Raekwon (Rock The Bells 2010)

I had hoped to write something about Only Built 4 Cuban Linx Pt. I & II along with something about the whole Wu-Tang and Snoop Dogg actually, but I kind of ran out of time before the show.  Maybe I i'll write them later but knows, Wu-Tang and Snoop are 2 of the acts i'm looking most forward to seeing as they were pretty ...

Clipse (Rock The Bells 2010)

I'm not even sure if the Clipse are still performing at Rock The Bells, but since I have been a fan of them since they're first album when my best friend, at the time, and I shared the bootleg of their first album.  Well he bought it and I burned a copy, so it was just like both of ours, but he just kept ...

Jahlil Beats – Boss of the Boardroom: Best of Jahlil Beats (New Jack City)

Just as I can't talk about up and coming artists in the area without mentioning Meek Mill, the same goes for Jahlil Beats.  He is easily one of the best up and coming producers in the area and in the game really.  He is one of the best at the  sound that is currently dominating music right now.  Even though it may be Disco-esque ...

Fashawn – Grizzly City 3 (XXL Freshmen 2010)

Similar to Wiz Khalifa, Fashawn, is also a member of the XXL Freshmen 2010 Class...they actually were performing together earlier this year.  I saw Wiz but missed Fashawn because the show ACTUALLY started on time.  Once again the post by the good folks over at The Smoking Section of which i'm shamelessly jacking can be found here in it’s entirety on the entire 2010 Freshmen ...

Big Sean (Rock The Bells 2010) (XXL Freshmen 2010)

Finally Famous 3 coming soon...I haven't really listened to much of Big Sean's music so seeing him perform will be my first real introduction to him.  So i'll hold off on my own thoughts on him for now. You May Have Seen Him…: Draped in the latest fashion in a desolate Detroit suburb while claiming Kanye’s G.O.O.D Music Imprint. Reminds You Of: The Cool Kids. Strengths: Punchlines galore. (Clever ...

Wiz Khalifa (Rock The Bells 2010) (XXL Freshmen 2010)

Ok Mr. Fucking Wiz Khalifa...well since Wiz is not only rocking Rock The Bells, but it also a member of the XXL Freshmen 2010 Class i'm going to do something a bit different here.  By different I mean shamelessly jack the great post the good folks over at The Smoking Section did which can be found here in it's entirety on the 2010 Freshmen ...

Meek Mill – Mr. Philadelphia (Hosted by DJ Ill Will & DJ Rockstar) (New Jack City)

...So I got this mixtape last night intended to post it and do some work...and didn't.  Put it in the whip this morning for the ride into work and like what I heard, it showed some of the growth I was hoping to hear from Meek as an artist.  Then, I went to go post it this morning and gotta a fucking virus on ...

Yelawolf (Rock The Bells 2010)

I guess we'll close out the day with some Yelawolf, this post should be much shorter than the other two.  Yelawolf is a classic case of me stubbornly ignoring something that I know is good...why I do such thing I don't know.  Perhaps so I can be really impressed like I was from the first song of Yelawolf's Trunk Muzik. It has nothing to ...

Brother Ali (Rock The Bells 2010)

I had heard about Brother Ali years ago, he's kind of from that same underground as Reef The Lost Cauze and for whatever reason I always used to dwell in the underground where dudes talk about killing dudes and selling everything from white to white girls.  I don't know that shit always speaks to my soul.  ***shrugs*** It finally took the year end list ...

Reef The Lost Cauze & King Magnetic – King & The Cauze

This is one mixtape I already had that Reef did with King Magnetic that I liked a lot, I thought it was the only mixtape that had the Big Deal Remix that Reef did with Brother Ali, whom is also performing at Rock The Bells.  However, it appears I missed a mixtape which contained it...part of me is almost a bit scared when I ...

Reef The Lost Cauze (Rock The Bells 2010)

It only seemed appropriate the first artist I talk about at this year's Rock The Bells be Philly's own Reef The Lost Cauze.  Around the time when I was working at Best Buy during college I had stumbled onto one of Reef's CD at what i'm sure could only have been another shitty day at work.  Wait, wait...it was definitely A Vicious Cycle and I did ...

Street Spittas Ent. (New Jack City)

Street Spittas is one 3 of different artist(s) that Phrillz wanted to make sure I put on the mixtape and truth be told they would have been on there anyway.  They are easily one of the hardest working if not the hardest working independent labels in Philly.  They are everywhere, I really need to set aside some time to go through and listen to ...
