THE READY CEE SHOW returns with a special edition episode along side London’s, THE D-SEW SHOW to bring you a collaborative podcast showcasing some of the U.S. and the U.K.’s finest Hiphop. D-Sew made her way out to NYC to bless the streets with sounds from her ends and to absorb the essence of true Hiphop in the Boogie Down Bronx. Make sure you clear out plenty space on your device and download this extended program for your enjoyment!
Its been like three years since Prodigy got canned but he’s home now and back behind the Mobb Deep controls trying to get those gears turning one more time along with his homie, Havoc. Mobb Deep wasn’t on the best terms with some fans at the time The P got bagged because of whatever reason you want to pick. But we all keep that slim hope alive that we’ll get a core sound out of the crew on the next run. Whatever the outcome of the new album is we don’t have to worry ourselves about the outcome of this upcoming concert. You can rest assured that they will be meticulously paging through a well arranged timeline of the Mobb classics that made them who they are today. Ghostface & Raekwon along with many of thier Wu-Tang brothers will be the razor sharp darts they always are, both with new albums under their wings to accompany the mind bending list of classics to catalog through. Tickets are now on sale so make sure you grab yours immediately because this concert is guaranteed to sell out.
. . . And stay tuned for the brand new WLND Radio that will be dropping leading up to the show featuring the intergalactic promoter himself, Peter Oasis.
For those familiar with Sadat X’s Youtube series, True Wine Connoisseurs, here’s a little treat… an impromptu True Wine Connoisseur segment with Sadat X from Brand Nubian & AG of DITC live on The Ready Cee Show.
LA’s graf culture is alive and well and it only makes sense that a legend in the game like ShirtKing Phade made his way out to the west coast to make base and get busy. This latest piece from Phade, Trixter and Aero can be found at Santa Monica & Federal behind the car wash in Los Angeles. It was made to commemorate the upcoming release of Ice-T’s new film, The Art of Rap. Phade says, “…we decided to do a piece for his movie and make him aware of the aerosol art movement.”
Kingston, Jamaica: LOCAL RAPPER RELEASES MIXTAPE WITH HIP HOP ICON
In 1967, Jamaican-born DJ Kool Herc took the local sound system culture to the Bronx, New York and subsequently, Hip Hop was born. Four decades later, the genre has come full circle as Five Steez, one of Jamaica’s Hip Hop MCs, has collaborated with DJ Ready Cee, a New York underground Hip Hop radio icon from the Bronx, and released a mixtape online entitled ‘The Momentum: Volume One’.
The mixtape, which is the first release in a three part series, features 18 tracks, spanning a total of 46 minutes, in which Five Steez spits his lyrics over well-known instrumentals as DJ Ready Cee employs his tricks in mixing, cutting and scratching. It is available for download at www.djreadycee.com, www.facebook.com/fivesteez & iTunes.
“It’s been a while since I’ve heard a ‘real mixtape’ with actual mixing, plus scratching, and I wanted to bring that back,” says the rapper. “It’s become rare even within modern Hip Hop but this is what the mixtape is really about.”
DJ Ready Cee, known for The Underground Lockdown and The Ready Cee Show on New York City’s WHUT 91.9FM during the late 1990s and early 2000s, says, “I first heard the homie Five Steez when he sent me a track that I played on my online show. I was blown away and so were my co-hosts and listeners because it was so dope. And this kid is coming straight out of Kingston, Jamaica, so that was special.”
Five Steez says, “Ready Cee is an icon so it’s definitely an honour to get this type of support from him, particularly with the mixtape. I hope that this will highlight turntablism locally and also build my fanbase, especially abroad where the real market for Hip Hop exists.”
Five Steez is one of the most recognized artists within Kingston’s growing Hip Hop movement and is best known for his appearance in the music video, ‘Get Down’, and recent performances at Manifesto|Jamaica events, ART’ical Exposure and ART’ical Empowerment Live.
