Dynomite Kid - Slump SosaVideo

Sometimes, I'm on the fence about "jacking beats", but I have to admit that Dynomite Kid KILLED this beat. I look for two things when i hear a jacked beat/see a jacked beat video. First, do they make the song theirs? Secondly, do they bring some bars on it? Dynomite Kid did both of these things with this track. I feel bad for Cheef Keef for letting Dynomite Kid get this beat. Good look.

Chance Jolivette @chancejolivette - "The World is Ours" album review

Louisiana artist, Chance Jolivette (aka Mr. 12 in the fiscal), is one of the most devoted artists in the game that I know. I've been watching him grow as a artist for years. His work ethic would put some major artists to shame. That's why I think he has the right to call his current (yes, there will be more soon) project, "The World is Ours". Inspired by Scarface (the movie), he spits tracks reflecting his come up and being hip hop's "bad guy".Chance's machine gun flow goes well with the production on the project. Chance speaks on the ups and downs of his career throughout the project. He lets us know he's "focused" and "determined"  as he's "trying 2 live out his dreams". The only negative thing
about the project is that 17 tracks is somewhat too long. Even though Chance kept my attention through every track, he could have kept 4 or 5 tracks for a bonus disc or another project.One thing I can say is that the world better get ready for Chance, because he's coming for it. Boss Status.

SB: Augusta, Ga by the way of Frankfurt, Germany

SC:  How did you become the" 6 million dollar DJ"?
SB: Most dudes growing up as kid wanted to be Suprman, Batman, Spiderman or some other . I wanted to be the Bionic Man (The Six Million Dollar Man) starring Lee Majors, a tv show back in the 70’s. Man, it was something about that Intro of Show too! The icing on the cake was the red suit (lol) and when he was running in slo mo.

Tru Knowledge, Canton Jones, Milliyon, T Haddy,Vizunari, Big Ran, 7vnSeal,Von Vargas, Sean Slaughter, Young Chozen,Young Paul..Man, I’m actually sitting here thinking (lol) it’s more than this!





SC: I see you recently went to africa. How was the hip hop scence over there?
SB: Hip Hop is WORLDWIDE!! I went to five African countries and some had more hip hop influences a lilttle more than others! Botswana and Uganda were on top of it! Zambia, Rwanda, Ethiopia were on point too! Man, I did collabs with Graffiti Artist and Break Dancers. We had REAL Ciphers over there! Man, I made sure I kept it classic on my set(s) making sure I dropped the Joints! I Played “HIP HOP HOORAY” by Naughty by Nature over there! Each Stop! The venues would go bananas When that record dropped! I played at College Venues, Schools, Outdoor Venues, Clubs, 3 out 5 US Ambassadors Mansion(s) with Diplomats! Dropped that “Hip Hooray” CRAZY!!

SC: I see you are really big on fair treatment to DJs. Do you feel that
artists and/or hip hop fans take advantage of DJs?
SB: The DJ is Gateway, even though the internet is here! A record is still broken and got to be played by a DJ whether that DJ plays it on his or her Laptop, mp3 player. Now that’s another Topic in itself, but the DJ is the Gateway. Do Hip Fans take advantage of DJs? I would say,...yeah! Most people think they can do what a DJ does… they think all we do is play records! It’s a lot more to it than that! Its many elements of DJing! The art in controlling the atmosphere by working the Crowd,  playing the right record at the right time. The Time you put in listening and practicing is key. And because a lot of cats is ignorant to the culture they want to pay them little or nothing! But the DJ is LIFE of your Party!

SC: What are your current thoughts on hip hop?
SB: Man, it took a lot cats off the street. It made a lot people who you thought were not going to amount to anything Millionaires! But I also think it’s lost a lot of true substance, creativity and originality! But I see slowly it’s trying to get those two lost important elements back. I still got Love for the Culture! What I love about the culture is that it took a little or nothing and it became a Phenomenon!

SC: What are some pet peeves that artists do to you?
SB:  Try to come at me like their “dooky” don’t stank! Like I really need them! And who don’t properly tag or submit their music, and TRY to Coach me how to a Mix tape and what I do! I am Open to suggestions and even criticism but Man I will go in bro…lol!



SC: What are 3 tips you can give artists?
SB: Be a student of your craft, Be Professional, Be Humble

SC: Any last words or shout outs?
SB: Shout to everybody that has ever supported me! ALL I got is GOD, My Fam-Church Fam, and my DREAM!! DJ’s gotta Eat Too! …Props Don’t Buy Food”

Jay Elly @jayelly - Black & White Video

I got to say that this is one of the best videos I've checked out in 2013. Not only is Jay Elly spitting some bars with substance, but the visuals really bring out the concept of the track. It's filmed by @BCsPhotography1. You can check out Jay Elly on twitter at @JayEllyHTE and expect a review of his new project, "Nobody but God", from us soon.
