i recently watched their project overground DVD which is my first exposure to this group of american underground rappers...not sure about their vibe,we'll see.As an underground crew they have such a substantial following its amazing...while here in Mzansi rap musicians battle to get gigs.

i was talking to this rap musician and he told me that promoters have a problem where to fit in hip hop acts unless its a hip hop show....for example would they fit them after Mzekezeke before Malaika?local acts don't excite crowds...or so they say...but you have exceptions like HHP...

the scienz of life dvd got me thinking that hip hop crews should get together and organise their own gigs...own venues ...form a strong hip hop network, i know people are already working towards this...keep on keeping on...

Yeah, I'm feeling what rush is saying, last year I took a conscious decision to start buying shit more, especially that from our own continent. I will always tell people to at least buy our own shit if they dont wanna buy that much hiphop. We not cool at times, mean how should this cats pay for all the studio time, etc and still make nice music, for US to enjoy!

Yeah, another bro I know just bought the Blue Note Remixes of old Otis Jackson as well as the Mm..Food album of Doom at CDWherehouse.I didnt even know they had it in stock.But thats refreshing to see peeps going out and buying this material.Ok, Lib and Doom are some of his favs, but its gr8 to see.I mean, its not cheap, those ones specifically, but its gr8 to see peeps actually forking out for it.
