An unreleased Craig G/Marley Marl track from 1988 was pressed up on 7″ vinyl by Roots Forward Records and Hot Chillin’ Records.

Going down tonight. I wish I had the energy to hit this up. Three shows in three nights will do that to ya.

update: Craig G and a special guest will be rocking tonight as well!

NaTTyNiGhT just hit me up with some great pictures from the Kool Moe Dee show a few weeks ago. Seriously, these are great images. link (via)

Yeah, I said it. The top dog for me is definitely KRS-One but it’s a rat race after that. Cappadonna is dope. Nice & Smooth too. And as far as lesser known artists, Edan and Buck 65 are up there. The key element all these artists possess that makes or breaks any live performance is the ability to create an intimate setting with the audience, no matter if it’s a crowd of 20 people or 200 people.

I just spent the last 2-3 days listening to nothing but Lost Boyz hits on tape. I feel good about a Craig G/Mr. Cheeks project.

Peace to Ka5p

KRS-One and Buckshot performed last night at SOBs in support of their new album “Survival Skills.” If you’ve ever seen any of these dudes live, you know how they get down so no need to get into that any further. Even though both artists rocked the crowd lovely last night with new and old tracks, the real highlight for me (as always) were the freestyles and acapellas throughout. KRS and Buck did their thing but had stiff competition from the likes of Craig G, Shyheim and, most impressive of all, Pharoahe Monch. Not to be overshadowed, other dudes rocked as well including Heltah Skeltah, Immortal Technique and Tek (of Smif-N-Wessun).

After the jump, more fly pictures courtesy of Natty S. Photography. Peace to Ka5p, Natty, DJ Evil Dee, Mr. Walt, Poison Pen, Big Jeff, DJ Scratch, Kid Capri and Greg Nice among others. Audio and video coming up soon.
