[Mixtape] DJ M-Rock – The Best of Notorious B.I.G.
Still miss Big Poppa. It’s the Brooklyn in me. So, M-Rock, take it away….
“I’m pleased to drop this brand new Best of Biggie for all his fans. On top of that, I’m happy I made the march 9th death anniversary deadline. Long story short, I was working on another Valentine’s tape because the first was so well-received, and then Cabbie said I should really do a March 9th BIG tape. It made sense because it’s been long overdue and the timing. That was it, my RNB tape had to get pushed back. Take an hour and a half and let the funk sit in. Enjoy.”
Shout to all my peoples in Fort Greene, Clinton Hill, Red Hook, Gowanus, Carroll Gardens and Bed-Stuy. Brooklyn, we still doin’ it!!!
[CONTEST] Win Tickets to the Brooklyn Boheme Toronto Film Screening + Q&A with Nelson George
As a former, looong time Brooklyn resident, you know I have to support this!
Fresh off the successful launch of films such as the Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry biopic: The Upsetter and The Last Poets: Made in Amerikkka, Undercurrents is proud to present Brooklyn Boheme on Friday, December 9 at the Toronto Underground Cinema. Brooklyn Boheme marks our third and final film presentation for 2011.
Joining us at the event for a Q&A session will be cultural critic, director, and author Nelson George, who also serves as narrator and producer of the film. The film takes a historical and contemporary look at the Fort Greene & Clinton Hill areas of Brooklyn, chronicling it’s culture, influence, and arts movement in what some have deemed to be the second renaissance movement in New York City.
Copies of Nelson’s latest novel, The Plot Against Hip-Hop will be available for purchase on-site via A Different Booklist. [ed note: I like this name!!!]
There will also be a short visual presentation to start the event provided by Mark ‘Kurupt’ Stoddart, visual communicator and owner of Live It Wear It.
