2pac profile pictureFinding Hip Hop Mix Podcasts

Many music podcasts are available online for downloading; if one wanted to find, for instance, a hip hop mix podcast, there are a few sites available to help. The first possibility would be to go directly to a site which creates one and subscribe to it using a podcast client which automatically checks the feed for new episodes and downloads them for the user. If, however, one did not know of any hip hop mix podcast sites, or simply wanted to find new podcast sites, the best possibility would be to check a podcast directory, a list of podcasts that can be browsed.

Hip hop mix podcasts could easily be found at one of these podcast directories. A podcast directory stores lists of podcasts which have been submitted to the site, and categorizes them by genre, type of podcast, region, and other meta data. To find a hip hop mix podcast, visiting a podcast directory and checking under music podcasts, and then under hip hop music would find many podcasts which play that type of music.

The hip hop mix podcast could then be subscribed to by inputting the feed address listed into one of the many podcast clients. The music will come in episodes, the name for each downloadable portion of a podcast. Some of these podcasts may feature independent artists, musicians trying to break into the music industry who have chosen podcasting as a way of sharing their music and gaining a following. Others may be remixes of popular songs that have been changed in some way to give a different feel to the music. Often, the artists may already be established, though, and they still see podcasting as a way to introduce themselves to a larger audience. They may grant rights to pay certain hip hip songs to a podcaster, letting them play the music as part of their mix distribution while requesting a link to a site where more information can be learned about the artists and music can be purchased. Artists that have done this include alias, edan, outerspace, RA the rugged man, roots manuva, and outer space.

A large number of podcasts featuring hip hop mix podcasts are actually radio stations, however. These broadcasters have found that podcasting their shows and selections is an easy way to reach more listeners and gain a greater audience. These podcasters can reach more people easier and cheaper than they can by playing hip hop mix music over the airwaves in their local areas. Playing hip hop music over the internet is probably the way many future artists will do their work, and there are many ways available even now that they can do so and make a profit. For instance, some podcasts are designed to work on a payment basis. A hip hop artist who wished to share his music could charge for addition to the feed list, then issue a unique feed address to the user, allowing them to hear new pieces of hip hop music released. The hip hop music file could even be designed so it could not be copied and used by another user at a different computer, to ensure that the artist could

RA Scion – The Bio

RA Scion, formerly of Common Market, is now going by the name Victor Shade. Check out this post for more information about Victor Shade and how bad ass he is.

Or stick around here to learn about the dude.

In 2002, RA Scion released his first album titled Apostrophe, The EP. Equipped with little more than a hand drum and a thrift-shop beat machine, he set out to make a name for himself within Seattle’s growing underground rap scene, making it clear to anyone who cared to listen that there was, in fact, a real message in his music.

His second album, Live & Learn, still lacked the overall production quality that was present in the music of his contemporaries like Boom Bap Project and D. Black. The album marked the origin of his working relationship with DJ/Producer Sabzi of the Blue Scholars, who contributed beats for the album’s stand-out tracks; two years later the duo would release one of The Town’s most significant musical contributions of 2005, Common Market.

As Common Market, RA Scion and Sabzi would go on to release 4 complete projects, most notably 2008’s full length Tobacco Road, quickly followed by a digital-only EP offering titled The Winter’s End. Critics and fans alike have speculated about the album’s prominent theme of death as a metaphor for the dissolution of Common Market, but rumors have never been substantiated by either band member.

victor shade ra scion

What is certain, however, is that RA Scion will continue to make music. Now under the pseudonym Victor Shade (alter ego of Marvel Comics’ West Coast Avenger, The Vision), RA appears more eager than ever to deliver his message to the listener. With producer MTK providing the perfect soundscape, RA delivers the graphic narrative, appearing as comfortable and as purposeful in a mask and cape as he did in bib overalls. While Victor Shade is sonically a half-genre removed from anything Common Market, the material remains message-driven; where Tobacco Road drew parallels between farm labor and community organizing, Victor Shade relies heavily on the analogy of artist as superhero, expounding upon the idea that “with great power comes great responsibility.”

Much is inferred here, even within the relatively obscure moniker – “victor,” a champion, one who has overcome; “shade,” a respite from the sun, the mythological god of which is Ra. It’s evident on multiple levels that the emcee is reinventing himself, but without blatant disregard for his foundation. There is an appreciable congruousness in Victor Shade, a continuation without contradiction, a hearkening back to RA’s early years. Suited up in the green and gold, the rapper is poised and confident, and with all the verve and vigor befitting of a caped crusader, he delivers his most impressive perfomance yet.

Interview on Underground Fusion with Carnage45

UF: For the people who don’t know who you are, tell the people your name and where you from?
My name is Carnage45 and I represent the Eastern Shore of Virginia.

UF: How did you get started in music?
It was a process that evolved over time. I grew up listening to hip hop as a kid and grew a strong love for the art form. My homie Vega and Nas were my first influences to even write a rhyme down. As I got better at it I decided to test my skill in ciphers. The next step was writing songs. Once I felt like my song writing was strong enough I decided to start recording and distributing to the streets… Read More >>

Jay-Z partnership with planned New York racino under federal investigation

For Jay-Z, the world doesn’t always come up smelling like roses. He might rock the mic and have a beautiful wife, but his latest business deal is under federal investigation for a somewhat shady selection process. Say it ain’t so, HOV!

Here’s how it all breakdowns: Last August, Jay-Z got somewhat friendly with New York Governor David Paterson. In the past, the two have been seen dining and spending time together in the Hamptons. In steps AEG (Aqueduct Entertainment Group), a group with plans to build a racino (that’s a racing track and casino) at Aqueduct Racetrack in New York. Paterson’s goal in tapping AEG was to turn the location into a glamorous, state-of-the-art gaming facility. And here’s where federal investigators are crying foul: According to investigators, AEG Chairman Richard Mays brought Jay in last September to cover 7% of the total venture, a deal Jay was given only because of his friendship with the governor and a falling out with Wynn Resorts Limited… Read More >>

I just drove from DC to Philly and listened to Jay-Z’s 2007 American Gangster about two and a half times. This is significant.

Sandwiched between two albums (comeback flop Kingdom Come, and 2009’s high-tech Blueprint 3) that are the rockcritical equivalent of Batman and Robin—so easily maligned by the type of press that values “authenticity” and “honesty” among all else such that it becomes cliche — it stood as a revelation at the time. Al Green, Marvin Gaye, vintage Beastie Boys, and Isley Brothers samples. Lyrical nods to classic Outkast, EPMD, Rakim, Biggie. The picture painting of Ghostface mixed with the lyrical dexterity of MF DOOM mixed with Biggie’s weird and halting virtuoso breath control.
