Boombox Saintz & Jahpan – “Front on This”

YouTube Preview Image

Boombox makes you wanna do the doo-wopp! This sweet colaboration from Providences’ self proclaimed against the grain, Boombox Saintz with  Jahpan mos def makes me wanna bounce-bounce!  Jahpans’ testiment to travel far and wide to take Federal Hill to the top is definetly represented with this 401 colab. Not only does this song have a high energy, positive feelling fresh flow, but this video is pretty dope as well. This video has a thermagraphic feel to it that is pretty darned fresh if you ask me!! Its nice to see a video with a different direction, rather than all that complacency that is kicken’ around these days. Way to switch it up guys. We look forward to the next.

My Hip Hop Weekend

Two Shows In Two Nights. Monkey Business at the AS220. Special Teamz at The Living Room. Mortal comes out of hiding.

1.19.08 - Special Teamz @ The Living Room - Rhode Island

Rhode Island hip hop was in full effect this past weekend. I attended two shows. While attending hip hop shows seems like a natural activity for a self proclaimed hip hop fan, the fact that I have not been “out” in over six months makes this a monumental occasion … at least for me.

This write up won’t be so much a full blown review of each event. It will be more of a bunch of mini reviews peppered with scathing criticism, bordering on slander, of the Rhode Island Hip Hop scene as a whole. So sit back. Relax. Grab a tall, ice cold glass of grape Hater-Aid and enjoy.
