Dj Premier Interview...

OL SCHOOL WEDS Video----Xzibit

Xzibit, began his music career as a member of the Likwit Crew, a loose collective of West Coast rappers which included King Tee, Defari, and Tha Alkaholiks. He appeared on King Tee's album, IV Life (1995), on the song "Free Style Ghetto", and then on Tha Alkaholiks' Coast II Coast (1995), on the song "Hit and Run". After touring with Likwit Crew in 1995, Xzibit signed to Loud Records and released his debut album, At the Speed of Life (1996). The album produced his first breakthrough single "Paparazzi" (#86 Billboard Hot 100). Xzibit expanded his following with a series of albums beginning with 40 Dayz & 40 Nightz (1998). Often considered Xzibit's best album, it produced the single "What U See Is What U Get" (#50 Billboard Hot 100). He made a number of high-profile guest appearances in 1999, joining Snoop Dogg on the Dr. Dre-produced hit "Bitch Please", and appearing on Dr. Dre's 6x platinum album 2001, on the songs "Lolo", "Some L.A. Niggaz", and "What's the Difference" with Eminem.. Dr. Dre invited Xzibit to perform on his American Up in Smoke Tour in mid-2000, which featured Snoop Dogg, Eminem, and Ice Cube, among many others. Loud Records released Xzibit's Restless that year with Dr. Dre as executive producer, who produced the single "X" . The song became the rapper's biggest hit since "What U See Is What U Get".

Xzibit returned with another album, Man vs. Machine (2002), yet again he fell a bit short of mainstream success, although he did manage to go gold. He continued to collaborate with his closest West Coast colleagues, primarily Ras Kass and Saafir with whom he formed The Golden State Project rap collective, and Tha Liks, along with bigger names like Snoop Dogg and Eminem. His allegiance to the West Coast and former colleagues continued to win him much respect from his fans[citation needed]. Weapons of Mass Destruction (2004) followed, which also managed to go gold. Xzibit is also working on his new upcoming studio album MMX (which stands for 2010 in roman numerals); the follow-up to his 2006 release Full Circle and is set to be released sometime in 2010....Enjoy!!!

OL SCHOOL WEDS Video----Grand Puba

He made his debut with the group Masters of Ceremony. Its album Dynamite (1988) was hailed by critics, but probably due to lack of sales, the group soon disbanded, and Puba emerged as the lead emcee of Brand Nubian. After their innovative and versatile debut album One for All (1990)—covering areas from reggae-influenced hip hop music to new jack swing—Puba left the group after disputes with its other members and embarked on a solo career. He became a member of the group again around 1997, recording a few tracks for various soundtracks leading up to the full-length album Foundation in '98. In 1999, Puba and group mate Sadat X performed on the track "Once Again" on Handsome Boy Modeling School's concept album So... How's Your Girl? Following the group's 2004 effort Fire in the Hole, a rejuvenated Puba appeared on tracks with Beanie Sigel ("Bread and Butter," also featuring groupmate Sadat X), Missy Elliott ("My Struggles," featuring his onetime collaborator Mary J. Blige), and Ugly Duckling ("Something's Going Down Tonight").

In 2009, Grand Puba released his fourth solo album, Retroactive, featuring production from hip-hop veterans like Q-Tip, Large Professor, Kid Capri as well as his fellow Brand Nubian's. Puba also appeared on the heavy posse-cut "Fresh" together with Cormega, KRS-One, Big Daddy Kane, DJ Red Alert and Parrish Smith of EPMD....eNJOY!!!

Its members, DJ Babu from the DJ crew Beat Junkies; Evidence; and Rakaa joined together in 1992 and released "Third Degree" (1997) and "Work the Angles"(1998) on ABB Records, developing a solid fan base in the underground hip hop community. They had previously recorded an album titled "Imagery, Battle Hymns & Political Poetry" that was never released (1995), although many fans still have it on bootlegged tapes. The group eventually signed with Capitol Records and released The Platform (2000) to more critical acclaim. The second album, Expansion Team, was released in 2001 led by The Alchemist-produced "Worst Comes to Worst," which utilized a vocal sample from Mobb Deep's "Survival of the Fittest" and a musical sample from William Bell's "I Forgot to be Your Lover". Expansion Team debuted at #8 on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and #36 on The Billboard 200. The group's third album, Neighborhood Watch, was released in 2004 and debuted at #55 on USA's Billboard 200 Albums Chart, selling 143,000 copies in the United States In addition to the Kanye West-produced single "This Way," it featured the single "Who's Who?" which was also included as a track on the Need for Speed: Underground and SSX 3 soundtracks, and peaked at #35 on the UK Singles Chart. The fourth album, 20/20, was released in 2006; the debut single, "Back Again", was featured on the Fight Night Round 3 soundtrack. This is the third EA Games Soundtrack on which the group has been featured.

LMNO...To Deliver 10 Albums...in 1 Shot!!

Mark your calendars. James Kelly aka LMNO (Leave My Name Out), one of underground's most respected Hip-Hop artists, is releasing a 10-pack of his most prolific work on October 10, 2010. Early this year, LMNO took on the challenge of producing 10 original albums in one year, a feat no other musician has conquered to date. His drive to craft music with a meaning inspired him to accomplish the nearly impossible. LMNO delivered seven of the 10 albums before August 2010, composing and recording day and night to complete the final three albums in time to release the 10-pack collector's edition on 10/10/10.

A certified studio fiend that records daily, fans and fellow artist circles alike clamor about LMNO's work ethic and passion for music. LMNO chose 2010, the 10th anniversary since his debut album release, as the year to begin revealing his seemingly infinite catalog: 10 new albums in 2010 released digitally, along with a monumental collector's CD 10-pack, self titled James Kelly, designed and packaged by LMNO's Long Beach neighborhood friend, Jonas Bevacqua's company, Lifted Research Group (LRG). Kelly feels "this project was special because of everyone that was involved. I have a lot of respect and love for each producer as well as all the artists that featured on each album. Once LRG & Up Above Records agreed to do this project, I knew it was all possible."

LMNO collaborated with some of the industry's most talented producers on his 10-pack, including Georgia Anne Muldrow, Kev Brown, KeyKool and DJ Babu. "I've known and worked with LMNO since high school, and he is by far the most prolific MC I know, stated KeyKool. So far, only the producers and artists James works with have been able to witness what a studio monster he is. But this 10-pack solidifies the LMNO legacy and lets the world see his true talent and passion. As contributor and fan alike, I couldn't be more proud and impressed by the epic project: James Kelly."
