DJ JS-1 – No Sell Out Album Mega Mix

When making an album like DJ JS-1’s new album, No Sell Out, to say a lot of hard work was involved is an understatement. JS-1 was clearly up to the task, and three years, 21 tracks, and nearly 40 artist appearances after getting started, DJ JS-1 is proud to bring the masses his new album. Before the album’s official June 23 release date, JS-1 wants to give fans a preview of what he’s worked so hard to complete, and is doing so with the release of an official album sampler featuring a mix of the album’s many great songs. Putting on full display the DJ skills that JS-1 built the foundation of his career on, the sampler cuts deftly from track to track, giving fans just enough to have them begging for more.

For No Sell Out, an album recorded as an addendum to his previous solo effort Ground Original, JS-1 enlisted the help of an extensive and notable list of guest emcees, including KRS-One, Large Pro, Pharoahe Monch, Canibus, Sean Price, Blaq Poet, Killah Priest, Ill Bill, Kool Keith & Ced Gee (Ultramagnetic Mc’s), Aesop Rock, Vast Aire, Chino XL, Sadat X, AG, OC, Craig G, CL Smooth, Edo G, Prince Po, Akrobatik, J-Live, Vinnie Paz of Jedi Mind Tricks, Rakaa of Dilated Peoples, Krondon, C Rayz Walz, Vast Aire, Nutrageous, Copywrite, PMD, Rahzel, EMC (Masta Ace, Strick, Wordsworth, Punchline), Termanology, Torae, Pumpkinhead, Jak D, Big Noyd, Q-Unique, Brother Ali, Slaine, Virtuoso, Pack FM, Supastition.

*Exclusive* New Black Milk “Dreams”

Only a few months removed from the release of his acclaimed album TRONIC last October, Black Milk is busier than ever and looking to make 2009 his most successful year yet. While staying in the public’s eyes and ears with the debut of the video for the smash “Losing Out” and with his production for Colin Munroe’s hit single “Piano Lessons,” Black has spent the year’s early months working overtime in the studio on various projects.

The much-anticipated self-titled full-length from Random Axe – the supergroup consisting of Black, Sean Price, and Guilty Simpson – is near completion and is slated to drop this summer on Duck Down Records. He’s also been recording numerous tracks for Slum Village’s forthcoming project, and recently completed the track “On the Grind” for KRS-One and Buckshot’s new album, which includes a hook sung by superstar Mary J. Blige. Fittingly, Black is also producing his first full-length R&B album for Detroit chanteuse Melanie Rutherford (who appeared on “Bond 4 Life” from the TRONIC album), and chipping away at an instrumental project using samples culled from blaxploitation flicks. Never one to shy away from the mic for too long, Black Milk recently recorded the brand new solo track “Dreams” as a web exclusive.

Queensbridge Emcee Blaq Poet To Release DJ Premier Produced Tha Blaqprint

Blaq Poet, a rhyme veteran of the New York hip-hop scene, is proud to announce the release of his new album, Tha Blaqprint, due this spring via Year Round Records / Fat Beats Distribution. 

Blaq Poet is not satisfied with the current direction of hip-hop. Never one to sit on the sidelines, Poet is preparing the release of a new album to bring listeners back to the hardcore, gritty, New York boom-bap sound for which he’s known and loved. Giving a glimpse into the Queensbridge state of mind that influences his sound, Poet says, “QB is like everything you heard. It’s home to those who live there, and it’s definitely not home to people who don’t.” Following the critical success of his debut solo LP Rewind: Deja Screw in 2006, Poet has been busy in the lab perfecting Tha Blaqprint and the new album is finally ready for the masses. 

Creating unadulterated, authentic, New York boom-bap requires the right touch, and to ensure Tha Blaqprint would have the proper musical aesthetic Blaq Poet joined forces with legendary producer, long-time collaborator, and friend DJ Premier. Not only is DJ Premier releasing the album on his own Year Round Records, he also crafted beats for all but two of the album’s tracks, including the album’s lead single “Ain’t Nuttin’ Changed.” Elsewhere the album features production from producer-extraordinaire Easy Mo Bee (Notorious B.I.G., GZA, 2Pac) and Gemcrates, a young producer on the rise. In a time when albums lack musical consistency and emcees and producers rarely find themselves in the studio together, Poet’s true-school formula shines bright on his new LP.

Poet, a native of the Queensbridge projects, first made a name for himself in 1987, with the release of “Beat You Down,” a scathing song attacking KRS-One at the height of the battle between Queens and The Bronx. Later, honoring a dead friend, he formed the hardcore rap group Screwball, comprised of other QB rhymers Hostyle, Solo, and Poet’s cousin KL. After the release of three successful albums as a part of Screwball thatincluded production from hip-hop luminaries such as Pete Rock, Marley Marl, and DJ Premier, Poet released his solo LP Rewind: Deja Screw, to high acclaim. Staying busy in-between albums, Poet’s unique brand of rhyming has graced numerous projects, including the landmark KRS-One and Marley Marl song “The Victory,” which prompted DJ Premier to sign Blaq Poet to his Year Round Records label. Blaq Poet’s new album Tha Blaqprint will be available this spring via Year Round Records via Fat Beats Distribution.

KRS-One Talks The……………….. Truth?!?!

The last thing i want to do is to use this to push any kind of politics on you guys but i thought this was pretty interesting. I’ve been a fan of Alex Jones for a while now so when i seen that he hooked up with no other that Knowledge Reigns Supreme himself i had to check it out. Its interesting to hear a different take on Barack especially from a black artist when it seem that just bout every other African/American entertainer seems to idiolize the man. Take from this what you will!
