Boomdizzle - LL's Virtual Recording Studio LL has jumped onto the technology train too but you'll be happy to hear it's not a new line of headphones...much more interestingly, he's revealed that his new venture, known as Boomdizzle, essentially consists in a Virtual Recording Studio accessible through a web-based application from anywhere in the world. This means that if you're in New York and your producer is in Miami, you can still work together on your track(s) in real-time!

The software launches soon but will be by invitation only to start with. If you want to know more about the service, check out the official site www.boomdizzle.com. Posted by Calibro at 09:13 0 comments Labels: boomdizzle, ll cool j, llcoolj


Why Did Gang Starr Split Up? Why did Gang Starr split up? A lot of Hip Hop heads from the late 80s and 90s are probably still wondering why one of the best Hip Hop groups ever ended up feuding and eventually splitting up to the great disappointment of the Hip Hop community. The real reasons have never been fully disclosed (will they ever?) but Gang Starr affiliate and close friend of Guru has decided to speak his peace on the issue and he blames the split on drugs, theft, ego and porn beats!

Check the video below courtesy of Forbez DVD which will soon release 'Breakup of the Chain & Starr' - an entire documentary dedicated to the break up of Gang Starr. Posted by Calibro at 17:38 2 comments Labels: dj premier, djpremier, gang starr, gangstarr, guru

Saigon "Warning Shots 3" Mixtape Trailer Saigon released a short trailer to his upcoming mixtape 'Warning Shots 3' scheduled to drop January 24th and executive produced by his loyal supporter Just Blaze. We're looking forward to this tape, it should be a banger if it sounds anything like 'The Greatest Story Never Told' which as far as we're concerned was one the best releases of 2011!
