A Tale of Two Murders: The Package Slaughters Almaz

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 Kill It At Bohemian Caverns

Once again, it’s on!

In the video above, The Package kills the stage yet again as they open for the legendary Myka 9 (f/k/a/ Mikah 9 of Freestyle Fellowship). I caught everything except the introduction from the host, Enoch 7th Prophet. This was part of the Upper Echelon tour’s DC stop. Tame One didn’t make this particular stop on the tour, unfortunately, but Prop Anon, Boombap Bullies and C-Chan were there to represent. Other performers included Educated Consumers, Ardamus, PG Skillet, Rosetta Stoned (well, really just Mental Stamina) and Watusi. There was also a lot of awesome freestyling over the dubstep sounds of top choice selector JKaNizzle throughout the night (including a bit by yours truly, video will come if I can find it).

ps: In recent great news, Enoch 7th Prophet reported via Twitter that our collab with him, “Warning”, is in heavy rotation by Evil Dee on his radio show Beatminerz Radio and Hold My Coat is the latest blog to cover “Double R: Remixes and Rarities”.

Final Warning! The DMV is Taking Over!

“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 crazy praising the production on the track and Jady Experience of Team Demo has been showered with props on his Twitter page. Congrats, fam!

DMV love,

Spirit Equality

Lights, Camera…Action!

Thanks to everyone who came out to see The Package rock at Jammin Java and showed support for the release party for K-Beta’s “89 to 09″ mix CD (the reason for the celebration).

The set list was as follows:

Look Out Below (off the New Golden Era album)
Dimensions acapella verse
The Drug (off the New Golden Era album)
Final Warning (feat. Enoch 7th Prophet)*
Lights, Camera, Action (off of Noyeek the Grizzly Bear’s forthcoming solo album, Eartertainment)
Here I Am (off of Dimensions‘ upcoming solo album, Slanguage: A Brain Celebration)

* Final Warning will appear on The Package’s upcoming remix album, which will be available for free download this summer. More details to come.

We spotted a number of the DMV’s finest talents in the building: K-Beta, Flex Matthews, Ra the MC, Pro’Verb, Lyriciss, R.E.U.B., Krayola and many many more. We also had the privilege of seeing Dame Pix rock for the first time; he got busy. We missed a lot of the performances due to our tardy arrival, apologies to everyone whose performance we were unable to witness.

Big up to Betaraz and fam for putting together the whole event. Beautiful work, y’all!

On a sad note, our show at Expo this Saturday appears to be cancelled. We are having some communication difficulties getting that cancellation confirmed, but that appears to be the case.

We look forward to seeing you all when The Package rocks at the release party for our comrade Enoch 7th Prophet’s “Data Frequency” CD. $5 at the door, June 6th @ Axum (1934 9th St NW) (cost of entry gets you a copy of the CD as well). See you there!

ps: Big up to everyone I saw twittering about the show *after* I got home. I see you out there, Emperess! LOL. Please follow The Package at www.twitter.com/thepackagedc

pps: You can download a link to The Package’s recent “Ill Street Grooves” 89.3 FM WPFW radio appearance alongside Krayola (and a massive freestyle cipher with The Package, Krayola, Flex Matthews, myself and a very ill lyricist whose name I can pronounce but can’t spell (Va-Soo?), at http://www.divshare.com/download/7443220-26d
