| A-Team Calls It Quits | 2/28/06 |
|  | By: Gully
A-Team is officially, no more. Earlier this month, Ransom (of A-Team fame) dropped a controversial track entitled "The Truth" taking shots at his former partner in rhyme, Hitchcock. The A-Team have been making rounds on the mixtape circuit for years, their popular mixtape series "Hardhood Classics" had gone up to 3 volumes when the split struck this native New Jersey duo. Hitchcock recently caught wind of the new Duffle Bag Ran song taking shots at him and intends to respond due to the fact that people are making it out to look like he quit rap, when he didn't, so expect a response from Hitchcock telling his side of the story very soon. | | | | Subscribe RSS |

Whenever I think about the hip hop hustle no name stands out more in my mind than that of Sage Francis aka Sage Frenchkiss, C.E.O. of Strange Famous records and independent hip hop icon. The Strange Famous Records mogul has been making some moves as of late, updating his website (sagefrancis.net) with audio, video, and a working online store, launching a non-profit (knowmore.org), and furiously signing talented and underexposed hip hop acts to his growing label. The first release from Strange Famous Records in 2006 will be from Reanimator, the man who put in mucho work on the Healthy Distrust LP, followed by the SFR's newest roster member, Prolyphic. Also look for Sage to make an appearance on the new Kool Keith LP this spring. Oh Sage! | | | | Subscribe RSS |

We all know Pittsburgh is going to win the SuperBowl this Sunday. What most of you don't know is that J-Zone's music is going to be featured during a commercial in the second and third quarters of the big game. Captain Backslap created a song for the Sprint Phone Co. called "Cash In The Bank" and a few seconds of the track will appear in their ad this Sunday. It plays when one dude asks the other to play a song on his phone appropriate for having just hit the Lotto. The whole song will be available at the Sprint store soon, and downloadable as a ringtone. | | | | Subscribe RSS |
