I caught the first hip-hop show at the new Crocodile Cafe last weekend, and "new" is certainly the right term. "Remodled" or "revamped" would be an understatement. The occasion was the record release party for Dyme Def's new EP Panic, which has to be a leap along the road towards legitimate national attention for the energetic and talented locals. Despite some light contraversy surrounding the show, the vibe was good all night. The performers and the audience couldn't seem to get enough of each other, and I kept wondering how [...]
Dyme Def and Saigon present the video for PICKUPYAFLOW. Saigon spits that animalistic grimey ish on PICKUPYAFLOW . Is it me, or is Dyme Def reminiscent of the Young Gunz??? Regardless, Dyme Def did their thing as well. PICKUPYAFLOW goes to show that underground hip hop aritsts can definitely collaborate on hip hop music with hit potential. Hopefully PICKUPYAFLOW starts gettings some airplay as its catchier than h1n1 and I hate to say it, but Saigon needs a break from the major media conglomerates. If you're on the west coast, watch out for Dyme Def and [...]

Dyme Def and Saigon collaborate on PICKUPYAFLOW . Both Dyme Def and Saigon will be touring the West Coast together shortly. You may remember this track from the Behind The Scenes Video footage that I posted of hip hop video for PICKUPYAFLOW. The track is dope, and Saigon does his thing on his verse. For all you out west, look out for Dyme Def and Saigon hitting a city near you. And yeah, in the meantime, hit the download. Download: Dyme Def featuring Saigon - PICKUPYAFLOW [...]
Spaceman is an MC trapped in a Hype Man. The first time I saw him perform was at Chop Suey in Seattle. He wasn't scheduled on the bill, but still managed to make his way on stage to freestyle; he literally stole the show. His charisma and energy held the audience hostage. The fact that Spaceman served as D. Black's Hype Man before he went solo in 2008 may attribute to his electric performances, but I think he was born for this. Spaceman's music is not introspective or wordy, which is a relief. This music [...]
Blue Scholars along with fellow Massline veterans Common Market start their three day joint residency of Neumos tonight, and the first two shows are sold out. Tonight Common Market continues his experiment of holding it down with live funk band Vunt Foom for just this one night, while electronic act Truckasaurus starts the party. Tomorrow and Monday lucky T-Town boy Macklemore snags an opening spot, with Sunday's bill being filled out by The Physics . Monday Dyme Def get's an opportunity to steal (or at least [...]

Dart Adams & Amp said: No mention of the Celtics winning their 18th straight game to go 26-2 while the Lakers have dropped two straight? ========================== Nobody cares till the playoffs, Dart. In theory…yes. But I'm talking about where are all of the Laker and Cavs stans at right now? TSS will do NBA drop and the C's get minimal love meanwhile they're breaking longstanding records and having a historic season. I can't front. With the NFL playoffs about to start, it's hard to concentrate on the NBA right [...]

Before somebody starts accusing me of lacking journalistic integrity let me say this: I work for Light In The Attic, the home of The Saturday Knights. I try not to cover Light-related artists on the site, but due to a confluence of circumstances this weekend I was the only member of the Sound on the Sound team to make it to The Saturday Knights' 2nd Annual Donut Eating Contest. So, with full disclosure on the table, my numerical coverage of The Saturday Knights' 2nd Annual Donut Eating Contest: Getting it [...]
I had a huge end of the year throwdown post ready to go a couple weeks ago, forgot about it and didn't post for a while after that. But, I'm back and I got some real hot shit today. A new anthem from Arno Cost , this banging track in the Florida vibes/sexual eruption vein from Ballgreezy , and a new track from the dudes Dyme Def , who I just can't get enough of. Dyme Def is killing it. Arno Cost - Souvenir [...]
