Greetings Hip Hop Nation:

Click link below for Event Daily Activities for the Universal Zulu Nation 35th Anniversary. Do browse the website which contain various interviews with Afrika Bambaata, YouTube's of Soul Sonic Force, a great article written by Mr. DaveyD. Do Bring a friend to the event and experience various B-Boy/B-Girl & DJ Battles in the Birth Place of this Hip Hop Culture, THE BRONX. The Temple of Hip Hop & The Stop the Violence Team & Rock Steady will be in the Building!. Various Hip Hop Vendors will be on site. This 4-Day event will take place at various venues, so do make note on your calendars. The Universal Zulu Nation has been working tirelessly to put this awesome program together. I had the honor of attending last years anniversary in which I was so blown away--it was my first time attending. To experience Hip Hop Legends like Grand Wizard Theodore, scratching & mixing WITH A BLIND FOLD ON! How in the world can you DJ with a blindfold on??? I had read about Grand Wizard's skills in BlackDot's book "Hip Hop Decoded," but to see it in person, was absolutely mind blowing. So I highly recommend those who can attend, do come and do bring the Youth who need to meet Great Legends of Hip Hop Like Afrika Bambaata, Grand Wizard Theodore, Grand Master Caz, Whodini, Chuck D, PopMaster Fabel, etc. These cats are not just Hip Hop Icons you see in Hip Hop documentaries, they still walk amongst us!

Blastmaster Confronts Fake Deejays

Waking up the underground right now is a single on DJ Revolution's new project King of the Decks. Other's as well have been inquiring about the song above ground. The song is called 'The Deejay', On it KRS ONE "goes completely in" according to artist Bow Wow . The cut is a straight forward challenge to deejays to express their skillz and not fall off for the money. The Teacha, goes in saying, "When KRS comes to spit, them deejays wit no breaks, I don't even wanna hear that shit. The radio, I can't even bear that shit...they no longer fans of it. They wanna use it, so they can get a grand and shit. The program directors handin em scripts, make em play whack shit and lie from they lips...you're job is to break new records...seemless mixes, blends undetected."

Hi all,

We're digital designers/artists, and are working on a project about
Hip Hop in the Bronx. We're marking significant locations in the
neighborhood with posters that have rhymes printed on them. The rhymes
convey the details of that site - that Afrika Bambaataa played parties
in the PS 63 school yard, for example. And, the posters invite people
to respond with their own rhymes by TXT message. We are then archiving
these rhymes and displaying them on a website.

So - we need  rhymes! If you're interested in the project, and want to
contribute rhymes, please let us know. We'll tag the rhyme with your
name, so you'll get credit and exposure. Please contact Masha at
ioveva@....

We hope to hear from you!

sol camps major hit single debut "shes a g" free track

Whats up im hitting you up to bring you Sol Camps debut single "shes a g". This

song is already gaining ground being played on radio stations in Arizona Texas

New Mexico and all over the internet. click here to check out the song which is

a sound that will put Southwest latino hip hop on the hip hop radar.

off the "es oh el" album

sol camp bio

Arizona is known for being the hottest state in the country. That is why

it is no surprise that the hottest up and coming hip hop group resides in the

Valley of the Sun. El Campo del Sol, SOL CAMP, is taking over the city like a

fire storm. SOL CAMP is a group of Latino MC�s working to put Phoenix on the map

in the hip hop community. The group consists of 6 Members who were doing things
independently before joining talent and becoming what is now known as SOL CAMP.

The group members are Mav, Chino D, B-Staks, Skunk One, Dj Vilin, and Sal. Each

camp member brings their own unique style to the table, and together they have

created a sound that is envied throughout the hip hop community. They are a force

to be reckoned with in the ever evolving hip hop industry. With the recent
explosion of Latino MC�s emerging, there is no doubt that SOL CAMP is one of the

best additions yet. After joining forces in late 2005, they compiled some hits

and put out their first mix tape in less than a week. With the release of the

first mix tape, SOL CAMP created a major buzz in the Phoenix Hip Hop world and

received much love from major radio stations Power 98.3 and Latino
Vibe 95.1. SOL CAMP was requested to do several radio drops for the DJs,

promotions for various events, and was later added to the rotation with their hit

singles. With the fast as fire popularity, on May 5, 2006, SOL CAMP dropped their

2nd mix tape, "THE FUTURE NOW MIXTAPE VOL 2" and received rave reviews from

various hip hop publications. SOUTHWESTHIPHOP.COM dubbed them as "Arizona's
Terror Squad". SOL CAMP has had the privilege of performing with some leaders in

the hip hop industry and well respected emcees. Too Short, Ludacris, KRS-ONE,

Lil� Rob, Pitbull, Devin the dude, Omar Cruz, Nina Sky, Joell Ortiz, Chingo

Bling, and Mack 10 are only a handful of the acts that SOL CAMP has been on the

bill with. That experience has allowed the camp to master their skills and record

some of their best work yet. Keeping true to the city that brought them together,

SOL CAMP is always working to put Phoenix on the map. Most recently, they were

responsible for making Phoenix the runner up in MTV�s My Block competition which

aired on mtv and mtv2. SOL CAMP members were promoting the series by doing local

television and radio interviews. SOL CAMP also had cameos in KRS ONE'S new video

powerHouse Books is pleased to announce the release of

Do Not Give Way to Evil:
Photographs of the South Bronx, 1979 -1987
By Lisa Kahane

A Miss Rosen Edition

The Bronx had almost stopped burning by 1979. The intensity and extent of the devastation permeated the landscape. It was an awesome mess, not just another neighborhood, but another realm, visible but incomprehensible. The Bronx came undone in a confluence of unfortunate circumstances: the life cycle of community, rampant city planning, economic change, racism, poverty, failed hopes, drugs, crime, abandonment, counterproductive government response. It was destroyed for profit. The entire story has yet to be told.

A friend suggested to photographer Lisa Kahane that she record it for a time when it would be a memory, which was then impossible to imagine. The ruins of the immediate past overwhelmed any idea of a future. Ironically, Kahane had a good time in the Bronx. People smiled and said, "Throw me a photo!" Few objected to having their picture taken and no one tried to take her camera away. They wanted their story told. Any discomfort the camera might inflict was nothing compared to what they'd endured.

The result, Do No Give Way to Evil: Photographs of the South Bronx, 1979-1987, is an extraordinary document of devastation and rejuvenation, as Kahane records the first seeds of rebuilding. Throughout this desolate world, the people live alongside abandoned buildings and debris-strewn lots, carrying on their business with civic pride. Though the buildings may be ghosts of their former selves, the spirit of the people holds strong.

With an essay by Peter Frank and text by the photographer, John Ahearn, CRASH, DAZE, Jane Dickson, Stefan Eins, John Fekner, Joe Lewis, SHARP and Rigoberto Torres.

ABOUT LISA KAHANE: Lisa Kahane, a working photographer for over 25 years, specializes in documentary work and portraiture. She publishes worldwide in trade and consumer magazines, newspapers and books. A native New Yorker, educated at Barnard College, Columbia University and The New York Studio School, she has worked on location in western and eastern Europe and Central and South America. During the 90's she photographed the impact the wars in Yugoslavia had on ordinary lives. In addition to solo shows depicting art and culture in New York City in the 80's, her work was included in The Downtown Show at The Grey Art Gallery, featured in Urban Mythologies at the Bronx Museum and included in documentation for The American Century at The Whitney Museum. Her photographs are in private collections as well as the permanent collection of the New York Public Library, the Fales Library at NYU and the Library of Congress. With support from the Hudson River Museum and a private foundation, she runs a photography workshop for kids at risk.

Crotona Park East, 1982. Between 1970 and 1981,
the Bronx lost over 100,000 apartments.

Talent, 1981. ZEPHYR, LEE, LADY PINK,
DAZE, DONDI, LALI, FUTURA 2000 & more.

Falsas Promesas, 1980. Two of many stencils by
artist, John Fekner done in NYC in the 1980's.

For my two cents, this is a great movie! I saw it last year at the Atlanta Hip Hop Film Festival where it took home the award for best feature length documentary. If you have a chance go see this film. It follows two guys as they try to put together the first hip hop festival in Morocco. Several well known Moroccan hip hop acts are also followed closely and it really gives you a great sense of how their culture and hip hop culture butt heads. Some very dope music as well (which I have yet to track down…).

Here is a great article about the film: http://www.worldhiphopmarket.com/blog/?p=30

Here’s an excerpt of the review I did for the ATL hip hop film fest: http://www.worldhiphopmarket.com/blog/?p=24

“Finally we watched a very well produced film called I Love Hip Hop in Morocco. The film followed DJ Key and Josh the American as they spent six months planning a free three day hip hop festival, in three cities, on three days, called I Love Hip Hop in Morocco. Each city was headlined by a well known local group, and two were heavily featured: H-Kayne and Fnaire, both groups who rapped in Arabic, as well as Brown Fingaz, a Marrakech MC who raps in English, and Mot de Passe, a male-female duo who rap in French.

The conservative Muslim culture of Morocco was presented as even more oppressive than Turkey’s. Two topics you were never to speak about were religion and the king. There was no freedom of speech. Cursing was frowned upon. At one point, several of the rappers seemed seriously worried when their friend was speaking negatively about the king and the government. One promoter told a story of 14 rock musicians who were imprisoned for a year simply for performing hard rock music. Rappers repeated made statements that the common people in Morocco did not have anything. They said they write raps in double meanings and hidden messages to avoid government problems. However, they claimed that if they had money like American artists, they would probably also rap about girls.

Perhaps the strongest moment of the film came from Fati Show, the female half of Mot de Passe. People yelled “you should be ashamed” when she walked down the street with her rhyme partner. And at the show, the crowd booed her when she walked on stage. She told them she didn’t care, then proceeded to tear up the beat with her lyrics. And the crowd came to its feet and cheered her loudly when she was done. Effecting change, fo sho.’

Peace.

If you have logged into World Hip Hop Market in the last few weeks you might have encountered some strange graffiti, and not the hip hop type. My site seems to be the dumping grounds for a bevy of hackers – many from Turkey for some reason – including ChiLekeSH, DarKhack3R, The.Bilen, KanunSuZ, and Lord Voldemort (no relation to Harry Potter). One of them even tagged “Turkish Hip Hop Rules!” Despite my own feeble efforts to clean up their mess, their flurry of hidden text, tags and Trojans culminated a few days ago with the deletion of my entire product database and hijacking my images folder for malevolent purposes. Google has temporarily delisted my blog and my ISP has frozen my images folder.

So, until further notice, the “Where in the World is Hip Hop?” blog will be the default for the site (since that was mostly untouched). I am taking this as an opportunity to rebuild World Hip Hop Market (and secure it better) so a new design is forthcoming. To all the artists who I am selling your products, I apologize for the hiccup in listings and I will work to get your products back online as soon as I can. I am also looking for someone who can help me design and implement the site, so give me a holler if you know anyone that can help (experience with osCommerce and Wordpress would be wonderful).

I’ll be updating the blog as I can (look for more frequent updates in August). I promise the site will be back bigger and better than ever.

Peace.

Lorraine Reid: How Can I Keep Him Lovin' Me?
A Review by Mark Kirby

Over a decade ago, rappers Chuck D and Public Enemy asked,
"Who Stole the Soul?" Today, after Christina Aguilera's R&B-infused
Back To Basics double CD and the Amy Winehouse soul explosion, the
real question is, "Who stole it back?" Part of the answer can be found in
Lorraine Reid's single "How Can I Keep Him Lovin' Me?"

It always comes as a surprise when I hear a modern R&B singer who has
both the pipes to belt out with intensity and the good taste to let the song
tell the story, choosing to not over-saturate a classic melody with vocal
gymnastics. Reid dazzles her listeners with the perfect balance of vocals,
just like the classic soul, rock and pop singers did back in the day. This
timeless track by the Canadian, 7-time Juno nominee would fit right in
with the best of soul and funk in any age.

"How Can I Keep Him Lovin' Me?" begins to amaze listeners with its
instrumentals -- the keyboard starts with mellow soul chords and is
followed by gently plucked guitar and sparse bass that flows with
restrained energy even while in ballad mode. The drums play a beat
that has previously anchored old pop and soul songs as well as bawdy
stripper show tunes; it's a beat that is part-waltz, part-easy-going phat
back groove. While this stew is bubbling, Ms. Reid tells the story: "No
more than 15 but grown before her time / This young girl was seekin'
love from men who would dim the lights / How can I keep him lovin'
me? / Here she was still seeking love / it was no where to be found."
Aside from the modern beat of the drums and the contemporary soul
sound, the track is undeniably old school because it deals with real people
and real-life issues, concepts that are often lost in mainstream music today.

The sales of R&B records -- as with those of hip-hop and most other
genres -- continue to slump. Illegal downloads aside, the vast majority
of these records deal with unattainable fantasies of sex, glamour, white
linen suits and matching Bentleys. People who have just been laid off,
had their benefits run out, or their home foreclosed don't want to hear
about such lavish topics. And they can't even afford to buy overpriced
CDs, anyway. That's why real people, especially women, like Mary J. Blige's
tales of being a survivor. Like Blige, Reid tells a tale of survival and, like
the best soul and gospel singers, past and present, she goes beyond this
simple tale: "At 22, a mom of two, but she was still a child / Her mama's
advice to her was a message meek and mild / what this baby boy sees in
you I tried my whole life to find / so dry your tears, my baby girl, you're
lookin' at piece of mind." Throughout the song, Reid's vocals follow the
lyrics and melody on a rollercoaster of emotion, saving the soaring peaks
of her sweet yet powerful voice for the pinnacles of the song, especially the
last lines. By the end of "How Can I Keep Him Lovin' Me?", the sadness becomes
both redemption and a spiritual epiphany -- all because of the power of love.
Now ain't that what soul music is all about?

Frienemies:

This event will bring an underground event to crown 1 B-boy/1 B-girl as the BEST. Each one has to represent the most effectively throughout the day in a STRICTLY CIPHER driven event.

Frienemies is about representing in the ciphers. Every B-boy and B-girl is on their own! No preset battles. In the early to mid 80’s, breaking was at an all time high throughout the world. Crews were rolling thick and a lot of them were at peace. The only time they didn't get along was when it was time to battle in the club. Rock Steady Crew and New York City Breakers were going to places like Negril, The Roxy, Kennedy High School and other places where jams

were going down. No one was worried about hurting someone’s feelings or concerned with battling their own friends, but rather battled with a fierce will to win. We were all "FRIENEMIES". ‘Frienemies” is the place to battle that person that you chill with on a regular basis and show him/her that they’re not as good as they brag about all the time.

Peace to all my global hip hop heads around the world!

If you are into soccer (football/futbol/voetbal) like I am, then you are probably following the 2008 European Championships in Austria & Switzerland. So this newsblast is in honor of the tournament. (Condolences to those in England…)

NETHERLANDS – The Dutch team is my favorite (non-US) team and they are looking awesome this summer! And my men Baba Israel and Yako 440 will be touring Netherlands and Czech Republic over the next couple of weeks with legendary Australian emcee Morganics. The 11-day tour starts TODAY (June 12^th) in Amsterdam, then goes on to Prague and elsewhere. Check the schedule at http://www.myspace.com/subphonikforces and if you want to hook up with them, email baba@.... They are an ill hip hop crew with massive talent in beatboxing and freestyle (in fact, Baba was featured in the movies Freestyle and Breath Control). They have just re-released their amazing album Beatbox Dub Poetics and finished their video for “Runnin Outta Time” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuN1n74npLE). They will also be in UK in August for Process 08, a hip hop theatre festival (http://www.breakingcycles.co.uk/).

PORTUGAL – The first team through to the second round after dismantling Russia and Czech Republic. Yow! Well, I was blessed to see Portugese superstar Sam the Kid and his entourage rock the show at the Trinity International Hip Hop Festival in March. He told me that Portugese hip hop is barely known outside of Portugal, but he was part of an amazing European group called Diversidad Experience (http://www.myspace.com/diversidadexperience). French producer Spike Miller put together an all star European lineup to promote European unity. It included Sam the Kid and DJ Cruzfader (Portugal), Promoe (Sweden), Curse (Germany), Akhenaton and Skurik’n of IAM (France), Abd Al Malik (France), Mikk Furie (France), Baloji (Belgium) and Noora Noor (Norway) and Mucho Muchacho of 7 Notas 7 Colores (Spain). Download the single and video free on their MySapce site. If that’s noit enough, they are having a festival at the end of June in Vienna which will include everyone listed PLUS the entire Looptroop Rockers (Sweden), the entire 7 Notas 7 Colores (Spain), Texta (Austria’s biggest group), Waxolutionists (Austrian turntablist crew), my man DJ Cut-Ex (Austria), Porta (Spain) and Colle De Fomento (Italy).
