The 49ers (Marchitect and Jas Mace) released a new song “Mothers Love” right in time for Mothers Day. The exclusive track features Rhyzz with Bell’s smooth vocals on the hook. The track was produced with long time 49ers collaborators ZDW. “Everybody has or had a mother and you only get one, so we just wanted to pay homage to everything our mothers mean to us” said group member Marchitect.
Adam Yauch a.k.a M.C.A from the Beastie Boys has passed away. M.C.A was a founding member of the chart topping group who blended Punk Rock, Hip-Hop, and Heavy Metal to craft party anthems that sold dozens of millions. Yauch had been fighting throat cancer, but it’s still not clear if this was the cause of his passing at age 47. He is survived by a wife and daughter.
Yauch was born an only child in Brooklyn, New York, the son of Frances and Noel Yauch, who is a painter and architect. During his High School years, he taught himself guitar and bass and soon after formed the Beastie Boys. He was only 17 and still attending Edward R. Murrow High School in Brooklyn when they played their first show. He attended Bard College for 2 years before dropping out. Two years later, when Yauch was 22, the Beastie Boys, now performing as a hip hop trio, released their first album Licensed to Ill on Def Jam Records. Licensed to Ill was Columbia Records fastest selling debut, and is the biggest selling Hip-Hop album of the 80s.
MCA directed many of the Beastie Boys videos under the moniker Nathaniel Hornblower. He also directed the 2006 Beastie Boys concert film Awesome; I Fuckin’ Shot That!, though in the DVD extras for the film, the title character in “A Day in the Life of Nathanial Hörnblowér” is played by David Cross. He also directed the 2008 film Gunnin’ For That #1 Spot about eight high school basketball prospects at the Boost Mobile Elite 24 Hoops Classic at Rucker Park in Harlem, New York City.
The Beastie Boys represent and era of music, and were one of the original catalysts to bring Hip-Hop into households all across the world. Their effortless blend of Hip-Hop and Rock, gave their music a light hearted and universal appeal. For as much fun as the Beastie Boys promoted on their classic records like Ill Communication and Pauls Boutique they were also champions of serious causes, like the freedom movement in Tibet. MCA became a vegetarian at the suggestion of Tibetan Monks.
His raspy, signature voice, that is the voice of many different generations, will be missed by ALL music fans. Who doesn’t love the Beastie Boys?

Positive K officially entered The Hip-Hop game in 1986, before some of the chart topping rappers of today were even born. Many might not realize, that rappers such as Pos, were the bridge between the “hat, cat, bat, mat” more party oriented elementary styles of lyrical word play, and the more complex rhyme styles and subject matter that would lead to the Nas’ , Az’s and Big Pun’s. Artists like Grand Puba and his best friend Pos’ the Dapper, would be the conduits of this lyrical evolution. Positive K, not only put his rhymes on wax…He put his STYLE on wax.
The Bronx bred, emcee built his buzz, first as an artist managed by Professor X (Xclan), and next on Mc Lytes “Im Not Havin It’ (a concept of woman vs. player on the same record, which has been duplicated a million times since). It would actually be his updated version of his own theme “I Got A Man” that would catapult him into the pop stratosphere selling 1 million copies with a light hearted classic around the same time most New York artists where being knocked out the box by Gangsta Rap.
Even Though Positive K stayed busy, appearing in movies like Bronx Tale, and making collaborations with a variety of artists (He even appeared on a track with Beavis and Butthead for their album) many people were thinking like Nas (who summoned the Hip-Hop pioneer to appear on the remix to this single “Where are They Now?”) Where Is HE Now?
It turns out Positive K is still releasing Hip-Hop music and videos. It’s not your typical old school guy trying to make a comeback, no comeback needed he’s been here for years. He’s also expanded the Creative Control imprint into comedy, and he’s succeeding in that arena as well. Yaheard.com was lucky enough to catch up with Pos’, from his new homebase of operation..South Carolina… Here’s what he had to say in our 4 part tell all interview.
New Zealand producer Soul Chef, and United States rapper Marchitect have collaborated for a new boom bap driven album titled “Passport”. The album has been a work in progress, and is set to be released in early spring of 2012. Fans of the two, have watched Marchitect release underground classics with The 49ers, like Soulstice and Musaic, while Soul Chef has released a variety of projects on his own Blue Bottle Records. The single “Heater of the Day” (aptly titled) Was featured on Allhiphop.com as the Heater of the Day in 2011. Their song “Too Hot To Handle” was well received instantly among Hip-Hop fans worldwide when they released the video which was shot in East London. “This album will give you the chills, you used to get, when you would buy an album and the beats and rhymes were just way above and beyond…we took our time to make it that way..” said an excited Marchitect.
