Homeboy Sandman, P. Casso, & Von Pea – SXSW Cypher

Posted in Artists, Live Performances, Videos on March 28th, 2009 by Hyphen

I’m pretty sure I walked right by this as it was winding down and I was hustling in to the Nah Right & Smoking Section Showcase in Austin.  These kind of impromptu cyphers were breaking out all over the city just cause the vibe was like this all weekend.  Shout to Sandman, P. Casso, Low Key, and the Hip-Hop Official folks, all of whom I met for the first time down there (the shout to Tanya Morgan goes without saying!).

Cook Classics on Hip-Hop Official

Posted in Artists, Other Peoples' Interviews, Videos on February 25th, 2009 by Hyphen

Chyea, go ‘head Cook.  If you aren’t familiar with the homey Will, you need to get familiar.  He’s insanely talented and as he mentioned, he’s producing full ideas and making soundscapes that go above and beyond merely “making beats.”  [Mos] Get his rookie card now, while the price is cheap [/Def].

Shout to Greg, Tunj, and the whole 5-C’s.

Black Milk on Hip-Hop Official

Posted in Artists, Other Peoples' Interviews, Videos on August 27th, 2008 by Hyphen

These Hip-Hop Official dudes have good taste.  They keep making great selections for their “artist of the week” spotlight and here’s their newest pick, the one and only Black Milk.  Milk speaks on the Detroit sound and how his music fits into that vibe.  Seattle people: remember that he’ll be coming to Neumos on Sept. 12th with Elzhi at the Red Bull Big Tune Beat Battle…

Swiped from Nah Right.

Buff1 on Hip-Hop Official

Posted in Artists, Other Peoples' Interviews, Videos on August 22nd, 2008 by Hyphen

Let’s keep the A-Side Worldwide theme going for another post, shall we?  Buff sits down with HHO and discusses the sounds and messages in his new album, There’s Only One.  He’s on point with “Beat The Speakers Up.”  That’s just what Sound Session does every weekend.

Kardinal Offishall on Hip-Hop Official

Posted in Artists, Other Peoples' Interviews, Videos on July 24th, 2008 by Hyphen

Here’s a new interview with Kardinal from Hip-Hop Official Offishall.  Some nice basic info is discussed, but I must say, the interview we just did with him smashes this one.  I’ll have that for y’all next week, since I’m going to air The Game interview this weekend.  Anyway, Kardi is the man and I’m psyched he’s getting some good publicity this time around.

Spotted on 2 Dope Boyz.
