Return To The BoomBox Radio Podcast 8/23/08 - Friction & A-Alikes Bring The Revolution To A Speaker Near You

Today's show brought together several artists from different locations with similar goals in mind: counteract the negative messages against oppressed minorities and feed people the truth of society's ills through music. Many topics were hit upon as emcees Friction, Ness & K and DJ Scan Elohem all sat together with each other for the first time and exchanged thoughts and facts. This first half focuses more on their music and how they view the Hip Hop genre currently, and there is a lot of food for thought here. The BoomBox crew also provided various tunes aside from the artist's music, as shown by the incomplete play list below:

Paris - Outta My Life
Ice Cube - Amerikkka's Most Wanted
Souls Of Mischief - Never No More
Hieroglyphics - You Never Knew
Medinah Starr - Hold Me Down
Maya Azucena feat Hasan Salam, Immortal Technique & Ness of A-Alikes - Rebel
Friction - Give It Up
Friction - Better Man

The 3rd Annual Rapathon




3rd Annual Rapathon
Get your energy drinks, sleeping bags, and hottest rhymes ready, the 3rd Annual Rapathon is finally here. With an extended 2 hours, H2C2 takes the art of an emcee to an all new high. A 26 hour non-stop cipher without profanity featuring 100 rappers may sound impossible, but we're here to prove it can be done. Over the past 3 years we've managed to gather a collective group of emcees with amazing freestyle/lyrical skills. Artists from the Tri-state area, Cuba, Sweden, and Lithuania have accompanied H2C2 in this incredible feat.

H2C2 is a facility that conducts Hip Hop centric education youth programs, sneaker battles, artist showcases & expos, art exhibitions, and corporate special events. Our most significant event of the year, the record-breaking Rapathon, has proven to be a great outlet for unsigned and upcoming artists to spread their message. Members of the Rapathon Alumni have performed at Summer Jam, been signed to major record labels, and have had a video directed and produced by Ralph McDaniels. The 3rd Annual Rapathon will include a new special attraction called the "The Real", a one hour segment dedicated to raising awareness of HIV/AIDS. There will also be pamphlets distributed during this segment to educate the audience of risks and prevention.

The Hip Hop experience begins Saturday, May 30th, 2009 at 6:00 pm and ends Sunday, May 31st, 2009 at 8:00 pm. The Rapathon is open to anyone with a love for Hip Hop and the ability to rhyme for 90 seconds straight without cursing. If you think you got what it takes, want to showcase your talent, or just want to be amongst your kind of folk', the Rapathon is the place to be. There will be no fee for emcees to participate, just space, opportunity, and cool prizes for the best performers. However, there will be a general admission fee for spectators. This year will be truly unique for H2C2 because the Guinness World Records is supporting us in our endeavors to document the 3rd Annual Rapathon as the "longest un-ending rap" category in history.

The Hip Hop Culture Center in Harlem is located at 2309 Frederick Douglass Blvd., 2nd Floor of the Magic Johnson Theater in the heart of Harlem, along 125th Street shopping district. We are accessible by A, B, C, D, 2 and 3 trains.
