New Music: Nitty Scott MC- The Cassette Chronicles

5 04 2011

Nitty just dropped a new street album with Cleveland’s own, DJ Mick Boogie. You can stream it live or download it for free over at DJ Booth.

She will be performing in Michigan later this month at our concert series, SCENE & HEARD, April 27th @ Billy’s Lounge... It is sure to be a classic night.

Jonathan Jelks introduced me to her music and I’m pretty sure I’m in love. This project serves as the official prelude to Scott’s upcoming EP, Boombox Diaries Vol. 1. Here’s, “I Luv My Life”, from The Cassette Chronicles.


We (Tekh Togo, Jelks, and Myself) feel blessed to be able to bring new performers and unique shows to Grand Rapids. April 27th @ Billy’s is going to be another one to remember. Check Nitty’s interview and freestyle on AllHipHop Radio, also featured on The Cassette Chronicles.Damn.

5iveit.

Rick Chyme-ElevenTwentyOhSeven

It was 2007 and my collaboration with The Southpaw Players was becoming more serious. We were offered a show at The Orbit Room on the Night Before Thanksgiving and took it even though we didn’t have a drummer. Soon after Jacob Schaub joined the group and we had been playing some smaller shows any where we could in preparation for our November 21st gig.

I remember I was sick and stressed in the days leading up to the show. This was recorded at about two in the morning following our last rehearsal. If you listen, you can hear me switching between things I had written and freestyles, feeling confident, but also thinking about our unknown futures.

Another memory that comes to mind, is playing this for a group of people following the show and describing how it had been written. We were at a house I was renting, in what would eventually become known as a black mold infested basement studio we had set up. All of the lights were off and people were celebrating, great night.

Click HERE and you can see the first couple songs from the show I’m talking about, just watched myself and am amazed at the vast difference in our performance here compared to our “last show”. Hahaha
