The Summer of 2009's BEST Classic Hip-Hop Birthday Party featuring some of Hip-Hop's and R&B's Greatest Classic Artists as they honor one of their own.
Has it really been twenty-five years since I placed a cardboard box onto a hot summer corner block and began breakdancing? Has it really been twenty-five years since I took my God-given Afro and had it processed by man-made chemicals and called it Jheri-Curls. Is it really twenty-five years since I popped the lenses out of my Cazel glasses and put fat laces in my Adidas? I can’t believe that twenty-five years ago I had the biggest rap song in the country, Kangol hat sales hit the roof, and every girl had a nameplate belt buckle that simply said, “Roxanne”.
"So Supreme" To Be Lead Single Off Forthcoming Oddisee-Produced Album
California bred emcee Trek Life is excited to announce the release of his latest album, Everything Changed Nothing. Produced entirely by Oddisee, the album will be released July 27th via Mello Music Group.
The album is the culmination of years of collaboration between Trek and producer Oddisee that began with the remixes of Price I've Paid, Trek's debut LP. Undaunted by the thousands of miles separating them, the pair have crafted yet another example of how a producer and an artist with the right chemistry can maintain a winning streak. "We both knew exactly what we were trying to do from the beginning," explains Trek. "Oddisee is a producer in every sense of the world. He had a direction and it was my job to manifest it lyrically." Oddisee's sonic backdrop invoked a verbal assault from Trek that remains raw, and unapologetic throughout the album as Trek sheds light on the "ugly nature of the world" with his gritty but poignant lyricism.
