Mixxtape Mondays (show 11)

What happenin peeps? Well, it was another night of high energy performances  at mixxtape mondays. There was a new-comer who tore it up and her name is Boogalou (some rappers may know her from the High Pointe back in the days). There was alot of networking going on and phone numbers being exchanged. So, with all that said this week's braggin rights go to Boogalou, PK Da Don Lady and Rosegoldman.

Big SHOUT-OUT to PK DA Don Lady for rippin it as usual as she performed a song titled "Hour Glass". Big SHOUT-OUT to The Cream Team Paper Boyz for comin with the hood anthem "Playoffs". Big SHOUT-OUT to The Amp Squad for keepin it amp during their show.
Big SHOUT-OUT to DayDay, a Next Level Music Group artist, who just back in town from Cali. Big SHOUT-OUT to The Commission for reppin the northside. Big SHOUT-OUT to Tenacious Da Terrist for puttin it down for U-City. Big SHOUT-OUT to Chocolate Tai for performing her soon to be hit "Candy Land".

The freestyle session was off the chain as many katz took their turn at spittin from the top of the dome. There was only one female rapper who got in on the action and she tore it up...her name Boogalou. The judges had a tuff time picking the top 3 freestylers so there was a rap-off between the top 4 going 2minutes a piece at each other. The top three ended up being B-Magic, Boogalou and T-Dub. Remember that the "Kings of The City" is comin up which will feature some of STL's hottest male rappers. See y'all there, peace.

Mixxtape Mondays (show 9)

Welcome back to another edition of mixxtape  mondays (show 9) at club escalade. As you looked out of the windows of the club, the snowflakes glistened as they fell to the ground which accumulated to 4 or 5 inches. The place wasn't a full house of course because of the weather but it was a real nice crowd. And for all the people who did come out thanks for your support! Okay, this week's braggin rights go to NuSynce, Lil Ace and G-Side.

All of the artists seemed more relaxed than usual last night , I guess because the competition was not as intense but more competitive in a party type of way. The drinks were off da chain, the sound system was bangin, networking was taking place, phone numbers were being exchanged and the crowd was enjoyin the vybe and partied right along with the performances.

TV Rush : Hiphop in northside St. Louis

This is a hiphop track called TV Rush from the Track Vandals. Hiphop lives yall....................♫

SuperHigh - TRACK VANDALS feat. Gilla 2 $TACK$

The following is a skit and music video featuring GILLA 2 $STACK$ of the Track Vandals ('94 and forever hiphop group). TeamWoodFarms is the company sponsoring the various projects in association with Point Blank Entertainment, LLC. TeamWoodFarms (TWF) is spearheaded by an executive investor out in northern California who appreciates the hard work and effort these guys(TWF) put into their projects with limited consumer equipment.

The main goal of the Track Vandals is to take advantage of the avenues of opportunity and give their music more exposure to a social networking audience in a visually appealing way.
We don't have the big professional video camera with light kit or an expensive $2,000+ video edit system like Apple Final Cut Pro 7 or Adobe Premiere Pro.....we have a regular consumer camcorder.
With an over saturated music and internet market competition is all over the place so TWF and PointBlank try to produce product that will stand out from the rest. We are thankful for what we have and we use what we do have to get what we need done. The ability to use your creative God given mind is one of the greatest freedoms a person can ever experience!

Mixxtape Mondays (show 8)

What's happenin St.Louis and all other visitors? Well, it was another jump off at mixxtape mondays yall. Next Level Music Group is really giving these artists a platform for exposure and a chance to showcase their talent. This is one the few venues that does NOT charge artists a performance fee. And last night the talent came out of the wood work! This week's braggin rights go to D-Boy, Buck Marley and Tas2.

Suave Tre kept the show runnin smooth while dj Boogie Corleone gave a few artist some constructive criticism in a good way. I think some performers need a constructive critique to make themselves aware of their stage presence. It takes practice, planning and preparation to take the music and the stage performance to the next level. The music industry is a VERY competive industry and everybody does it nowadays. Can you stand out from the rest? 

BIGGUP to the freestyle session and to all the participants! Sometimes an artist just has to cut away from the format and let loose and vent, know whutImean. BIGGUP to comedian Lil Roc (pic below) who got on the mic and put down an ol' skool OG freestyle with cocktail in hand. 

He got caught up in the moment, the vybe of the crowd and the strong of the drink..................dude was in a zone. BIGGUP to Mack Shawn from Mack Dinero Music Group for flowin that U-City OG pimpin gangsta.

Hey yo fam, there is a special mixxtape monday on February 22 themed, "Queens of the City", featuring some of St.Louis's hottest female rap artists with HOT 104.1FM on-air personality Staci Static to host the event. Look forward to seeing yall there at that historic groundbreaking undaground show!

Big SHOUT-OUT to Rosegoldman for puttin it down "big-dude" style. Big SHOUT-OUT to Lucky Lucci who had mad energy. Big SHOUT-OUT to WhiteSide for their gangsta beats and for rappin their northside anthem. Big SHOUT-OUT to the Amp Squad for thrashin in it up hood style.
