Here is the video of the emcee battle between Marshall Law and Flawless at the November 13th Elevation. Pardon the footage, we are still trying to find the best angle to document the event. This battle was dope regardless. Both emcees really brought their A game! The crowd decided that Marshall Law won the battle. What do you think? Who won?

Elevation – October Recap w/ Photos

Open Mic

Live hip-hop and an audience of smiling faces are rarely seen together nowadays, especially here in Rhode Island. That said; I can’t recall the last time a featured artist kicked off an evening wearing sun-tanning goggles. Romen Rok did exactly that while onstage at Friday night’s Elevation and set the tone for what went on to be an enjoyable, successful open mic night at Firehouse XIII.

Thanks to Rock Solid, who did a fine job of hosting as well as blessing the mic, and Sterby Rock performing scratchutory rape on the tables, the night continued on – and finished – without a moment of silence. Courtesy of some newer names (at least to myself), including Boudy, Wor Paint and Vendetta, and a few of the more recognizable rhyme-slingers, HW, Big City and Mic Feen, the open mic was nicely kept in balance and did a fine job of showcasing the aptitude of our locals.

For everyone who has been waiting to re-live the battle between Sneaky Pete and Marshall Law, I got some good news and some bad news. Here is the battle for you to enjoy. But the bad news is thats its only the audio. The lighting in The Living Room is not the best. So the footage is blurry at best. The audio is clean so I figured fuck it. The only thing you miss is the Carrot Top prop work of Sneaky Pete as he puts on a pair of white sun glasses when he says “I’ll Be Kanye West”. So Listen. Enjoy and sound off on who you thought was the winner. What was your favorite punch lines?

Who Is Next?

Who\'s Next

Since Marshall Law jumped on the scene on Sunday March 30th, He has destroyed all Competition. He has beaten RI superstars 8th Wundah, Knux, and Najas, as well as the up and coming star, Raise at the Battle Royal at The Living Room. Then he stomped (literally) into The Audio Liquor’s Brawl and defeated Raise for the second time. Just recently he smashed Sneaky Pete at the BF 10 Year Anniversary Show. So the question needs to be asked … WHO’s NEXT?

Marshall is ready to defend the title. Friday May 30th @ The AS220. Is there anyone out there that can de-throne the current champ? Anyone want to accept the challenge? Who would you want to see Marshall battle? Let make it happen!

A Night Of Champions! Real Talk

Friday May 16th was a milestone for me. It was a show to celebrate my 10 years of promoting and contributing to the Rhode Island Hip Hop scene. It was also a benchmark to my relationship with the community. I am about to say something that will not come as a shock to anyone. People involved in this local hip hop scene act funny. I was fully prepared to write a scathing article calling out people who I thought were being more dumb than usual. But you know what? All promotions are good promotions, so instead I will just give my love and respect to those who went out of their way to help this event be a success. Those who rose to the occasion and became champions for the night. Those that helped make this night special. So Here I go: (more…)
