Chocolate Snowflake and I are in Philly this weekend eating cheesesteaks like there is no tomorrow.
I apologize in advance for the lack of updates I’m sure this weekend will produce. In the meantime and in between time hold this Combat Jack Show from last Wednesday.
Also, SAVE THE DATE: August 20th, 2011 – The Combat Jack Show BYOB BBQ
The Combat Jack Show was another classic webcast on Wednesday night. Microphone issues as usual. Uninvited guests and never a topic too taboo for the discussion. Shouts to Torae and Nitty Scott for kicking it with us for a few minutes.
Sasha Jenkins and CHINO BYI rounded out the show’s lineup. Two words… Class. Sick.
I’m getting into all kinds of mess this weekend so hold onto this excellent Combat Jack Show episode from the week prior featuring Jean Grae and SlaughterHouse (and more specifically Joell Ortiz) co-manager Mike Herard.
The Random Axe show in Brooklyn’s venerable performance space SouthPaw was a classic vibe. Shouts to Meka from 2DopeBoyz for opening up the space with a dope set.
DJ Evil Dee brought that veteran deejay skill to the stage next. I stayed yelling out to the interconnected networks that they all should have worn their backpacks.
Skyzoo lit up the stage with what will be the future of the underground genre.
Black Moon’s set was another reminder of why Duck Down Records remains a staple in Hip-Hop’s history. Black Moon’s songs are the definition of backpack rap.
Smif-N-Wessun x Heltah Skeltah x Boot Camp Clik is the army.
Random Axe is backpack rap when you are strapped with a gat.
Luckily no one was shot at the show and fun time was had by all.
Combat Jack got me a placement in the latest The Source magazine. Forget all those articles I wrote for that Next Level magazine, this right here is what I am considering to be my first official piece.
It’s about the history of the Super Soaker which turned 20 this year. Did you know a Black dude had invented these joints? Here’s to hoping that Combat Jack can get me some more placements before its all said and done.
Pick up a copy of The Source and help support my sneaker acquisitions. Thank you.
