Watch Part 1 and Part 2 of The Package decimating the stage at Almaz above. The crowd was hype and Enoch got them even hyper with his “1, 2, 3 Theory drop that shit!” chant in Part 2…
The song order is as follows:
What You Sipping On?
Your Time Is Up
Cold World
Final Warning (feat. Enoch 7th Prophet)
__
“Final Warning”, of course, is still available for free download as part of the 20 track “Double R: Remixes and Rarities” project at http://tinyurl.com/pkgrmx2
The first three songs will be included on the forthcoming second album from The Package, “The It Factor”
The Package made the first strike in their two stop military campaign in Maryland on Memorial Day. Their second strike is at Club Reality in Baltimore on June 16. The above video is just a snippet of the fun, as they rock “Your Time Is Up” off the forthcoming second Package album and “Final Warning” off of the “Double R: Remixes and Rarities” project, still available for free download at http://www.thepackage.bandcamp.com
All work-safe visuals, so enjoy this one in your cubicle with the headphones plugged in while your supervisor isn’t paying attention. LMAO!
(special shout to Peter Parker for the hilarious “100 of these people are me” retort to Dimes’ joke about the…ahem…modest turnout; add him as a friend on Twitter (click his name), his tweets are just as funny as his audience participation…LOL…tell him The Package sent ya….)
(extra special shoutout to DJ P-Funk, the promoter who brought The Package out to their first big show in Maryland, opening for Camp Lo back in the day…we randomly ran into P Funk at a gas station in Anne Arundel County on our way back to DC and he said he was down to get us some more Baltimore area shows…thank him for showing love to us when you see him…)
The Package dropped “Double R: Remixes and Rarities” right after Thanksgiving to give thanks to everyone who has supported our movement since “New Golden Era” dropped. Over 1,000 downloads in just over three months later, we’ll be putting the final touches on Dimes’ solo album “SLANGUAGe (a brain cell.e.bration)” this week. So, get ready for a PKG takeover in 2010!
The brothers will performing tomorrow night at the Up and Up Showcase at Liv (2001 11th St NW, WDC), then two weeks later right next door at Bohemian Caverns, on March 23rd (for the Beat Clash/Mic Clash event). That second show at Bohemian is on my birthday, so I hope everyone can make it out!
We were hearing some complaints that there was no streaming option for the Double R mixtape, so we loaded the entire project on Bandcamp for you to stream the whole album! You also now have the option to download individual track as well as the entire project (for those who like some songs more than others). Thank you to the 700-plus kind souls who have already downloaded the Double R project! We’re happy to bring you all a few more options. Feel free to spread the link around to all of your people! Thanks again!
You can also stream or download New Golden Era there as well.
Talk about starting the new year off right! I just got word via email that The Package has been nominated for Best Rap Group in the 2010 DMV Music Awards (formerly the DMV EMAs)!

Check out the full list of nominees at dmv202.com and congrats to Team Demo, Enoch 7th Prophet, XO, Oddisee, K-Beta, Princess of Controversy, J-Mills, Whitefolkz, and all our other fam who were nominated!

The Best Rap Group nominees are:
Oy Boyz
M-1 Platoon
LikeBlood The Package
1st Family
Wasteland Mob

edit: The award went to…..Likeblood. Congratulations to those brothers, we opened up for them and Raekwon at the 9:30 Club just a few weeks ago. Very personable brothers.
update: The show went well. The Package got to rock four songs (Final Warning, What You Sipping On, Here I Am and Lights), the last two of which were a medley due to the limited time in their short set. The crowd showed a lot of love and Dimes made sure to urge everyone to come to this fine site of ours so that folk could download our remix album assuming you haven’t already! So, after you click the lovely blue link in the prior sentence and dig on the sounds of The Package as remixed by some of the area’s best producers, you can marvel at the fact that you received this joyous gift for Free.99! Nothing beats FREE MUSIC in a recession, especially when it’s outrageously dope. :-)
side note 1: The footage above isn’t ideal because I was not able to secure a video pass beforehand and had to shoot guerilla-style.
side note 2: Does anyone know why Noreaga didn’t make it to the performance?
The Package’s “Double R: Remixes and Rarities” project can be downloaded for Free.99 right HERE! This very special project features contributions from the DMV’s finest, including: Kev Brown, J-$crilla, Kokayi, DJ Eurok and Drew_Kid, E-Minah, Krayola, Enoch 7th Prophet, Laelo Hood, Head Roc, Pure Fiya, Nazz, Nicole Rumeau, Jack Danger, and Spirit Equality*. It’s a DMV family affair and we’ve giving it to the world as a special “thank you” to everyone who has supported The Package and the New Golden Era movement so far! We love all of y’all! Extra special love to everyone who contributed to each song on the project. Some of the tracks are remixes from originals featured on the “New Golden Era” album (still on iTunes *smile*), while the rarities are either exclusives from upcoming solo records from Dimes and Grizz that you will hear in radically different form on those respective projects (e.g. Miss Yum Yum) or songs you never would have heard otherwise in any form (e.g. Dimes 10.0). Theory mixed the entire project to perfection.
“Final Warning”, Theory’s incendiary re-working of the original “Warning”, both of which feature Enoch 7th Prophet can now be downloaded or streamed here
This is the second leak off of “Double R: Remixes and Rarities”, the remix album form The Package that will be available for free download in just a few more weeks! Producers who have contributed remixes so far include Kev Brown, J-$crilla, E-Minah and Theory and Dimes of The Package themselves, with several other producers including ID 4 Windz (of Scienz of Life) and Jay Mills are slated to contribute as well.
This DMV anthem is particularly timely, since the DMV just took a massive step forward as DMV vets Team Demo recently produced “Crime Wave”, a new buzz single for 50 Cent! The Internet is going crazypraising the production on the track and Jady Experience of Team Demo has been showered with props on his Twitter page. Congrats, fam!
Fresh off the acclaim from his own “Culture of Honor” CD (featuring DMV heavyweights alongside more established artists from other areas like Cassidy and JR Writer), J-$crilla brings the heat by remixing “The Drug” from The Package’s debut album, “New Golden Era”. This is the first teaser track to leak from the forthcoming free download album “Double R: Remixes and Rarities” that we will be dropping later this fall. Yet more classic music and another show of DMV unity featuring the PKG family! Stream the song below or download here! Big up to the blogs who have given us love so far, Rule4080 and Inner Loop Uncut (looking forward to more!)
