Master P to star in "Post-Katrina" Documentary 2007-08-31 09:11:45 On the second anniversary of the hurricane that resulted in the worst U.S. natural disaster ever …"slow, insufficient and misguided federal policy is keeping tens of thousands of displaced American families from realizing their human right to return and rebuild their lives and communities." (Jeffrey Buchanan, Blueprint for Gulf Renewal, August/September 2007)*. Two years later, as the struggle to collect promised aid, return home, rebuild and recover looms perilously close to failure, a story being told by some 600 New Orleans evacuees may not have had a voice without Taproot Productions' documentary Desert Bayou.Featuring Master P, whose parents were among the displaced and Utah-transferred evacuees, Desert Bayou centers on the experiences of two families in this group who found themselves not only forced from the only homes they knew, but literally sequestered on planes, plopped into a desert on an abandoned military base 45 minutes outside of Salt Lake City, and forced to maneuve ...

Strong Arm Steady’s "Deep Hearted" Album Review by Flo Dirt 2007-08-31 06:16:16 The first time I heard Strong Arm Steady was on Xzibit’s “Klack” off the Weapons of Mass Destruction cd. I had already heard of the individual members before though. Mitchy Slick is a legend in San Diego where I spent 5 years of my life. You couldn’t walk into any clothing store, from what was Jagged Edge to Fam Mart, without seeing posters for Triggeration Station. Phil da Agony was always poppin’ up on some Likwit Crew tape or Dilated project I was bumpin’. (DubRoc is always harassing me about my “tapes” but I got some classic shit on tape! I can’t part with ‘em!) I have always known how dope Phil is on the mic. And Krondon is just one of those dudes with one of those voices that you hear and you scrunch your face up, saying to yourself “Who is THAT???” He’s just been putting in his time on the under and staying focused. These three together form the Strong Arm Steady gang. “Get a bar, bitch.” I’ve been waiting for their first official release since ...
