FAT BEATS IN-STORE PERFORMANCE SCHEDULES
Once we all got word that Fat Beats would be closing down nationally, there were definitely mixed emotions about the vinyl staple ending its run. However, Fat Beats has big plans to go out with a bang by hosting a series of in-store performances at its NY and Los Angeles Locations. See below for details:
(August 30, 2010 – Brooklyn, NY) After announcing the closing of their New York and Los Angeles locations, Fat Beats is excited to present a send-off worthy of their hip-hop legacy. A week-long series of in-store performances and music industry panels at both stores will allow the music community to not only learn about the history of Fat Beats and what the future of the music industry holds, but to also celebrate the legacy of one of the strongest music brands in the company of their favorite artists. These week-long in-stores are sure to go down in hip-hop and New York history. Everyone is welcome to come and all events are free.
Today marks the official start of the week-long in-stores for the New York location. This location will host artist perfomances every day this week from 4-9pm until it closes its doors for the final time on Saturday, September 4th, 2010. Additionally, both locations will be selling limited edition commemorative t-shirts, as well as discounted music and merchandise

TAYLOR MCFERRIN-EARLY RISER EP
It’s been years since we’ve heard anything new from Brooklyn-based beatbox master producer Taylor McFerrin. He’s now released a new EP titled Early Riser and it’s fitting music for calm early mornings (just not getting around to posting, late pass granted). Stream the three songs below. Many of those “drums and snares” are really Taylor. Salute.

MY MIC SOUNDS NICE: A TRUTH ABOUT WOMEN IN HIP-HOP
A couple weeks ago, I attended a screening for BET’s first ever original music documentary, “My Mic Sounds Nice: A Truth About Women In Hip-Hop“. Directed by Ava DuVernay, the film takes a loving, yet critical look at the history of sisters in Rap music. It is equal parts celebration of pioneers and those carrying the torch and lamentation over the lack of estrogen in today’s Hip-Hop spaces.
Take a peek at the trailer:
Commentary is provided primarily by woman rappers, including MC Lyte, YoYo, Trina, Salt n’ Pepa, The Lady of Rage, Diamond, Eve, Missy, etc. Other heads weighing in include Kevin Lyles, Joan Morgan, Questlove, Glennisha Morgan of The Fembassy and Russell Simmons. I was really excited to hear the thoughts Jean Grae, Tiye Pheonix and a few other female rappers who aren’t as familiar to the BET audience (there is a great independent artist roll-call at the end as well).
