This 1995 single, ' The Nod Factor ' by your favorite rappers favorite ghostwriter, Skillz from Richmond, VA was from a time when he was ' Mad ', but he is much happier now. The track was produced by The Beatnuts and was from Skillz' 1996 debut ' From Where??? .' You can check Skillz out on MySpace at http://myspace.com/skillz or Twitter @ skillzva .
When Thrash Hits got all excited over Lamb of God's tasty sixth album, Wrath , earlier this year, it was because of its groove-riding cowboy riffery, and the sheer weight of seasoned raw fury it offered. But clearly some clever so-and-so's felt a bit different - and have gone re-worked the album's chief calling card, 'Set To Fail' , into a slice of smooth jazz funk. Thanks to those good fellows over at [...]
Your favorite rappers favorite ghostwriter and Richmond, VA representative, Skillz gathered Pavar Snipe (producer for Norfolk, VA 's 103JAMZ ), DJ Babey Drew ( Chris Brown 's official DJ) and DJ B*Ryte for the latest edition of Mr. Skillz's Hip-Hop Confessions series. Try and guess which of the 3 guests are not a fan of Prince , thought Camp Lo 's " Luchini " came out last year and didn't know Dr. Dre and Easy-E we're [...]
Saraquill demanded kindly suggested this track to me and it was her birthday yesterday, so I allowed it. Her friend, CJ MIlli mashed Blink 182 's " Every Time I Look For You The Sun Goes Down " with the DJ Barletta remix to the song " Blow it (Up Your Nose) " from a person/band/group called Pseudonympho (...couldn't find anything about it via Google.) CJ had made the track for her boyfriend for his birthday a few weeks ago. [...]

Another destroying mash-up ( the first one was ill ) from Richmond's eye-candy-who-slays-as-a-DJ-to o-so-take-her-seriously-or-she 'll-punch-you-in-the-mouth CJ Milli . This time, it's a mash of the Discotech remix of Kanye West 's "Homecoming and the Empire Of The Sun anthem "We Are The People (Jimmy2Sox remix)" and the reasoning behind it is simple: CJ and her boy Viking always got the party bumping when they would put these two tracks back-to-back in their sets, so why not smash 'em up and make them better as one, right? We think it's bombed out and really really good, so we figured [...]
We not-so-secretly love it when the females rock harder than the dudes, like in a 90s-northwest-coast-girls-up-f ront thing but for the now era, the kids coming up today who couldn't tell Kathleen Hanna from Polly Jean Harvey (oh snap!). With this Richmond-area chick CJ Milli --who destroyed it big time a few months back with her remix of Lady GaGa's "Just Dance" --you get the very top of both of those worlds, an educated girl who's not afraid of taking bits and pieces from, literally, all over the place and mashing them up in such a way that makes [...]
Honestly though you guys, if you're not all up on Richmond, VA-based killer DJ VIKING (subdrive!!!), prepare to have this site sort of taken over in the next few--all about this dude. He's destroyed us previously with that OnCue remix and he basically took over the show on Friday night at Webster Hall (photos soon) and, well, we won't even bother calling him "emerging" because dude has already hit. All that's left is a peak. Here's another piece to that end, a rad mixtape from April that includes tracks by Kanye, Futurecop!, Empire Of [...]
I drank Mountain Dew at about midnight. Now I am just waiting for the caffiene to kick in or wear off. Until then, I feel the need to document biking adventures for people who are considering investing in a bike. I'm new to the whole thing, too, so I'm just going to share my own experience. You can't really take my word as The Word. But I'd be more than happy if you'd share tips or your own experiences with me! I'm currently obsessed with biking for many reasons, one of which being my lack of hunger for [...]
The news first started circulating about a week ago that Toad's Place , the Richmond, Virginia music venue, had closed its doors. As first reported by the Richmond Times-Dispatch on March 9, legal notices had been posted around the venue stating that the venue had closed due to " serious default in rental payment and other obligations . . . " [read the Richmond Times Dispatch's initial reporting HERE ]. In checking out the venue's website in the days [...]
![Nickelus F - Make ‘Em Say Uhh [Freestyle].](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1589917_lg.jpg)
guys, people definitely forgot about this beat. it's one of the hottest hip-hop beats of all time, i don't care who you are, you can't tell me this simple-synth track doesn't hit every time. especially those "OH! OH OH!" vocal effects. damn. some may complain that the original didn't feature any really good lyricists. i disagree, it's a classic, and everybody's verse is perfect, even mystikal's joint. you know you don't know what he's saying, and it's still hot. my bad. i got sidetracked. richmond's nickelus F has decided to get lyrical for a good 4:30 [...]
Paper Snowflakes | Son, Ambulance [ mediafire ] [ buy ] Snow makes me briefly happy, but coldness generally makes me want to hibernate or die. Oh yeah, it snowed today as well as last night. I like Son, Ambulance because they're one of the more subtly sexual but beautiful bands I started listening to in my mid-teens. By this, I mean that there is some sex in most every song, but that instead of being raunchy, it's more like a distant but fond memory, kind of nostalgic and never dirty. [...]
This is my first roll of Diana+ Dreamer film. I exposed it a little before I started, while I was loading, because it confused the fuck out of me. I am a n00b, but now I know. [...]
