Grizz of The Package/newgoldenera.com filmed my interview with the legendary DJ Clark Kent here. There was a lot of background noise since we were in a club, so it’s a little hard to hear my questions (I asked: (1) What was your role with Original Flavor?, (2) What was your role in the song “Can I Get Open?” featuring Jay-Z, and (3) What was your experience working with Jay, Biggie and Rakim?). Big up to the three very cool publicity sisters Grizz and I met for setting up the media meet and greet with this legendary vet at the Heineken Red Star Soul event at Ibiza.
Grizz also got a chance to catch a flick with the legend as well:
And for those new jacks who forgot who DJ Clark Kent was, he produced this classic:
DMV Love,
Spirit Equality
Three great publicists (Kourtney, Lauren and S. Bitting) facilitated getting me and Grizz into the media event at the Heineken Red Star Soul tour stop in the DMV at Ibiza. I got to ask Luda how he could prove he’s the best ever, since he has displayed loads of style and wit since his debut but never received much critical acclaim. His stage show later that night served as a de facto answer to my question. In light of that, I edited my question and his stage show together, so Luda could make his own case for why he should be called the best ever. Take a look and tell us what you think! Is Luda the best mainstream MC out now?
Special shout out to Grizz (of The Package) and Laelo Hood for coming through to help out. My interview with DJ Clark Kent (featuring Grizz’s camera work debut) coming soon…
DMV Love,
Spirit Equality
The legendary DMV radio show, “Ill Street Grooves” (which airs every Monday, 10-11pm, WPFW-FM 89.3 and streams live at wpfw.org) sets it off with an incendiary freestyle cipher featuring (in order of appearance) Laelo Hood, Mental Stamina (of Rosetta Stoned), Spirit Equality, and Pro’Verb.
Also in the studio were Ill Street Grooves‘ main host Buddha Bless of acrossthefader.com, DJ RBI on the wheels of steel and not on the mic but in the studio that night were additional special guests Lord Vada of Equinox PROfessionals and Aychell a.k.a. Blackberry Jones of the Black Lincolns (Asheru, Heron Gibran and Aychell). 100% off the top lyrical stylings.
Unfortunately you can’t hear the beats (they’re playing through the emcees’ headphones) but the instrumentals being ripped were “Twins (Deep Cover 98)” (Big Pun feat. Fat Joe) and Synopsis (E-Rule), the latter of which is a West Coast underground gem and the former which is of course an East Coast classic over a classic West Coast beat. Pro’Verb is on the West Coast now as a featured act on the Rock The Bells tour when it hits LA and San Francisco, so enjoy this taste of DC/MD/VA talent before the whole world catches on to what DC hip-hop and the DMV is cooking! I’m holding the camera, so the angle when I start freestyling is mostly the bottom of my face. My bad! LOL.
(the microphone is blocking Pro’Verb’s face too! Don’t blame me, I just bought this camera! LOL)
None of us were prepped to rhyme, but like veteran freestylers, we went in anyway!
It’s a new golden era! Best of the classics, here in the now!
All my ATL area folk, come see The Package rock at the Happily Natural Day Festival next Saturday at the South Cobb Recreational Center, 875 Six Flags Drive, Austell GA 30168, 11am-7pm
Peace to the Peaceful,
Spirit Equality
