Copycat's only shown up on the AC radar a few times but what we've heard we've liked. This latest track, "Chief Rockers", has a strong groove to it and some throwback, RunDMC-esque rapping care of Busy Bee laid in with lofi postproduction. I'll be head-nodding to this later tonight for sure. COPYCAT ft Busy Bee - Chief Rockers (low res) "See Description Regarding D/L" by COPYCAT
While some other pregnant pop personalities opt for scary maternity wear this Halloween, Beyonce opted for an adorable bee outfit while attending Kanye West's costume party at Darby restaurant in New York City last night. (Chances the DJ at said party played Beyonce and Kanye's "Party" ? 100%.) Head below for one more pic of Bey-as-a-bee! Even her shoes match! Well done, lady! Of course, the evening's host wore a costume, though we're not positive what he was supposed [...]

Far be it for me, a mere Canadian with a music blog, to comment on something like the whole rancorous American health care debate, which is completely none of my business. But, I have to say, when I read things like this story about the legendary DJ Kool Herc 's treatment for kidney stones leading to a "financial crisis" because he doesn't have health insurance, I have to shake my head in wonder. You can be on whatever side of this whole health care debate that you wish, but it seems to me you'd have [...]
I did this re-edit years ago, and had it just sitting on the studio computer. I actually found this record at Record Land in Calgary back when I was djing there a lot. The copy I got was horrible, but luckly I found a CD comp with this song on it the very next day at Record Land and had something I could use to edit. Anyway, the song is a dope disco rap jam that features Busy Bee on the MIC. I made and intro and outro and cut some bits up, I wanted a shorter version to mix [...]

Lately I've been feeling a lot like this Liz Lemon quote from last week's brilliant new episode of 30 Rock. Except, there's no comic relief and I don't get to meet Oprah. Not even a fake Oprah.
A little while back Dex over at The Mixtape Show hit me up about one of my beats he had heard. Being a fan of his site, I sent a copy his way without thinking twice. He recently featured the cut ( "Cali Jam 3 w/ Busy Bee" ) on Mixtape 56 . If you haven't checked the site before, click here and you can subscribe directly through iTune. Good looking Dex. busy bee , Podcast , the mixtape show , wild style
