2006 Hip-Hop Summit Action Network 'Get Your Money Right' Financial Empowerment Tour Launches March 25
email quote::
"The "Get Your Money Right" tour will include stops in five additional cities, including April 22 in New York, May 20 in Miami, September 16 in Atlanta, September 30 in Los Angeles and October 14 in Dallas.

The agenda includes a focus on financial literacy, basics of banking, repairing and understanding credit scores, asset and wealth management, vehicle financing and home ownership. "Poverty and basic lack of knowledge must be challenged," emphasized Russell Simmons, Chairman of HSAN.

"Get Your Money Right' is more than a theme. It is an achievable goal when you have the right information. We have high aspirations, but we know to fulfill the aspirations of the hip-hop generation, we have to take the subjects of financial literacy and empowerment seriously and talk with youth in a manner appealing to them."

Top Three

Sorry for the neglecting ya'll....I'm back tho' so let's get it...here are some more links, emails, and thing you might want to know about......

Did you know that MC Hammer has a blog?
taken from Maturation of Hip Hop, Chapter 1 post..

"Until this day these cowardly scribes have never come clean and accepted their collective responsibilities. They still glorify any artist who says, "I was shot" or, "I just got out." Keep in mind that in the streets the one who did the shooting was the gansta. Only in the world of the diconnected and fearful could the victims become the heroes. They write from the standpoint of survival in their minds. They are not alone as their stories are repeated, hyped and sensationalized by radio squares who couldn't point their way to the hood but sound on the air like some of the downest cats ever. Now this acting and attitude has spilled over to Hip Hop chat rooms and forums. These "instant message killers" and "text bangers" all sound and talk so tough in these forums. Stop it man and be yourself. Grow up. Render your opinions without the drama. But I digress. Back to the Eighties."

What's Poppin.net is the move for real....Young Jeeszy "Get Ya Mind Right", Cam "Wet Wipes", Rick ROss "Chevy Ridin' Hot" and more on the MP3 player..Videos too...

"People 'ashamed' of 3-6....what about KRS ONE! Come inside to see true ignorance."
The post that has the audio clips of KRS-One blacking out at Stamford! Wow!

Peace to the CEB crew for another night of pure hip hop! The live heat was provided by El Da Sensei, Oh No, DJ Romes, Med and Roc C, Aspect and Middle Men, but the DJ Romes-J Dilla tribute was extra nice. The B-Boys were in full effect as the breakers circle expanded and kept the vibe true while Dilla's beats banged lovely in the air. Nice with Henny, no ice, and my lady sippin on some white wine, by my side, noddin' to the drums. The night was so peace that we forgot to do any work like take pictures and shit. My bad. I do have some older pics of alot of the same B-Boys that were in the spot Sunday night, and I will be posting them soon so stay tuned!!
Big shouts to Quinto Sol by the way!!

email sent from Arista/J Records Publicity

CASSIDY SPEAKS OUT ABOUT NOT GUILTY CHARGES

FULL SURFACE/J RECORDS ANNOUNCE PLANS TO READY NEW ALBUM

NEW SINGLE "CASSIDY (THE ANTHEM)" TO HIT STORES FEBRUARY 28 (New York, NY - February 1, 2006)

Full Surface/J Records is ferventlygearing up for the return of Cassidy to the hip-hop forefront with theFebruary 28 commercial 12-inch release of the much-talked about single"Cassidy (The Anthem)," a song previously recorded but not featured onCassidy's sophomore album I'm A Hustla.

"Cassidy (The Anthem)" will also be available as a master ringtone via all carriers on January 31,while the digital single will be available for download on February 14. Currently serving the rest of his term and looking forward to a release within the next two to three months, Cassidy provided the following statement regarding the recent turn of events via his defense attorney, Fortunato Perri:

"While I am pleased that I was cleared of the murder charges, my satisfaction is not long-lasting, because of the death of someone who I considered to be my friend, Des Hawkins. And while I am eager to resume my career as a recording artist, writer and performer, I am also eager to be reunited with my family, friends, and fans. I too share the important message stated in court by Des's dad, who urged all parents to love their children, and to be there for them. As the father of a young child myself, spending much time on the road and in the studio, away from home, I am relieved that I will soon be home for family and my career."

Upon his release, Cassidy will head back into the studio with producer-extraordinaire and CEO of Full Surface Records, Swizz Beatz, to record what is destined to be one of the most poignant recordings of Cassidy's burgeoning career.

"I'd like to first thank radio and all of his fans for their love and support during this time, and let everyone know that when Cassidy gets out, do not expect us to promote this situation as a cocky and violent situation, but as a blessed situation," says Swizz Beatz. "Cass will continue to make great music, but in a positive way, educating the youth that violence is never the answer. We'll do the rest of the talking with the music."

You have been warned!!! Don't make a brother walk down to the Garden Level and arrest your trifflin' azz in front of your folkers. I'm not hatin, but if that's your hustle.....you need a new hustle!

2006

What's the word party people? The holidaze are finally over, and the new year is here. Hope you all had fun and made it on the new side in one piece. I'm still here, doing my thing, hustling day and night, trying to make a dollar outta fifteen pennies. So far it's working. For that alone, I am grateful. I am also grateful for all the new friends and connections I have made out here in sunny California, as well as my family and friends scattered all over the world for always being there. Hope this year bring us all happiness and blessings.

Things are moving along according to plan here at the compound. Topanga Soap Company continues to win new customers and the website has been tweaked and fine tuned. Our product line can now be found at The Dock-Downtown, LA Mart, online at The Beauty Drawer, as well as own home site. LiveStream LA.com came out the gate swinging and landed some hot video performance exclusive from RZA, Psycho Realm, DJ Muggs vs GZA. Big things are in store for the new year so stay tuned to the fastest growing music streaming website out of Los Angeles. Headshots Entertainment and Godz Inc. are both constantly in the lab, working on the next masterpiece. With the release of Prodigal Sunn's latest CD, "The Return Of The Prodigal Sun" in stores now, both P and B. Original have their eyes set on 2006 and are getting ready. B-Original released his mix CD, "Code Red Mixtape" this year and the next one is sure to be that fire! Be on the look-out for the Prodigal Sunn mixtape soon and the new website Tims And Brims.com! Yung Masta is continuing to work on his solo CD as well, and you can hear more of him on both mixtapes. If you don't know who Yung Masta is...check your "Return Of The Prodigal Sunn" CD again and do the knowledge. And my little jump off, Cuegen Management, looks ready to jump off this year, fully. You know I'll hit you with any news or info that happen to come my way, as usual.

So with all that, I think we're set. Let's get this party started. Big shouts to you to if your reading this. Hope this helps you feel better if your still wasted from last night.

Chinky Eyed Fridays Presents FunkDoobiest Live At The Knitting Factory

CEB Events continues to host the hottest underground hip-hop shows in Hollywood. From The GZA to Psycho Realm, Chinky Eyed brings the illest underground emcees to ever rock the microphone to the West Side! This last Friday was no exception as CEB had the funkiest one onstage!

The line was filled out the door and around the block and underground heads waited patiently for the stars of the night. Funk Doobiest, Sabac of Non Phixion in his first LA show, and Mr. Hyde of Circle Of Tyrants were in the house! This was a night of true underground sounds and old school favorites, and the crowd was ready to rock! I made my way through the line with the rest of the LSLA crew and hit the door and after a quick stop at the bar, we settled in and watched the show.

Mr. Hyde was the first to perform, and he tore it down early! The crowd was amped for the Circle of Tyrants emcee as he took the girls back to the barn of the naked dead! After that it was time for the Sabacolypse, as Sabac got on stage! The LA crowd showed him mad love as his first show in Los Angeles was off the chain. After terrorizing the crowd, it was time for the headliner, Funk Doobiest, to take it back to 93! Son Doobie and Raplh M the Mexican rocked the house and reminded the crowd at the Knitting Factory which Doobie they B! As Son skip around the stage, he went through his hit songs like “The Funkiest”, “I’m Shittin’ On Em”, “Freak Mode”, “Rock On” and of course “Bow Wow Wow”. I was trippin' for a minute, catching hip-hop flashbacks of me bumpin' "The Funkiest" up and down Lafayette Road waaaaaaaay back in the day in Tennessee! It was good to see Son Doobie and Ralph getting busy again, and the rest of the crowd seemed to feel the same way!

Hip-hop’s elite stopped by to show some love to Son Doobie as well. We managed to chop it up backstage with Mr. Hyde, Mellow Man Ace and 2Mex stopped by to show some love. We even bumped into Adrian Grenier, star of HBO’s hit show Entourage, backstage! Seems he was next door, performing with his band “The Honey Brothers” while FunkDoobiest was onstage. He kicked it with us for a second and rocked a ill (and I do mean ill) beat box while Mellow Man Ace kicked a freestyle. It’s a classic Hip-Hop Hollywood moment, and we got the exclusive video clips and interviews at Live Streams LA.com! For pictures from the show, make sure you check out CEBEvents.com

What’s the word? Hope your ready for the holidays and everything is everything in your neck of the hoods. Speaking of hoods, big up to Schenectady on the check in! I see you out there! Save me an after holiday plate, yaoming!?!

The holiday rush has taken over big time out here in Hollywood.

Much thanks to Chang and the Guerilla Union crew, Supernat and everyone that fell through and showed some love!

This weekend was filled with hip-hop events as well, as Chinky Eyed Fridays had Funk Doobiest, Sabac Red of Non-Phixion, and Mr. Hyde at the Knitting Factory in Hollywood. Guru was in town as well, but I missed that one. The next night, The Normandie Casino welcomed the legendary Blastmaster KRS-One to LA!

CD Review: T.O.K. “Unknown Language”

The New York Times calls T.O.K. "the word’s greatest dancehall-reggae boy band" with good reason. With their blend of harmony and dancehall toasting, the young group continues to win new fans worldwide. With their past hits like “Gal You Ah Lead” & “Hit ‘Em Hit”, & “My Crew, My Dawg” paving the way, the Jamaican group has returned with their new CD, “Unknown Language”.

The CD has been in stores since June, and judging from the rave reviews it has gotten so far, several songs off the CD are sure to be on your favorite DJ’s play lists for a while.
The lead song by far is “Footprints” a song inspired by the classic Mary Steven’s poem. It has since become an anthem for anyone who has gone through tragedy. The song continues to be a radio hit nationwide, and the CD has a few other radio ready cuts up it’s sleeve.

Reggaeton/hip-hop star Pitbull teams up with the Taking Over Kingston crew, on “She’s Hotter”. “Tell Me If You Still Care” borrows the S.O.S. Band’s famous song for a nice R&B twist. “Hey Ladies” has more than enough energy for your club dance floor, while “Survivior” takes the same riddim Sean Paul rode on “We Be Burning”. “Gal You Ah Lead” is on here as well, in case you didn’t get it the first time around, as is the pure fire riddim of “Neck Breakers”. All in all, T.O.K. have not only taken over Kingston, but the entire world with this new one.

Final Verdict-T.O.K. “Unknown Language”= The official word in the new dancehall swing! Nuff respect!
