Now here is an MC who has influenced Hip Hop and rap like hardly anyone else has done, both in content and form – KRS One, the teacher, one half of Boogie Down Productions, the creator of so many important classic albums, the founder of the Temple of Hip Hop, and a master of ceremony on stage like no other. We’d even go so far and say that it is hardly possible to exaggerate his importance in Hip Hop History, and the man is definitely still on a mission. If you want to witness the one and only, here is your chance to see that the real Hip Hop is ova here!!

Obviously, Europe has been waiting for the man with the mask for years. Known as KMD in the early 90s and blessed with one of the most amazing flows in rap ever, it seems everyone was dying to see the genius in his many disguises – as Metal Fingers, King Geedorah, Viktor Vaughn, Monster Island Czars, Madvillain, DangerDoom and mainly as Doom, with or without the MF. Now here is your chance to see if he can also bring it live. In the studio, he makes the Hip Hop world shiver like no other, so bring it on, we are ready to celebrate the villain!

Black Milk from Detroit is one of those rising stars in Hip Hop that shine so bright you can’t help but notice. And Black Milk does get noticed – undeniably one of the best producers around these days and, beside that, also a great MC, his new album prides itself with the the title “Album Of The Year” – and we think justifiably so! We dare you to come convince yourself – he will tour his album in Europe with a live set up consisting of Black Milk himself, the spectacular Daru Jones on the drums and Aaron AB Abernaty on the Keys. And we so look forward!!!

Here is a tour that combines two creative minds – Akil The MC of Jurassic 5, who have always stood for that pure funky Hip Hop with an open mind and music to party to old school style, and Louis Logic from NY, Mr Sin-A-Matic who thinks that misery loves comedy, who has always made music his own way, outside the box, and in recent times, has liked to venture into playing piano live and singing. We say interesting, and definatly very worthwhile checking out, so come catch the rare treats if you are around the two shows they will be playing!!

Frank Nitt and his group Frank N Dank stand for the dirty Detroit Dilla sound like no other group around. Delicious Vinyl has noticed that too and signed him for a summer release called “Jewels in My Backpack EP”, which he comes to promote. So if you want to catch him and party with the Nitt and the D, here is where you gotta go!

For a sneak preview on the ww and w, check here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIBItOj_LGU. Come and get treated, we are a huge fan!!!!

Both AG of DITC & Sadat X of Brand Nubian are classic MCs who can still more than hold up their own these days – on new albums as well as live. Which is what they do when they come out to Europe, and what a combination it is! AG just released his new album “Everything’s Berri” and still gets plenty dirty on the mic. Sadat X just released “Wild Cowboys II”, and everything time he starts to rhyme, you realize again and again what a real dope MC he is, with a voice that is definitely like no other. We say keep going strong like you do, cuz even if some people may have forgotten these days – Hip Hop still needs you!!!

Here is another perfect rapper-producer combination – Freeway & Jake One release their new album on Rhymesayers. Both have been around for a while – Jake One has produced beats for more than many, amongst them De La Soul or 50 Cent, and manages to do both the commercial and the underground and always remains dope. His album with Freeway is also not his first one on Ryhmesayers – 2008 saw his solo album “White Van Music”. And Freeway from Philadelphia we should all know from his time at Roc-A-Fella. Let’s quote the album’s press release: “Freeway sets out to stimulate the Hip Hop industry by signing into law the Hip Hop Recovery and Reinvestment Act with the release of The Stimulus Package. Produced entirely by veteran G-Unit producer Jake One, The Stimulus Package showcases some of Freeway’s most dynamic and engaging work to date. Since his breakout Roc-A-Fella debut Philadelphia Freeway in 2003, which achieved gold status, Freeway has been regarded as “your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper”. The collaboration of heavyweights Freeway & Jake One makes The Stimulus Package already one of the year’s most anticipated releases.” Let’s see how this duo’s great music will do on stage, we expect to be highly stimulated, obviously!
