What's good folks? Every once and a while I post some home grown heat and today is no different. We have my Yadibox fam, Triple Nickels. Now some people post music because it is theirs but I post what's good. Honestly I don't like everything I've ever done even though some of my supporters and friends may argue that I haven't dropped a lame verse yet. With that being said I really love this track.

Triple Nickels (formerly the Rowdee Black Giants) have a dope cd coming out entitled "Homemade Grenades" and I was asked to be apart of it. Zilla Rocca carves a soulful path with this track as we discuss finding a way through this crazy world. If you like music with substance this is for you. Download it and bump this shit!

Triple Nickels - Find A Way (Produced by Zilla Rocca) f/ 2ew Gunn Ciz and Toke Jones

My bad Zilla. Steve "Zilla Rocca" Zales, 1/2 of Clean Guns, Co-Founder of Beat Garden Entertainment, Blog Rookie of the Year for "Clap Cowards", and not-so ghost producer extraordinaire dropped a gem on me. He remixed Crush Rock, originally produced by Rhythm J. The track received some moderate love over at Hiphopdx.com getting a little under 30,000 plays before the thirst for new music pushed it to the 4th or 5th pages of obscurity. Either way its a crowd fave at all my shows. I was watching football and browsing through my iTunes looking for a Reef the Lost Cauze track and I noticed this remix. I don't know what was going through my mind when Mr. Rocca sent this to me but I obviously overlooked a dope cut. Upon further review (perfect rhetoric for NFL Sunday) the ruling on the field is overturned. Sorry guys. Sometimes I just save as instead of instantly opening in iTunes. I love J's version but the beauty of this version is that besides the dope sample from "Top Yourself" by the Raconteurs, the lyrics can breathe. Reef, Nico, and M.O.G. went in and its obvious. The rock feel never left but those who slept and/or got lost in Rhythm J's heavy rock rendition of The White Stripes "Icky Thumb" can catch up with us as we trade bars and effectively Crush Rock. Enjoy.

The beauty of a blog is that once it is created, it never goes away (unless it is deleted), so if nobody knows I have one and only 3 people read it everyday or people do the usual and read something without leaving a trace of them having been their only later to tell you word for word the content of your blog or a lyric from your song. Argh! Now that's frustrating. I wish I could hand everyone in the world a copy of Tailgating but I can't. Some folks will catch on later. Shit, it will probably be a cult classic in 2049. With all that being said let me allow myself and Zilla Rocca to reintroduce himself and his CD, "Bring me the Head of Zilla Rocca". It's definitely worth the listen. guarantee there are songs on there everyone will enjoy regardless of hip-hop genre preference. (i.e. crack or back pack or mandex, etc.) He put together a dope little video with a backdrop that resembles a late night television show hosted by Conan O'Brien or some guy. Shouts to Jimmy Giambrone the young Nigel Barker slash James Cameron of Dangerous in Public.

Hey guys!

I rap if you didn't notice the extremely long post of performance videos or the latest September video (Yo!Adrienne waddup!) posted below. Before I was an emcee I was a fan though and I continue to be a fan of hip hop as well as other genre's of music excluding most country (sorry Dad).

Nowadays when I express distaste in other music besides my own, people tend to figure me as a hater. Oh no. Not the "H" word. Yes the "H" word. Someone decided that once you record a song you know longer can have an unbiased opinion of others music. Well to quote my own self "before I picked up a pen niggas was wack".

I do however have some of the dopest homies in the industry both signed and unsigned and I do enjoy many other groups and individuals on the scene currently. I guess it is my responsibility as a blogger in the Peter Parker sense (thanks Uncle Ben), to use my powers for the good of music, my chosen love and profession. With that being said, I introduce my crew to you. When I say crew, I mean cats who would let me sleep on their couch or vice versa.

These are people who I've taken 4 am trips from NY back to Camden to catch the train across the bridge home (I see you Big Lou) with after shows. People I've taken weird road trips to Rhode Island with. People I've had lunch with in San Diego while annoying chicks wouldn't shut the hell up! (Distant i wanted to kill that jawn!) We've almost been mangled by pit bulls with retarded owners at Venice Beach. I would fu*k you up for these people.

Don't get it twisted.



Also please let the spiders of google lock this into the annals of internet history. The Rap Pack is officially born. With that being said, the rest of you can officially die. In no particular order I give you Distant Starr and Al Mighty of Magr, Zilla Rocca and Nico the Beast of Clean Guns and myself, the man, the myth, the rap Vincent Chase, 2ew Gunn Ciz. *cue the horns, gun shots and belly dancers with grapes* More on that later.

So where do I start?!?!?

Oh, I know where to start. Let's start with a member of the Rap Pack. Since he just released a mixtape; a mixtape you say? Yes a mighty mighty mixtape entitled "Bring Me the Head of Zilla Rocca", my Beat Garden bredren, Clean Guns cousin and fellow Philly Gun Club member, Zilla Rocca, producer extraordinaire, rookie of the year blogger and seriously underrated emcee has been making more noise on the blog circuit than Peter trapped in the body of Jesse, the new aged Banshee.

Not only is Mr. Rocca a sharp dresser, but he also put together one of my favorite joints of the year so far. I say that not because of our homie status, but because its true. He's like a brother and we would all tell our brother if he sucked now wouldn't we? Yep so check his blog out. Check his myspace and try to find him on facebook (you stalkers!) and download his damn tape. Its hot fiyah.
