10 Years of Hip-Hop for EOW.

A staple in the New York Underground Hip-Hop Scene End Of The Weak (EOW) is celebrating their 10 year anniversary this friday night at Highline Ballroom. Last year's show at East River Park had performances from Immortal Technique, Breez Evahflowin, Poison Pen, Vast Aire, Mazzi Soul Purpose, Punchline and Fokis, J Arch, Swave, Kay M, Iron Solomon and Dujeous, just to name a few so I can't imagine who will take to the stage this year at the solid 10 anniversary.

Thus far it has been announced that they will debut a B-Boy Challenge with an open cypher, Beatboxer Entertainment will put on an exhibition as well as a DJ Challenge with DP One, Fat Fingahz and DJ Wonder and judged by Eclipse, Teddy Ted and Mr Len. Kay-M and Rabbi Darkside are a part of the MC Challenge and performances and special guests are Homeboy Sandman, Evil Dee and DMC with much more to be announced. Keep posted on updates to the show this friday by checking their blog as they continue to announce more additions to the show.

Still On The Scene With 4,000 Strong and Steady!

I'm BACK!!!! I've taken a little hiatus from blogging but not from the hip-hop and music scene. I have still been out at shows and events, some even out of town and of course documenting via videos and pictures, but somehow my documenting has fallen short when it comes to blogging. The videos are consistently being uploaded onto my Youtube channel and I edit pictures as much as I can, some distributed to other people and others uploaded mainly onto my facebook page, which isn't really fair to the people I'm not friends with on facebook, but I'm going to try to do a better job at uploading more stuff onto the blog to share with everyone. My sincere apologies to the people who have contacted me wondering why I have not updated in awhile, but thanks for asking and I appreciate you taking the time to check the blog and wanting me to update it with new stuff. With that being said here is a lil update, today officially marks my 4,000th video upload onto youtube. Who said I disappeared??? I'm consistently at shows taking videos and youtube is my proof.


It turns out my 4000th video coincidently are three really good friends of mine who are truly inspirational artists that I have a lot of admiration for. They are emcees, educators and three of the most positive, talented human beings you may ever encounter on the scene of music. The Emceeing, DJing, Beatboxing and Freestyling group that makes 3rd Party are comprised of Rabbi Darkside, Hired Gun and Farbeon. They have travelled the country and have toured overseas in Europe and Brazil, they are involved in workshops integrating hip-hop music with communities through positive experiences steering away from all the negative stigma that people label hip-hop with. Their style is eclectic, their beats are original, their verses are never repetitive and their talent is unlimited. The track "Best Minds(Remix)" is by far one of my favorites and they know this because I always bug them to perform it, but they are definitely not a one hit wonder. They have been on the block for a long time and have a slew of incredibly contagious music that will be set on repeat once played. I definitely recommend checking out their music...especially the newly released project Skillz To Take Brazil, that Rabbi D, Hired Gun and DJ Zajazza just recently released.“Skillz to Take Brazil” is an international collaboration of artists from New York, Brazil and France, coming together to express the spirit of Hip Hop, brotherhood and community. Imagine the pulsating energy of Samba and the rawness of New York City streets wrapped up in soulful jazz production. “Skillz to Take Brazil” is the result of collaboration, culture, connection, and community."  Taken from the words of their Myspace page  I couldn't have said it any better myself. It is a project that is in a league of its own and truly raises the bar when it comes to artists bringing something different to the hip-hop table. Please check them out, they are truly amazing artists and I can't thank them enough for being just all around dope individuals!





Shout out to Rabbi D, Hired Gun and Farbeon for being part of my 4000th video. You are one of the Best Minds of our generation.
