Ms Stylez & Bullet Present - Home Alone Mixtape!







BULLET LINKS WITH MS STYLEZ FOR HOME ALONE MIXTAPE

Chicago lyricist Bullet has joined forces with Sirius XM Shade 45 DJ Mz Stylez for his Summer mixtape smash HOME ALONE. Featuring production from Cool Kids Chuck Inglish, Christian Rich and Slot-A, Bullet once again reaffirms his place in the Hip-Hop hierarchy with this 16 track opus. After releasing his recent single Mr Robotic, fans have been eagerly waiting the release of HOME ALONE which within an hour of its release had secured over 1,000 downloads.

Opening the ears of folks all over the world Bullet, with his constant barrage of free downloads and random freestyles, continues to develop undying support through social networking sites such as Twitter and Myspace. Sponsored by ThatsHipHop.com, SimplyStylez.com and Sirius XM, it is apparent that HOME ALONE is a project to satiate the appetites of fans while Bullet preps his Mr Robotic EP which is slated for release later this year.

"The way this project came together was perfect timing! I had a bunch of records sitting on my laptop and i went back to a bunch of sites and blogs that had my records posted and i figured hey why not just put these together along with some new songs and make a tape," the self proclaimed martian explains. "Having Mz.Stylez a part of the project was awesome because she doesn't get behind just anything. This is my second free project which I worked on to maintain the attention of all the fans and I am hoping that they enjoy it as much as we did making it."

"It was an ill experience working with Bullet, the energy was ridiculous, the music refreshing, a definite good look." - Ms. Stylez

The Physics Drop - High Society EP!






Two years after the release of their critically lauded full length debut, Future Talk, Seattle-based hip hop group The Physics are back with June 2009’s release of High Society, an eight track EP of new material representing a natural progression both musically and personally. Steeped heavily in references to jazz and soul, Just D’Amato’s production (alongside Phee Dill & Dyalect) provides the smoothed-out backdrop against which lyricists Thig Natural and Monk Wordsmith (absent from Future Talk but a notable presence here) do their thing and do it with skill. Featuring guest appearances by beastly Seattle MCs Language Arts (“Back Track”) and Macklemore (“Good”) as well as one of the year’s most buzzed about local duos, the fresh-as-all-hell females of Thee Satisfaction (“Radio Head”), High Society dims the lights on the laidback aesthetic established in Future Talk and invites the listener to get real grown—and enjoy it. While this EP may feel like a main course, don’t get it twisted: it’s merely just a taste of what’s to come, a prelude to an additional as-yet-untitled release slated for later in the summer.

This Kat is Phat!





He's worked with the greats of REAL Hip-Hop, Dilla, Black Milk, Slum Village among others. He's a veteran in the game but, I'm guessing you haven't heard of him. That's beacuse Hip-Hop is now a world of commercialised, money-grabbing, same style garbage. This Kat has been in the game for a LONG time he's a legend.
It's a great honour for me to introduce you to Phat Kat AKA Ronnie Cash...


HipHopInformant: You’ve been described as a Pioneer of the Detroit Hip-Hop scene. How has Hip-Hop changed in Detroit over the years and do you think it’s as strong as it is now as it was back in the day?

Phat Kat: That's a blessing, well the way that its changed is that most of the younger Kats are content with following trends instead of setting trends, and no it’s not as strong as it was back when we were blazing trails because it was more unified the hip-hop shop was like a fraternity and your metal had to be tested to join.

HipHopInformant: What are your views on the Hip-Hop industry at this moment- do you think commercialised or novelty Hip-Hop is destroying REAL Hip-Hop?

Phat Kat: It’s really sad, I believe you have to have the commercialised garbage to distinguish the two but the playing field needs to be balanced and that what’s missing.

HipHopInformant: Are there any underground artists that you would like to work with in the future?

Phat Kat: I’m open to work with anybody that’s making good music.

HipHopInformant: Does your music have a message, If so what is that message?

Phat Kat: Yes it does it has everyday jewels that’s hidden inside my songs and the main message is that we all should take responsibility for our actions...

HipHopInformant: You’ve been involved with Hip-Hop for a number of years, how long exactly?

Phat Kat: 20 years in the game and still Sharpe with the lines I spank lil niggaz and send them home crying to they mom lol...

HipHopInformant: Where did the name Phat Kat come from?

Phat Kat: It all started back in high school because I always kept cash and had whips so my homies began calling me phat kat and the name just stuck....

HipHopInformant: Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?

Phat Kat: Chillin on somebody’s beach sipping a Ronnie apple seed...

HipHopInformant: Does Detroit influence your style/swagger?

Phat Kat: Yes Detroit created a monster lol...

HipHopInformant: If people haven’t heard you rhyme before, how would you describe your sound to them?

Phat Kat: Tenacious\aggressive ....

HipHopInformant: What is your definition of REAL Hip-Hop?

Phat Kat: PHAT KAT AKA RONNIE CASH....

HipHopInformant: Has there ever been a really LIVE audience that respond really well to your music?

Phat Kat: Hell yes London fanz, Paris fanz, are the most livest...

HipHopInformant: Finally, what does the future hold for you?

Phat Kat: New projects such as my new album titled KATAKOMBZ AND THE COLD STEEL ALBUM WITH ELZHI also I WILL BE RELEASING THE DEDICATION TO THE SUCKERS 10 YEAR ANNIVERSERY JOINT WITH A DVD EXPLAINING THE PROCESS IT TOOK TO CREATE THAT CLASSIC EP WITH DILLA....
