I am extremely late posting this…DJ Head released #ThePyrex a few months ago, just listening to it now. Better late than never.
As I type Cadillac Music featuring Civi Madhi is playing for the second time.
Cadillac Music featuring Civi Mahdi
Civi is a talent. He also appears on Bodied with Marvo, and S-Class Sonny for the Queen sampling track.
This is a true mixtape featuring 19 artists by my count..
Wash My Car featuring Willie The Kid
Wash My Car by Willie is nasty.
Get It Together featuring Rude Bwoy Pat Pat
Get It Together featuring Mutt & Rude Bwoy Pat Pat is now playing, I believe they performed this track at our Scene & Heard Concert Series last spring…Nice. Speaking of Scene & Heard, expect it’s return in March.
Tekh Togo’s Drug Years is also a good listen. Solid Tape Overall.
Pyrex Vision by Young Hash
Another song to check is Pyrex Vision by Young Hash. Delivery, voice, confessional.. This track reminds me of first hearing Hell Rell on Diplomatic Immunity.
Some video of Danny Brown, Tekh Togo and Jon Connor from last Friday at The Pyramid Scheme in Grand Rapids, MI. A lot of familiar faces in there… Shout to Mike Saunders and Jonathan Jelks. 5iveit.
Tekh Togo, 1/3 of Scene & Heard, recently released this song as part of The Seventh’s project, Elevator Music. Find more from Tekh on twitter @tekhtogo and check in with The Seventh HERE. 5iveit.
5iiiiiiveeiiiiit. Check Tekh’s new video with Willie The Kid conversing for a verse… several other Grand Rapidians make cameos.
Don’t forget Scene & Heard w/ Nitty Scott MC, SuperDre, Meagan McNeal w/ DC, and Sarge Tha Dame tomorrow at Billy’s Lounge in Grand Rapids.
April 27th.
Nitty just dropped a new street album with Cleveland’s own, DJ Mick Boogie. You can stream it live or download it for free over at DJ Booth.
She will be performing in Michigan later this month at our concert series, SCENE & HEARD, April 27th @ Billy’s Lounge... It is sure to be a classic night.
Jonathan Jelks introduced me to her music and I’m pretty sure I’m in love. This project serves as the official prelude to Scott’s upcoming EP, Boombox Diaries Vol. 1. Here’s, “I Luv My Life”, from The Cassette Chronicles.
We (Tekh Togo, Jelks, and Myself) feel blessed to be able to bring new performers and unique shows to Grand Rapids. April 27th @ Billy’s is going to be another one to remember. Check Nitty’s interview and freestyle on AllHipHop Radio, also featured on The Cassette Chronicles.Damn.

If you follow the blog you know I’ve been talking about this event for a while now. The day is finally upon us, tomorrow night it all goes down.
The PRE-PARTY at ACK is from 7-9pm. During the party all store merchandise is 15% off, plus complimentary adult beverages if you’re old enough. Willie, Jon, Tekh, and DJ Head will all be in the building, as will my beard. DJ Omega Supreme will be spinning during the ACK Pre-Party. Some signatures will be signed and some pictures taken.
At 9:30pm the main event kicks off at Billy’s Lounge. This show is sure to be high energy all damn night long. Here’s some reasons why you should check it out.
Grand Rapids native, Willie The Kid is fresh off the release of his new mixtape, The Fly 2, contining to build on his already solid fan base.
Here’s Willie and Jon together on One Time, from The Fly 2.
Jon Connor has been on a nationwide tear of stages and internet sites as of late, as he preps several projects including Vinnie Chase Season Vol. 2.
Both Jon and Willie have collaborated with and/or received praise from greats such as Nas, Styles P, T.I., Busta Rhymes, and Lil Wayne.
Tekh Togo is a deliberate, focused lyricist who paints descriptive pictures with his pen, a true curator of this culture. Togo continually crafts quality material whether as a solo artist or thru his many collaborations.
DJ Head is consistently working with hip-hop’s elite both behind the mixing board and turntables. He has helped craft mixtapes for various artists including: Cory Gunz and Willie The Kid. Check out an article from MTV.com featuring the man of many trades, HERE.
Also, since my beard will be hosting the night… I’ll probably freestyle and blow minds.
Finally, There will be Liquor and Beer Specials from NEW HOLLAND BREWERY.
As Willie The Kid prepares the release of The Fly 2: The Transformation this Tuesday, he leaks another gem featuring L.O.X/D-Block representative and one of my favorite MC’s, Styles P. 5iveit!
