You Don’t Know Beans ??

urbnet — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 07:37:57 +0000

This month we help our readers get reacquainted with Beans (of Anti-Pop Consortium fame.) Meeting at a poetry slam night, Beans, High Priest, M. Sayyid and Earl Blaize started working together, releasing singles and mixtapes on Anti-Pop Records. They finally formed as Anti-Pop Consortium in 1997, with the mission statement to create forward-thinking hip hop. There was much rejoicing when they reformed in 2007. As one of the most exciting, creative forces in hip hop, hopefully this reconvening of the collective continues…

Go ahead, drink the Kool-Aid!

urbnet — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 05:30:22 +0000

You know where you are? You’re in the jungle, baby.

D-Sisive returns with his newest creation, Jonestown. The free album is the follow up to his Polaris Long-Listed album ‘Let The Children Die’, which featured the SOCAN/Echo award winning song ‘Nobody With A Notepad’.

“It’s the Kool Aid,” describes D-Sisive of his newest LP. The Juno nominated artist decided to take a break from his dark/depressing content to focus on the “punchline/battle-rap” style he became known for in the late nineties. The album boasts production from heavyweights Muneshine (Sean Price), Moss (Ghostface, Obie Trice), Anonymous Twist (Planet Asia), Murr (LAL, formerly of The Grassroots), Toronto-born/NY-based Marco Polo (Heltah Skeltah, Masta Ace), 9th Uno and Shinogo. Toronto artist Slim Twig (paper bag records) also makes an appearance on the Shinogo produced ‘Around The World’. The Muneshine produced single ‘West Coast’ is already charting across the country.

“It’s a secret,” laughs D-Sisive after asked to explain the connection between the album’s content and it’s title. Jonestown will be released Wednesday, November 18, 2009, also marking the 31st anniversary of the Jonestown Massacre.

D-Sisive:Jonestown is available exclusively through http://www.d-sisive.com/

Welcome to Jonestown.
