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.

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.

Myc Ripley Hosts ILAM's "California Odyssey Tour" - Sacramento/San Jose/Santa Cruz

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.

L.O.C Covey (Ello Covey) #lifeonchill

However you do it, keep #LIFEONCHILL. This is the L.O.C aka "Ello Covey"

L.O.C Covey, easier said as "Ello Covey" is the byproduct of unoriginality, biting, hating, negative energy, and the force feeding of social norms. To all that we say "Chill!!"

Our Motto is "Life On Chill." Constant Heat Instilling Longer Living. The heat of passion, drive, desire to create a legacy. The heat is the chill.

You can only control your existence and how you react/conquer situations. Situations and life are better handled on the chill. I believe most would agree.

The tagline is "That L.O That L.O.. If you know me, say HELLO!"

Basically, keep #LifeOnChill and use that heat to drive you forward. Peace to all kings and queens. One Love.

YOGIE SHANKLES AND DONNY P.

8:43 PM #bayarea, #cali, #download, #hiphop, #newmusic, bayarearap, California, donny p, Oakland, rap, shankle mob, yogie shankles 6 comments

Its funny how the universe works, it brings you what you need when you need it. With that said, I had the pleasure to speak with an upcoming artist (rapper/singer) from Oakland, CA. A very humble and talented individual who took the time to reach out to The Slapp Factor™ via Twitter to promote his sound. Yogie Shankle and his brother Donny P, Shankle Mob. Right now they are promoting their new mixtapes “Did I Do That” and “Heart Breaker Mixxtape Vol.1” I received the chance to preview a couple tracks from the mixtapes that were very well put together. From singing to rapping from being a little child, learning piano at 9, vocal lessons at 11, beat making, and a constant love for hip hop. Yogie Shankles possesses a unique voice that stands out from what I’ve heard recently. I know y’all like, “Yogie” cause I was just a curious. I asked and he got his name from being a smooth slick talker that can for sure talk his way in and out of a lot of situation presented. Kind of like Yogi Bear. So, his fam deemed it necessary.

We spoke for a while longer about what it takes and how long he and Donny P. the stand for “Phenom” who is his right hand man and has been singing, belonging to his church choir since a child at 7 years. He raps also, so there will be a definite blend of the too on his “Heart Breaker Mixxtape” [artwork above] which is due out last quarter 2013. They have been performing constantly for the last two year around the bay and are about to it to Atlanta in the next week, Los Angeles afterward, and the Canada in August. I can say they are taking the right steps to get the job done for something they love.

Yogie’s mixtape titled, “Did I Do That” [artwork above] is due for June 10th this year. He also has an albumin the making which is taking his time on so its perfect when released. We’ll just have to keep an eye out for that release, but this mixtape will keep you slappin’ until then!

The first song I heard was titled “Bad” featuring Donny P. This song is definitely for the ladies.. It starts of real smooth with a clever bar to get you interested., “You’re a bad girl and your friends, you got the swag, drippin’ swagu.” Saucy. Laced with smooth harmony from Donny P, I believe this song will get the ladies moving and the players can pull something off it. If you got game like that.

After that, I heard “Addicted To Money” this was that slapp for sure. For all the money getters, this on featured B-Pill, Nuk F. Banga, and Blaze. This reminds me some old school 3xKrazy with a slight YMCMB.. Which is a good thing, because it relevant and you can tell they’re from Oakland. I can see this one getting the club yankin’ anywhere.. Dope production and clever lyrics, they show out on this track.

Last song I played was “Top Floor” feat Donny P. and Westside Major. A real triumphant sound in this song, real glorious letting you know that they are the ones heading to the top literally. Real stunna lyrics over a dancehall violin riddim. These songs can definitely compete with the current DJ rotations.
