RIP DJ SPELL

Brian Caufield aka DJ Spell was murdered this week in LA.

(Editor's Note: As I revisit his Myspace page I am in awe, I had no idea dude had gotten up so much with the graffiti, and had been doing so much music. Brian was incredibly prolific and hardworking, it is going to take A LOT more of these articles for us to truly shed light on the scope of his work. The more time I spend on that Myspace page the more distraught I am over this shit.)

PIECE OF SOUL

This was Brian Caufield's dream and enterprise. For the last 10 years of his life this was Brian's goal, to turn P.O.S. (Product of Society, Piece of Soul) into a successful clothing line and record label.

It hurts me just to write about this.

Brian made his way from Texas, to Colorado, and then to LA, carrying with him the whole time his dream aka P.O.S.

Along the way he recruited many people into his crew, including DJ Cysko Rokwel, DJ Tense, and his brother MC Dusto.

BRIAN CAUFIELDS GRAFFITI

I'm gonna try to keep putting Brian's artwork out there, from music to visual.

Brian Caufield aka DJ Spell aka Chasm was murdered in LA last week, he will be greatly missed.

Being a generous person, he had the opprutunity to touch many lives and to come in contact with many people.

He was the type of person that always left you with a great story to tell about him, full of life and fun to be around. This is so fucked up.

Here is some of his graffiti that he did, Brian really really loved graffiti. Not just painting, but also going out and viewing the work of others and taking notes and analysis.

RIP BRIAN CAUFIELD AKA DJ SPELL

Friend of the Crunk Brothers. Friend to many of us in Colorado.

Murdered in LA this week.

More to come. We are going to post some of his graffiti and beats this month.

RIP DJ SPELL

LIVE FOOTAGE OF 3 THE HARDWAY W/ BRAILLE!

I was actually at this show, and saw this whole thing go down, it was really something.

Basically they were opening up for Braille, and asked him if he could do the "Unusual" song with them live on stage.

So Braille goes out to his car, and sits in his car for 30 minutes practicing the song, and memorizes all the lyrics on the spot.

So when you see this video keep in mind that although it looks like these guys have been doing this song on stage for years, they hadn't even REHEARSED it.

Miraculous.

Press Play.



Taken from the award winning new album from 3 The Hardway entitled "Set in Stone".

THE COLORADO RAP REPORT

Allow us to reintroduce ourselves...



We have created an archive of over 130 articles.

We have not written a single article that does not relate to Colorado.

We have done the entire thing without any compensation.

We have gained high praise from out-of-state Hip Hop fans for the exposure we are giving to Colorado Hip Hop.

We have garnered high praise for Colorado Hip Hop in general from out-of-state writers who typically don't write about anybody from Colorado.

We do it all for the love of Colorado Hip Hop, in an effort to add just a little extra support to our Artists, so that they might get a little bit more exposure at the end of the day.



You're Welcome.

ANOTHER MAGIC FLYER

88 Keys is flying out to Colorado for one show only, its not a part of a tour, its for YOU, Colorado. Check it out, a lot of dope local acts on the bill.

Also, make sure you let the box office know, that as part of your admission fee, you expect the local artists to get PAID. It seems like that has been a bit of a problem lately...




If you want us to promote your shows, it helps to GIF em out real nice like this one.
