Rocko Da Don

Words from Jermaine Dupri So So Def
From... "Umma Do Me" ROCKO DA DON video shoot.

JD explains why he signed Rocko Da Don to his label So So Def. Ask him why? He replies being an CEO/record label owner that we are lookin for artists who have already made a NAME for THEMSELVES." Someone who is "Hurtin the Streets."

Therefore fellas/ladies the streets have to "co-sign you!" They want the Artists who can put in that work!! NO NAME = NO GAME! Although you just "might" be hotter "lyrically" ...but now does that mean anything?? Make sure your city KNOWS YOU!

Now a days it takes more than just having a Hot Single to in able to survive. Like Quincy Jones had mentioned [i]"CDs will eventually turn into a Novelty in which fans will want to purchase a DVD over a CD." [/i]Fans are NOW buying into the artist, because they want to capture the story behind the artist with a visual perception of who that artist is.

An artist must make a name for himself, somehow, or someway in order to just be recgonized to get a record deal in 2008.

BOW WOW GETS INTO A FIGHT?

(taken from Allhiphop.com)

UH OH! On Jan 27th, I heard that Wow Bow aka Bow Wow got into a fight with security at the Q Arena in Cleveland. I don’t know what happened! Yes, I do. Well, I heard that his road manager Deon, DJ Jus, Lil D (whoever that is) and Wow Bow’s security were fighting with security during Chris Brown’s set!

And my homey Big Heff told me the whole ordeal went all the way backstage! Where the hell was Omarion? HE’s bad! He could have kicked those mikki fikki’s back to the county! I bet this has something to do with people not respecting Wow Bow…hmmmmmmmm

CHIP DOIN THE G5

It's been rumored that Cleveland artist, Chip the Ripper, left Dreamlife Records to sign with Jive. His appearance in Huey's new "G5" video is further evidence that Chip has found a new home.

This could be Cleveland's summer! Continue supporting our scene and it's only a matter of time!

SLICK WATTS / KASHI KICKS MERGE!!

Here's a bit of news that was brought to my attention... It's crazy when I hear about rappers dropping their own shoes before I hear about them dropping any new music! Regardless, congrats to big homie Slick Watts..

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Wattsy Music Management is pleased to announce a new partnership for Slick Watts with Kashi Kicks out of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Kashi Kicks will become the Official Shoe of Slick Watts and will be the exclusive shoe for his performances, media appearances, and any photo or video shoots. They will also be the presenting partner of Slick Watts Birthday Bash on November 30th in Columbus, Ohio. Kashi Kicks are the hottest shoe out today in Hip Hop and are worn by R&B artist Ginuwine, football player Joey Porter and Hip Hop legend Flava Flav. “This is a big opportunity and I feel blessed to be in this position.” Watts stated, “It just makes me want to go further and push harder. It is a huge step forward in my music and life and is a great feeling to know Kashi Kicks has faith in my music and is willing to put their name behind the Slick Watts brand.”

Kashi Kicks were started by Pittsburgh jeweler Alan Kashi of Kashi Jewelry. These shoes are covered with bright colors and patterns, prints, glitter and even clocks on a thick-soled shoe ranging in price form $120-$250. They are known as jewelry for your feet! Kashi Kicks are distributed all over the world and can be purchased in stores all over the world in countries such as the United States, Italy, Canada, the Netherlands and Korea. “We here at Kashi Kicks are very excited to work with Slick Watts and Wattsy Music.” said owner AK for the entire Kashi Kicks family.

The doors will open at 9pm and will include shoe giveaways by Kashi Kicks, performances from various artists and headlined by Slick Watts.

When asked what he thought about the new partnership Slick said, “To come from not being able to afford expensive shoes for the longest time to having my own official show is really special to me. It just goes to show the young people in the Ohio Valley and everywhere that anything is possible with hard work. This is just the beginning for me as well as the other artists in the BittaSweet Records family. The sky’s the limit!”

GET IT AND GO!!

Introducing... CJ. He got a single on 1079, "Party Pack" with Chip the Ripper, and a hot joint in the streets called "Get it and Go." I'm predicting we'll be hearing alot more from CJ in the near future. Rumor has it, CJ was offered a record deal by Nelly in 03 on swag ALONE! Apparently at this time, CJ wasn't even rapping. Check him out Skent Dukes "I Got Swagga" single and video. Here's a link to the myspace:

CLEVELAND ARTIST, K.I.D. CUDI, SIGNED TO DJ A TRAK'S (KANYE WEST DJ) FOOLS GOLD RECORDS!

At the age of 15, Kid Cudi recorded his first song on a karaoke machine in his friend’s basement. It was a freestyle over the beat to Wu-Tang Clan’s “It's Yourz,” an undeniable hip-hop classic. From recording on a karaoke machine in his friend’s basement in Cleveland to packing venues all over the country with his Fools Gold cohorts, Kid Sister, A-Trak, and the Cool Kids, Cudi is clearly living out his dream, even though his journey to underground stardom hasn’t been an easy one.

It’s difficult to compare Cudi to any of today’s marginally successful artists, mainly because he’s made his music with the intention of developing his own sound. Kid Cudi hasn’t even released an album yet, but already holds a spot on my most anticipated albums of 2008, largely because of a track called “Day N Night,” a spaced out, R&B influenced tale of loneliness and isolation, something not often heard in the world of hip-hop anymore. After the song was released last spring, Kid Cudi began to receive acclaim from various bloggers and fans who refreshed his Myspace page numerous times, just to hear that song again. CHECK OUT THE INTERVIEW HERE:

LIL WAYNE BITING OHIO RAPPER???

I saw this circulating myspace... apparently this rapper feels strongly that Lil Wayne straight jacked his shit! In his own words:

"i was listenin to z1079 couple days ago and i heard some dj mixing lil wayne. after poppin bottles someone scratched in a half ass verse of some other joint i aint heard, but wayne bit one of the first tracks i ever made. i said "im the shit u a fuckin poop stain." i made that up years ago. wayne said im the shh u a poop stain. last line of that verse. it might be coincidence, but i dono. he bit gillie the kid last year. i put that line up on face book and he musta heard it, saw it or some shit. maybe he got a copy of the track. weezy cant spit punches like me doe."

THIS MAY BE TROUBLE FOR THE GREATEST RAPPER ALIVE!!

MAJOR LABELS LOOKING IN OHIO FOR TALENT

Shout out to the homie Sickamore, world reknown DJ and A&R at Atlantic Records, who fell through Cleveland the past few days. I saw him at Cyrus and asked him what he was doing in town and he told me he was "networking." That means: if YOU were in the spot last night, you could've chopped it up with someone with "signing" power at Atlantic Records! You're not gonna make it out the basement if you never leave it, nameen? It's all about being in the right place at the right time.. get on ya grind yungins.

Rappers, singers, and producers looking to get on, make sure you google: DJ SICKAMORE, and contact him with your material. Check out his artist, NEAKO... Sick passed me a mixtape and dude can spit AND produce. You gotta be multi-superhuman-talented to make it nowadays! Step ur skills up SUCKAAAAAAAAAS!!!!!!!

POOH GUTTA feat. A ROD - ROYALTY DISS

DAMN, it seems Dreamlife's Royalty Camp (Al Fat, Pooh Gutta, RJ, Tae) has fallen out over a dispute at The View Nite Club two weeks ago. This freestyle featuring Pooh Gutta and A Rod surfaced on the net:

http://www.myspace.com/poohgutta2

I remember seeing them perform at the 1079 Birthday Bash a couple years back, THEY SHUT SHIT DOWN!! One of the best live rap shows I've ever seen (and I SEEN good performers, Common, Jay, 50, you name it..). I give them alot of credit, and I fuck with they shit. I hope they can work out the differences and get back to making music. They have alot of potential and it seems like egos and a little regional fame may be the downfall of something that could be much bigger. As always, if you know something regarding this situation and wanna weigh in, holla at us 2one6blog@gmail.com

BOW WOW THROWS UP "614" HOOD

Imma let my homie ILLSEED from Allhiphop.com tell this one:

BOW WOW THROWS UP HOOD

I want to call this guy Bow Wow again, but he keeps doing so much backwards stuff, I have to keep it Wow Bow. Here is the latest. One of my lady friends (shout out to Nastashia) saw Wow Bow recently out there in Nashville and got parts of the crowd a lil’ upset because he was reppin’ his ‘hood too much. Apparently, while he was in Cashville, he continually shouted out the “614” and that’s an area code in Columbus, OH, where he was born. Nastashia’s descriptions of Wow Bow were too funny, but I won’t print it because I will be branded a hater. You all might forget, I was one of the first to chastise the young buck (for dissing Will Smith). Apparently, at this show, he stated that he and Chris Brown were still cool, but it was Chris Brown’s people that were messing up his show.

On that note, I heard Chris Brown headlined the show and was also filming a DVD at the same time. One thing Wow Bow did that everybody liked was bring out Young Buck, who was probably seen as an Old Buck at that screamfest.

-taken from ILLSEED (allhiphop.com)

I guess the rest of the world thinks this is fucked up, but I say HELL YEAH! Rep that shit homie

Promoter Who booked Plies ... GETS BOOKED!

Yeah, u heard it right! A Promoter who booked Plies for a show has apparently booked himself to an armed robbery case.(Innocent until proven guilty) The promoter who had to come up with at least half of $25,000 to book Plies has now lost well over $15,000and a court date. Plies who came to Cleveland to perform in Cleveland, OH. last year at the Metropolis came to a show of LESS than a 100 awaiting fans. PLIES who is know to book shows for $25,000 came to cleveland, but relunctly did not PERFORM.

Now isn't in the contract that a "NO PERFORMANCE" means a refund??? Well I guess the promoter will not see his refund no time soon. I really feel sorry for this dude, but when will people stop tryin to act like they are PROMOTERS. Not only does the promoter lose, but we as CLEVELAND get a BAD rap from outside national artists because of promoters who lack the knowledge of promotion & marketing.

WHO's FAULT IS IT???

MICK BOOGIE, URB MAGAZINE, FATMAN SCOOP

While we're talking about The League, check out this banger from the hardest working DJ in the bizness, Mick Boogie. His website is packed with free downloads and if you haven't already, visit the legendary Mick Boogie Forum. All the cool people hang out there.

CHIP THA RIPPER leaves Dreamlife Records

It appears that word in the STREET's is that Cleveland artist "CHIP THA RIPPER" has apparently left the label Dreamlife Records, over an undiputed settlement of un-accounted fees (money owed) due to him.

From "Get It Gurl" to "I'm Fitted" ... Chip has proven to be that Next Hot Artist! AND Now he is featured on HI-TEK's record "Ohio All Stars" Album (HI-TECHNOLOGY 3), http://www.myspace.com/hitek ... & VIDEO BELOW has shown as well as proved why he is Next!

It's no DOUBT why the labels are in HIGH Negotiation ... HMMM 7 figs.

From what is heard from the streets that is ... not only is JIVE RECORDS interested in signing Chip, but UNIVERSAL & WARNER BROTHERS music!??? Now that is HUGE!!! Major labels are actually calling the area code (216) LOOKING for CHIP THA RIPPER???

Is CLEVELAND next to blow??? Could this be the NEW AGE of MIDWEST exposure like the Infamous Bone Thugs & Harmony??????

Welcome to the official 2ONE6 blog. This is your source for all the latest news, music, and videos related to the growing Ohio music scene. All bullshit aside, we tell it how it is. Our opinions will be kept to a minimal, and we aren't biased towards any individual artist or label. It's pretty simple, we keep our ear to the street and keep you posted via this blog. So if you read something you don't like, don't be mad at the messenger, we're just telling you what we heard. On the other hand, our goal isn't to downplay any group or individual. We'd like to keep things overall positive :)

Let's kick this off right. Check out this classic clip of the OJays performing "Money." The Ojay's formed and got their start in Ohio and their legacy is testament to what is possible for Ohio's future artists.
