Duck Down Records Sign KRS-ONE and DJ Revolution

KRS-ONE is a significant figure in the Hip-Hop community and is often credited by critics and other Hip-Hop artists as epitomizing the "essence" of an emcee. It is no surprise then, that KRS-ONE decided it would make the most sense to combine forces with Buckshot, of Black Moon and record a new album on Duck Down Records. Buckshot shares similar philosophies as KRS-ONE, one of which is the notion of the "Stop the Violence Movement," which KRS-ONE is actively involved with.

KRS-ONE turned to Dru Ha and Buckshot (co-owners of Duck Down Records) to bring a certain sound and production to this upcoming project, a request that Duck Down Records Co-President Dru Ha was honoured to fulfil “To say we are honored and humbled would be an understatement. Buck and I have known KRS since our early days in the game, back when we were recording at D&D Studios and he directly influenced the name of the label with his song "Duck Down” (sucka Mc's Duck). He was also instrumental in one of Buck's first and biggest records as Da Beatminerz flipped the "How Many MC's" vocal sample from KRS. But with the nostalgic feelings of KRS being one of my favorite MC's growing up to the side, it's KRS's continued relevance of today that's most exciting. KRS has a message in his lyrics, a gladiator performer who reps the culture and posses all the qualities that an MC should embody: Meaningful lyrics, mastery of the flow, intense creativity and a ferocious live show. know how much respect Buck has for KRS, so I can only imagine how this will elevate his game. It's Old School to those that don't keep up with the current works and movements but to me, I would call it Now School.”

Three tracks have already been recorded and the chemistry between the two artists is very natural. Buckshot described the work as "CONFLOSATION, even when KRS-ONE is flowing he's having a conversation with his audience. This collaboration with KRS-ONE is going to be an album full of Hip-Hop conversation, ranging from New World Order, to socially conscious topics such as unemployment, poverty, and politics. At the same time, we will speak to the streets, as that is what I'm known to do. It’s a dream to be able to work with KRS-ONE. Before I even began rapping that is who I checked for. I kept the “Blue Print” album on me at all times. That is all I listened to for an entire summer."Check for the KRS-ONE & Buckshot’s album later this year on Duck Down Records.

Revolution has done just about everything you can think of with records. Spun ’em, scratched ’em, juggled ’em, sampled ’em, collected ’em, produced ’em, sold ’em, distributed ’em, promoted ’em, and so on.

DJ Revolution's attention to detail and his genuine respect for the craft of Hip-Hop music is what separates him from other DJ's, as quoted by saying: "despite today’s DJ's being 'psuedo-lebrities’ and as big and trendy as ever, they are almost completely disconnected from Hip-Hop in the eyes of the general public. Through this record I'll attempt to reconnect the DJ with Hip-Hop, re-introduce the DJ to those who forgot what we really do and re-define what is possible in recorded music for the DJ as an artist."

Expect to see DJ Revolution's "King of The Decks" album in stores fall 2008

Rapper Remy Ma gets 8 years for shooting friend

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Grammy-nominated rapper Remy Ma was sentenced to eight years in prison on Tuesday for shooting and wounding an acquaintance after discovering money was missing from her purse after a night out in Manhattan.

In sentencing the rapper, criminal court judge Rena Uviller said Remy Ma, whose real name is Remy Smith, was "an extremely angry young woman whose anger is completely out of control."

In March, a New York jury found Smith, nominated for a 2004 Grammy for her part in Terror Squad's song "Lean Back," guilty of assault, weapons possession and attempted coercion.

Smith's lawyer, Ivan Fisher, called the shooting in the early hours of July 14, 2007, accidental and suggested the victim, Makeda Barnes-Joseph, was exaggerating the facts to win a large sum in a separate civil suit.

Smith believed her friend had taken $3,000 from her and that her gun went off as the pair struggled over her purse. The bullet pierced Barnes-Joseph's colon and hit her rectum and sent her to a hospital for three weeks.

In appealing for leniency, Smith tearfully described how she had grown up in homeless shelters, "surrounded by poverty and drugs and violence and failure."

"Remy Ma is not even close to who I really am. I'm not a thug," she said. "I'm not a threat or a menace to society, and I still have so much to offer."

But prosecutor Michael McIntosh said that Smith had a habit of traveling with a loaded weapon and said something like this "was bound to happen one day."

This coming week I will debut new music from "The 3rd World" from me and Green Lantern. I'll be posting a couple of songs and I'll also be on Sirius Satellite this coming Monday so be on the look out for that.



The release date for "The 3rd World" is set for June 24th. So I hope we can pass the word on here, as much as possible. I'll be on here regularly putting up the details for shows, instores, answering questions, and of course working on the police state chronicles wit people. We need more staff, so I am always looking for anyone out there interested in helping us, we are blessed to have some of the most hardworking soldiers in Hip Hop. I look forward to seeing more people come aboard and aid our movement.

[Motel6Devil]

When I first came to NYC, I was fresh out of school. I was living over in Bayside Queens, taking the LIRR into the city everyday. For those unfamiliar, that's like...an 45 mins worth of an additional train ride before you even get into Manhattan. I was fortunate enough to get a full time graphics gig the first day I got here, but I didn't know anyone or anything about the city. I was just sorta of "warped" into things.



At this point in my life, I had spent the past couple of years couped up in a lab learning how to accumulate $38k in student loan debt for something I could have taught myself for free (Thanks Full Sail!).

I had completed my first solo project, The Monotone EP, away from the group restrictions of my former 'kid-group' RBM Crew and I was antsy and looking to get involved in the Hip Hop scene. Cause...FUCK IT!! I'm IN NEW YORK, NOW! Within my first couple of battles, I met PackFM and the cat you see in the picture above.



h3.

First Impressions

The first time I'd met Immortal Technique, *(who was simply 'Technique' then) was at the United Hip Hop battle at the now defunct Spiral Lounge in 2000.

Battling was hot and heavy back then in NYC - on any given night, you could see the likes of Breez Evahflowin, Wordsworth, C Rayz Walz, Pumpkinhead, Many Styles, PackFM and plenty other underground mainstays attempting to chop each other's skulls off on stage for nothing more than peanuts, puma sweats and respect.



That night, I battled my way up to the semi finals via clashes with Plague-alumni Pumpkinhead [see video]. The end of the night consisted of a multiple final-round battle between Many Styles & Technique. Lines were flying back and forth faster than you can you could imagine, including the decisive "I'll put cement boots on your mother and throw that bitch in the river" - sure it was purely disrespectful - but this is what would come to embody this man's rep. A blatant, in your face, bottom of a gutter barrel, in your fucking face, lack of respect for anyone or anything style that folks really hadn't seen just yet.

Tech was more inclined to call you a "fucking f*ggot" and curse your dying sister in the hospital than to flip a witty worldplay joke. It was completely gutteral and unpolished, but still managed to make you laugh at the sheer audacity and shock of it. There was talent here. Immediately, I was impressed.



We crossed paths in front of the club and gave eachother props for our wins that night, immediately striking up a mutual respect and friendship then and there.

He'd given me a beat tape (yes, an actual cassette) to do a song called "Root of Evil" for a record he was working on (that would become "Revolutionary Vol.

1"), to which I finished a verse for - just about 6 months too late. haha. I'm a notoriously slow writer (and it's probably obvious why), and I missed the boat on Vol.1. I still got that verse though, so who knows.



h3.

Origins of Political Brutality

Throughout the entire time I've known Tech, he was always interested in politics and world events.

We'd have hour-long phone conversations where I'd profess my lack of interest in anything governmental and he'd call me an 'Anti-Castro Cuban', and I'd confess that it didn't matter that I was or not. We did a plenty of gigs together locally and he was always spitting wild shit about the government and whatnot. This is pre-Bush, Pre-War, Pre-911 shit we're talking here. At this point in time, no one really seemed interested in anything but Ally McBeal, Biggie and Ecko tees. It was all going over people's heads. Revolutionary Vol.1 came and went without fanfare, yet, he kept on and he kept on.



Shows kept happening, I was doing the whole Extended Famm thing and time rolled on. A year or so passed. One day, I got the call to come down to this studio he was recording at (which would become Viper Records) to record a posse cut with some of the regulars.

I remember sitting in a room with Poison Pen (yowwww!), Pumpkinhead and his girl, and we were all trying to figure out what the fuck to write. We hadn't even heard any of the other verses to go off of. All we knew were was what part we would play.



Whoever finished first would go down into the booth and drop vocals and pretty much disappear. Pen & I were in there for what seemed like an eternity until the first phrase just kinda hit me.

"HONEY I'M HOME!" the rest just poured out from there.

The song turned out to be "Peruvian Cocaine"

h3.

Lightning In A Bottle





9/11 happened. The war started. Rocksteady Anniversary's last hurrah at Chelsea Piers happened. Tech was slated to perform that day - it would be the first time we'd perform this song we recorded. We were running the QN5 booth that year and I bumped into him pre-show.

He literally rolled out hand truck with boxes that contained his new project Revolutionary Vol.

2.



Imagine a crowd of people who'd never seen this stocky latino cat shouting the most brutal shit in front of 8,000 people. He performed "Obnoxious" - a song with verses many of us had heard many times at his local shows - and it was a collective jaw drop. We rocked "Peruvian Coke", and then he proceeded to get his mics cut off during an acapella. Initially, I thought it was because the set ran over time - but I later came to find out it was because the sponsors were furious at his language.

(Ever wonder what happened to RSC? Well, now you know).

hahaha

You could just feel the energy in the air.

Everything was right on the money that day - new president, a new enemy, a new war, a new disparagement over a stolen election, a newly galvanized people met head on by a new MC, a new voice with a new album and a new method of delivery - Street Shock Politics.

Shit that was high minded enough to be politically poignant yet served up in the coldest platter of vulgar street slang that would hold the average Crip's attention. This was lightning in a bottle folks. I was there. I felt it.



h3.

The Third World

Since then, Tech has gone on to do some truly incredible things. I've watched him speak at political rallies, bust the noses of coked-out hipster rappers, and grow his audience all over the world.

You can catch him on tour with Rock The Bells this year, providing a welcome dose of reality during a day filled with skinny jeans, flourescent yellow t-shirts, glitter kicks and regurgitated 80's drum patterns.

(Check this year's lineup if you don't know what I'm talking about).



I was fortunate enough to rock that now classic "Peruvian Coke" track with him recently at last years RTB event [see video] and I was floored by that crowd of over 30k+ singing along to his shit. I felt good to know that one of us had truly did the damn thing - in our own way with no compromises, gimmicks or trickery. Just raw unadulterated words from the heart.



It's over 4 years since Revolutionary Vol.

2 and he's finally about to serve up his next release. I wanted to write something with some experience behind it as opposed to just posting an mp3 link and that being it.

Here is the first bit of music from the forthcoming project "The 3rd World", produced by DJ Green Lantern.

DO NOT MISS the incendiary second verse of this song - this is classic Technique right here - flipping from Spanish to English seamless without losing an ounce of ferocity. The production is handled nicely as well, complimenting Tech with heavy kicks and a sinister flute melody that works towards an indigenous South American tribal feel.

If you gave up anticipating the oft-delayedThe Middle Passage, this is all you need to keep the faith that another monster release is on the way.



h3. And On That Note...

I know Tech and I are on pretty opposite ends of the spectrum as recording artists, but one thing we certainly share in common - we both stand behind what we say 100% and will not give up our position on anything we feel strongly about regardless of popular opinion.

THAT'S fucking Hip Hop.



I'm still an Anti-Castro Cuban though. [Not that it matters].

"The 3rd World" produced by Dj Green Lantern.



The concept behind the album coming is built around relating the streets here in the US to those that are around the world. To illustrate that no matter what we face here our native post-colonial lands are suffering 1000 times worse. To create more communication between this country and Latin America and Africa, Eastern Europe, South East Asia, all those lands that were under European or American rule less than 20 years ago in some places. For far too long we have been separated by petty rivalries and the unfathomably counterproductive superiority complexes that divide our people. No matter how difficult the conditions of our lives are in this nation they are still incomparable to those of the people who we were once a part of overseas or right across the border. Revolution is about a constant movement. Instead of retreating I choose to advance. I chose to build my alliances stronger with my peoples overseas and here in this nation, to show them that this album/mixtape has something for everyone. In style of music as well as the struggle.


The struggle that is playing itself out between the small resistance left that fights for the culture and soul of Hip Hop is what I see around the world, it opened my eyes to that fact that we are not outnumbered, just not organized as much as we should be. I look forward to building with more people from Africa, South America, Central America, this doesn’t mean that I can sit here and do songs with everyone that hits me up because realistically it’s impossible for me to live my life and work on my Revolutionary projects and help everyone else with their career but I will work with a few and I will reach out to people across the world to support this project. The album/mixtape addresses not just local issues but how they are related to our own lives here in the US. We cannot afford to lose that connection to the rest of the world, especially in this day and age where the ability to reach across the world is in our hands. Our Revolution must be spread all over the world.


The single is receiving good reviews so far, you all should add your own.

I know there is some confusion about whether this was The Middle Passage or Revolutionary Vol.3, it is not. I was originally working on these album’s which will still be released but Dj Green Lantern and Southpaw just kept hitting me with songs and I am a writer by nature as much as I am a soldier I kept writing. So much so that I eventually had to compile these songs that I felt could not just be lost even though they didn’t fit the conceptuality of Revolutionary Vol.3. They were their own entity, they tested my flow and breathe control which I refined, my voice slightly raspy because I would come home from tour and jump right in the studio but I’m a grown man now and naturally I can’t sound like I did on Vol.1 or even most of Vol.2. This desire to write led me to want to expand that horizon for other people… and so I designed a writing contest and my staff helped me to facilitate a way to putting it out there to people. (Please check the blog on my page for more details.) The 3rd World Writing Contest is now on my page, so anyone that is in high school please check it out and join us.

Today, at around 2pm, our dear friend, family member and musical collaborator Tero “CAMU TAO” Smith passed away in his home town of Columbus, Ohio. Tero had been quietly fighting for his life for the last year and a half after being diagnosed with lung cancer.

To those who knew Tero, he was an almost uncategorizable force of nature. Wild, hilarious, proud, loving, tough, outspoken, spontaneous and brilliant. He wore his heart on his sleeve and he dripped creativity, leaving inspiration and awe in the hearts and minds of anyone who was fortunate enough to see him work.

We, his friends and family, have truly had our collective hearts broken by his passing. Not only because of the loss of our friend, but because of the loss of his contribution to those who never knew what we knew about his talent and his potential. He was the secret that no one wanted to keep and we always knew that one day his vision and his heart could change music forever the way he changed all of our lives.

His departure from us all 1 month away from his 31st birthday is nothing less than a tragedy… nothing less than a crime. he was a gift to us all and he is irreplaceable. Rest in peace, Mu. We will love you forever. May god bless you and your family.

R.I.P.
Tero “CAMU TAO” Smith
born 6/26/77, passed 5/25/08

'Suspicious' fire destroys rapper 50 Cent's home


DIX HILLS, New York (AP) -- A multimillion-dollar home at the center of a bitter dispute between 50 Cent and the mother of his son was destroyed by a suspicious fire early Friday.
Six people, including 50's ex-girlfriend Shaniqua Tompkins and their 10-year-old son, Marquise, were taken to a hospital after suffering smoke inhalation and later released. A firefighter also suffered a minor eye injury, officials said.

50, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, doesn't live in the home and wasn't there at the time.

"Informed this morning while filming a new motion picture on location in Louisiana, Curtis Jackson expressed deep concern over this fire at his property," a representative for 50 said in a statement. "He is extremely thankful that everyone including his son, Marquise, escaped the burning house safely. He is confident that authorities will be conducting a thorough investigation of the incident and is eager to review their findings."

The home was essentially burned to the ground, with charred embers and wreckage littering the lot where the home once stood in the tree-lined neighborhood in Dix Hills.

Investigators from the Suffolk County arson squad were called to the scene after Dix Hills Fire Chief Larry Feld deemed the blaze suspicious. The fire was reported at 4:59 a.m. and was extinguished about 45 minutes later, Feld said. The arson squad had finished its work at the scene six hours after the blaze.

He referred the case to the arson squad "because of the intensity of the fire, and also being that who belongs to the house."

Police said the victims included the rapper's former girlfriend Shaniqua Tompkins and two of her children, including a son fathered by 50 Cent named Marquise. Three other adults in the home weren't immediately identified.

A passing off-duty police officer helped rescue the six people off an elevated deck in the home's backyard, Feld said.

The home has been the subject of an intense feud between 50 and Tompkins.

Tompkins filed a lawsuit against 50 earlier this year claiming he had promised her a house more than a decade ago, but that since their breakup, he now wants to evict her and their 10-year-old son from the home.

Tompkins' lawyer, Paul Catsandonis, told The Associated Press in a telephone interview that the dispute over the house had become "extremely, extremely contentious" in recent days. Although he declined to be specific, he said there was an "extremely dangerous incident" Monday in his Manhattan office while taking a deposition for the lawsuit.

The dispute was "involving the parties in question," he said.

He said the case was back on the calendar in state Supreme Court in Manhattan on June 10.

Catsandonis said the 31-year-old rapper paid about $2.4 million for the house last year, one of the largest in the Long Island neighborhood of Dix Hills. He said 50, who grew up surrounded by violence and was once shot outside his grandmother's Queens home in 2000, had told the 32-year-old Tompkins that he wanted her and their son to live in a safe and secure place.

He also contended the rapper signed an agreement that would give Tompkins half of all his earnings as a hip-hop superstar. "Everything that's his is hers, everything that's hers is his. He memorialized in an e-mail that he intended to give her the house."
