Another totally awesome piece from Respect Magazine. This time on shooter Mike Schriber a Jewish dude from Long Island who just hustled his way into being a magazine quality photographer. My favorite quote is when he says people ask him, “How do you go from shooting your friends to shooting for magazines?” He replies “…I always just say, ‘I never shot my friends’” classic!

Bambu has set the bar very high for emcees and the times of the “cool” or “swaged” out artist who could ride on charisma alone are fading fast. Bambu is at the fore front of a forth coming sea change of dudes who fuse socially aware rhymes with real mic skills and visuals cropped straight from his own life experiences as well as the that of youngsters who deal with the sames truths on on a daly basis in this world. Theres too much actual shit happening out there in the wold for the people to continue to be content with these wanna be cats who express no sense of higher self in their raps. This is real shit homie, GET UP ON MAGIC!

From the EP “…paper cuts…”

Psyche…that’d be a asinine comparison. Their videos on the other hand can be. I know that X’s isn’t a true one take but with technology these days I don’t even know fully if J.Cole’s is either. Both videos are pretty damn fresh though, X’s standing out more just because I feel like it has a way more substance and story line than J.Cole’s which is visually stimulating but lacks a solid story backbone.

Moe Green’s Rocky Maivia drops sometime in July. I’m amp’d for the release, more coming on Moe on 24KMilkCrate.Com this week. GET UP ON MAGIC!

I’d be remissed if I didn’t get around to posting the teaser for The Dream’s next video off of his current album Love King.

Just incase you forgot how ILL Prodigy is.

Philip Drummond holds the Bay Area down when it comes to monthly beat battles. This one holds a special place because it highlights the infamous S.F Vs. Oakland rivalry that will exist for eternity. Hosted by one of the Bay Areas freshest emcees Do Dat, looks like downtown was the place to be that night.
