Up and Coming Hip Hop Group: Strong Arm Steady

Featured consistently on the WRCU weekly show, "Hip Hop Heads," Strong Arm Steady is arguably the most talented new hip hop group today. They are currently signed to Talib Kweli's independent record label, BlackSmith (along with female lyrical genius, Jean Grae).

The westcoast based group is fully utilizing the BlackStar veteran's connections in the hip hop world. Their mixtape, "Clinton Sparks and Talib Kweli Present: Gang Mentality," has led to thousands of fans anxiously awaiting the arrival of their upcoming album, "In Search of Stoney Jackson."

Rising out of the underground westcoast hip hop scene, the group is making a name for themselves on a national platform. Starting out with little to no publicity, the originally 8-person group used Xzibit as a front man in order to get exposure. As the years passed, and members went their separate ways, the group centered on the three current members: Mitchy Slick, Phil Da Agony and Krondon.

Recognizing the each member's talent, Kweli wasted no time signing the group to his label. The three members' flow, delivery and lyrics leave no room for debate. SAS is the next big thing in underground hip hop. Check out the music videos of their two singles, "Can't Let it Go" and "One Step."

2010 Must See Movies

2010 is showing amazing potential in the world of film. These two long-awaited trailers give us a little preview into the new year. Enjoy!

Robin Hood

Featuring Russel Crowe, Universal Pictures, Directed by Ridley Scott

Alice In Wonderland

Featuring Johnny Depp, Walt Disney Studios, Directed by Tim Burton

Jay Electronica - Exhibit A

Check out this single from Jay Electronica, produced by Just Blaze. Jay has been collaborating with the likes of Talib Kweli and Mos Def. This is Exhibit A, the first of three (Exhibit C was just recently released). You might not guess it from his style but he's a New Orleans rapper. Needless to say the bar has been raised.

Super Mash Brothers- 12/6 at the Palace

On Friday Night December 6th, the Super Mash Brothers will be playing a concert at the Palace. This is event is sponsored by WeFunk and CAB Music. Similar to Girl Talk, the Super Mash Bros are known for their mash-ups of all types of popular music. Great for a late night dance party! The show is called for 11, so it is safe to say they won't go on until midnight.

I would suggest getting there closer to eleven, as over 700 people are expected at a venue that barely holds 300. Godspeed to all those who attend. Pregame appropriately.

Rhymesayers Entertainment Does Work

Brother Ali, Toki Wright and Evidence casual rap session over BK-One beats. Just another day at the office.

Second Hand Sureshots

The trailer basically explains the general nature of the project. All four of these DJ's are top notch and for them to come together to make this is incredible. The actual product is a vinyl and DVD set, only for the real cratediggers out there.
