"Mic Chekk on Deck" Exclusive Interview with Flo Dirt 2007-07-31 16:07:50 Yo, this is Flo Dirt back with another installment of 10 Shots. What I realized throughout my short journey and lifespan of this series is that I’ve been able to give a different side of the artists you already know and sometimes expose you to artists you wouldn’t otherwise be aware of. I’m continuing that trend this time out with a cat out of the Chi named Mic Chekk. This is a 10 Shots exclusive, beginning a new chapter I call, “10 Unsigned Shots.” Enjoy and please check out Mic Chekk’s Myspace page after the read at www.myspace.com/micchekk!-Peace & Dirt!(As a side-note, the Chi-Town natives have been hitting me up crazy but where is the rest of hip hop at??

"Not So Mellow Weekend" by Pennivy 2007-07-30 20:13:44 There's no better way to escape the hustle of the concrete city than to spend the day maxing and relaxing at Russell Simmons'crib in the Hamptons. So on Saturday (7/28/07) I took the trek to the "Estate" to attend the 8th Annual Art For Life East Hampton Gala. The theme for this year was "Not So Mellow Yellow." The celebrities came from near and far to salute the efforts of Rush Philanthropic and they did it in sunny style.Obviously, not everyone got the yellow memo. And some rebels were determined to stand out. But as any fashionista knows, observing a themedoes not require bathing yourself in one boring color from head to toe-It's all about the subtle accents.Below: Melissa's Clutch and the hints of yellow in Sandy Lomax's dressdo the trick:By the end of the night, Rush Philanthropic raised millions for disadvantaged New York City youth. Just another positive day in Hip Hop.Source: Pennivy - Writer for HipHopRuckus-If you have questions or comments for Pennivy, contact her by em ...
