NEW FLIP MUSIC SONG "YUMMY"

Champ feat. Quest - Yummy (Produced by Bojam & Jim P of Flip Music)

Today, the Philippines lost. President Noynoy -- we lost alot today. Hustle up Mr. Commander in Chief. If by tomorrow your statement would include we will put this much millions in PNP for training -- well it's too late. And despite me having a great day, I had to be around Manila driving with a burden of a news you didn't resolve at all. Was in ABS CBN taping for Quest's MYX little stint (will post a video of it soon), figured some deals out and tonight Flip Music releases Yummy - by big boi, CHAMP for his Beard Muscle CD.

Quest's BACK TO LOVE is currently number 5 on Magic 89.9's Top 5 @ 5 and number 5 in the stations weekly Top 30 countdown. BACK TO LOVE is one of only 2 OPM songs in that countdown and the only OPM in the top 10. BACK TO LOVE entered the Magic countdown at number 23, then number 15 after a week, then that Lebron Heat number as of this week. Also today, BACK TO LOVE music video enters the countdown at number 20 in its first week. Thank you to everyone who have voted and requested for the song and the music video. We are eyeing to hold the number one spot in both avenues pretty soon! We appreciate you, daily!


NOTES: I think Erap might have a hand on the hostage taking today. As we all know Chavit was the whistle blower for his cases when he was impeached and has remained immune of any cases against him by Erap for malicious intent. And now coincidentally that Chavit's son is on bail but can't leave HK due to drug charges -- this event today, with the involvement of Chinese HK Nationals and death of a number of them, might be pay back time and will result to rough ties between HK and Pinas, whatchu think?

DRAKE VS GODS WILL

Drake - The Greatness

God's Will - Masama O Mabuti (Produced by Traumatik)

Air Drizzy, Booked Me A Flight. Today, I give you a head to head of geniuses, hehehe. We see Drake's "The Greatness" sample the same song used by Traumatik for God's Will's "Masama O Mabuti" -- amazing how this sample leads people to write something victorious and full of insight. I leave you to listen and see who gave justice to the sample as a whole song. Mind you, this God's Will song and beat was done around 2007 -- God's Will's first ever recording after his bid from Japan, came to my house to record straight from the airport.

I hear Traumatik is making some heaters as we speak.

ILL K Entry 70 "AUGUST WE CELEBRATE HIPHOP"

Skarm, Fred, Liquid & Los of OBS - UNTITLED (Produced by Skarm)

"Let no one forget the August of 2010." Momentum is yours Manila. Today, we at Soulfiesta celebrate hiphop, in more ways than one. Go on, scroll down and see what you've been missing, reminisce on that gig you went to, look at your friends featured here, adjust your pivot -- we have only spent half of the month, keep your momentum hiphop. I wasn't there to enjoy the reunion concert by Mastaplann. I missed out on something truly inspirational, but nonetheless I am blessed to share the momentum. Lets go.

Shoutouts to every one who went, every artists who had the chance to grace the same stage Mastaplann blessed, to the DMC winners, it was your night too. We celebrate you, it could be the biggest ticket sales the DMC Championships made, Jessie congratulations, Wilson -- you made it happen. Not a lot of people will thank you for this, but here - I know you been going through alot and it fills me with joy to see you do this in this fashion.

I saw Monique's great article mentioning Juss Rye's statement "You start out as a fan, and you remain a fucking fan." Word up - lets keep pushing and be fans still. Don't lose the fan in you, it will allow you to do the things you want directed towards a legacy of the people who paved the way for you. In celebration of hiphop, I give you the new song by Skarm featuring Los of OBS, Liquid of Audible and Fred; track produced by Skarm. I heard Mastaplann was around the Team Sunday basketball games today and since they came back they have been heavy into letting the new cats know that they here to be big brothers -- so here, we give you UNTITLED by Skarm. Fresh from his kitchen! Dope shit.

Quest and Dominic Nuesa debuted their new music video BACK TO LOVE earlier tonight via MYX, hope you guys caught it. We are finding out how to vote for the video and lets help it reach the countdown. I am telling you that we might be able to put in online yet so we could maximize its potential to be voted for and make it to the countdown. So the only way for you see it at this point is to vote for it! Lets help hiphop penetrate TV, Radio and open more doors.

TO THE BILLBOARD! NO HE DIDN'T!! YES HE DID!

Congratulations as well Loonie and J-Hoon for pushing their brands of hiphop amidst a very hectic week in hiphop. Heard good reviews to both your events, keep it a blaze yo! But the Loonie merchandise and support the grind, he just gave you a free downloadable album last June, shirts to purchase, introduced SUNUGAN BATTLE ROYALE, XXX music video -- and this SEPT 11 pressure cooks as TWIN TOWERS becomes the biggest buzz right after the Mastaplann Concert.

Aero - SickSongsOnly (Directed by Rjay Javier)

All day everyday, puttin' in work. As Manila celebrates a power packed night tonight - I wish everyone have a great night and to make it back to they homes safely. Manila, your nights belong to hiphop tonight, go head -- ask Reg Rubio, ask Barangay Tibay and well ask Saab Magalona. In an article she wrote today for Philippine Star Online, she -- and I quote said "I feel indie rock is getting a little overplayed. Not that too much rock music is bad but a breather from it can be good, too. Fortunately, Manila’s indie hip-hop scene is “straight blowin’ up."

So as we ALL pitch in and cradle Manila tonight with some hiphop, let me get you more excited. Hiphop is being repped heavy down south via Champ, gettin his name up in there in various festivals, messing with rock night gigs and standing heavy amongst his counterparts! Tonight, we all know Loonie came to unleash his album launch via basagan ng bungo night at Saguijo -- TEAM GRAE is heavy reppin' at Soul Fillet three blocks away from Loonie -- all these building the atmosphere as Mastaplann wraps up their final rehearsal tonight for the reunion concert tomorrow. I heard The Renaissance (Dash, PKSO & Sam Rhansum) is performing and the only female allowed to be on stage with MP, Monique, is preparing as well. Tracer, Type, Johnny Krush, DJ Ouch, DJ Mod -- I hope this was a warm enough welcome for your legendary legacy. It is an honor to have you guys show Manila what they have been missing.

Manila -- you'd be jealous to know that in Bacolod right now, they are showing you what you're missing as pioneering act Aero is releasing his music video as we speak. I am tasked to share this video simultaneously to the people who are stuck in they homes, can't go out and reserving their nights for tomorrows festivities. As we all wait the results, stories of Soulfillet, Loonie's album launch -- I give you the music video to SickSongsOnly produced by Traumatik and directed by Rjay Javier. August 2010 is definitely one for the books!

I also heard Young JV is shooting his video. Dannie Boi is giving away new music via his Facebook account. I also saw this new video posted by Norway bombers Bangers/For Show on their trip to the Philippines. Don't forget this coming Sunday, August 15 9PM; Quest's music video for BACK TO LOVE will be premiered nationwide.

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED??!! HAHAHA!!

SILVERBACKS BABY!

NOTES: When was the last time you seen hiphop this active? Tell me. Cause I sure haven't seen it this active in all my years in the game. Come on, it might be Mastaplann's reunion concert, it might be Loonie having his album for free download, it could be FLIPTOP, it could be Mike Swift's beefing with PKSO, DCOY, KRAZYKYLE and more, it could Miss Thang's nosey ass, it could be Pasta Groove getting busy back in the studio, it could be FLIP MUSIC's decadence in making hit songs, it could be Quest's album backed up by Sam Milby -- whatever it is, do not let these days go without contributing to the cause of changing the face of hiphop away from it being tucked away again. Your passion is your responsibility.

LOONIE x FHM INTERVIEW

Loonie's album launch August 13, 2010 @ Barangay Tibay

TAKEN FROM FHM.COM.PH: What’s your hope for the hip-hop community? How do you see it changing? Where do you want it to go?

Now that the scene is grown up, I hope that everyone grows up, as in everyone matures, and not “grow up” in terms of numbers.

Because that’s what kills the community – immaturity, jealousy, everything. For the record, I get death threats every other day. That’s why I put it in my page. If you want to contact me for gigs, booking, death threats, contact this number! I’m not afraid of death threats. First hip-hop awards, I’ve been getting them. It comes with the territory, at least that’s what everyone tells me. I’m cool with it. I’m not scared.

Is there any message you want your fans to know?

I don’t know who the fans are anymore right now. Because the ones I consider as fans are the ones who really know the music I make. I put certain elements in my album that I could tell who the real fans are. I have a song in my album called “Sinungaling” and I have a puzzle there. I rhymed it. The last verse is a puzzle. Listen to the album. I don’t want to spoil it.

You just want your fans to listen to your work?

Yes, listen. Don’t just listen to the beat, listen to lyrics. I could do an album without a beat. That’s what I really work on, the lyrics. That’s it.

GRAE "FORGET ABOUT IT" Music Video

FORGET ABOUT IT (ReSPECKS Video)

GRAE season officially begins August. Eyeing for a November 2010 release, we not give you our celebratory welcome to Mastaplann's reunion concert this month via these releases we are doing this month. Forget About It has over 1,000 downloads since its release -- showing Mastaplann followers are in tune to their new work regardless who they blessing the track with. Edited by Chano and some parts filmed in L.A., here's an excerpt of the story behind making this video via Marquiss.


The idea to shoot a video for “Forget About It” came from Mark Bandigan. This was almost three years ago. That’s how old this track actually is. I thought that was a great idea but, naturally, we didn’t think about it too much. Geographical locations obviously posed a problem for us.

Fast forward to late 2009.

Mark B was scheduled to fly to LA. As part of his itinerary, he was going to meet up with Mastaplann for a write up for Ms. Clavel Sneaker Magazine. Upon arriving in LA, he asked me to send him a mastered copy of Forget About It. Thankfully, I had a pre-mastered copy of G.R.A.E.., so I shot him the track via email. He told me of his intention to shoot Mastaplann’s scene in the track while he was out in L.A.

A week or two after that, I woke up to a text message from Mark B, who had just flown back in to Manila.

“You guys owe me beer.”

FLIP MUSIC x JAZZE MANUEL

Jazze Manuel - Just Say Goodbye (Produced by Bojam of Flipmusic)

Penned by the multi-faceted Mista Blaze and music by Bojam. Jazze has sprung out as probably this years biggest surprise in the music scene. Relatively unknown in the hiphop R&B scene, she has done numerous gigs and has put in years into performing in the band circuit. Her singing and her style has lead her into this whole other realm of recording, performing and mingling in the hiphop lane.

Saw her perform her rendition of Alicia's Unthinkable alongside Jolo at Amber during my last week in Manila, good stuff. I see her light up Facebook with numerous gigs, has appeared on a CD with Pikaso, released her debut mixtape via her Bandcamp account, worked with Keith Martin on a couple of songs, head up north for a couple of shows in Baguio, come back down and handle photoshoots - appear on music videos, has her song featured on WAVE 89.1 and off sheer hustle and talent alone landed her own set at the recent LDP:Defense Concert at Music Museum last May. Girl has got more grind than some of the guys who claim to be on top of they shit in Pinas. Big year for her, congratulations to you and your team Jazze.

Here's a song that really caught my attention. While recording Queen at Bojams, I heard the raw version -- I mean I was at Bojam's the day they put the track together but left before Jazze could get there. Big congratulations to FLIP MUSIC for making this joint, the horns are amazing!!

ILL K Entry 64 "SO GONE"

Nimbus previews "So Gone" (Produced by B-Roc)

"So Gone" is previewed here in this YouTube video after "So Wonderful". I swear August man - we just dishing out shit left and right my iggins! I made the beat for So Gone, I must say early 2006 - around the same time as The Community shows. This was a beat initially picked by Enzyme Dynamite but never materialized. Nimbus picked it up in a beat CD I gave him, around October last year - he decided to finally record it. I remember recording Season (Remix), So Gone and another mixtape joint that day - and I had to re-work the drums on this one. Sounding pretty lovely if you ask me. Nimbus' was having a hard time recording this one I tell you - hehehehe. This was sampled via a 70's song and on top of it is the Monica's "So Gone" produced by Missy Elliott.

Hmmm, we might one day release the full version of this. Whatchu think Nimbus? But yeah in more Nimbus news - the project he is working with Gap of Peoples Future is still in heavy production, hitting the studio constantly and one of they tracks will be featured on the Soulfiesta x Kase project "Taking Bakkk The City" alongside Flip Music X LDP X AMP X Chrizo. Also, catch Nimbus perform this August 7 at Wall Lords.



Embraced by your warmth, and everything in your heart
It's something that you just have, its everything that you've got




NOTES: TAKING BAKKK THE CITY - the title track for this very secret project will be performed by LDP tomorrow at the video launching of ON THE GRIND by Peoples Future. So when you see em, ask em whats the song all about and what are we trying to convey. And if you didnt catch Nimbus' set at DEFENSE this last MAY - this is the actual video he used as his back drop for his set. Hehehehe -- caught your attention iggins?

GRAE x MASTAPLANN x SVC "FORGET ABOUT IT"

Marquiss feat. Mastaplann, SVC & DJ Excaliber (Produced by Chrizo)

Delivering as promised this year, Turbulence Team Strong! As we welcome Mastaplann's timely reunion back in Pinas - we leak a cut from the highly anticipated Marquiss & Chrizo presents G.R.A.E. album the now classic song Forget About It. This track features Mastaplann, SVC and DJ Excaliber lacing up the scratches!! I dont know about you, but if this doesnt wet your appetite for the Mastaplann reunion - you guys were born yesterday! Here are a few words from the man himself, Marquiss as he re-creates the steps made into this track, Specks all day! We Legendary!

"It must have been somewhere half-way into the GRAE recording process when I had come to a realization: All of the tracks Chrizo and I had recorded at that point were concept-driven songs. All of the songs we had stashed in the vault touched on serious topics; they made the listener think.

I knew something was missing. If I were to create the best possible album that I could come up with, I needed to be flexible. In this case, I needed to think inside the box. It had occurred to me that G.R.A.E. was missing a particular sound—that good old school hip-hop jam. This is how “Forget About It” came to be.

So now I knew what type of track I wanted to do next for the G.R.A.E. album. All I needed at that point was a title. I wanted the title to be a catchy phrase I could build an entire song around. Unfortunately, that line I had been looking for didn’t come to me on the spot, as I had hoped for. So I began writing a verse, hoping it would come somewhere down the line.

During that time I had been religiously watching my favorite TV series of all-time, The Sopranos. And somewhere in the 4th season I noticed a phrase the characters in TV show would always holler: “Forget about it.” It was the Italian mob’s version of “Don’t sweat it.”

The line was fitting. The other tracks in G.R.A.E. made you think and reflect, but on this one — you can forget about it. Love & RE-SPECKS!!! Shoutouts to Mastaplann & SVC for blessing the album, it's a dream come true to rep with you guys on the track."
