Don’t get in the dark van with indie rappers

I'm alive. I didn't get robbed or raped and I still have my equipment. It could have been a lot worse.

The suite I woke in was dope. I didn't know Days Inn had rooms like this. I didn't feel groggy or hungover, I just had a blank area of memory and that shit is worse than a hangover, kinda. I went down to the lobby to get some coffee and I saw Onry. I gave him my story and he was like Daaaamn dude.

We had a two hour drive ahead of us so we were taking our own sweet time. Finally one by one we poured out of the hotel into the Heathen mobile. Time to bounce…we headed out on our way to church aka Best Buys. Best Buys is church because they …

Whores, robberies and a new label?

Excuse me…I just woke from a very weird and vivid dream, so lemme try to script it. In my dream, I was out on this tour (might've been Paid Dues tour, though.) And the tour bus stopped in Carson City, Nevada, to have my birthday party at the Bunny Ranch! Before yer panties get all wet, lemme just say it wasn't a “normal” party at the Ranch. My mother was there with her friends and my whole family. Nicole was with me but that's a normal Bunny Ranch party. All my kids were at the party and their mothers were there too. My grandma had to keep telling my daughters not to get into the jacuzzi until they were cleaned and disinfected properly!?! It was a combination of Dennis's actual house and the brothel because there was …

A message to groupies from Luckyiam

Baltimore show day.

This venue was fuckin' DOPE. It's called Rams Head (Hahaaa, I said “head.”) in downtown B-More and it still smelled new. All the staff was top notch from the sound people, to the barTENDERs to the hospitality girl, to the security all the way down to the ticket booth people. Professionals. Thank you very much.

Let me apologize to the city of B-more for anything foul I said in the last blog. Baltimore is dope. They have much flavor. I even met cool cops out there. Before soundcheck we had some time so Ant asks me if I felt like walking around exploring…Why the fuck not. We found this dope ass harbor side area with a pirate ship (complete with cannons) and there were some little dragon boats you could rent for …

Rock the Bells Report (video/audio)

My caffeine for the morning of Saturday Aug 11, was the words “Sold Out.” They flashed on a sign right before I exited at Glen Helen Parkway. I was in awe, driving up the picturesque event center wedged between the mountains at the northeastern tip of the Inland Empire. I knew this was going to be the best Rock The Bells yet.

Arriving at the venue at 9 AM, colleague and fellow guerilla intern Corey “CoCo” Ciotti and I set up the URB booth and began slangin’ subscriptions for $10 a pop, plus bag of free ish. Yes, indeed URB got it for cheap. Behind our booth was a giant live graffiti display and we faced the Paid Dues area that surprisingly drew thousands of dedicated underground heads away from the major label stage all …

Corruption at Rock the Bells!

So URB had exclusive access behing the Paid Dues stage at this weekend's Rock the Bells festival'o'hip-hop in San Bernardino, CA, and we filmed some awesome, awesome shit. But the Mini-DV we recorded these interviews on was corrupt. So we're kind of fucked. Sometimes, we hate your technology. Regardless, if you close your eyes real tight and imagine jamming 10 pounds of hip-hop into a five pound sack known as your heart, you'll be able to actually see and hear the radness of our backstage exclusiveness and what the world is now missing:

* A sweaty, sweatin' to the oldies, dripping with sweat Sage Francis (profusely sweating), calls out the mainstage rappers for lip synching and not keeping it real. He's wearing yellow shorts. And sweating.

* Living Legends homie Luckyiam got so excited about his upcoming feature in …
