I think this one qualifies as a fossil. Classic PA hip hop all day, Luke Sick's humble origins in all it's glory. Includes an improv folk song. No shit.
Enjoy Hoopleg!
Oh yeah thanks Trylemma for the last minute cover last week. Hope I wasn't missed too much.
Dimxsk is busy this week, so just popping by to post this request: FTA's "New Master" tape from 1998. Enjoy!
This weekend (August 11-13,) GTX is throwing a mega battle rap event in Battle of the Bay X. The tenth installment, spread across the three days, of the epic Battle of the Bay series will consist of nearly 30 battles.
There's some obvious big name match-ups involved - Dizaster vs Eazy The Block Captain will headline Day 1 and Hollow Da Don vs The Saurus will headline Day 2. What I'm personally most excited about, however, is the return of some old favorites that we haven't seen battle in a while. This list includes Loe Pesci (who will be battling B Magic,) Dirtbag Dan (who will be battling Carter Deems,) Alpha MC (who will be battling Jess The Facts,) Everybody Knows (who will be battling Pedro,) Lyraflip (who will be battling Hipnosis,) and ATM (who will be battling O Solo.) We also get the long awaited return of Sahtyre and Dumbfoundead as a duo (who will be battling DNA and Charlie Clips) and a rematch between QP and Soul Khan.
The event kicks off today with "Day Zero" and continues through Sunday. The venue is in Oakland, CA at the Continental Club, but you can buy PPV tickets for the entire event for only $50.00 HERE. In honor of the event, I threw together a little BOTBX Sampler Compilation consisting of some tracks from some of the battlers who will be at the event. Enjoy!

This is an album. It has the Geti stamp of approval. It has a lot of credited artists on it. I must've downloaded this around 2010, it used to be pretty easy to find along with it's counterpart Race Trading. I like Serengeti, especially the stuff he did before the frankly, IMHO unamusing and kind of boring Kenny Dennis works. He does surrealist, poetic, beautifully moving music when he wants to, I'd much rather hear that then him grunting about non-alcoholic beer and that Workaholics dude.
That's my personal opinion I guess. Anyway this is a decent Serengeti album that showcases some of his weirdness without going too deep into the characters. If you like Geti you need this one, and if you need something you know UGF got you!
