So Fresh and So Clean...

What it is? As you may have noticed, there is a new sleeker and cleaner look to Da 9 to 5rz. Well I decided we should clean up things a little bit and jump fresh so to speak. But don't worry we still gone bring that real uncut truth, in all forms of hip hop music, fashion, arts, and culture. As well as keep you posted on the latest trends and cutting edge technology. Like they say, as times evolves so must we, therefore, as I said earlier don't worry, nothing has changed but the design. We still have the same motivation behind our reasoning for doing what we do here at Da 9 to 5rz and hope that you still have the same motivation to keep bringing fresh ideas and music to our table. Well hope you enjoy the new look. From the good people at Da 9 to 5rz.

EXODUS

I came across this AlexanderLehmann short called EXODUS which was also the title for a song released by Netherlands producer NOISIA it features Mayhem and KRS-1. Now AlexanderLehmann is a film producer out of Holland and he used this short for his thesis in film school. It took him 3 years to create this film and eventually like I said earlier, it was lifted and used for the NOISIA project bearing the same name. Well 'nuf said go take a look and enjoy some real dope new age technological hip hop...

Random Record Beat Challenge Day 1...

O.K. y'all here's the bizness, you see yesterday I put a tweet on twitter to HPdaHybrid outta Dayton Ohio aka the Buckeye State for those college football fans out there. Anyway, I told him and the rest of my followers that I was gonna walk into my studio and just randomly pick up a record and flip every song on that joint. So needless to say this is what took place next.. check the video... I am gonna give my self 20 days to flip all 10 songs on the album. Now that is a song every 2 days with a day in between due to the fact I am filming this as it goes down. Plus I do have to go to work!!! Hence the name 9 to 5rz... Well anyway peep the video... to see what album I will be working with...

Say Hello to The Fresh Maker....

Today we bring to you a very talented beatsmith out of Virginia who goes by the name Joe Burn'em and Burn'em is an understatement. The dude has fire, I am talking FLAME ON!! Well anyways, I been checking the Joe Burn'em sound for a while and remember first coming across this cat on myspace. And, he seems to have gotten better as time moved on. You see, some people have it and some people don't and honestly Joe Burn'em has it. Now understand this, I consider myself to have a good ear for music and I definitely like to hear good music. And, I never am disapointed when I come across a Joe Burn'em track. Burn'em seems to have a passion at what he does, and it shows in his music.

Ok I think I have done enough talking now let's get to the music, here is "Hello Morning" by the Black Vulcan aka Joe Burn'em ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Roll it up my Homeboy Roll it up!!!!

I was just thinking to myself the other day why does every rapper nowadays talk about how much weight they moving on the block? It seems like the prerequisite to being a successful artist is to be a even more successful drug dealer. I grew up in and around that environment and I will leave it at that, no need for me to go into details the things I have done and saw, but it is safe to say I wasn't the person you have come to know and adore so much. Now with that said, let us move on.. As I was saying the music today is so hellbent on destroying our next generation that I often wonder am I going to be like those old people when I got into hip hop who was like "You need to turn that damn NOISE off!!" Yes people hip hop is in a very sad state of affairs right now. Overstand me now, see I listen to a lot of music and I enjoy various artists and yes I will admit and proudly say that I have every "C-Bo" CD. But I also understand that unlike many of these studio created crack dealers "C-Bo" really did what he raps about so I can't front or bang on him to hard.. However I see a trend with these new rappers out there trying to make a name in the game so to speak. They are quick to rhyme about their hood, their block, the homies who they run with factual and fictional and I say to myself when was it cool to openly broadcast illicit activities out loud?? (sounds like snitchin' to me) I also remember when hip hop artist looked down on drug use and black on black violence. That's the hip hop I remember.. Songs like "Night of the living baseheads" by P.E. or "Sometimes I rhyme slow" by Nice and Smooth that verse by Smooth B was ill. Even Slick Rick the Ruler sparred a verse in there on the classic "Hey Young World" where he says "And if you smoke crack, ya kids will smoke crack tomorrow" But that was a different era a time when music was conscious and lyricism meant everything for an emcee. Now with the microwave society it's not even about dope lyrics anymore. All required is a Tight Beat, a Gangsta Image, Bible verse Tattoos, and a couple of Arrests. And you too can be the next 20 minute megastar in the hip hop rap race. That's why when I see these disposable rappers who front like they so successful at getting that pack off. I think wow if the dope game was that good why you wanna be a rapper?? and if the block is that booming where do you find the time to be in a studio recording all damn day?? Honestly duke come on' be for real with ya self for once in ya life.. On the really real you need to roll it up my homeboy..
Now let me bring back a oldie but goodie for y'all ATL's finest "Success N Effect Roll it up my homeboy....
