![Paid Dues 2012 w/ DJ Quick + Kendrick Lamar + more [ Concert Review + Live Video ]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4209929_lg.jpg)
Paid Dues [ Guerilla Union ]: Official | Facebook The Seventh Annual "Paid Dues" independent hip hop festival was a day that was as much for the soul as it was for the ears. With the insanely talented line up of some of the best underground hip hop artists like Wu-Tang, Dip Set, Odd Future, DJ Quik, Kendrick Lamar, Crooked I etc...the expectations for this years Paid Dues was through the roof. Like many Guerilla Union events like Rock The Bells and Smokeout , this years Paid Dues was hot [...]
Did you want to hear Suga Free rapping over a sample of Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams" about how much he wants to sex Jill Scott, Sade, and Raven Simone? Maybe it's best that you don't publicly answer that question (though the comment section is open). Not only does Suga Free protege Pomona Pimpin' Young have the best new name in rap, he is far more than weed carrier. on their new mixtape, there is also a song called "Succa Repellent," where Suga Free kicks his silky flow with waves still deeper than Redondo Beach. This is Cadillac-riding, Vaseline-smooth pimp shit and [...]

Prince Paul Prince Paul didn't just expand the definition of what hip-hop could and should sound like – he took the Hip-Hop dictionary tore it up and then recorded a skit about it. Whether playing as part of a live band (Stetsasonic), sampling hippie-rock and french-language instructional records (De La Soul), accidentally inventing Horrorcore (The Gravediggaz) or recording a collection [...]
After Suga Free dropped two extremely solid albums with the imaginative DJ Quik at the helm, brotherly beef between the two left Free's 2006 release Just Add Water without a single selection from his mentor and in-house production powerhouse. However, despite Quik's absence, the jheri-curled connoisseur of pimpin' hoes from Pomona regrouped and delivered a well-rounded, but reaching, sound that wasn't quite as good as the blueprint it was built from. In the midst of the imitation, however, was a completely-unique gem, called "The Ranger." Constructed around a shimmering guitar-melody and [...]
DJ Quick is a modern day player philosopher, and like any player philosopher he lives by certain credos. Keep it simple, stay fresh, and don't care about nobody that don't care bout you. I aint mad at ya Quick, get it how you live.
California and beautiful weather. Pool parties and bikinis. Perms and O.Gs. DJ Quik and Suga Free . When each of these pairs are united, the respective outcome of their solo input is always heightened. So, with all of those combos present and in full effect for Mr. Blake's latest Red-Bull-backed visual from The Book Of David , you can expect "Nobody" would be left let down. Especially not fans, who now have visual reinforcement to their hopes Street Gospel 2 might be up a silk sleeve, somewhere there in [...]
In the words of Lucille Bluth: that hair. Those wondering where the Weekly wrangled the fish net phalanx for the cover, look no further. I did not mention that Suga Free is in the final stages of signing a deal with Quk's Mad Science. The Quik-produced full length is expected in the fall, which probably means the Spring. But still.

Mr. Blake drops his second visual from the new album 'Book Of David'. Funk for your trunk.
Photo via Forest Casey There's a lot left out of my DJ Quik profile . No Suga Free. No AMG. No Hi-C. NOTHING ON QUIK'S GROOVES. Too little on the music and only a cursory mention of anything between Quik is the Name and the Book of David . 2000 words isn't enough to write David Blake's 1-sheet, let alone a feature that neatly captures his sinistral genius. Still, I'm thankful for what I got. Ask any freelancer about snaring that many words in a contemporary print publication [...]
I'm sitting here looking at the clock tick motherfucking tock. I'm sitting here looking at the clock tick motherfucking tock. If you got something to do you'd best go ahead and do it bang bang time's up bang bang you blew it. Qui s'y connait mieux en détente estivale que ces bons vieux gros rappers californiens? Rien que pour toi voici la crème de la crème du rap old school groovy et underground. Non non me remercie pas [...]
I don't know what sparked Suga Free's sudden reappearance onto the scene, but I'd be a liar if I said I wasn't highly pleased to hear his ridiculously misogynistic style over the drums of a new era. It's not like I share the views he expresses in his verses, but by the time the 16th bar is spit my head is nodding and my smile can't be hidden. Whether this action makes me any less of a good person is yet to be seen. For the second time in 2010 [...]

If you're a fan of either one of these artists, it should warm your soul a little to see the title of this post. Any DJ Quik diehard will tell you their favorite permed-out producer/rapper is better with his one-time protege Suga Free than without, and vice versa. It's in the handbook you get once you've purchased Balance & Options more than five times. From Rhythmalism to Street Gospel , Balance & Options to The New Testament , these two interwove their [...]
So nice we had to hit em twice! Watts up, Watts up faithfuls! Trusting you all had a great New Year & a day after to not do anything but recoup back to G status! I felt it necessary to come with the sequel to the compilation my cuzzo Killa Cam & I dropped back in July of last year , where we highlight the artists & music coming out of our lovely city. We went further in on this one & you can judge for yourself on the Track list & DL which is after the [...]
A few West Coasters you may know by name decided to get together for some ghetto gospel. Only thing blasphemous about this joint is there's no album to follow-up on it. Long live the Aftermath's impotence! (Pause) Download - Bishop Lamont Feat. Xzibit - "Hallelujah" (Prod. By Dr. Dre) Peace & Blessings to OnSMASH Bonus Download - Bishop Lamont Feat.

Anyone that truly knows my musical inclinations knows that DJ Quik is in my Top 5 of artists of all time. So the fact that I am on the same bill with him has me JUICED. The one thing that I can say about him is that he has always been ahead of the curve, able to do what others in his genre could never think of doing. Back in middle school I remember watching PBS right before Reading Rainbow was about to come on, when all of a sudden "Quik's Groove III" [...]
New music from Mr. Why U Bullshittin, Suga Free. "Cali" is the lead single from his upcoming release, Hi Power Pimpin , which features Chicano emcee Mr.Capone-E and is aptly titled. Over a bouncy bass line and high-pitched gangsta whistle, E and Free spit about the luxuries of living that Leftcoast lifestyle that makes us Midwesterners cold and resentful. Dope as Free sounds over the knocking beat, though, the rerun theme leaves listeners feeling as though they've heard the song 100 times before the first spin. [...]
