I laughed, took the sample, fired up my MPC and the beat that came out was NYC to the fullest (thanks Marco). I called up H. Stax, Panchi, and Noyd and we recorded the song in Brooklyn. I then went back to the lab, laid down some cuts on the hook--and the result….. "Triboro Thoro.”
DJ Skizz’s B.Q.E. (Brooklyn-Queens Experience) will be released on 6-23-2013.

R-Mean - Open Wounds (Feat. Soseh)
"Los Angeles-born, overtly-Armenian rapper R-Mean is bringing word of his mountainous ancestral republic to one of our biggest cultural expressions of all; Hip-Hop! Dedicated to the 98th Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, on 4-1-2013 R-Mean released the music video to "Open Wounds" on Pentagon Records; the documentary like political video is dedicated to the Armenian Genocide of 1915. With bone chilling visuals and a humble performance by R-Mean, the video promotes hope and awareness in recognition of the Armenian Genocide.
In just 24-days, the official video for "Open Wounds'” has received over 246k views on YouTube (the Video was released on April 1st) and loyal fans were so touched by the lyrics to “Open Wounds” that they tattooed them on arms and chests.
Also, The Game posted a picture of him wearing the "Open Wounds 1915” T-Shirt on all his social media networks on April 24, building awareness through his followers about the Armenian Genocide
One of the most influential hip hop hosts Sway & Tech and DJ Revolution interviewed R-Mean about the "Open Wounds" song and video, on SiriusXM radio station SHADE45, on “The Wakeup Show.” They proceeded to play the song following the interview.
Juice Aleem - MoorKaBa Light Bikes
A man who refuses to be singled down in content, delivery or musical style Juice Aleem remains one of hip hops most innovative and skilled artists. His rhymes may drop knowledge or have you cackling but no matter what he will always freak the beat and give your hips motivation to move.
The Black Opera - Queen of Hearts (Feat. Mayer Hawthorne)
The Black Opera's latest Video Demonstration "Queen Of Hearts" is here. TBO and director Andy Madeleine tell the visual story of a K U E E N in search of fulfillment in life. TBOGs Nokbai and Sensu provide a colorful backdrop to the video through their word play, and Mayer Hawthorne provides perfect pitch on the hook. "Queen Of Hearts" has proven to be a stand-out track on "Libretto: Of King Legend", and has become a TBO instant classic. In 2000 the jam was "Climax", and now the 2013 anthem is "Queen Of Hearts".
Uptown XO - Needs & Wants
Some visual experiences claim to be based on a true story, either loosely or firmly. For Uptown XO, shooting his “Needs & Wants” video fell into the latter category. The Washington, D.C. MC said that he just wanted to show the world this story because “I know so many people can relate.” Bringing the tumultuous relationship to the small screen was made that much easier by the fact XO worked with a crew that watched him go through everything in the clip, from the verbal altercations, the broken iPhone and the grits and turkey bacon breakfasts. Additionally, this is just the start for XO and his team, Secret Society Films, as they have plans to release more videos with like-minded DMV area artists.
Sealy Troh - If You Want Me
Sealy Troh's music is an eclectic culmination of every scene he's ever been in or listened to. He is a fan of artists like Daft Punk, People Under the Stairs, Kendrick Lamar, Atmosphere, and A Tribe Called Quest. "I'm influenced by Ska, Hardcore, Punk, Metal and Hip-Hop," he says. "Like those styles, those genres, I'm drawn to lyrics where there are messages about living your life, living your dreams and being free."
A student at California State University, Northridge, as Sealy Troh begins to prep for the release of his debut album, the video for his street buzz record, “G-Men,” which has served as the official launch-point for his “Yellow Lights” mixtape has already generated over 100K views in just a few weeks. The underlying theme on many of Sealy’s tracks are about struggle, hustle and dream chasing; something his young and rabid fan base will and can certainly identify with. “Yellow Lights” features original tracks and Sealy shines on “Like That” f/ Pretty Toney, which serves as an ode to Dr. Dre & Blackstreet’s “No Diggity” and the infectious hook of the anthemic “If You Want Me” will have listeners singing along almost immediately. Sealy shows off his impressive lyricism on heaters such as “Yesterday” and “Here We Come.” Sealy Troh’s second video, the title track of his forthcoming mixtape, “Yellow Lights,” is set to be released in April and the lead-single is a soul sampled groove remembrance of Jay-Z.
“Yellow Lights” features a new movement of young talent assembled by Sealy, spearheaded by Sealy himself and it embodies the street-energy resonating in America’s ghettos across the globe.
