The Midwest is the place I rest. I got family in Detroit, Chicago, TC, Madison, Milwaukwee and even St Louis, dig. Taking a page from Bun B (cuz the Fat Money is toooo tril), "we all different but we all rep the same thangs," namely making good music and hustling like raindrops to get it out there. If yer in any of these areas, show some love:
TONIGHT: Turf Club Announces a Hip-Hop, Jazz and R&B Oriented Night
RELOADED WEDNESDAYS
Wednesday December 10
w/ Great Lion White Snake, Kredentials, Quilombas AND HOUSE DJ – DJ Anton
9:00PM - $4 – 21+
The Turf Club is proud to announce a series of hip-hop, jazz and r&b oriented nights booked by Sean 'Twinkie Jiggles' McPherson of Heiruspecs. The series is called Reloaded Wednesdays, in homage to the Groove Garden series, Freeloaded Wednesdays, that took place in the late 90s at the Front in Minneapolis. The series will bring together new and established acts who don't play fucking rock music.
Wednesday December 10 will be the twelfth Reloaded Wednesday event. The Great Lion White Snake will be taking the Reloaded stage for the first time under this name. The group is a bit of a vehicle for brothers Casey and Graham O'Brien to flex their funk muscles. The brothers O'Brien with Marcus Schmid (Wookiefoot) on organ and Scott Devlin (Test Type 67 and Reverse Cowboy) on guitar and voice. The group flexes their feels over Meters classics and beautiful originals. The flyer says the band is called the Jerry Louis Farrakhan Klezmer Ensemble but they were asked to change their name by the estates of Jerry Louis, Louis Farrahkan and the little known writer Farrakhan Klezmer. The rising hip-hop stars Kredentials are also gracing the Reloaded stage with their presence. This live hip-hop band has been rocking stages across the Twin Cities and making a name for themselves as an air-tight live show. These guys bring an unmistakable energy to their music and their career. Reloaded is honored to have them on the stage.Quilombolas are one of the most well-known bands to be joining the Reloaded scene and their reputation precedes them. This Minneapolis based world-fusion band has been playing together for many years and their style has cemented them as one of the most sought after acts in the Twin Cities. DJ Anton will be manning the wheels of steel and killing it as he is wont to do when on those tables. DRINKING JENGA continues, no crazy drinking games, just jenga with a beer in your secondary hand.
(good stuff...)
or, a little further East:
My man D. Allie is a hungry cat who is deep in this rap shit. He'll be playing a big show in Detroit at the Magic Bag with a handful of other big acts, including always-tight Street Justice. Here's a song download from dude to wet yer appetites: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Q71DK64N.
Also, check my man youtubing it to see what the hustle is about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQW75p1dyMc
D. Allie has some good thoughts on rap and what it means to be an artist, which are including in his "Musician's Manifesto," which I'll be sharing with you all in due time. For now, head over to Michigan and check out this show. While yer there give the dilsnik to them auto execs, bailout these nuts old man. FTW (Forever Two Wheels)!
