RETURNTOHIPHOP.COM IS LIVE ...NOW!

This site is dedicated to the elements of hip hop; the culture that transforms the DNA of all it touches

It is dedicated to the Mc’s who live underground, that hone their craft to precision, who pushes out fresh work be their voice heard or not

It is dedicated to the producers and DJ’s who provide the frame on which the MC’s rhyme is built, the beat assassins who create the rhythm to which heads nod and bodies move

It is dedicated to the B-boys and B-girls who come with the dopest uprock and aerials who put their bodies on the line with a passion unbound.

This space is dedicated to graffiti artists the scribes of colorful hieroglyphs that tell the story of Hip Hop

This is my love letter to every amazing talented real artist- the ones I know and the ones I’ve yet to meet- who serves at the altar of Hip hop

Welcome

It’s all hip hop and it’s all love …

[returntohiphop]

When I started Return to Hip Hop it was with the intent of chronicling my return to the deep love I now have for Hip Hop.  Now that I am in year 2 it has taken a turn a become something much more.  So much more that it cannot live in this space any more to be functional for its purpose.   

As a result ...I have to say good by to tumblr and Hello to my owned by me site which I hope to have up by the beginning of May.

in a couple of hours everything I have done here will be transferred to there 

I will let yall know when we are ready to be seen ..  till then fam thanks for rocking with me 

...it’s all Hip Hop and it’s all Love ...

Honor Roll: Arizona to Illinois

Whats Good Fam?

About Saturday Night ...

I kicked off my 2016 Hip Hop adventure at the House Cafe in DeKalb, IL

The Spot-

The House Cafe is a ecletic space with a good sized performance/dance area.   It def screamed COLLEGE HANG OUT spot but not in a bad way; the food and adult bevs were on point.  The only thing that gave me pause was the sound quality but that is nothing new in the live performance vs. venue relationship that said it is def a decent place for Hip Hop.

The Performances

The Honor Roll camp was in the spot deep from Illinois to Arizona they came through and showed strength in their performances.  Let me back track for a second watching how everyone shows love when the others are performing and just the good vibrations that travels between the HRG family in general speaks to their current and future success.

As promised for your prayers to  the deities of your choice for my safe arrival ( they worked) I have video to share

cause caring is sharing and ya’ll family.... 

The HighestLow with Black Logic- Y’all know how I feel about these guys nothing but love for all 3 

Broken Wristwatch-  Nick Arcade and Tom Moore a balance of smooth and gryme.  Most chill and unassuming guys you will ever meet ...till they hit the stage...beasts 

Jaca Zulu-  First Time seeing this gentleman...he stays lit 

Marley B-  First time hearing his work ... his flow def appeals to my sensibilities I will absolutely be looking into his work  

Johnny Redd and Marley B-  I so regret that I did not get Johnny Redd by himself but the roads were getting bad...so we had to bounce.  Next time he is town tho ...cause: max dopeness

Honorable Mentions

The Alimoe, Steven Lee, The Prescription

i put these acts in honorable mentions because in all honesty I wasn't feeling their work but I see the potential down the road for greatness. In my opinion there needs to be some decisions made on content and delivery of work. 

That’s just my honest 

the kick off is official ...it was lit ...until next time 

as always

...its all Hip Hop and its all Love

[returntohiphop]

What’s good fam

Many blessings to you all I hope this post finds ya’ll well…safe…and happy

I had another post prepared for my return

Then one of my RHHH (Real Hip Hop Headz) fam hit me with news that knocked me off my square. In a savage act of senseless and unprovoked violence a life was taken yesterday….a much loved son/brother/husband/father was taken. To make it worse this occurred at his home…while his kids, pregnant wife and other family were in the next room.

He did the simple act of answering the door to his home

The fuck ?

I can’t make sense of this …I can’t express how I feel …so I’m going to let Jus and Snotty of The HighestLow speak for me

Hit the link up top…
