THE PROOF

Top 5 Dead or Alive

2011-09-07T10:44:00.000-07:00

So I've been waiting to do this for a while now. Above is 15 emcee's that some would consider the best doing it. Out of those 15, I have 5 that I would consider the best to ever do it. Someone mentioned Nas was missing... (crickets)... chyeaaaaaaaaa Am's not a Nas fan. Anyways as the weeks go by and I get closer and closer to Amday, (my birthday which I celebrate in some fun and hilarious way each year) Sept, 28th, I'm going to eliminate people to reveal my remaining top 5. As we get down to the final 5 I will release a mix of music from that artist to support my arguement. The elimination begins September 17th.

Here is the first single off ¥€$ Vol.1 FreEP, "Cross Me".

Nex Millen and Poesh Wonder are NXPW. NXPW have been working together since 2006 on Poesh Wonder's "Like This-The Album" and 2007's "No You Haven't And You Never Will Again." This led to more stellar collaborations - "Friday Night," "Check This Sound," and "Troop Song". After noticing the popularity of their songs together, Poesh and Millen decided to begin work on a full album together. NXPW "The Doctrine". The timeless music created for "The Doctrine" is a word for word, beat for beat ode to the culture. Demonstrating that it's more to hip hop culture than just stardom. The culture of Hip Hop represents family and community, peace and tranquility. And most of all being in harmony with one another. NXPW speak on this, trading verses and tracks back and forth in a Jaylib type style. These two hip hop officinatos are putting it down for the generations. NXPW lead off single is "Get Me One" and "Get Me One" Remix featuring 2ew Gunn Ciz and Zilla Rocca of 5 o'clock Shadowboxers. Available Here. Purchase the Limited Edition CD with bonus tracks a portion of the proceeds will be donated to "The Save The Children Organization" For more info on NXPW contact: http://reverbnation.com/nexmillen http://reverbnat ion.com/poeshwonder

Don't be Afraid to Dream Big!

2010-09-24T12:10:00.000-07:00

Dreams are a form of escape where you can go anywhere, be anything, and achieve anything. All dreams have a starting point and can be molded by the mind's eye of the Dreamer. Dreams are meant to be the fire that moves you forward in life. Drive, hard work, and persistence are qualities a dreamer uses to improve his/her reality. In 2009 the proper ground work was being constructed by Gilbere Forte' and his camp to put him into a position for success. Starting with a flurry of freestyles that put the world on notice before culminating in the release of "87 Dreams" 2010 has been developing into Mr. Forte's year. Gilbere’s dreams start at the 1st floor before becoming a reality on his way to the top. Let him make you feel inspired to WAKE UP and move to what moves you with "1st Floor" feat. Freelance Whales. Remember, the day is young and it is never too late to set your dreams in motion.

Pacquiao is Suing Mayweather?

2009-12-31T02:25:00.000-08:00

Apparently, Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao is suing Floyd "Money" Mayweather for defamation of character. This $75,000 suit was filed after Mayweather camp demanded that [Pacman] be required to take a drug test for performance enhancing drugs. O word?

Now on one hand I'm like, "Just take the test and get it over with!". Then on the other hand I'm like, "Wow, did Mayweather just say son is juicing on some smooth shit"? Then I was like, "This is some bullshit".

After all is said and done the boxing world wants the fight and should get it by sometime in 2010.

Since Slum Villiage's Trinity album (2002) came out I been listening to Elzhi body beats with razor-sharp delivery, vivid metaphors and ill multi-patterned rhyme schemes. Since then Elzhi has dropped a ton of material. Mixtapes and all kinds of extra s**t.

Chill Moody- Don't Fade Away

2009-12-21T00:43:00.000-08:00

This West Philly emcee is by far the illest new talent I've heard in mad long. Armed with ill production provided by Hank McCoy, Ill Mill & Antman Wonder, Chill glides over champion beats with much ease. It's a breath of fresh air after being trapped under "unlistenable" mixtapes wheezing for some original content.

The thing that really got us at The Proof is: Son is 24! AND his core-crew are all his blood relatives! (Got me thinking about Juggaknots) To anyone my age and above who would call themselves a "Hip Hop Head" might condemn the current generation to the Gucci Mane/Soulja Boy demographic. Nah b....Chill and The EST crew are living proof that Hip Hop is alive and well in this era.

His latest Mixtape: The Ill Chill Project is available for free download HERE. Go download that. You'll hear and see much more from Chill Moody AND The EST via Living Proof Radio in early 2010. In the mean time just chill.

-LPR Mars

So we be on the radio and shit...
