Rock the Bells 2010 Line-up Press Conference
May 29, 2010 by socal
Filed under Events, Featured, Interviews
May 24th, Guerilla Union hosted the Rock the Bells 2010 Launch Party and Line-up Debut Event which featured Hors d’oeuvres, a press conference, followed by Q & A interviews of everyone on the discussion panel. We were there live via press and got an exclusive insight on what to expect from this years Hip-Hop festival. First, the show will be in 4 cities this year:
Aug. 21 – NOS Events Center – San Bernardino, CA
Aug. 22 – Shoreline Amphitheater – San Francisco, CA
Aug. 28 – Governer’s Island – New York
Aug. 29 – Merriweather Pavilion – Columbia, MD
What you may think is lacking in locations or quantity is made up in acts and quality as GU is making 2010 one of the biggest festivals this year as the following acts will be at this years show(s):
Supernatural – Hosting
DJ Rocky Rock – Hosting
Performing:
Wu-Tang Clan, Rakim, KRS-One, Slick Rick, Street Sweeper Social Club, Murs and 9th Wonder, Wiz Khalifa, Clipse, Immortal Technique, Jedi Mind Tricks, Brother Ali, DJ Muggs and Ill Bill, Big Sean, Yelawolf,
To add to the hype GU is having headliners perform their most influential albums in their entirety. Wu-Tang Clan will perform Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers from beginning to end, Rakim is set to perform Paid In Full, his first full-length album with Eric B. Slick Rick will spit his 1989 released, The Great Adventures of Slick Rick, and KRS-One will perform all of Criminal Minded.
The online leak claim that ATCQ(A Tribe Called Quest) & Lauryn Hill was promptly addressed. With the show(s) being over 3 months out, It’s way too early to confirm those two acts being incorporated into the line-up.
After all the discussions, press, photos, video, interviews, questions, and networking, it was time to enjoy the show as GU presented the performances and show to the public. We at A07 Entertainment & Media would like to thank the following for letting us cover this event. Here’s a few of the photos from press view.

Hellz Bellz Spring ‘10 “Obsessed With You” Collection
Hellz is proud to present our new Spring Collection, “Obsessed with You,” a collection photographed by Brooke Nipar and modeled by Xian, that reflects an obscure view of modern fashion and the obsession that it becomes. A minimal color story reflects the theme of obsession with the main focus on the unique and simplistic details of each silhouette. The Killa, in particular, is a cowl neck tunic given a hint of seductiveness through the use of a subtle zipper detail at the back of the dress. An exciting new take on the traditional blazer is Coat Tailz, which features a circle cut and a unique draped back.
With this new and daring collection, Hellz continues to cross boundaries with well thought-out design and carefully crafted details as well as demonstrating that fashion may be work to some and it may be a hobby for others, but for popular culture it will forever be an obsession.
I always find myself keeping up with Hellz. I’m a damn guy. But hey their line is dope and they keep em sexy[ladies]. I aint complainin’ I’m just sayin….view the line here

A07 x Mayer Hawthorne Interview
October 22, 2009 by socal
Filed under Celebrities, Community, Featured, Interviews
If had all the money in the world to pick out the band I wanted they’re who I’d pick. I’m spoiled rotten right now
Andrew Mayer Cohen a.k.a Mayer Hawthorne, simply put, is a chameleon. He has a tendency to quietly blend in with the crowd. It’s possible to walk right past him and not even recognize him. Well, at least as Andrew – but when it’s time to hit the stage Mayer sets a soulful tone that wakes up the dead, and yet calms all calamities. If there’s any such thing as pure talent, Mayer fits the bill. From playing the bass guitar since age 6, to being signed after only playing 2 songs he created, this Hip-Hop DJ turned Soul Musician’s music will have you hooked from beginning to end.
A07 – So you just got off stage, how are you feeling?
Mayer – Good man, Life’s great! Just finished up the Lonely Hearts Club tour and we’re out to Europe next.
A07 – Okay, so coming out of Ann Arbor, Michigan, talk about your homes music scene and your transition from Hip-Hop DJ to 60’s soul singer…
Mayer – There’s a lot of unbelievably incredible talent in the Detroit area and I’m extremely blessed to be apart of the Michigan music scene. I couldn’t be more proud to represent. I’ve been a Hip-Hop DJ & producer for the last 12 years. I moved out to Los Angeles to pursue Hip-Hop, met Peanut Butter Wolf and wound up doing soul music. That’s just how it goes sometimes.[laughs]
A07 – Since meeting up with Wolf, how’s the relationship been with him and the record label?
Mayer – Man, Stones Throw is the greatest! They’ve always been one of my favorites even before the deal. Its incredible to be able to work with the same label as J. Dilla and more. It’s a family affair over there. We have a good time.
A07 – So what’s it like touring with Ghostface and newcomers like Fashawn?
Mayer – Incredible! This tour was amazing for me and I happy because it allowed me to get my music out to so many people and meet everybody and say what’s up!
A07 – You had quite a reaction out there tonight…You enjoy the love?
Mayer – Yeah San Diego has always been good man, I’ve had a lot of good shows out here. Definitely want to come back again.
A07 – We noticed on your Twitter that your quite fond of our local beer selections…Any specifics?
Mayer – Well there’s so many good micro-breweries out here it’s hard to say. I like how almost all the bars brew there own beer.
A07 – So how’s touring with your band?
Mayer – Its great, They’re all my favorite musicians. I mean, if I had all the money in the world to pick out the band I wanted, they’re who I’d pick. I’m spoiled rotten right now.[laughs]
A07 – So your known as an instrumentalist, is there any particular instrument you prefer to play?
Mayer – My primary instrument is the bass guitar. My father taught me how to play bass at 6. He played bass too. I always wanted to be a drummer but my parents wouldn’t let me have drum set in the house cause it made too much noise. I would sneak over to my friends house and play drums whenever I could, now drums are my favorite. But in the end they’re all important.
A07 – You know music and fashion go hand-n-hand. Are there any specific brands that you’re into?
Mayer – Well, I’m not really a brand guy. I like to flip it between future and vintage styles. I wear a lot of vintage suits but a lot of new sneakers. I basically wear whatever works, is eye catching, or classy. Stay classy San Diego!![laughs]
A07 – Thnx a lot!
