Street art VS Graffiti
French Wheat Paste artist “WK Interact”, whose work is pictured above, graces the cover of the current issue of Juxtapoz magazine. Last week the artist was rushed to a Miami hospital during an Art Basel Art Show after allegedly being knocked out by the prolifically destructive graffiti writer “Nekst”. The beef stems from the wall pictured above, which was painted months ago on a bustling NY corner. WK got permission to wheat paste the wall in the daytime over the underlying graffiti of “Wyse”, a crew member of “Nekst”. Both “Wyse”and “Nekst”eventually went back and painted the 2nd image at night.
Whatever you think about the use of violence, the aesthetic of the pictured graffiti or motivations for any of the above, this example makes clear the fact that one thing that separates graffiti from other forms of art is its unwritten code of social norms. If you go over people you may have a problem. For more info…

UNRULY IS THE ISH!
The fine folks at Unruly got a certified top 40 hit on their hands.
If you haven’t heard DJ Class’s incredible “I’m the Sh*t” yet, let me first of all put you on to this amazing song with some SERIAL top 40 potential and also scold Philly radio for being so effing far behind the curve on this one. For those that don’t know Class is one of the OG Bmore Club heads responsible for some of your favorite Bmore Club joints that you know all the words to but have no idea who it is. “EAST SIDE WHERE THE F*CK YOU AT! LET ME SEE YOUR HANDS UP!” Yeah, that’s DJ Class. And “Stop Snitchin’?” Yeah, that’s DJ Class, too. Everyone in Philly knows these songs, and yet somehow, Class’s new joint is not getting any radio love while it’s getting played in Bmore, Atlanta, New York, and even LA. THIS SONG IS GETTING PLAYED 3,000 MILES FROM HERE, BUT NOT IN PHILLY?! The old guard that govern “urban” radio in Philly refuses to break songs like this, instead choosing to force-feed the new 50 Cent down our throat instead of supporting some homegrown regional music that speaks directly to the youth of this region. Sure, dudes will go ahead and play this song in a couple weeks after it’s blown up all across the country, but there is a local, regional audience that LOVES Club and Party Music here in Philly, but the DJs on the radio all but ignore it except for the 10-15 minutes a week where they do the exact same ol’ Club Music/Party Music set they’ve been doing since 2004. It’s absolutely pathetic. And these are the same dudes that wonder why we don’t have a strong regional identity? Yeah, maybe Club and Party Music isn’t the regional identity you WANT to exist around these parts, but the truth of the matter is, this type of music is popular among the urban youth of Philly and part of the reason that radio sucks so much in Philly is because the folks that run the radio refuses to treat this place like it has any regional identity. The same damn 20 songs have been in rotation for the past 7 months. So pathetic.
But back to this track… Luckily, Jermaine Dupri and Trey Songz are more forward-thinking than the bitter old heads on the Clear Channel radio stations here and layed verses down on Class’s track while wyling out to in the studio (Download it here. It’s BANGING!) Rumor has it, Puffy reached out to get down on a remix as well. So yeah Philly, excellent work being way behind the curve on this track that’s really about to do some major things.
Have fun playing catch up, old heads.

Depthcore Digital Art Collective
Imagine a diverse group of young(early-mid 20s) International artists of the same medium connecting , collaborating and selling via one comprehensive website that features all of their work. Sure, this is not a new concept but Depthcore, a digital art collective, presents a nice model for how nichey artists who don’t know, but respect each other’s work, can support each other.The mission of the group is to highlight innovation in an “industry that is inundated with repetition”.
Peep it here:
Bonus: Last year’s recipient of the “Fatally Slept on Backpacker Block Banger award”.
Kweli Feat. Consequence-Engine Runnin…Madlib again and again.

Nolabounce.com
I don’t know if I’ve properly shouted out my OTHER blog on this here blog, so let me take this opportunity to hip y’all to NOLABOUNCE.com, a site dedicated to the Crescent City’s wonderful regional dance music known as “Bounce.” Those familiar with my work know I that several months back did a Bounce remix of the South Rakkas song “Mad Again as well as an all Bounce podcast for our fine friends at Mad Decent. If you don’t know anything about Bounce, that Podcast is an excellent place to start. It’s 60 minutes of some of my favorite Bounce songs with short write ups on each song to help give a bit of context and history to help the unfamiliar appreciate and learn about that ish.
By the same token, I thought it would be a good idea to start a website that helped consolidate as much information as possible available on Bounce online and to help spread the word on some of this great music, so I started NOLABOUNCE.com and recruited writers from all over the place (New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Houston, Vancouver, Philly, the Bay, etc) to write about it. The blog is still in its beginning stages and some of the older links don’t work because of the GREAT ZSHARE CRASH OF 2008, but there’s still a wealth of information and a bunch of dope tracks for you to download over there. So go get all that ish and help me spread the word!
BTW, while google image searching, I just found out this is available for Digital sale on Amazon. Definitely worth copping!! All these tracks are classics!

1ST & 15TH MIXES: VOL 6 BO BLIZ “BEST OF REEF”
The 1st & 15th (Pretty Much) Mix Series is a series of mixes presented by Emynd & Bo Bliz on (or around) the 1st and 15th of every month.
Crossfaded Bacon Presents:
1st & 15th (Pretty Much) Mix Series
“Best of Reef”
For this month I wanted to put the spotlight on some CFB fam, Reef The Lost Cauze. When I set out to do this mix, I was reviewing a whole gigabytes worth of mp3’s of this motherfucker. REEF HAS BEEN RAPPING A LOT. I mean a lot since like 3rd grade. But really it seems like his modern rap career started with “The High Life”. What was that, 01? Something like that.
Anyways, I was moving back to Philly from PSU and making lots of beats around that time and we collabbed on his next album “Invisible Empire” (as did Emil/Emynd). Since then he’s been dropping solo albums, crew albums, solo mixtapes, producer collab albums- all types of shit. To do this mix I ended up cutting out any rapper collabs, I just wanted to focus on Reef. Reef is a MOTHERFUCKING VERSATILE ARTIST!!! I put his battle raps, his more personal tracks, his what’s going on type tracks… all that shit, and yeah, it wasn’t easy to cut joints out to make it roughly 70 minutes. I hope y’all feel the tracklisting, and more importantly I hope Reef doesn’t think I left anything off, or cut verses off he wanted on there. Doing these is definitely different and tougher when it’s your bol’s shit.
Enough talking… I’m rambling. Make it clear though… This guy is a fucking monster. If you hate on this dude because who he rolls with or who he is associated with, fuck what you heard. This dude is nasty on all types of tracks.
With or without this music shit, it’s an honor to call him my people.
GO COP “A VICIOUS CYCLE” Digitally or the CD.
COP “FIGHT MUSIC” WHEN IT COMES OUT.
Sorry Reef no gun shots.
