Killer Mike And Immortal Technique Perform At A3C

Although Killer Mike's set at A3C was cut short, very short, he still put on a hell of a show (as expected). He even brought out Immortal Technique who went IN! Luckily, Killer Mike was able to get in a few more songs later that night at the Perfect Attendance stage. But of course I missed it. Go figure. Anywho check out my footage of both Killer Mike and Immortal Technique.

Oh and P.S. for some really weird reason it kinda looks like Killer Mike is lip-syncing his performance but clearly he's not. It's Killer Mike we're talking about, not Ashley Simpson. I think zooming in with my digital camera kind of messed up the audio.

The Atlanta Stargazing Tour Finale

This week the Atlanta Stargazing Tour will conclude with a show featuring Killer Mike, Aleon Craft, Young Lyxx, and more. It's all going down at the Clermont Lounge in Midtown on Thursday, September 9 a 9 p.m. It will definitely be a crazy show with what will probably be a huge crowd so be sure to get there early! Peep the flyer below for more info.

Killer Mike Previews Track From New Album

Killer Mike (a.k.a Mike Bigga) recently gave journalist Maurice Garland a sneak peak at "Burn," a track on his upcoming album entitled Pl3dge Allegiance To The Grind. Killer Mike also spoke briefly on who we can expect on the album and it looks like the album may include appearances from YelaWolf, Mickey Factz, Emilio Rojas, Sean Falyon, Pill, Big K.R.I.T. and more. Pretty amazing, right? Check out video footage of Killer Mike speaking on the album below.

Oh and Killer Michael if you're reading this (which I'm sure you're not) do you really have to call the new album Pl3dge Allegiance To The Grind? I mean, I'm really not a big fan of the whole numbers as letters thing. What about adding a little French flair instead? I Pledge Allegiance To The Grind Part Trois? No? I mean, non? Okay, maybe not. Whatever floats your boat homeskillet.

Oh, and shout out to Killer Mike for actually acknowledging the Oscar Grant case. Other rappers take note.

Killer Mike "Grandma's House" Video + New Song

Okay, sorry for the short break. As some of you may or may not know I was out of town for about a week recently for a funeral. But now I'm Backkk (Word to T.I.) and apparently this week was seriously one for new music. I'm obviously not going to post all the new songs and videos because that would be downright corny but I had to post some new stuff from Killer Mike because I'm a big fan of his. So check out both Killer Mike's new video "Grandma's House" and his new song "Ready Set Go" featuring T.I.

And grrrrr at his new video premiering on WorldStarHipHop! Man, I hate that site lol. Thankfully though I was able to find a YouTube link :-)

More A3C Pics

Here's the rest of the pictures I took at A3C this past weekend. They include pictures from the Kidz N The Hall show and the Killer Mike/Rakim show at the Icehouse. Enjoy.

Killer Mike & Grand Hustle.

Shout out to Killer Mike, one of my favorite rappers, for signing with Grand Hustle Records. Killer Mike's a great artist without Grand Hustle, but I think the move to Grand Hustle will definitely help heighten his career. Here is what Killer Mike told HipHopDX.com.

“Yeah, it’s happening. What I’m most happy about is, man, Tip really came to me respectful of the work I put in. Like, he didn’t come to me like, ‘How can I throw you a bone?’ He came to me like, ‘I see what you got going on. I really like what you [got] going on. I got some questions about what you got going on.’ He asked a few questions. I gave a few answers. And [he] was like, ‘I think I might be able to help with what [you] got going on. How would you feel about it?’”

If you haven't done so already, please check out Killer Mike's album I Pledge Allegiance To The Grind II. In my opinion, it's one of the best albums of 2008. Here's a little sampele...(P.S. Does anyone know how you can add audio to Blogger without using YouTube?)

Artist On Artist: Webbafied

I've always found it interesting hearing artists perspectives on other artists so I came up with this idea called 'Artist On Artist' where artists have the opportunity to critique other artists. I've only done one so far and it was featured on We Write Blog, but the result (shown below) came out pretty well in my opinion. So you can definitely look forward to seeing more of these in the future.



Brooklyn MC Webbafied recently shared with We Write his opinion on Killer Mike's controversial video "Pressure" featuring Ice Cube for We Write's first ever Artist on Artist.

No stranger to Hip-Hop, Webbafied has worked on and released a number of projects and has the opportunity to perform at venues across the country and in Europe. He has appeared in publications such as The Source: France and has been featured on several Websites including HipHopGame.com.



WeWrite: What was your initial reaction after seeing the video/hearing the song?

Webbafied: I was moved…

WeWrite: What's your critique for "Pressure"? Are you feeling it? Is there anything you would change?

Webbafied: I think the song is tight. I love the message in the lyrics and the production. The images were very graphic. Sometimes it was a little bit too much for me to digest. I realize that it is all reality, but seeing the twin towers blow up yet again is really not for me. I like the images that directly related to the lyrics though. The Malcolm X intro and outro were the highlights of the video.

WeWrite: How do you feel about Ice Cube and Killer Mike appearing on a song together?

Webbafied: I think it’s a great look when legendary MC’s pair up with guys from the next generation. Killer Mike is not brand new on the scene but he is no where near Ice Cube’s level. What better way to become a legend, than to work with a legend.

WeWrite: Are you a fan of Killer Mike? Of Ice Cube?

Webbafied: I’m a huge Ice Cube fan. I was really into his older stuff, but I always try giving his new stuff a chance. I remember that song Killer Mike did with Outkast, but I never really checked for his solo material.

WeWrite: Do you think that a lot of mainstream artists in Hip-Hop are afraid to make videos/songs with this kind of subject matter?

Webbafied: I think they are afraid to risk their success. This kind of video would never get play on any of the major video networks. Mainstream acts have so much power, but most of them don’t utilize it.

WeWrite: What projects are you working on right now?

Webbafied: I just started a new group called TOO MANY FISH. My man Molecule does the beats and I do the rhymes.
