Hip Hop Duo The 49ers are scheduled to perform with Marchitect being a judge in the rap battle.
In the late 90′s and early 2000′s Rise and Shine was slated to be the next group to ride the wave of success from Rawkus Records. This gem of a song, featuring Planet Asia, and The 49ers which went unreleased has resurfaced about 12 years later, and has the lyrical quality that makes it sound like it’s brand new. Check it out here on Yaheard.com
For anyone familiar with the “Battle” scene in the Philadelphia area, they know about Reese. He emerged on the scene a few years back almost out of nowhere at all. In those couple of years, he has performed at every underground venue there is, and released projects consistently building up a nice buzz for himself in the streets. It’s his skills in the lyrical battles, though that has brought him the attention. He recently won a “grind time” battle as Iron Solomon and MadIllz judged and gave him the belt unanimously.
In the spirit of February, a month where people show love, Reese is showing love to his fans by dropping the Dead Red Rose E.P. A concept album with a kick, Dead Rose, is the perfect link to send that girl you hate… or love.

Kool Keith perfomed for the first time in Delaware
Kool Keith blew the roof of of Delaware with his classics like “Ego Trippin”, “BLue Flowers”, “Girl Let Me Touch you There” and more. This show was special, as it was the first time, Kool Keith was rocking in the first state, before flying out to Tampa to do a show for Nike. He brought out all of his personas under one roof, and even delighted the crowd with a 3 and a half minute freestyle to a self produced beat. We will be releasing video, and live audio from the show, but until then here’s a teaser from a classic night of Hip Hop in Delaware.
KOOL KEITH Delaware Freestyle by yaheard
Dj Slice, has decades of mixing under his belt.
Dj Slice is a veteran on the Turntablism Scene. He’s been in battles with the best, and is the first Dj from his native Delaware to be a DMC Finalist. Playing many roles in the Hip-Hop game, he’s provided scratches on hit albums in Japan, he runs a successful recording studio, and has produced hits for Luke, The Two Live Crew, Society, as well as his own group The Soundbwoi Killaz. It is even rumored, that it was his production, that catapulted H-Town to the top of the pop charts, in the early 90′s. Yaheard.com had a chance to sit down with the cut master, and pick his brain on where djaying has been, and where it might go.
What inspired you to become a dj and how long have you been djaying?
Hotep Fam..I have been djing for 32 years (1979) But professionally, I have been holding it down since 1985.After I saw Grandmaster Flash @ The Fever That made me wanna dj. Cash Money and Jazzy Jeff are my other inspirations.
Do you feel that djs make the for the best producers.. if so then why?
I do because they know the music. They spin it..They dig for it. Going back to Mantronik, Marley Marl through to DJ Premier, Pete Rock
How did a dj from Delaware go on to produce classics for Luke, the Two Live Crew, and Society?
I was fortunately in the right place at the right time..I left Delaware because I felt like there was something bigger for me out there and fortunately, It was Miami and that led me to soo many things including the above that you mentioned.
It’s rumored that you produced Knocking the Boots by H- Town please elaborate on this story.
Due to legal ramifications I cannot really comment on that
How does being a turntablist differ, from being a party dj?
A party dj is just that. They rocks a party studies the crowd and their sets planned or unplanned are geared to the crowd in front of them. A battle DJ while they need to play to the crowd need to plan more technical sets within a short time period.Plus your being judged on a bunch of different categories
Recently the Dmcs allowed Serato ( a computer program) to be used in the competition is this true and how do you feel about it?
I personally think they should seperate the vinyl competition from the serato comp and have 2 seperate champions..Not really feeling that a serato/labtop cat can be world champion and he or she is just pushing buttons with lined up routines..
What are three records that have the best breaks to cut up?
The HoneyDrippers “Impeach The President”..James Brown’s “Funky Drummer” and Cerrone’s “Look For Love” (The HeadHunters “God Make Me Funky” is right up there).
Who is the toughest dj you ever faced in competition?
Craze. Simply because he can do everything.
What inspires you to keep coming up with fresh routines after so many djs have thought of so many tricks
Just the creativity of it..The wanting to get the wow out of an audience.
Barring yourself who is the best dj you have seen with your own eyes?
Craze..Cash Money..Jazzy Jeff
Nowadays you produce for the SoundBwoi Killaz out of Philadelphia, where can fans find your music and what do you have coming next?
Fans and supporters can find our music on the following sites:
http://soundbwoirecords.bandcamp.com/album/a-little-wiser
http://www.soundbwoikillaz.com/fr_soundbwoicentral.cfm. We can also be found if you type in SoundBwoi Killaz on Facebook, Twitter and Myspace or even youtube.
We are currently working on a album with our bredren from The Rebel Coalition which will hopefully be done within the next calender year.. Myself & Darian also have solo albums in the works but look for us to get together in 2012 to work on a 3rd SoundBwoi Killaz project.
How does the competition react when they hear your from Delaware?
Fortunately because I am well traveled with a pretty good reputation, I have only been booed once when announced and during a performance. Every other time I have recieved love.
Where do you see turntablism heading in the future?
It’s the digital age and I believe it is going towards the age of the Microwave cat that plays tunes. They may not be dj’s but the programs allow them to play tunes or even like a auto tuner..play the tunes for them. DJing as we know will phase out unless a new resurgence for the love of vinyl and turntables comes back.
When is your next battle and is there anything else you would like to shout out?
I actually am competing in Washington DC @ Nationals Park for Inkfest Nov 20th 2011. Because I won Sneakerfest back in Late Oct I am now also a World Finalist in The WATC DJ Championships in Atlanta Sept 2012 with the defending Champion being Etronik. I also will be opening up for Kool Keith Dec 1st along with a slew of De artists including a group that I cut for.(The 49ers)
My production album is one that will hopefully bring hip hop back to it’s natural essence. Also The Cr8Kickers will be making an assault on The battle scene in 2012 so watch for us. Shout out to everyone who supports the culture and to Native Vibe Entertainment (My Management Team, Hideko Bartell (My Booking Agent) C.O.A.S.T Creative Consulting (My Publicist Team) and Jen Diamond (My Publishing admin)
To find me..Just type in DJSlice.com. There you will find my other social networks not limited to twitter, fb, myspace and many others.
