First Week Album Sales for Messy Marv + Random News

Messy Marv's Draped Up and Chipped Out 2 sold 1,700 units

Too Short has a solo album coming out next tuesday, December 4th, called "Get Off The Stage." I think this is his last album on Jive. The single off the album is "This My One" ft. E-40.

Mistah F.A.B. and Turf Talk are scheduled to drop a project called "Hyphy Aint Dead" on December 18th. This is going to be a siccness release...and I have high hopes. The only siccness release I've heard was that "Messy Slick" album and that one was quality.

C-Bo is back in jail for a parole violation.

Suga-T Interview (E-40's Sister)

Here's the introduction to the interview from Hiphopdx.com.......

The difference between a female emcee and a male is emcee is one thing: what they hold in between their two legs. It hasn’t been scientifically proven that male or female organs make one better than the other. Beyond urban legend, in each fist there is a mic, that connects to their spinal cord, that creates a backbone for heart throbbing, passionate lyrics that will translate into genderless music that transcends through what some would consider as “society’s glass ceilings.”

Suga-T, proved in the early '90s that female emcees could hold a mic and represent the same as their male counterparts. With the support of The Click, which included brothers E-40, D-Shot and B-Legit, Suga-T proved that the storm that would make a dent in the Hip Hop industry, would need the flavor of a woman as much as it did a mans’.

Since then, songs like 1994’s "Hurricane" and "Sprinkle Me," have become Hip Hop classics and a precedent for women in the Bay Area as well as femcees all over the world, to spit, sing and embrace their positions in Hip Hop as qualified musicians.

This month, HipHopDX pays homage, while chopping it up with the totally reformed Suga-T, an unforgettable voice that helped create some of Hip Hop’s most unique tracks.

Bay Area Label News

Bay Area Based "SMC" has a big release week coming up. They're dropping projects from Messy Marv, B-Legit, and San Quinn next Tuesday. Also, they have joined forces with Killer Mike and his Atlanta based label, Grind Time Official. I've never listened to Killer Mike but I've seen his name around. I'm sure both sides will benefit from this.

In other news, looks like "Ball Or Fall Records" is in trouble. That's the label that released Numskull's highly slept on album earlier this year. I don't know the entire story behind this, but according to someone on the siccness.net forum, the CEO had to sell some assets just to get some of his money back.

Shawty Lo ft. Young Jeezy, E-40, Plies, Gorilla Zoe- They Know (Remix)

http://www.zshare.net/audio/482258371661c9/

E-40 on a track with some of the more popular ATL artists. Never heard of Shawty Lo though.

Mistah F.A.B. and Royce Da 5'9 End Beef

I saw this in the rumor section of allhiphop.com a few days ago, but that's usually not a very reliable source for news. Today I noticed that ballerstatus.com had an article about the beef being over. According to the article, Mistah F.A.B. says that the two rappers spoke and decided to end this beef because they did not want to start tension between the two cities. This is all coming from Mistah F.A.B., and Royce has not released a statement on the issue...and it would be his turn for a comeback diss...so we'll see if it's really over.

Vote In The Poll and state your opinion on who won overall. If you haven't seen the AHH.com battle and heard all the disses, look through my archive because all of it has been posted.

Dj King Assassin

Yesterday I posted a song by Assassin featuring Akon. If you liked that song you can listen to more of his music here.. http://liferdef.blogspot.com
That's the free download site for singles released by Assassin and other artists on his label.

The newest post on that blog has an "xmas mix" featuring Turf Talk and Mistah F.A.B. If you lazy to go over there for a link...here it is..http://www.zshare.net/audio/48583700fde7c8/

Bishop Lamont & Black Milk ft. Mistah Fab, Ya Boy & Planet Asia- 4 All My Niggas

http://www.zshare.net/audio/4861464ed3bcde/

This song is off a Bishop Lamont & Black Milk project called "Caltroit" (combination of California and Detroit). Pretty nice track.

Strong Arm Steady ft. Turf Talk, Crooked I & J Rock- One Step (remix)

http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/audio/id.3579/title.strong-arm-steady-f-crooked-i-jay-rock-turf-talk-one-step-rmx

I think there's a link to download this at dubcnn.com...not the greatest Turf Talk verse buts its always good to see a Bay artist on tracks with non local artists (even though Turf Talk also lived in southern Cali).

Assassin Ft. Akon- U Like My Swagga

http://www.zshare.net/audio/4503525fcb12d8/

For those who haven't heard of Assassin....he's a rapper out of San Jose who's been in the game for a long time.

Check out his myspace page

edit: Forgot to say that this song is about a year old.

Ya Boy- Precise Gang

http://www.zshare.net/audio/48175878d2b924/

Ya Boy changed his plans and is no longer coming out with the EP that was supposed to be released this summer. Instead he's going to release a full length album sometime next year. This is the street single off that album and will also be featured on his upcoming mixtape, "Optimus Rime"

I got a feeling this one will grow on me a lot.

Mistah Fab- C.I.A. (Royce Diss #2)

http://www.zshare.net/audio/4744889b2e577f/

Nice diss....he put way more effort on this diss than his first one. But is it better than Royce's diss? Not really.
