Another Buddy Bounces....

Peace Romen Rok (& Pam!), hope Brooklyn, NY does good for you....
We'll miss yall.... (See you next month though, maybe...)
Ehyo, Providence, yall don't have much left around the way, yall see that?
Some of their closest colleagues bid farewell to them Saturday night at Blake's....
This camera is so much worse than the one I had previous. I want my flash back, yo....

As in typical Romen Rok fashion, there was a huge food spread.... I got down with a pork and mac-n-cheese sammich... That's healthy, B!

This camera f*ckin sucks yo.....

Saw a lotta people I don't see so regularly anymore. Guess that happens when you continue to get older and gain more responsibility in life...Unless of course you refuse to grow old and don't obtain much to be responsible for.... Peter Pansy's a funny guy.

We got a great deal of ish to make happen this month, the shortest month of the year. Here's to trying to do that and not lose focus of our normal everyday dealings.... We'll speak more on alla this in February....

Until then, squeeze.

Winter Weekend Wild Out 2011....

Ya know, for a while I been hearin' about these "shows" taking place in people's homes up in Boston (Allston specifically)....I thought it was a sh!t idea that was only assisting the powers that be in getting those who don't play ball out of the local circuit loop. Esh even told me he attended one of these "in-house shows" where as friends of ours from outta state stopped through someone's living room amidst their tour (That's taking advantage of some downtime IF? I ever heard)....
So last night Esh and I headed like 4 blocks from his crib to the Fameless Fam resting place where cats we've met along the way were set to wreck shop inside a residence and not a club....Most noteably, our fams Moe Pope, Rain, and Chris....
What at first to me seemed like something I was far too old to attend turned out to be one of the best times I've had in a while (or at least so far this year)... Seriously, I can watch valid artists in Boston rock live at a place with no entry fee, can actually bring 40s to, and smoke all the tree I want at? Word? Say it ain't so, clear channel...

Big ups to Anonymous (Project Move), Falside, DJ Emoh Betta, & A Ronious....
Big ups to Esh, who was so smashed he didn't fight back when I was whipping snow balls at his dome during the walk home where he walked straight into the crib and puked for a few hours before falling out on the bathroom floor.


The picture blurred but definitely captured the essense of our tainted vision during our departure... I woulda needed video to fully share the inability of my good friend not being able to walk (in the snow even!)...
Now THAT'S a party.... Word.
See you Wednesday in Newport, RI weather permitting (IF? there is a show, yall should go. It's Esh's B Day on the 25th....)

Next Week For You.....

Get ya hump day on with we and Dirty Durdie next Wednesday down in good 'ole Newport, RI.
I plan on rockin' strictly material from "St.ART" to "commemorate the ten year" and you know Esh'll be breakin' newness out the box like that.... We ain't done the local thing in a hot minute, come check what ya mans are doing nowadays with a likkle waltz down Route 24 to NewPeezy, Rhode Easy.....
Peacey Weace.

PS: Anyone says anything foul about my Orangemen losing to Pitt (Shitt) last night (Ending an 18 - 0 season St.ART) is getting open handed smacked in the face. Period. See you Villanova pieces of trash Saturday morning....

Another PS: "The Dougy". Ah man, American journalism world, you are not properly crediting what some are emulating fast motion like.... Point blank, yall remember Dougie Fresh's video for "Keep Rising to the Top"? Remember Doug Fresh's neat little slick the head turn dance? Yeah, some of ya favorite sports heroes remember too, problem is, when they whipped it out and referenced what they were doing it ended up lost in American journalism translation.... My gosh, people.... Please take a moment to peep ya mans C. Webb, EJ & Chuck demonstrating the proper Doug Fresh aka "Dougie" for you and yours at like 2AM (EST):



Another, Other PS: I'm full of sh!t. There really is some new skool bullsh!t called "The Dougie"... Watch said dance and tell me that ain't the biggest bite off of the "Keep Risin' to the Top" video butters demonstrated by one Doug Fresh, yeahhhhh..... Commercial success is stupidity widespread amongst the general populous. Keep it stupid, simple.

CasUno Top 5 Releases of 2010

This was harder than last year to compose.....
I don't know, Hip Hop, ya kinda last leggin' sellin' tangible product and quality releases to hold and to cherish....From this day forth....Yadadada.... I don't wanna be a "I used to love her" type....
I know we released newness to yall fiends out there this past year and show no signs of not being committed to continuing to do what we do....
Anyhow, my top fever is even more unorthodox than last year....
Here they are in no particular order:

This left field banger caught us by surprise. I'd put people onto Boy Sand's sh!t and they'd turn instant fan. His guest shots on other people's sh!t been ridiculous.... I hope this cat can continue to feed we in the same impacting manor this release did....

Best record I bought all last year (I will say that much!)....Won't go too deep cause we are, after all, friends with Moe, Rain, & Chris.... I dare you to pick a more consistent record from last year. In fact, I dare you to listen to this record from beginning to end and not love it.... End of story. Look out for the remix rendition of this album and Moe and Rain's future collab works with we here and there....

It's tough to keep up with artists that release series joints every month and have like 100 different alter egos in which they release music under....I made it a point to purchase this volume of the Medicine Show releases and wasn't disappointed in the least. I imagine all the other episodes are equally frESH, but this one hit home for ya man right here....

The next two are a tie in my book for a couple of reasons. One project I got far too much insight upon by watching and being a part of recording and putting together, the other is a release from yet another cat I know a likkle something who released an overpriced EP at the very end of the year and ended up sounding better than most of the few records released in 2010....

Whole lotta Esh production on that Romen record yo.... I think we told you that before... Plus Romen's pretty much fam-at-large like that, and yall know I don't cheer lead in public (lol). Robust's joint is a good ass listen. He fronted on the beats for "SOLAST" he was supposed to send and this EP cost like $15 for a CDR in a really poorly printed cover sleeve, but that ish been sold out since it dropped late 2010... That deserves a made mention fa' sho'....

The last of my list is yet another tie. Difference than the above mentioned records, I did not buy either in physical form. So these are download jawns I caught from Ink, the man who owns every record no matter how he has to obtain them....

The Dres jawn caught me off guard. I got the opportUNITY to peep some of this material when he rocked Providence a while back. We actually got to meet him and talk a bit and he's a really good guy, man.... This record had some strong jewels and a Native Tongue reunion collabo IF? ya slept... The Celph & BuckWild ish just wigs me out. As much as I do not support Celph, Ap, or any DemiGod ish, I found this record to be quite listenable. Even got joints on there. I just don't want the new trend to be like, "Yo, just got me some 1992 E Swift beats to make a record with son!"... I'm sayin' elder aged shorty-wop, let the 90s go already!!! Good idea and all, but this just further proves we aren't letting go of the supposed "Golden Age" of rap and making way for a potentially new one. Sorry. I'm that purist I suppose.

Dear Hip hop, please feel better this year. We're all pulling for you.
I hope I get the opportUNITY to do this again next year, but with the current state of affairs regarding released music, I'd say there's always a chance that it might not....

Yo, peep my son's shirt right quick:

"Pain in the ass, he is....."

The good folks over at UrbNet in Canada have chosen to make ya man right here a featured artist based upon the review written on their site for "SOLAST"... Peep HERE

Be Back Later.....

Peace.

We Keep Comin' Back With More & More....

The concept of Labeless Illtelligence has just turned 10 years old. Let it be understood that every aspect of direct/indirect inclusion, support, participation, and continuation cannot be attributed to one sole entity, but every and all persons who assisted in what exists today & hopefully will exist for years to come...

Through the additions of entities who helped maintain longevity and the casualties of fallen friendship, a catalog of deserved releases and never-the-same-show twice performance marks the years of 2001 through our now 2011.... The road wasn't without hazard & the appreciation isn't always obvious and apparent, but we've sustained a dedication of expression & presentation initially instated at the inception of Illtelligent Wreckkidz....

Thank you for your support and lack there of...

The above cover pic contains a link to our entire 2001 release in high quality MP3 courtesy ala Legacy Pending Music (Available until the end of the month only!!!) . Yall should definitely check out Gibran's site as he is in depth celebrating the 10 year anniversary of said debut.... Here's the rest of 10 years worth of Labeless in chronological order...







Maybe a trip down memory lane for the month? Lahd knows we got some serious catch up to play. Top 5 releases of 2010, upcoming shows, potential releases, press.... Speaking of press, big ups to Thomas Quinlan over at Urbnet for the REVIEW.

Peace (of mind). Happy 2011....
