Chuuwee Sets It Off

JPizzle — Mon, 21 May 2012 16:47:39 +0000

With his Crown Me King mixtape still generating incredible buzz, Chuuwee is in the studio feverishly putting the final touches (Chuuwee announced Large Pro’s inclusion on his debut project, of which a preview can be seen here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVV2QIb1mnk) on his official debut LP, Wild Style, which will be released on 5-29-2012 on Amalgam Digital Records.

Wild Style can be summarized as pure 90s Hip Hop, where Chuuwee is taking the classic elements of the golden era with the look, sound and the feel and then applying them to the present day. Inspired by Gang Starr, A Tribe Called Quest, Big L, De La Soul with even hints of DMX, Wild Style promises to be Chuuwee’s break-out project, one that will showcase him as being a frontrunner lyricist from Hip-Hop’s new school; while also paying homage and respect to the great pioneers of the 1990’s. “Wild Style is the album that’s going to eradicate weak rap off the face of the map. It is the return of real Hip-Hop. It’s pure and it’s not me trying to re-make it. It’s not me telling you its 90s Hip-Hop; it is 90s Hip-Hop” says Chuuwee.

A recent recipient of XXLmag.com’s “The Break,” Chuuwee has finally unveiled the lead-single, “Rock The Party,” (produced by Jonathan Lowell) from Wild Style

Big Shug Readies An Album That Looks Worth Copping

JPizzle — Wed, 16 May 2012 16:40:43 +0000

His name says it all; standing at well over six feet tall and with the intimidating muscular build of a linebacker, Big Shug’s physical presence alone is enough to command attention. His voice, a hoarse rumble effective for delivering both fearsome threats or smooth crooning as his alter-ego Shugie Diamonds, is one of rap’s most instantly recognizable. As both a solo artist and founding member of Gang Starr, his name has consistently shown up in album credits alongside hip-hop’s elite for over 20 years.

But despite that, Shug has never courted the spotlight. As countless other rappers, and even Gang Starr themselves, fell by the wayside, he has persevered through fans’ evolving tastes and a changing record industry by staying true to the ideals – integrity, respect for the streets and love of music – that have fueled his career. Nowhere is that more apparent than on I.M. 4-EVA.

Stitching together the various parts of his career into one, this album, true to its title, is a comprehensive look at who Big Shug is, where he came from and where he is going. With his bruising flow over classic DJ Premier produced cuts bringing back nostalgic 90s memories, he pays tribute to the fans who have stuck with him since the beginning. I.M. 4-Eva – Shug’s fourth solo album and his first since 2008′s Other Side of the Game – marks the next chapter in his ongoing maturation as an artist. The album reunites Shug with old friends like M.O.P., Fat Joe and Premier, while also connecting with a new generation of hip-hop fans via collaborations with Reks, Termanology, Singapore Kane and Slaine.

In addition to the 17 all new studio cuts Brick Records has presented a timeless package; a hard back, 36 page book chronicling The True History of Gang Starr as told by Big Shug, plus anecdotes from his 20+ year career, rare never before seen vintage photos and more. Through his words and his music, Big Shug truly shows here why he is 4-EVA. Big Shug’s I.M. 4-Eva LP and The True History of Gang Starr will be released on 7-24-2012.

Murs Gets His Fine Art On

JPizzle — Wed, 16 May 2012 13:50:06 +0000

Murs is the man and here’s another reason why.

Murs had a revelation while waiting in line to see the Louvre Museum in Paris. A longtime staple of L.A.’s underground hip-hop scene, Murs had a day off while on tour in Paris last year. Spotted by museum workers, Murs and his wife were pulled from the line and told to bypass the crowds.

“Some fans came up to me and gave us some free passes,” said Murs, who was born Nick Carter. “That’s when it hit me that we’re old enough to be involved with the arts. I have fans who work at the Louvre? That’s crazy.”

Not, perhaps, as crazy as collaborating with a similarly world-renowned art institution.

This week, Murs and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art will launch a six-month exploration of L.A.’s hip-hop culture with the series Through the Mic. On Thursday night, Murs’ own group 3 Melancholy Gypsys will stage its first performance in about five years; monthly concerts will follow, each presented in front of the 200 vintage lamp posts that make up the museum’s “Urban Light” installation on Wilshire Boulevard. The goal, said Murs, is for “the Los Angeles hip-hop scene to get some validation as art and not just gangsta rap or pop music.”

“Even in the past, in traveling to New York, my friends think a lot of the gangsta rap is just made up,” Murs said. “They think it’s a product and they think it isn’t real hip-hop. They think it’s entertaining, like everything else in this city. We’re known here for entertainment, but not necessarily known for our art scene and our hip-hop scene. I aim to change that.”

‘Through the Mic’ will return June 21 with Koreatown’s Dumfounded and pioneering female MC Medusa. While LACMA is no stranger to live music, showcasing bands as part of its events-focused Muse membership program in addition to hosting a jazz series, the museum’s hip-hop ambitions will be the first step toward turning the outdoor area near the “Urban Light” exhibit into a venue.

“We want that venue in front of ‘Urban Light’ to emerge as one of the best outdoor concert venues in Los Angeles,” said Jason Gaulton, coordinator of the Muse program. “We’ll never be able to take anything away from the [Hollywood] Bowl, but ‘Urban Light’ makes for a stunning backdrop. It’s an intimate experience but creates a unique experience.”

Murs said he has acts lined up through much of the series. The artist, who now lives in Tuscon, Ariz., has been programming the annual Paid Dues hip-hop festival since 2006, and that event’s promoter, Guerilla Union, will be handling stage setup and sound for ‘Through the Mic.’

“I have relationships with everyone from Snopp Doog to Kendrick Lamar,” Murs said. “When I first started meeting with LACMA, I was telling them about Kendrick Lamar, and I said, ‘By the time we get this started, he’ll be the biggest rapper in L.A.’ Now we won’t get him to slow down enough to do this.

“But who doesn’t want to be a part of presenting their art at LACMA?” Murs continued. “If it doesn’t mean anything to you, it means something to your mother and your grandmother.”

Gaulton believes the events will target those who don’t usually come to LACMA, and he hopes it’s the first of many music-focused happenings. “When we first started talking about the series, we were talking about an eclectic series, where each installment would reflect a different genre,” Gaulton said. “We felt like the strength of being a museum, and what you find in exhibition, is an exploration of one topic.”

For each concert, LACMA will open its doors to a modern art exhibit, said Gaulton, although there are currently no plans to curate any hip-hop-related artworks on the museum’s walls. About 1,000 tickets will be sold to each concert, the first of which is sold out and cost $15 to non-members. Also running will be “Metropolis II,” a mini-city installation that features 1,100 Hot Wheels-sized cars, 25 large buildings, 18 lanes of traffic and 13 trains.
Murs hopes visitors will explore not just the museum but also the history of L.A hip-hop. “Medusa has been around for a long time,” he said. “She’s worked with everyone. She was with Outkast for quite some time. For me, she was my introduction into the more Afrocentric side of the L.A., the Leimert Park area. She’s worn a giant Afro since ’92, and I remember seeing her and being in love with her.”

The artist has another goal as well: “It’s time for our generation, the hip-hop generation, to become patrons of the arts,” he said. “When some of us have ancillary money to invest, it’s important to be a part of a museum.”

Murs practices what he preaches — sort of. He’s not currently a LACMA member. “I’ll definitely become a member after the show,” he said.

Fokis ,RP and King Sun Know How To Share

JPizzle — Tue, 15 May 2012 11:38:39 +0000

“Pass Dat” featuring King Sun is the second official single off of Fokis’ upcoming “Vintage Album”, Produced by HipHipHeredia (Fokis’ Older Brother). King Sun was one of the first and most successful Afrocentric hip-hop artists in the early 90′s, he was a force on and off the mic. His Gold Selling album Righteous But Ruthless featured the smash single “Be Black” which solidified his place in Hip-Hop history.

The Vintage album is scheduled for release this summer and features Hip-Hop legends Kurtis Blow, DMC, Grandmaster Caz, Brand Nubian, Kool G. Rap, Spoonie Gee, King T, MC Eiht, Mic Geronimo, N.O.R.E. and more. Created with two purposes in mind, “The Vintage Album” was intended not only to salute Hip-Hop’s pioneers but also to re-create the sound and feel of the early 80’s through the mid 90’s.
