to the briefcase rockers family L.E.G. coming straight out of the Benelux region for you and your people. this is a link to a  radio show at the college radio station Radio Campus Brussels and I came thru and kicked a bar or 2. they did the show live and direct in real time, it was sick to see! expect big things from them in the new year, and be on the look out for Belgium and Holland in general when it comes to the music styles that we mess with since they are on some “diamond in the ruff/hidden jewel” tip right now….

puyopuyo

the begining of the crever show yesterday, i was the only one spectator, the show was dope, go go puyo puyo

the guy behind me is the bartender, MY crev bartender

the homeys Islands came through to good ol’ Durham, NC and being the Briefcase Rocker that i am/friends of the fam …. i got to fill the shoes of the various rappers (including myself in the past) that have got to grace the stage for a rendition of Where There’s A Will There’s A Whalebone, the album version of which features Subtitle and Busdriver.

i tried to mimic Subtitle’s way of handling this guest spot (after watching many youtube versions of him doing it) by remaining sort of “in the cut” and not letting anyone know it was going to go down, and then just popping up at the last minute right before it’s time for me to rip.

i went to a side mic so that Nick could still have the main one for when he comes back in, but for some reason it was dead. turns out neither the in-house nor the touring sound man had any idea what was going on, and cut the mic as soon as i went for it, thinking i was a party crasher. i end up on the main mic and proceed to get tackled by the local sound guy, who attempts to drag me off the stage while i am just beginning to spit, causing me to space on my pre-prepared lyrics and launch into a freestyle, never missing a beat even as i am trying to shrug the guy off. i guess he realized the band was cool with what was happening and he lets it ride, and he gets quickly dissed in my free, which ends up being rather aggressive as well as laudatory to Islands, who were definitely killing their set. turns out the freestyle went over great, better than my written lyrics could have (just a random verse from a Huevos classic) and after watching as many versions of the song as i could earlier that day, i was able to get the timing down perfect and everyone went nuts. it was rad. i received many pats on the back as well as apologies from both sound men, though of course the fact that they tried to shut me down made the appearance way more crev and exciting for the audience, so i’m stoked that it went down like that.

I was supposed to drop this a while ago but it wasn’t done and I was hemmed up with all types of shit popping off. Now that I have relocated to Brussels for the interim and things are still moving how they should, I can get back on schedule with the campaign. Like Red said, “a setback is only a set-up for a comeback” and that’s what I’m all about. LA Cita Strobe soon come and stations of the crev02 will be here before that. Trunk Bomb Beta is 5 songs deep in stage-B which is lyrical mode. Stage-A was production mode and C will be post production mode. You will either love it or hate it….

if you follow this blog and my contributions to it, you know that i am always repping my boy Lockjaw and his bevy of hip hop knowledge and insight. why he doesn’t have his OWN blog, i do not know. this is one of his latest emails to me, besides a link to the fat boys on miami vice.

“Yo man, I know there are a million amazing rap album covers, but in terms of a truly well-done, sophisticated and artfully bad ass photograph, this shit might be it to me. I think this might be done by B+ who photographed lots of folks (?). You got the shadows in the photo, the great album title, gold rims on a white car, and the gat that looks straight out of the first Terminator. And the OE can on the hood looks like some Andy Warhol shit. Also, I think he’s rolling in house shoes, and I love house shoes. Dude was skinny back in the day.”

word the f*ck up!!! look at that shit!!!!

huevos out.

my boy mild davis is pretty much #1 with a youtube link.

he sent me this first video:

uglyman kinda rips that shiii. but, no matter what you think about the song, it is obvious that you are asking yourself: “what is up with that fat guy?” well, he knew you were thinking that. here is his response:

i hope these guys all get rich. i mean, really rich.

and just for fun, because this is what the name “uglyman” makes me think of, one of the best In Living Color parodies ever, marlon doing his thing:

you would think everyone in the Netherlands smokes hella weed, but they don’t. still, having never smoked in a bar (legally …haha) it was pretty crev for me to do this. here are your homeys, straight blowin:
