2MEX x MaiSelph x Flown broadcasting live from ‘Breakbeats & Rhymes’ during daylight savings? Huh?..Each year during that manufactured time change, we lose half the show. Time shifts from 2AM to 3AM, which leaves us with only 1 hour. Call it a sign from the Gods or just plain old coincidence, this was the night 2MEX x MaiSelph were to debut music from their album ‘Like Farther Like Sun’ which somewhat defines a change in time or shift in conciseness. Whatever it was, it’ was a the perfect time for this ‘farther, sun’ combo to bless the airwaves.
2MEX dropped some personal gems, which included a story during DJ Rob One’s funeral, where Rakaa Iriscience placed a copy of the cassette tape, Dilated Peoples ‘The Platform’ in Rob One’s casket. That’s pretty incredible, and symbolically — it tells you a lot. Oh, he also dropped some gems on driving around the Fugees and Big L throughout Los Angeles….now that’s a hiphop story!
Soul King broadcasting live from ‘Breakbeats & Rhymes’ with, ‘intellectual violence.’ I was originally introduced to the Barber Shop MC ‘SK’ by DJ Resident a few years. Resident was like, ‘yo you gotta get Soul King on the show son!’ Since then, we’ve had SK a few times; and each session has been food for thought, word up.
During our interview with Soul King, we played a joint live on air which called ‘The Wop.’ It’s definitely a Breakbeats & Rhymes favorite. We also shot a video for the track in which the hook repeats – ‘I represent intellectual violence, I represent intellectual violence, I represent intellectual violence.’ Peace to Soul king, and Tabernacle God Born Allah for blessing another session of ‘Breakbeats & Rhymes.’
Immortal Technique broadcasting live from ‘Breakbeats & Rhymes’ during the middle passage. We recently had Lord Finesse on the show. We talked about rappers who’ve established ‘cult’ followings as independent artists. Immortal Technique was 1 of 3 names mentioned by Finesse in pure admiration.
Immortal Technique is globally known for his ‘self described,’ revolutionary music. It’s a signature sound that’s naturally transformed him from rapper to leader. No matter where you travel on planet earth, you will have your hardcore Immortal Technique heads.
Technique is also part creating the Amin Institute; an orphanage, medical and learning facility for the children Afghanistan. That’s amazing — and truly Revolutionary.
Reverie Reverie is in transition from being an LA artist — to becoming one of the voices of this generation. Rev’s music radiates a personal journey that seems to naturally connect with her audience. ‘The Transition’ is the latest release and it has lots of honest material that will allow you to drift the mind of Reverie. The hustle is on point and the brand is building stronger each day. Artists who are self-sufficient, confident and active will stay in the game. That’s what Reverie is.
Ah one last thing — Don’t tell Reverie she’s good for a female MC, that’s that sh*t she don’t like! Also check out
