Since this website is infested with clowns, I thought I’d write a little something about local cats actually DOING something instead of internet politicking. Below are a few free jewels by 401 music makers that need to be heard.
BOOMBOX SAINTZ
The duo of Troopraw and Lordwillin’ have joined forces to create the Boombox Saints, and have released a fucking dope mixtape, which you can cop HERE. This shit is uncut hip-hop at it’s finest. Check it and learn something.
The Boombox Saintz will also be performing with the legendary BLACK SHEEP on February 27th at Jerky’s in Providence. Make sure to check it out!
FEDD HILL
You can imagine how souped I was to find a myspace bulletin this morning concerning free Fedd Hill music. I was even more pumped to see six mixtapes’ worth of it! Hop over here (the only kink is that you’ll have to make a datpiff account, but it’s worth it) and cop a multitude of Fedd Hill tunes, including a few entries of the RI classic Federal Reserve Notes series. Who said giving away music was for chumps again?
FALSIDE
The beat tape is a West Coast staple, but it’s so rare to see any on the East Coast…I guess it’s because all anyone gives a fuck about out here is shouting into the mic about their egos. Falside doesn’t, and his beat tape, Unadulterated Concentration, is dope. Falside’s been quietly making moves with artists like Vast Aire and C-Rayz Walz while you yell about all the shit you’re GOING to be doing. Stop sleeping and cop the mixtape here , or go to Falside’s myspace page (www.myspace.com/falside) and cop the multitude of other free joints he’s got hanging out there.
DJ SARAH PALIN
Who the fuck is this? Who cares! All you need to know is that DJ Sarah Palin is local and that this joint is free. I Wish I Could Suck God’s Dick is a collection of very dope tracks from artists all over the place, put together like a schizophrenic 2 year old did it. Cop it here and see what’s going down.
And not to shamelessly self-promote or anything, but my project with jonwayne (www.myspace.com/jawnwayne) called The Last Pokemen will be releasing a free joint entitled Digdeep very soon. All the beats feature classic 8-bit video game samples flipped like pancakes, so cop it and try to guess where they’re from – I bet you won’t be able to. Keep your eyes peeled!
(And by the way, if anyone has anything of value to post here, please e-mail me at jotsone@gmail.com and I’ll post it up. What’s value? I’ll be the judge of that.)

sneakypete says:
uh yeah, I did wear a yellow tank-top and crocs
cuz it was a theme party called “Beach Bash”
..it’s called having a sense of humor.
you may also recall we had over 80 paying customers
3 Deejayz and SCION sponsor
so yeah, that’s how I roll.

hw says:
I will be the first to go on record and say sneaky pete can put on a show.
But SBO can put on a show and Murder a set.
+1 for SBO
February 22, 2009 at 8:25 pm
sneakypete says:
have u even seen the show i put on a stage HW?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyHf9oFA0LM
SBo got a good local following i aint taking nothing away from him
but he aint Fukin with Sneak on a stage.
February 22, 2009 at 8:31 pm
sbo says:
sorry i dont have clips from 6 years ago… cause i was still in grade school… and you were the only one ” in the theme” and u burned meta p also kid… u spent all that promo money on the show and then didnt bring more then 2, 3 people with you…. yes i know the details..we brought half the crowd… come on man… u really think u on my ” stage level.. you got some ok old clips with the live band” that probally would make any1 look good” … but honestly u not fuckin with me on stage or tracks.. MINUS 1 FOR SNEAK .. HE OWNS CROCS….
February 22, 2009 at 8:35 pm
sneakypete says:
dude to even compare urself to me is laughable
you should get ur facts staight
February 22, 2009 at 8:41 pm
Jots says:
i saw dante the voice live once, but then i found out it was really a sneaky pete set
February 22, 2009 at 8:47 pm
sneakypete says:
That’s right. Dante aka the most energetic performer in RI
often backs me up. That should tell u suhn about my shows right there.
February 22, 2009 at 9:00 pm
Jots says:
i wouldn’t exactly say ‘backs you up’…
more like ‘makes you fade into the background’
February 22, 2009 at 9:14 pm
sneakypete says:
fine. call it how u see it.
I really could give a fuckless what any of yall think.
and I’m sorry if i been the Simon Cowell of 401hiphop
how could i have been so cruel
i mean really, how could i expect any of you amateurs to measure up.
You don’t have videos or albums or any exposure outside RI
so it’s not fair to use myself as the bar for judging.
February 22, 2009 at 9:49 pm
Jots says:
cause if you go out of state and say the name sneaky pete they know EXACTLY who you’re talkin’ about!

Rap is out of control.
February 22, 2009 at 10:05 pm
Phillip Morrez says:
Seriously?
Incredible….
+1 for SBO.
Not only because I’ve been a part of those crowd moving sets on occasion but also because I’ve seen a sneaky pete set then a sbo set back to back or vise versa.
Pete im not honestly tryna take anything away from you but sbo & neysean for instance, are working at becoming something. It seems to me like you had your shot. Your 15 minutes was spent at a wemix event with luda. End of disscusion.
Sbo puts a better show on and that’s the bottom line.
February 22, 2009 at 10:21 pm
sneakypete says:
and that’s Your opinion so it MUST BE THE TRUTH
you’re not biased or anything, no of course not.
February 23, 2009 at 12:10 am
sbo says:
sneaky… u know me… and i really am not the type to start hating for no reason… which i dont.. but you calling our comparrison laughable.. honestly… i have been doing shows for maybe 2 years if that…and still have rocked more crowds then you.. that doesnt make u a bad artist… and for you to call us… unknown… i have had atleast 15 tracks that have been spinning in france and uk… yea your not the only one with ” hook ups” and yes i got my facts straight homie.. please get yours straight… All i was asking was if people would like to voice there opinion on who does a better set.. please continue to do the simon cowell thing… i like truth.. i am just speaking mine
February 23, 2009 at 12:15 am
Phillip Morrez says:
take it for what it is.
biased or unbiased thats gonna be the final answer.
by the way i speak truth, i dont preach it.
February 23, 2009 at 12:36 am
sneakypete says:
Dude. u’ve been rocking shows for 2 years now…need i say more?
You don’t even have a tenth of my stage experience and trust me…it shows.
You really don’t want to compare resumes with me, not even in the last two years.
But like i said. believe what u want. Pay to Play as much as you want.
and NO, u don’t have ur facts straight at all… but neither am I gonna
keep naming names on here cuz it serves no purpose.
But you can stop asking me to collab now I know how u really feel.

Jots says:
watching a 401 argument from the sidelines for once is actually pretty entertaining
February 23, 2009 at 1:42 am
sbo says:
the point was … in two years i have outshined u… your good… just not like me… and get your facts straight on the collab..YOU sent me a beat .. not the other way man… TALENT OUT SHINES ” EXPERIENCE ” EVERY TIME… i payed to play once… brought 50 plus heads… and made a few hundred… how much have u made on rap? ohhhh i see… keep spending hundreds on flyers/ commercials to make back nothing… yes i know that as a fact… so u staright? SO… what sneaky pete thinks is… if a wack rapper does it for 20 years he is better then a more talented young mc…. wow that seems wrong no ?
February 23, 2009 at 1:44 am
hw says:
welcome to my world jots.
February 23, 2009 at 1:45 am
sbo says:
honestly by the time i reach your ” expierence ” i hope im not losing money on hiphop and putting out cd’s every 7 years….. keep your fan happy on that 7th year though
February 23, 2009 at 9:34 am
sneakypete says:
1nce again u need to get ur facts straight.
I put out a mixtape in 2004
and I release out singles, videos and produce shows
If you even still in the game 7 years from now
come talk to me.
You kept insisting taking shots at me from the internet
wasn’t ur bag. that’s funny cuz it’s exactly what u did.
February 23, 2009 at 9:57 am
sbo says:
actually asked you to call me before you posted shit if youy had something to say… if i need to give u my number again here it is
401 662 6121 please feel freee…. i only respond to what u say… when you call our comparison laughable… that would be taking shots… wasnt it you who said” lets give em something to talk about.. i thought i would entertain you.. sorry u got your fealings hurt in the process..I GUESS YOU CANT TAKE THE SAME CRITICISM YOU LOVE HANDING OUT
February 23, 2009 at 9:59 am
sneakypete says:
“if a wack rapper does it for 20 years he is better then a more talented young mc…. ”
first of all. Talent is about aptitude–ur only argument is that
because you are younger than me
you THINK you have the “potential” to outshine me but you won’t.
you’ve been GASSED UP. We had a conversation face to face
about working smarter rather than harder.
I’m talking to about current value and experience here.
I’ve already done the mixtape thing. EVERYONE’S done the mixtape thing… to death.
I’m droppin muthafukn gems here
but ur too “fresh” to even know what you don’t know.
So yes, it is laughable that you would compare your 2 year career
to everything i’ve invested and accomplished in the last 15.
You’re right about one thing though…I’m def not like you.
February 23, 2009 at 10:09 am
sbo says:
true…your not i left my number.. im sorry but mc’s who spit for that long and who are not ” on ” are considered washed up… where im from.. which im not even calling you… i remember those convos…. and trust me.. you think my ” myspace music ” is what i do then you really need to get your own opinions straight because you got no idea… not even worth posting on here… like i said call me.. because i remember a lot of those conversations and what you told me.. and im not even going to go there on here because it is really nobody’s business.. and it has nothing to do with my age homie.. so dont try to out wit the shit you were talking about me… last sneaky pete related post unless he trys to talk shit about what I DO..facts are facts
February 23, 2009 at 10:42 am
sneakypete says:
“on” ? oh you mean “signed” ?
Do you even know these words mean?
Do yourself a favor and pick up a book.
Can you even talk about publishing/licensing/ownership/copyrights etc?
February 23, 2009 at 10:57 am
sneakypete says:
With this I rest my case as well.
You think it’s black and white… either I “make it big” (Like Kanye) or… “I’m washed up”
But You have NO CLUE about an ENTIRE WORLD of independent artists/labels
that survive/thrive within a niche market. Many I’m sure You (and I) have never even heard of. And they work day jobs and they don’t drive a Lexus but
they also tour across the US and Europe and make a decent profit and that takes more
than a hot shot attitude and 30 local fans. It takes planning and teamwork.
February 23, 2009 at 11:52 am
sbo says:
see you continue to talk shit homie… i know all about it.. i would of said singed if thats what i ment.. all my music is copywritten… and i work with alot of people who deal with licensing and ownership so once again dont assume just because of my age that i am not smart with what i do… i work full time.. and make profits off hiphop… i also got 2 kids fam so its not as easy for me to pack up and book tours with teams… trust me just because i dont brag doesnt mean i dont have shit in the works…all i follow is underground indie labels my dewd…i dont mind your opinion but if it is going to do anything with me Call me.. is that so hard to keep me out of it with online post… or give me your number jeeze
February 23, 2009 at 12:58 pm
Phillip Morrez says:
“It seems that some local hip hop artists still haven’t received the notice that the concept of “pay-to-play†is an outdated, exploitative scam used by lazy promoters to take advantage of desperate artists.
Lemme break it down fuhyaz:
1)I Hire a washed-up 90’s rapper to headline a show
(probly cost me about a grand)
2)I sell opening slots to five local rappers.
3)Now my headliner is paid for but wait…
Even better, these local rappers now do MY JOB FOR ME and
start BRAGGING about the “BIG SHOW†they get to perform at.
So All I have to do for promotion is post a flyer on myspace then sit back and make ALL THE MONEY from the ridiculously over-priced tix sales.”
Wait. Was that aimed at Challz?
Who are your friends pete?
Dude. Seriously, your so amped about your 40 somethin years of experience that youve forgotten who your talking too and who your talking about.
You are just as local as the rest of us, and yea u can hate on me and say my opinion is meaningless if u like. I have come to realize that you are mainly an internet bully who trys to use your experience as leverage. The problem with this situation is, youre not advancing yourself, youre making yourself look silly.
