“They came from Cerritos”

That’s what the headline read in a 95-96 issue of Rap Pages that featured DJ’s rockin’ Green Lantern rings’ (way before DJ Green Lantern). The DJ’s rockin’ em were/are known as The World Famous Beat Junkies Since then they have gone from mixtapes & ITF/DMC battles to being part of a late night television show band, radio, part of many iconic hip hop groups (Jaylib, Dilated Peoples & The Visonairies… to name a few). They all can hold the fort down in their own right any given day of the week – but when they Voltron? Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiet. If you know then YOU KNOW! If you don’t then this is your chance to learn you some trill schitt before the rest of the community finds out you can’t tell shit from chocolate. Don’t trip. Blind I will help. This Saturday October 23rd VTech Phones presents the 2nd installment of their monthly event out in SF known as ‘Frequency‘. Last month we were in the house to witness the album release party/Bay are debut of Black Milk & that schitt was LIVE SON!! So you know this is bout to pop as well.

FAT BEATS IN-STORE PERFORMANCE SCHEDULES [LA]

So you already know the deal & how we feel about the whole departure of the Fat Beats stores. Sucks. But not really cuz they still are going to be doing big thangs in various formats, so I guess it’s cool & growth & all that other jazz. Anyways, the NYC farewell jump off was filled to the brim of dope artists who had made Fat Beat NYC their home so it is only fitting that they mirror the same for the LA farewell & as you can see to the right (click pic to enlarge), that they are NOT playin! I mean DAMN!!! I know the NBA will be playing the All Star game @ Staples this season but this schitt right here my ninja? This is LA’s All Star Hip Hop fest for the ages! You got OG spitters from LA’s underground elite from Erule to Volume 10,  to LA’s G’d up from the chucks up spitters MC Eiht to Kurupt, a face melt of beats from LA producers Dibiase to Exile as well as a performace from the Gawdz of LA style Freestyle Fellowship! That aint even scratching the surface tho! Peep the line up for each day & plan accordingly. You’re welcome. Below is my favorite song from Erule  & still in my top 10 all time Hip Hop songs ever.

VIDEO: FRANK NITT – GO GIRL

I have been beating this song out off this lowkey Terrace Martin collection I was given a couple months ago. I got nothing but love for Detroit & the sons & daughters they gave us to beat out to on the daily. Frank Nitt brings another dope visual to an already dope song. Props to Boombox for the premo!

JEDI RESPECOGNITION TO ALL THE GLURBS OUT THERE DOING THEIR THANG!! WE LOVE YOU ALL!
