Protect The CoSign

In our post 2010 society, plenty of artists have managed prolong their 15 minutes of fame with a co-sign. Em did it with D-12, Jay did it with Bleek, and Wiz is doing it with Chevy Woods...The mission of PNC and all those affiliated is to Protect The CoSign.

Hosted by Bodega Radio On-Air personality, The Company Man, Kid Potential, and Combat Jack.

This is definitely going to be an event that you don't want to miss, especially with a Hennessy open bar from 7 to 8.

They call it Sting Ray, and we call it good and fresh out the oven.

Come to think of it....this does sound like an alarm you might hear in a submarine if a giant stingray attacked Godzilla style.

Dubstep remix was also dropped with Benga.

Idle Warship with The Company Man

Gasoline Dream hasn't been puttin' ya'll on to events as of late due to the lack of hotness in the area, however, that is all about to change very very soon.

While many of you who follow these high profile Hip-Hop websites may know of the homie, The Company Man, for his official journalism skills, he's also been steppin his game up as a host for a more than his fair share of dope events. This next one will not be any different and it's in collaboration with our peoples over at Forever Fresh and Brooklyn Bodega. Squad UP

Among the select group of prodigies are three black players from the New York City area - Justus Williams, Joshua Colas, and James Black Jr. - who each became masters before their 13th birthdays.

Forever YOUNG

I'm still watching this interview courtesy of Red Bull and Chairman Mao with Young Guru and dude is dropping GEMS. I highly recommend.

CMJ 2011: RUN CMJ

Ugh, this is some crappy weather, but today’s showcase with Rocksmith is sure to break more than a couple of necks. STS, King Fantastic, and Dom Kennedy?? Don’t mind if I do attend this appropriately named event.

A little birdie told me a well respected OG from Queensbridge might be rollin through too so um yea…RSVP and I’ll see you there.

CMJ 2011: We Got The Jazz

I'ma be out and about doing what I need to do for this year's CMJ. Last Night I was over at Drom with Brooklyn Bodega for We Got The Jazz where all of the artists showed their asses off.

Below's a pic of the headliner, Kansas City's own, Miles Bonny. Dude is the real deal. Forreal forreal, you should check out his project Lumber Jack Soul. This is also probably one of the dopest titles in a long time.

Fight against Stop-and-Frisk

Past due issue...

Outside City Hall Park, there will be a few speeches. After the demonstration, the students will fan out and visit the offices of City Council members.

They have two purposes.

The first is to protest New York City’s practice of having the police stop and frisk hundreds of thousands of young people, mostly African-Americans and Latinos, an overwhelming majority of whom are charged with nothing.

The second is to do something about it.

Rick Perry's Ties #CMonSon

"Rick Perry, The Apocalypse, and God's Army. Can we get a legit RNC runner who is not tied to crazy. Did McCain ruin that when he sold out and brought Glen Rice's jump off into his campaign?" - Aln Yves

If Governor Rick Perry (R) of Texas runs for president of the United States, he will have one of the most unusual and specific bases for his platform of any candidate in many decades—the spiritual visions of the ancient Hebrew prophet Joel.

Perry has jumped on the “Joel’s Army” bandwagon, claiming in his promotional message for his The Response prayer and fasting event in Houston in August: “Some problems are beyond our power to solve, and according to the Book of Joel, Chapter 2, this historic hour demands a historic response.”
