Since the Pitch went ahead and dropped a previous VS battle line from Abnorm directed at Dutch Newman, I'll go ahead and drop my favorite battle line aimed at Dutchie. Though I can't remember if it was a VS or Sudden Death battle (it was the one at Czar Bar a year or two ago),...

Kutty Slitz swung through the Record Bar late last night to the delight of friends, fans and Cru after taking what was surely an unpleasant, extended vacation. It was rather moving. Kutty's charm amongst his peers has not seemed to dissipate whatsoever. I'd forgotten how...

Ice Cube's underground cousin and hip hop legend in his own right, Del The Funky Homosapien, is set to rock the Riot Room in Westport later this month. Shout out to Riot Room for putting on this and another upcoming show that should be equally dope the night before. Also...

Zavala and Onry Ozzborn of Grayskull (Rhymesayers) make up this duo, who by all accounts will definitely put on a show worth seeing tonight at the Riot Room in Westport. To be honest, I don't know much about this group at all, however I am somewhat familiar with Grayskull. ...

Better late than never on getting this flyer up here, I suppose. Flavor Pak helped lay down a foundation over a decade ago for what many of us now take for granted - a local hip hop scene. I'm not sure in what capacity they're "back," but I have the utmost respect for...
