C Rayz Walz (Stronghold/Monster Maker/The Almighty): Living in Boston during the so called Backpack Era was great because so many great indie Hip Hop labels were based there (Brick, Biscuithead, Landspeed, Detonator, etc.). It allowed you the opportunity to run across several up and coming emcees such as C Rayz Walz and his fellow Stronghold members (Breez Evahflowin, L.I.F.E. Long, Poison Pen & Immortal Technique) when they recorded for different area based companies or did shows. They claim that Ason Unique had no father to his style but the same statement applies to C Rayz Walz. C Rayz first caught underground heads attention in ciphers and freestyle battles around New York and made his first recorded appearances with Apani B. Fly and Rasheed (Ill Advised) on The Specialist/Perspective 12. Next came a notable verse on the Stronghold track On The Mic followed by Ace Lovers Area Code 1 (212)and Apathys The Smackdown. C Rayz was completely off the wall with it, pulling random punchlines and metaphors out the air constantly. Dude had his own slang and his own style and listeners began to catch on. His singles Mood Swing/Make It Happen and Whodafuckareyou /Degrees began to move respectable amounts of units independently and his stock shot up after notable guest spots on Aesop Rocks Labor Days, Molemens Ritual Of The.. and Cannibal Oxs The Cold Vein . In 2001, C Rayz dropped his debut The Prelude on his own label. Heads were ready. He dropped his collection of past material and called it Singular Plurals, then he hooked up with Def Jux and never looked back. His catalog is ridiculous, starting with Ravipops (The Substance) , We Live: The Black Samurai EP, Year Of The Beast, 1975: Return Of The Beast, The Dropping and last years releases the Parallel Thought collabo Chorus Rhyme and the Sharkey side project Sharkey And C Rayz Walz Are Monster Maker. Its a shame that some people only know him as Blizzards coach from that episode of MTVs Made.  read more »

Day Two of the Marvel vs. Hip Hop Secret Wars is about to begin and Joe Quesada is determined not to get swept like he did yesterday in 8 straight matches. He's been poring through the pages of the new edition of The Official Handbook Of The Marvel Universe and he's convinced he'll have a better go of it today. I just shake my head and smile knowing that I will not lose (no Shawn Carter). "You ready to lose eight more in a row?" I ask Joe. "Not gonna happen!" He tells me. I think to myself "He has no idea how diverse my pool of players is.". Joe gives the signal that he's ready. Day Two of Secret Wars is about to begin.  read more »

My boy S-One, like Nas, is an addict for sneakers (and maybe even 20's of buddah and bitches with beepers, or the updated version, 60's of buddah and bitches with blackberries). I was trying to get him involved in the DW anniversary celebration with a Bob Marley post because he also has a thorough knowledge of his work, but it was proving difficult for him to choose favorites. I don't know why I didn't think of this before, but hip hop culture has always had somewhat of an obsession with sneakers, and if there is anyone to expand on this topic, it's my boy S-One. S-One has a mean Itunes presence, and an even meaner kick game. The following is a little something S-One put together highlighting some essential kicks that have made an impact through the years, including some fun facts and other info, enjoy... Hip-Hop culture and Sneakers have gone hand in hand since before RUN-DMC wrote a song about their Adidas. From Shell Toes, to Jordans, to Dunks, fresh kicks have long been apart of the game. Today, DJ Nes and I are going to take you through some of the most important, influential, or just downright dope kicks ever made. This is a brief overview of some of the brands and styles. We may get deeper into more brands and models in a later post. All you sneakerheads hit the comments up and let us know if you agree/disagree with the picks, or if we suck and you just wish Nes would post some more Stretch Armstrong Show mp3s. Since style and taste are purely subjective this cannot be considered a complete or comprehensive list. Your list may, and probably should, vary from this one. Also, these are in no particular order. With all that said, lets get on to DWs first ever sneaker post!  read more »

This past weekend has been filled with several random acts of ignorance that have kept the Hip Hop/Urban gossip pages buzzing lately...not that I even give a fuck. In this particular case, I actually do because it's symptomatic of the lack of respect of women in mainstream Hip Hop. I'm going in on some people today because this shit has got to stop and soon. Let's start at the end and backtrack, shall we?  read more »
