Rock the Bells Press Conference 2012

Next Tuesday, May 15th, 2012 is a big day for Hip-Hop festivals & events. Guerilla Union will be announcing the lineup for Rock the Bells, arguably one of Hip-Hop’s most influential events. So big that only a press conference followed by a concert will do it justice, lol. Obviously no details have been leaked of who is or will be headlining but I’ve drawn up two hunches of who it could possibly be.

1. Outkast
2. Bone Thugs n Harmony

You many wonder what made me come to those conclusions but hec, even I don’t know – again, just a hunch but if anything, I’d have to say GU had a lot to do with me choosing them.

WE KNOW YOU ALL HAVE BEEN DYING FOR SOME ROCK THE BELLS LEAKS, SO HERE’S ONE FOR YOU:
ONE OF HIP-HOP’S MOST INFLUENTIAL GROUPS WILL BE REUNITED AT THIS YEAR’S LAUNCH PARTY!

IN ORDER TO HAVE ALL MEMBERS TOGETHER FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS,
WE HAVE DECIDED TO MOVE THE LAUNCH PARTY TO TUESDAY, MAY 15TH.
TRUST US—THIS GROUP IS WORTH ONE EXTRA WEEK OF ANTICIPATION.

IN ADDITION TO THIS REUNION, THE CALIBER OF ARTISTS AND THE MAGNITUDE OF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT
IS GOING TO MAKE FOR THE BIGGEST ROCK THE BELLS YET. THIS IS HISTORY IN THE MAKING.

-GU

Nonetheless, I can’t wait. I had the opportunity to attend 2010′s’ press conference and it was definitely inspiring, informative, and interresting. I’ll be at this years conference and just might live stream…

Jordan Brand raises prices on Retros

It was recently confirmed that the price increases for Jordan Brand Retros will take place starting this holiday season with the Air Jordan 11 “Bred” Retro. Look out for a price increase of only $5 to $185. May not sound like much but looking at the bigger picture(worldwide sales) & the fact that most shoe addicts and long time fans consider even current prices to be too steep, one has to wonder what this will mean for future purchases..

NIKE AIR MAX 90 HYPERFUSE “OLYMPIC” Release Date

I mentioned these about 4 week ago and if you didn’t know I’m hypebeasting digging these. Well it’s been confirmed that Nike will be releasing these at retailers May 19th which happens to be the same day as the Jordan Cool Grey 12. Decisions decisions….

AIR JORDAN 12 – COOL GREY

As time gets closer to to release of the “Cool Grey” XII they hype just doesn’t seem to be there anymore. The Cavs IV is dropping this month, The Olympic 90 Air Max is now confimed to be releasing the same day and now we get news that the Reebok Question White/Red is dropping on May 25th. With so much heat coming this month I wouldn’t consider this a colorway a #RoboCop but a nice Summer kick much like the white low XI. What do you think?

OH NO – OHNOMITE(Tracklist + Leak)

Following two successful collaborative efforts alongside fellow producer/rapper The Alchemist as the power duo Gangrene -2010’s Gutter Water and 2012’s Vodka & Ayahuasca- and the 2011 gem with The Alchemist as Gangrene & Roc Marciano, the Greneberg EP; The Oxnard, California based beat-smith and emcee Oh No returns for a solo mission.

Oh No (born Michael Jackson; younger brother of Madlib and son of singer Otis Jackson) was granted unprecedented access to the Rudy Ray Moore / Dolemite audio archives and given free rein to slice, dice, chop and sample his way through the classic-yet-absolutely-filthy catalog. He was able to use legendary material from The Human Tornado, Petey Wheatstraw, the Dolemite Soundtrack and more, plus a multitude of previously unreleased and alternate acapellas and instrumentals. The end result is Ohnomite, a 19 track head-banging extravaganza of sloppy funk, dirty soul, and brainy lyricism, all aimed at one thing- making your head nod and your ass shake. And when you add to that guests spots from the likes of MF Doom, Evidence, Phife Dawg, The Alchemist, Erick Sermon, Rapper Pooh, MED, Guilty Simpson, Roc Marciano, Sticky Fingaz, Chino XL, Roc C, Prozack Turner, Termanology, Frank Nitt and more, and you are left with a one of a kind album from a one of a kind musician. Ohnomite- 19 songs of pure whoop ass from Oh No and Dolemite!

The First leak from Ohnomite “Whoop Ass” ft. Sticky Fingaz is available here
