Jazzy Jeff Booted Off Stage For Playing Hip-Hop

On Saturday, June 6th, DJ Z-Trip performed at the Power & Light District in Kansas City, followed by DJ Jazzy Jeff, then MSTRKRFT. That evening, Jeff’s set was unexpectedly cut short by the venue. While speculation continues as to the reasoning behind this action, Z-Trip was present at the time of the debated incident.
 
While soundchecking, Z-Trip was asked by certain venue employees to “not play any rap music.” As one of the founders of the mash-up movement, hip-hop is heavily prevalent in Z’s repertoire. He proceeded with his set as planned, playing ODB and Pharoahe Monch.
 
Z-Trip watched Jazzy Jeff go on immediately following, joined by his MC, Skillz, playing a set full of Top 40 Hip-hop which included Jay-Z, Rihanna, Neyo, and TI. Mid set, Z-Trip, while standing on stage, witnessed Jeff's tour manager relay the complaints the venue had about the music he was playing. “I was really surprised the venue were upset by Jeff's set. This is Jazzy Jeff we're talking about, the guy who won the first Rap Grammy,” offers Z-Trip.
The entire venue watched Jeff leave the stage early. Once back stage, he was informed that lewd conduct by Skillz was the reason for his set being cut short. Soon after, a different reason was offered: Jeff was pushing the mix too far for their $50k audio system to handle.
 
"They had a team of sound engineers in front of the stage who controlled the master volume of the whole venue,” says Z-Trip. “No matter how loud a DJ plays, the person in front of the stage controls the show. So how can you blame it on sound levels – especially since this was the third explanation given.”

Jokerstarr Mix CD Preview...




Jokerstarr is a real talented dude coming out of the UK. Check out he's bio:
Joker Starr A cursory glance at Joker Starr's C.V. and a simple fact is made obvious: there isn't much the talented artist can't turn his hand to. From performing in New York as part of Jonzi D's Lyrical Feater, to producing a track on MC Ty's Mercury nominated album, Joker Starr doesn't limit himself and certainly isn't held back by a lack of talent. Creativity, personality, energy and originality: these are terms the young MC bandies about with ...

He's a generous soul too and has given you a preview of all his track from he's upcoming Northborough Estate MixCD :

http://www.believedigital.fr/dp/3661585079798/4118/en/

Also....look out for his track "Welcome Back Home" on the upcoming YNR Compilation "Feeding Time At The Zoo"

American Bboys In London Reality Show

So, as many of you may be aware, Raspsploitation Sessions helped organise a UK Tour for american artists, Headkrack, The Bodega Brovas & Diabolical Fancy. It went down between 14th - 19th April 2009 and was AMAZING...they murdered every show...specifically Rapsploitation Sessions in Ipswich.
They are putting all the video's together into a series of mini-episodes. Hip Hop Reality TV at it's best.... Below are the first two episodes where the guys lose a seat on the plan, Picnictyme gets put on another plane, Fishr offers to fly the plane to gain a seat & they finally arrive in England

YNR - FEEDING TIME @ THE ZOO

From what we've heard...this compilation is BANGING.... I might as well leave the press release to tell you how good it is - 

Artist: VARIOUS ARTISTS
Title: FEEDING TIME AT THE ZOO
Label: YNR PRODUCTIONS
Release Date: 25th MAY 2009

YNR Productions is undeniably one of the most respected, visited and followed sections of the zoo. With consistently amazing displays of skill and dexterity, and holding some of the most powerful gorillas in its mist, YNR has put together a hairy torso of work to show the United animal Kingdom precisely whats pooping at the zoo. 

Rare species like 
MYSTRO, JEHST, KYZA, SONNYJIM, DJ IQ, JACK FLASH, SIR SMURF LIL, THE LAST SKEPTIK, VERB T, KASHMERE, MICALL PARKNSUN and CAPPO all make their appearances with particularly fascinating and previously unheard calls of the wild. 

This collection of songs is nothing less than the sound of the wilderness, with its unkempt, dirty jungle rumbles and undeniable prowess. Don your macs, buckets of kibble and fish snacks or prepare to get fed to the lions

JEHST @ Rapsploitation Sessions Re-Cap -SOLD OUT AGAIN!



Just wanted to thank everyone for coming out to Rapsploitation Sessions last night...was a dope night. That was the quickest we've filled up the venue...was nice to see a queue outside waiting....if i weren't stressed to hell..we'd have been on our rock star shittt!!! Anyway.....

We started with a HEAP of set backs on the day...everything that could be going wrong seemed to be going wrong, but we got through it.....we unfortunately couldn't set the stage up in time due to all the stresses...but a live night was still had by all


Brotherman tore it down with Stranger & DJ Flips!!!! Brotherman is one of the dopest acts coming up so chck out his album The Light / THe Dark.

The Bodega Brovas & Diabolical Fancy all the way from Dallas USA, murdered it..... they loved the response from the crowd and told me it was one of the top shows they've done. Baring in mind they've toured the whole of the USA, the crowd really repped for ipswich and hip hop in the uk!!..Biggup your self.

Jehst then took to the stage, hitting with all the classis and the new shit.....he brought along Micall Parknsun and Jyager who were dope as hell.....What more would you expect from a Rapsploitation Sessions night?




All in all, everyone represented from the crowds to the DJ's to the performers and the graffiti outside.

Biggup everyone that came along..


On a negative note...the toilets got vandalised...people tagged it up and because of this we've had to pay to get it removed and cleaned........that shit aint cheap.........I'm sure you can respect It's hard enough to keep british hip hop nights going and these things are not helping it so if you enjoy the nights please respect the premises. We wouldn't be able to get the artists we do without the swan's help and it's highly disrespectful.


Thank you for supporting rapsploitation sessions - keep on
Shout outs to : Jehst, Micall Parknsun, DJ Jazz T, Jyager, Brotherman, DJ FLips, Stranger, Brothermans mum!, Bodega Brovas, Diabolical Fancy, Keynote, Travii The 7th, Headkrack, PicnicTyme, DJ Fisherpryce, Nero, Delano, Paulo, ill Inspired, Muddle, jimmy Green, Diddy & Damian & The Swan Staff, Shumsz, Jow, Joe Sharman, Martin Yew, Carl Best, Sam Barker, UTS Grafiti Crew and everyone who came out and partied with us - everyone had a great time/

New Brother Ali



Brother ali is one of my favourite MC's.......I'll check ANYTHING he does and throw down money for it before i pay my rent..... better know i got the bootleg cus i'm impatient but i'm going to my local independ record store..hard cash and no credit in hand to buy his new project "Truth is Here" EP.
Here's what he's label rhymesayers say about it...

Nine tracks featuring two highly sought after b-sides and seven new and previously unreleased songs including “Philistine David”, which was featured in the Jonathan Demme directed documentary, Jimmy Carter Man From Plains and “The Believer” a collaboration with Slug of Atmosphere. In addition to the new EP, The Truth Is Here also contains a full length DVD that features Brother Ali’s sold out homecoming performance during The Undisputed Truth Tour at the legendary First Avenue nightclub in Minneapolis as well as interviews, a special commentary by Brother Ali, and videos of “Take Me Home” and “Uncle Sam Goddamn” from The Undisputed Truth. The Truth Is Here captures a key period in the career of what many have called one of the most promising voices to emerge from the underground this century and will be a must have for any and every Brother Ali fan. 

Here's the trailer for the DVD..... really looking forward to watching this.

Truth - "Picadilly (Mr Officer)"




















New track up @ myspace.com/reggierhythm
"Picadilly (Mr Officer)" Prod. Truth
from the up coming 61 Grace free album.

So....
As i explained @ rapsploitation sessions february show...this is my obligatory 'f@%! the police' track..... but not really..i've had friends who are police, just as much as iv'e had friends who are/were criminals...so i respect both sides of the "hustle".....don't getit twisted, some police are fucked up..maybe more than those that are fair and genuine...but not all are....i'm not doing with stereotyping or labeling collective ideas on a certain "group" or people......

However...i do not like the harassment i've experienced from police...i mean, yeh sure, if i got a bomb on me...you're a hero...but from my point of view, it's fucking embarassing to be stoped and searched in a public place when i'm a righteous MOTHERFUCKER.

So this track derives from a certain incident that happened a couple summers ago @ picadilly train station in manchester (shouts to deepo, the graduate & jun tzu, the bomber..)....an incident that since has repeated itself several times.

hope you enjoy the joint...oh it's produced by me also...so..beats n shit.....ha.

Peace
Truth

The Colony - "New Rules"

New video from UK Hip Hop supergroup The Colony - "New Rules" Prod. Conspicuous of the groups upcoming album, planned for a summer release.

You might spot a lil cameo from myself in there if you're eyes are sharp enough....i've heard some cuts of the album, and its gunna be RIDICULOUS....bring a really fresh sound to the table...

"Dead Man Running" Trailer ft. 50 Cent

Now, i'm neither a 50 cent lover or hater...i think he's made a few decent tunes, at the same time, i think his general output is garbage. However i do hold respect to him for his beat choice (shouts to sha money).
Anyway, here's his new film trailer which doens't look too bad.....it's a british film co-starring danny "i'm danny farking dyer" dyer & ashley walters. On some proper, london-gangsta flick which we all love.

Looking forward to it dropping...i'll definately check it (on a bootlegg download probably).

Dwele - Workinonit Video

I bumped this song CONTINUOUSLY when i got the newest Dwele album. And now his done a super-low budget video to his Dilla tribute song.......

The video's concept isn't as good as the songs, but i'ts dope just to see some visuals thrown together for the song, and it's another video in a string of low-budget, DIY, net only videos.

New Suspect Packages Radio Show

Disorda needs no introduction - his work & his site pretty much carry the UK hip hop scene when it comes to selling product and deserves all the props he gets, and some more that he doesn't.

Monday 23 February 2009

Dilla Orchestra..

So, we at rapsploitation sessions are no different from any other modern music lover in the respect that we love the work of J Dilla.
Recently, Carlos Nino & Miguel Atwood Ferguson leaked two mp3s of orchestral arrangements of classic dilla tunes (Nag Champa & Fall in Love) on the net and has followed it up by producing a full EP called "Suite for Ma Dukes".
Recently his orchestra got together to perform classic and obscure dilla productions & tracks to an exclusive live audience. Here's a short clip (props to thelipstickdiaries.com) from the performance featuring cameo's from Posdnous, Talib Kweli, Illa J, Ma Dukes, House Shoes, Kariem Riggins, Amp Fiddler and many more i'm sure were in attendance on the night.
Apparently there was a film crew, so fingers crossed they are planning to release a DVD of the whole night.

Louis Den Presents.... Behind Closed Doors DVD Magazine

The long awaited DVD-Magazine from the hub of online beat makers, louisden.com , is almost finally here.
The release date is 23rd March 2009 and features some of the dopest beatmakers in the UK. Available worldwide and created by Prolifik (youtube.com/ab0181) & kosyne (www.myspace.com/kosyne), it's something you'll definately want to check out....stay tuned to www.louisden.com.

Rapsploitation Sessions 2nd Birthday with Chester P!

Happy Birthday To Rapsploitation Sessions!
Since it was our birthday, we had to do it big style, and what better else to have the promoter (hi, haters) performing and support one of UK Hip Hop's legends in Chester P...he brought along with him another legend in these parts (i could name 100 people i know who got into uk hip hop through the ten pound bag mixtapes) louis slipperz, and inja, from the cambridge collective Delegates of Culture!
Since Rapsploitation Sessions is big in the game - we off course sold out of tickets and had to turn a lot of people away. A few of you have good blag games and got in, because rapsploitation sessions respect the gift of the gab.

It was a great party had by all....Chester P KILLED IT, but i don't need to tell you that.....the guys a legend.

Thanks to the whole crew, Billy Bollox, Jimmy Green, Paulo, Muddle, Damian & Swan Staff, Chester Inja, Louis Slipperz, Shumsz and everyone who came, new heads & rapsploitaton sessions veterans...the next one will be even bigger!
