You already know as we’ve been telling ya’ll for quite some time. HipHopDX is taking notice by putting up an article that features the likes of your favorite dopeboyz on the internets, the rest of the New Music Cartel as well as someotherkeyplayers in this internets shit. Good looks on this Jake!
Today has been dreadful. Not because of the music, well maybe. Besides my personal shit all this music is making me crazy. There was like 9080912 mixtapes that have dropped the last 2 days! Dah well, this is Lessondary bitch! A 2DBz x Che Grand collab, featuring Von Pea, Donwill, 8thW1, Spec Boogie and more. Don’t sleep and hit the jump for Che’s thoughts on this project, artwork, tracklist & download link…
On Wednesday, November 5th, Camp Lo will debut six new tracks, one for each blog in the New Music Cartel. On that day, each site will reveal it’s own individual clue that will direct the listener to a specific point in that site’s particular song. The resulting six words answer the question: What does Lumdi mean?
The first person to email the correct sentence answering that question to camplonmc@gmail.com wins Cheeba and Suede’s jackets from the official Lumdi video, as well as autographed copies of Uptown Saturday Night and Let’s Do It Again. The clothes come from Camp Lo’s upcoming fashion line, and the aforementioned CD’s are extremely rare!
Reacquaint your ears with Camp Lo as they prepare their latest album, A Piece of The Action, at their MySpace page or their Loud.com page and drop them a line. In the meantime, expect more original music, remixes and videos for your viewing and listening pleasure. More Feddi!!
You already know. We’ve been saying it since jump. NMC is taking over and Duck Down Records knows what’s up as they decided to team up with us to release the latest mixtape from their camp. The Prelude, which serves as an appetizer to his upcoming solo debut Sean Price Presents… Ruste Juxx – Indestructable, which drops October 28th!
With the release of Fresh Rhymes & Videotape v.1 this past Tuesday on Decon, we’ve teamed up to give away a few items. People still like free shit right? I was planning to post this alot earlier, but you know … the move and all. Anyways, how about some CDs, DVDs & t-shirts? If you’re unfamiliar with the Fresh Rhymes & Videotape Tour… A. slap yourself and B. hit the jump for more info, a nifty little image of the items and how exactly to win…
SHAKE: Where do I start? I remember when the idea was just that … an idea I pitched to Meka with no exact expectations. I wish I could remember some of the titles we were gonna run with. The Tapedeck, Paid in Full, Can We Live, etc. There were some great ones and some horrible ones. I’m glad we ran with 2dopeboyz, because it embodies exactly what we are haha. I never thought we’d be at where we are so quick. I remember when we hit that 1millie mark. Once we hit 2 millie so quick I knew it was a wrap. I have a bunch of shit to say and a bunch of people to thank but I’ve gotta continue packing. So just know I appreciate any and everything ya’ll do for us. Thanks for keeping in tune with the dopeboyz as we venture to take over the industry like we promised just one year ago.
MEKA: I can’t believe it’s been a year already. Hell, I didn’t even know what I’d be doing when I was approached with the idea last year. I am however eternally grateful for the opportunity I was given, and it has no doubt played a huge part in essentially every endeavor I’ve done in the past 366 (leap year, bidges). Many thanks to Shake for essentially taking a chance on an angry Black blogger (I ain’t mad no more like Skillz, though), and I thank everybody who has visited, commented, downloaded, talked shit, downloaded then talked shit, collaborated, all that good stuff. Here’s to another 12 months of delivering the goods this culture desperately needs, and be on the lookout for much bigger and better things in the future.
… Small Professor! Big ups to everyone that submitted their remixes. There we’re a lot of surprisingly dope versions and some expected wack ones. But I can speak for the dopeboyz & Meka and say that we we’re pleased with the results. And if it weren’t for my incredible talent at the art of forgetting shit, this would’ve been done awhile ago haha. Thanks for keeping faith Tor haha…
The Chef is HipHopOfficial’s Artist of the Week. Very dope. Watch above as Rae speaks on OB4CL2, Outkast and longevity in the game. Speaking of ‘kast, there’s a great possibility that they will be involved in our upcoming project. Details won’t be released until I’m sure everything is a go and we get the ball rolling, but expect HUGE things from the dopeboyz.
So I got an email the other day saying we were nominated for the Music Lover Blog of the Year and the Come-Up Blog awards. So I figured I would pass the page to ya’ll if you wanted to vote (for us, or not). They are allowing nominations until the 15th of October then the sites with the most nominations get put in the finals for voting. Why not right? And feel free to add us in any other category you see fit
As the title and image above state the submissions for the Switch Remix Contest that Torae & your favorite dopeboyz are putting on are due today (Tuesday)! I meant to put up a reminder over the weekend but we all know Shake is a space cadet and forgets atleast three things a day. So you have until Midnight on the west coast. Good luck and get to firing off that email (switch.remix[at]gmail[dot]com).
What would a hip-hop drama be without a love scene? This week over RL’s original score, Jorge comes to grips with the fact that his best friend Stacks just may be playing him. Last week they were jacked for their bricks by a pair of dirty cops and while Jorge is still trying to work the angles and figure out what went wrong, he can’t get Isabel off of his mind. But is Isabel just a jump-off or is her connection to Jorge deeper than we think? I hope you guys have been listening, it may seem like we slowed down a bit, but there is a ton of shit going on if you pay attention. You’ll thank me in the end! Shouts to Andre Pitt and the homie Ones for the great flick! – Cyph
