People Under The Stairs
Thes One and Double K met at a local record store where they combined their different sampling approaches to come up with the P.U.T.S. sound. They also discuss how they came up with the concept for Trippin' at the Disco.

r.i.p. Hip Hop Radio Pioneer Mr Magic
Mr. Magic sparked the wars between the Bronx (BDP) and Queens (the Juice Crew). Mr Magic also gave Whodini their first break. Hence the group’s first song ‘Mr Magic’s Magic Wand.

Roxanne's revenge was sweet indeed.
Twenty-five years after the first queen of hip-hop was stiffed on her royalty checks, Dr. Roxanne Shante boasts an Ivy League Ph.D. - financed by a forgotten clause in her first record deal.

"One of the most talented emcees I've ever heard black or white, male or female..."
- Talib Kweli
"One of the best-written Hip Hop – scratch that – best-written albums to come about in some time"
- Okayplayer.com
"Invincible is one part emcee, three parts revolutionary, but the recipe is all Hip Hop."
- Shook Magazine
It is truly rare to find an artist like Invincible. Her spitfire wordplay has gotten her acclaim from Hip Hop fans all across the world, while her active involvement in progressive social change has taken her music beyond entertainment, and towards actualizing the change she wishes to see. Repping Detroit, MI, many are already familiar with her work with Waajeed and the Platinum Pied Pipers, Finale, the all-female ANOMOLIES crew, Black Star, and many others. Dubbed by XXL Magazine as "every A&Rs worst nightmare" for rejecting major label deals and general industry politrix, Invincible started her own record label, EMERGENCE, self-releasing her long-awaited full length LP, ShapeShifters, June, 2008.

Top Notch Shows
I haven't been grinding that hard trying to get DJ gigs for the last few months. I've had a lot of extreme life events. I got married, I finished up school for web design. etc..
I've been grinding pretty hard promoting undrgroound hip-hop in austin.
So now I am going to use this site to promote shows; either NBG is putting on or I'm excited about.
