CMJ-09 Warm Up at NYC's Santos Party House
So last night was a real Hip Hop night at NYC’s Santos Party House. With CMJ week in NYC kicking off today, Oct 20th thru Oct 24th, this was the perfect way to “Warm Up”.
Clockwork Music, Coalmine Records, Diamond Music Group and Urban Music Alliance presented us with performances by, Skyzoo, Termanology, Emilio Rojas, Kali, Shawn Chrystopher, Lex One, with music provided by DJ Statik Selektah and last but certainly not least my boy Bekay!
Oh wait! We can’t leave out Kosha Dillz! Dillz you did your thing too last night!

Bekay is no stranger to the rap game and homeboy came thru to the venue fully equipped with his own security. It’s quite clear who the heavyweight in this line up was last night, but not just by his confidence and presence off stage. This was actually my first time seeing him perform and there’s really no argument that he stole the show. Bekay is a real performer. His lyrics are hard and he definitely has the stage presence and passion that separates him from the rest. When he arrives on stage you know this is someone and he’s moving right on up. It’s been quite a journey for this emcee from his 2003 record debut with Hungry, Broke & Determined and if you ask me, his rise to the very top is long overdue. His “hunger” has now developed into a “hunger pain” and with the much anticipated album Hunger Pains being released in just a few more weeks (Nov 10th) I know that anyone in the industry that knows anything about Hip Hop will take very serious notice to this emcee. He’s collaborated with producers DJ Babu, Shuko, and The Alchemist to name a few, and I’d like to believe that this is the work that’s going to finally get him the real recognition he deserves.
I got the chance to have a few words with Bekay outside the venue last night after his performance. We got some great footage of all the performances and an exclusive interview with Bekay and a very special freestyle to end things off which you are sure to appreciate. Stay tuned for the video that’s sure to be posted in just a few days. In the meantime, here is the track list for Hunger Pains. Y’all seriously need to go and pre-order this ish ASAP @ www.ughh.com

Let the Son Shyne In
Former Bad Boy artist and Belize born rapper Jamal Barrow aka Shyne, was currently released from prison this past Tuesday after serving eight years in prison for his 2001 conviction of a club shooting while mentor P. Diddy beat the rap. Upon being released from prison he was taken into custody by immigration officials. Regardless of the fact that Shyne was a model prisoner in the Clinton correctional facility, he will be deported back to his home country of Belize in Central America. Shyne reportedly has a "green card", or permanent residence in the U.S. but has never acquired U.S. nationality. Shyne's uncle Michael Finnegan, who is a member of the Belize Cabinet, Minister of Housing and close ally of Shyne's father Prime Minister Dean Barrow, told the media today that if Shyne is deported, he will be welcomed in Belize. Mr. Finnegan who helped raise Shyne as a child in Belize when his mother left for the U.S.A. said that "...his accommodations are ready and waiting for him in Belize if he is deported". Now almost everyone in the hip hop community has been waiting for his release and eagerly awaiting some new material from him, I personally don’t see his being deported as anything to worry about. Many nyc based artists have always shouted him out when he was first locked up and thoughout his entire sentence. Lots of international music artists enjoy a large American fan base without being in the states, and in recent times a lot of collaborating artists don’t even meet each other when doing a joint track. From Shyne's past song producers he always enjoyed a collaboration of his dark and deep vocals with electro, up-tempo grooves, reggae related beats, tweaked synths and overall depth of content. I feel the only thing people should worry about is, if their record sales and fan base will deplete when and if he does drop a record. I’ve heard rumors stating Jay-z might sign Shyne to ROCNation, however this is just a rumor. He has done work with Pharell, Swizzy and his last album, God Father Buried Alive, clearly shows his dislike for 50 Cent. Even if he never records another record, his albums, unreleased tracks/collaborations will always be in my ipod player and his music pumped out of the cars in BKLYN...
