Artist Spotlight: BUGGS THA ROCKA

This artist has been putting it down in the Midwest real hard as of late. Had to give him his shine!

In an era when commercial rap is king and hip hop has shed away from true lyricists, Cincinnati native, Speed “Buggs tha Rocka” Walton III, brings an animated flow an sound that is so refreshing to hip-hop heads when real music has become so foreign to true music lovers. In an extremely short period of time, this "Rocka Boy" has managed to collaborate and open up shows for the likes of Method Man, Red Man, Freeway, Tanya Morgan, and Little Brother. He's also become a sound that has grown tremendously from the headphones of friends to the local Cincinnati radio station, Wiz 101.1. In late 2008, Buggs took his career to a new level when he released the track “Get Away” featuring Little Brother which gets consistent plays in both Cincinnati and London; proving his eclectic sound of consciousness and reality is a voice that the people want to hear. aka DUDES MUSIC IS MUSIC IS FIRE!

XXL MAG says ROCKA is Next To Blow: http://www.xxlmag.com/online/?p=44271

BUGGS THA ROCKA UPCOMING PROJECTS:
- Mixtape with MICK BOOGIE, Releasing Late MAY
- Album Prelude: MUTANT LEVEL 5

Bulls vs Celtics Round 1 GAME 5 Re-Cap [2009 NBA Playoffs]

MY BULLS ARE DOWN 3-2... NOOOOOO!!!!! This Series has been awesome and definitely the Highlight of this years Playoffs so far. It's been crazy intense! Fast, Physical Play, Hard Fouls, the Stars Stepping It Up, 80+ Lead Changes, & 4 OverTime Sessions in 3 OverTime Games(A RECORD)... DEFINITELY the makings for an All-Time Classic Series. I've just been so salty tonight after my Chicago Bulls lost another heart-breaker. Can they win this Series? They've gotta start by taking care of home at the United Center.

NOTE: Ben Gordan has been playing the basketball of his Life!... and it's his contract year so he's getting SERIOUS BREAD next year. And is it just me or should the refs had called AT LEAST a Technical Foul for that Busting Teeth Shot to the face Rondo delivered on Brad Miller???

GUCCI MANE IS BACK!... New Song & Vid

Gucci Mane- Im Back B*tch!

Now anybody that knows me, knows I'm not much of a Gucci fan at all... Let me put that out there first & foremost. Lol. But I made this post because I haven't seen that much Gold on a Rapper since the Late 1980's! He's decked out in the Gucci and is definitely taking it back to the Retro Look of the old Gucci Crew & Eric B & Rakim days... whether he knows it or not. Lol.

KID CUDI - ROLLIN (REMIX) ft. Jackie Chain


MR.GRIPPOZ - RAP SLOW ft. Yung RJ


Q-TIP - WE FIGHT WE LOVE(Remix) ft. Kanye West & Consequence

I Gotta "DO THE RIGHT THING" for These!!!

Yet ANOTHER Air Force Jordan Fusion. This time it's the AIR JORDAN IV(4) in Wh/Cement/Blk & Wh/Black/Red. As a true collector & sneaker fanatic, I'm NOT a fan of the Fusions and most of time think they end up looking awful, but the AJIV work so well with the AF1 Silhouette... I'd be lying to say that I'm not copping at least one of these. I'm Leaning toward the CEMENTS!

WH/CEMENT/BLK... RELEASE DATE: JULY 2009

WH/BLK/RED... RELEASE DATE: JULY 2009

These are the INSPIRATION. JordanBrand... WHY WONT YOU JUST RELEASE THESE FOR GOD's SAKE?!

Artist Spotlight: EIGHT-O-EIGHT'z

This is a new group I just got introduced to from Detroit... EIGHT-0-EIGHT'z. They got a unique style that definitely brings the 808's and the Boom Bap's into play. Their music has an old-school feel but the lyricism is definitely there and it's very 2009... almost Futuristic & Retro Fusion if that makes any sense. You be the judge! You can get the latest on the crew on their blog: www.bangboom808.blogspot.com

And one of the group members SHEEFY MCFLY is one BEAST of an Artist!

The track I've been banging since yesterday:
