WHYGEE "CHUMPS IN PINK"

Press Play.

chumpsin pink


If you know Whygee you knows he stays in constant pursuit of a studio session. Like the late great 2Pac, Whygee is one of those Rappers who is always busy adding songs to his catalog. Not one to put quantity above quality though, this Colorado MC is easily one of our favorite Rappers here at The Report.

Rest assured we will keep you up on all future moves this cat makes. In the meantime you can download Whygee's official mixtape, Hype Killz, for FREE.

(Whygee is performing live almost every day for the next month, you can check out his concert calendar by visting his Myspace page)

DJ CYSKO ROKWEL @ DMC CHAMPIONSHIPS

DJ Cysko Rokwel (Crunk Brothers/3 The Hardway/Basementalism)



Bonus Cysko



The Crunk Brothers are like the fuckin Allies or Beat Junkies of Colorado.

Their crew consists of DJ Discord, DJ Tense, DJ Thought, DJ Mier, DJ Shake, DJ Es Nine, and DJ Cysko Rokwel...

3 THE HARDWAY IN CONCERT

Coming soon, exclusive music from 3 The Hardway, but for now, come see this all star trio of Hip Hoppers live in concert at one of the following events!





































If you haven't ever seen 3 The Hardway, you should really support, and we'll tell you why.

All sorts of know nothing fans will shell out dollar dollar bills all day to bring out groups from the east coast, complete with 3 hype men, a prop DJ who does nothing, etc...

At the same time, here in Colorado, we have a group that centers its live performance around their champion DJ, Cysko Rokwel, who is constantly adding live scratches, who is constantly changing the beat live on two turntables, and who is given two showcases to do his Battle Routines every time 3 The Hardway takes the stage.

Everybody talks about Real Hip Hop, but when Rock the Bells or Paid Dues comes to town I don't see ONE artist on stage who is doing anything as REAL as what these cats are doing. You've all seen it before, east coast rapper will stop the show half way through and give his "who is the backbone of the culture?" speech, before introducing ass DJ who will do a few body tricks, in addition to a wick-wack juggle of "It Takes Two".

Word.

DJ VAJRA DEMO REEL



Some of you may be surprised to learn that DJ Vajra is also a sick producer, and that he bangs out some of the hottest beats in Colorado.

Check out Vajra Beats.

1865 "I Am Gangster I Am Monkey"

Press Play.



From the Sodium Girl EP.

Emily McLean "Man on Fire"








This is the lead single from Emily McLean's upcoming EP.

After we posted 1865's music on our blog last week, we hit him up and he promptly steered us in the direction of this young vocalist from Brooklyn, who is scheduled to record the EP at the beginning of the year, and have it pressed for a European tour next summer.

1865 reps Lafayette, CO, and is out in San Francisco currently. He is someone we look forward to keeping our eyes and ears on.

You can visit Emily McLean's Myspace Page to preview more music from the upcoming EP, entirely produced and co-written by 1865.

We are really feeling the way they put this one together, with 1865 writing the lyrics to "Man on Fire" and Emily McLean performing them over his production.

1865 "MEN FROM SPACE"






Kid Hum dropped this song in our inbox last week, and its been on rewind ever since.

Its been featured on better blogs than ours, so we'll let you read what THEY had to say.

MEN FROM SPACE ON ROCK THE DUB

MEN FROM SPACE ON BANG THE BOX

Produced by Kid Hum

Written by 1865

SAMIR


















For those of you who don't know about Samir, he has been putting it down a LONG time here in Colorado.

First, as a member of the Accumen, and now as one half of The Reminders with MC Aja Black.

So now they got this new album out, ReCollect, but we've said too much already, lets let them take it from here.

JUDGEMENTAL FROM BASEMENTALISM


















Everybody knows Judge, that's because for over 6 years he has been the host of Basementalism Radio. He has probably interviewed you.

Anyways, after paying more than enough dues, the voice of Basementalism is finally moving on up (at least in pay scale), as he has now landed a job at KTCL, 93.3.

Next stop Sportcenter? We'd put money on it.

Offical Statement from Judgemental:


That's right folks, check me out tomorrow morning from 6-10 AM on 93.3's Saturday morning program First Trax with Ralphie where we'll be playing tons of hip hop for all you early rising riders and skiers making the commute up to the mountains. This show is pretty ill, Ralphie's been working hard to incorporate more hip hop into the playlists over at 93.3 and I am more than happy to jump on board and help him fight the good fight!

Then, once your run is over you can hop back into your car and fix the dial on 1190am at 4pm - 7pm for Basementalism, 3hours of commercial free underground hip hop.


That's right folks, 7 hours of your boy Judge babbling in your speaker all day tomorrow!!

For those that are out of range and need their fix online go here for First Trax on 93.3 from 6-10 MST:

Area93.com

Then go here for Basementalism on 1190 4-7 MST: Radio 1190

Thank you for the support!

-Judge


Judgemental has already informed us that he is going to be fighting the good fight indeed, dropping underground heat like Bun B's "Damn Im Cold" on the air. Stay tuned.
