Dope new track from the artist you all love repping Providence, RI.  Big City Bumpus breaks down how the last year has been to him and how it truly feels to be a emcee in a digital era. *401hiphop.com Exclusive!*

Here is the November edition of the highly anticipated podcast from the monthly open mic called Elevation. This month’s Elevation was also the record release party for Jahpan and his new album “An Album Called Life”. Jah came thru with Pistol Pone, Troop Raw, and Lord Willin and burned the stage down. You can check out his whole set and see why they call him the Prince of Providence.

Marshall Law returned to defend his emcee battle championship against a worthy competitor in Flawless (Realtalk). Can Marshall stay undefeated or will the young Flawless unseat the champ? Tune in and find out!

The open mic was stacked with talented local emcees: Pulugah the Phenom, Jauz the Everliving King, Limits of Control, Russian Roulette, Danny Def Star, Scribblenauts, K.I.T., Classic, Raise, Diamond, Wor Paint, Prov, ABC, and Ready Inc. After the open mic, Vendetta and Big City Bumpas rocked 15 mins set. It’s all her for your listening pleasure.

Elevation is a monthly Open Mic / Hip Hop Showcase. Its also a monthly Podcast. We are proud to debut the first official Elevation Podcast. William Javier recorded the open mic, emcee battles, our features performers, and the cypher. He edited it down to one hour and nineteen minutes of pure Rhode Island hip hop audio goodness.

The Elevation podcast is hosted by Rock Solid. The beats are provided by Sterby Rock and William Javier (except when emcee brought their their own beats). The show features performances by: Rock Solid, Romen Rok, Wor Paint, HW, Vendetta, Boudy, Mic Feen, Big City Bumpus, Reason, Dirty Hank, Marshall Law, Science, Casper and CasUno.

Big City Bumpus is an impressive performer. This talented emcee smashed it on and offstage. He was able to capture the audience immediately. I’ve listened to other tracks from this gifted performer and noted a consistency in his impeccable style and lyrics. This is another emcee that I look forward to listening to in our future Elevation events.
