On the night of October 8th, Myc Ripley shared his heart and soul with those who attended the "Fighting Words Tour" featuring Diabolic from NY and many other artists from the San Jose area. This performance was by far one of the best ones given by the California native and #lifeonchill man himself. He graced the stage for about 20 minutes total and kept heads bobbin' and the folks in tune the whole time. Below are some friend submitted pictures, photos were not taken because every Myc Ripley show is a rare occasion. One must attend to see the amazing talent this man holds. Thanks to 408inc Booking, Playa Rae, The Cypher, Diabolic, and everyone else who made this possible. You are appreicated! Be on the lookout for The Slappelle Show 3 - Introspection.

On September 16th, Diabolic released his latest solo album titled “Fightin Words”. For fans of Diabolic, anticipation is at it’s peak right now. The album consists of production from the Legendary DJ Premier and features from none other than R.A. The Rugged Man, Vinnie Paz (Jedi Mind Tricks), Sean Price, Apathy, Celph Titled & more. It’s absolutely some of his best work to date. 310 different kickstarter backers who backed a recent campaign for the album will vouch for it; and have. That speaks volumes in terms of support.

In October, that is where the tour kicks in. The Fightin Words Tour is ready to hit the road and showcase music from the album in support of it’s release. Not only that, but he will also be performing classic Diabolic tracks from his previous releases. If you caught him for shows on the War & Peace Tour w/Brother Ali & Immortal Technique then you know his stage performance is on point and very entertaining.

The tour makes a stop in San Jose, CA on October 8th at Back Bar SoFA brought to you by 408inc Media and The Cypher. Performing on this stop will be L.I.F.E (Six of Seven) Joe Cutter, Haez 1, YDMC with Madman & Maqsteez.

Playa Rae & Trey C of Independent Like A M#fuka were in town fresh off their #6DOSTOUR and asked me to be the host of their California Odyssey Tour with headliner Wildcard from Seattle.

Of course I did, it featured artists Hazy & Navarre from Rock Springs Wyoming, and Overtime out of Missoula, Montana. YDMC and Different Dope Music, E-Piff & J.Wonder, Max Bundles, Task1ne, Sammy Warm Hands with Ogar Burle and Playz joined them as well. On a three night run from Sacramento to San Jose, ending in Santa Cruz, it was definitely an experience to see these artists come from across the US to Cali to rep for the first time! They even added some international flavor with artist Arel James from Sydney, Australia as a special guest. Here are some stills/snippets from the evening. Look for these artists as they have been doing their thing for a minute.

First stop on the run was...

BLUE LAMP | SACRAMENTO, CA (Arel James, Max Bundles, Hazy & Navarre, ILAM, Overtime, Wildcard)

BACK BAR SoFA | SAN JOSE, CA (Arel James, Sammy Warm Hards w/ Ogar Burle, YDMC & Different Dope, E-Piff & J.Wonder, Hazy & Navarre, ILAM, Overtime, Wildcard)

BOCCI'S CELLAR | SANTA CRUZ, CA (Arel James, Hologram Sun, YDMC & Different Dope, Playz, Hazy & Navarre, ILAM, Overtime, Wildcard)

All in all, it was a cool couple nights, interesting, entertaining, political, and for sure a learning experience. Thanks to ILAM for putting together the shows and all the artists who took time to participate in this event!! #californiaodysseytour

Myc Ripley (°1979, Ukiah, United States) creates and performs music, media art and conceptual artworks. With a conceptual approach, Ripley wants to amplify the astonishment of the spectator by creating compositions or settings that generate tranquil poetic images that leave traces and balances on the edge of recognition and alienation.

His performances directly respond to the surrounding environment and uses everyday experiences from the artist as a starting point. Often these are framed instances that would go unnoticed in their original context. By creating situations and breaking the passivity of the spectator, he wants the listener to become part of the art as a kind of added component. Art is entertainment: to be able to touch the work, as well as to interact with the work is important.

His works are based on inspiring situations: visions that reflect a sensation of indisputability and serene contemplation, combined with subtle details of odd or eccentric, humoristic elements. By applying a poetic and often metaphorical language, he tries to approach a wide scale of subjects in a multi-layered way, likes to involve the listener in a way that is sometimes physical and believes in the idea of function following form in a work.

His work appears as dreamlike images in which fiction and reality meet, well-known tropes merge, meanings shift, past and present fuse. Time and memory always play a key role. Myc Ripley currently lives and works in San Jose.

Welcome to part 3!! It's 2014 and Myc Ripley has grown as a person, friend, artist, etc. There has been ups and downs, a couple cases caught, a new child, wife, and better plans for the future..

Also, he has been dipping into different genres of music from dubstep/grime, drum & bass, pop, dance. There is no boundaries that can hold back his talent.
