The anticipation behind the opening notes of an STS9 set has to be seen to be believed. The crowd is literally bubbling with energy, mostly directing it towards keeping the entire zoo of inflatable animals afloat on the surface of an ocean of people. Set against the backdrop of Sherwood Forest, the wooded area that separates the Ranch Arena from the two bigger stages, this is the Rothbury Festival's chance to show off the expensive lights which your $280 ticket presumably helped pay for. This is the festival's big special effects showpiece, the one which justifies the trip [...]
Matt and Kim announce Triple Rock gig, MPR interviews Dave Pirner & photos of P.O.S. in the UK.

This past weekend, our resident hip-hop guru, Michael Denslow, traveled to the Motor City to take in the sights and sounds of this year's edition of Rock the Bells. His experience follows... Rock the Bells evokes mixed feelings among many hip hop fans. On the one hand, the festival is notorious for delays, cancellations and shortened set times. On the other hand, you simply aren't going to find this many great rap acts on one stage anywhere else. I attended the second show of the tour at the DTE [...]
Minneapolis will get a preview of the new material before the album drops.

Vi starter hårdt ud med noget af det ondeste, vi har hørt i lang tid. Lazy Rich er nemlig tilbage med endnu et killer-track. Herefter sætter vi fokus på Boy 8-Bit 's nye EP Baltic Pine , som blev udgivet 2 dage siden. Resten af EP'en kan erhverves på Beatport . T.E.D.D. er en forholdvist ung duo fra Storbritannien. Her har de skabt et intenst remix af Modjo 's gamle hit, Lady . Videre til Chasing Shadows , som har remixet og omdannet Damian Marley 's [...]

Island Records started in Jamaica. The record label, which turns 50 this year, began in the back of Chris Blackwell's van, where he hawked ska and rocksteady singles, and, despite its migration into rock, hip hop, and world music, the label would never finally abandon the music that quite literally brought it to life: reggae and its precursors.

Can you say epic (shouts to 2DopeBoyz )? That's exactly what this artwork is for Chali 2na's new album Fish Outta Water , which will be dropping July 7th. This album looks like it's going to be great. We will hear guest appearances from Talib Kweli, Beenie Man, Elzhi (holy shit), as well as Damian & Steven Marley. On the production side we will see Jake One, Vitamin D & Scott Storch (isn't he in jail?). Follow me after the jump for the tracklisting. 1. Get Focused 2. International f. Beenie Man 3. So [...]
The Disco Biscuits just capped off a Winter/Spring Tour that many fans feel was one of their strongest and most consistent tours in the last few years. The band also finalized plans for the eighth incarnation of their signature music festival, Camp Bisco , which takes place July 16-18, returning again to the Indian Lookout Country Club in Mariaville, New York outside of Albany. As in years past, the Biscuits have pulled together a solid lineup of bands and DJ's that tend towards electronic dance music but include plenty of exceptions to that rule: [...]
![The Roots, Big Boi, And Nas Will Be Touring With Bells On [Lineups]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1647012_lg.jpg)
The Roots , Nas, Damian Marley , Big Boi, and Common are headlining this year's installment of the Rock The Bells tour, which will set up shop in 10 cities across North America this summer. Nas and Marley are also putting out an album in June , so presumably they'll share some stage time. The bill's exact lineup will fluctuate a bit from city to city, but a rundown of all the performers scheduled to play at least one date is after the jump. The image [...]

Ummm wow. That was my initial reaction when I saw this post at Hip Hop DX . With the initial artist lineup, this looks like (to me) that this is going to be the concert of the year. I know for sure that I am going to be trying like hell to make the Chicago show, because this is something I definitely don't want to miss. This looks like the most studded Hip-Hop lineup I've seen for a show this year, and there are still more to be announced. If you get a chance to get tickets, please do [...]
