“P.T.S.D.” (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) will be released on 4-15-14
With his highly-anticipated fourth solo-LP, “P.T.S.D.” (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), Pharoahe Monch re-emerges with a new concept project which finds the ground-breaking emcee tackling PTSD; a severe anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to any event that results in psychological trauma. Throughout the duration of the LP, Monch narrates as an independent artist weary from the war against the industry machine and through the struggle of the black male experience in America.
When Eminem recently name-dropped him (“But I still rap like I'm on my Pharoahe Monch grind”) on his “Rap God” single it was for good reason.; as Pharoahe Monch has been at the forefront of lyrical innovation for two-decades now. Not only is he one of Hip-Hop’s preeminent lyricists, crafting intricate rhyme schemes and intelligent raps, but he is also an incisive political and social commentator, using Hip-Hop as a platform for political engagement as his “Bullet” trilogy hauntingly speaks to audiences in the same dark personification of a bullet.
The first installment of the “Bullet” trilogy was introduced by Pharoahe in the seminal song “Stray Bullet” with Organized Konfusion via the Stress: The Extinction Agenda LP in 1994. The second installment came via his 2007 solo-LP, Desire, on the Mr. Porter produced “When The Gun Draws”. Socially prophetic and politically relevant, “Damage” from the upcoming PTSD (which drew rave reviews from Pitchfork, Complex, RapRadar, Vibe, MTV etc) continues to chronicle the tragedy of inner city killings and mass murder. Although it was penned before the Dark Knight Theater massacre in Colorado and the Newtown School shootings, the song relevantly accentuates the obvious ongoing gun issue in our society and provides a chilling reminder that bullets have no name. Similarly, a then rough-version of Monch’s protest song, “Stand Your Ground,” was released immediately at Monch’s insistence after the Trayvon Martin verdict was announced and added more discourse on the polarizing debates about racial profiling, civil rights and the inadequacies of the justice system. Monch’s social commentary was subsequently profiled by MTV, Vibe, Huffington Post, AOL, BET, Ebony and LA Times.
While Monch is not afraid to tackle the tough topics, the diversity you come to expect from Monch abounds on P.T.S.D., as he is quick to remind everyone that he’s still a “Top 5” emcee on recently released “Bad M.F.” and “Rapid Eye Movement” as he and Black Thought get lucid for a 4-minute exhibition of pure lyricism. Further, Monch addresses the struggle of the hood on “The Jungle” “sometimes we all feel fenced in” and the haunting isolation of addiction on “Broken Again” and the LP’s title track swiftly brings you back to the overall concept of the LP “F*ck you know about struggle/the boy in the plastic bubble/when I drink away the pain I guzzle/my life is like a complicated mathematical puzzle.”
Monch’s longtime collaborator, Lee Stone, returns to the fold to produce four tracks; including “Dream” f/ Talib Kweli and Marco Polo who reunited Monch and Prince Po for a new Organized Konfusion track (“3-O-Clock”) from his recently released project, chips in three tracks as well. Monch also links up with Mello Music Group’s rising upstart, Quelle Chris, on “Scream.” Further displaying his versatility, Monch collaborates with The Stepkids (Stones Throw Records) on “Eht Dnarg Noisulli.”
In related news, Pharoahe Monch is currently on tour in Europe an is planning a full US tour to support PTSD in the spring, check www.pharoahe.com for tour and album updates.

LOS ANGELES (Associated Press) — Chris Brown will spend another month in jail after a judge said Monday he was told the singer made troubling comments in rehab about being good at using guns and knives.
Brown, 24, was arrested on Friday after he was dismissed from a Malibu facility where he was receiving treatment for anger management, substance abuse and issues related to bipolar disorder.
Superior Court Judge James R. Brandlin said rehab officials reported to him that Brown said during a group session: "'I am good at using guns and knives.'" His comment was in response to an exercise in which Brown was asked to reflect on things he was good or excelled at.
The facility cited three other violations of its rules, claiming Brown refused to take a drug test, made a statement that alarmed rehab officials, and was seen touching the elbow of a female client.
His attorney Mark Geragos said the comment Brown made that prompted concern was, "'I'm going to ask my higher power to take away my troubles.'" An incident report by the facility states Brown laughed and rolled his eyes when he made the comment.
Geragos said that despite initially resisting the drug test, his client eventually took it and passed.
Brandlin rejected a request by Geragos that the Grammy-winning Brown be released into a different rehab program. He ordered Brown to remain in jail until a probation violation hearing scheduled for April 23.
The singer has been under court supervision since pleading guilty to the felony assault of his then-girlfriend Rihanna in an attack hours before the 2009 Grammy Awards.
Brown appeared in court wearing an orange jail jumpsuit, a sharp contrast from the suits and designer jeans he has worn for other court hearings.
Geragos had requested that Brown be allowed to change into a suit, but Brandlin refused. The singer's mother was crying as she left the courtroom.
The defense attorney argued unsuccessfully that keeping Brown in custody would be a waste of law enforcement and court resources and could create problems for the singer's upcoming trial in Washington, D.C., on a misdemeanor assault charge.
Geragos said that trial is scheduled for April 17 but there was no way the singer could attend it if he was sitting in a Los Angeles jail.
Brandlin ordered Geragos and a prosecutor to look into options that would allow Brown to attend the trial before the probation violation hearing was held in Los Angeles.
The judge did not indicate any potential penalties he was considering if Brown is found to have violated his probation.
Geragos said the ruling to keep Brown in jail would likely force him to file an appellate court motion for the release of the singer.
After the hearing, he described Brown as having a bad day at the treatment facility.
"You know — do you have a bad day? I have bad days sometimes," Geragos said outside the courthouse. "Do you say things you'd like to take back? I certainly do. So I don't know that being in a therapeutic session and you're talking about your reflections and you say one sentence means you go to jail? Seems to me to be counterproductive to therapy."

DJ Jay Claxton a.k.a. The Franchise in association with Unruly Records, DTLR Radio and Architects Recording Studio presents the Motivation mixtape. The tape features special mixes of many of your favorite songs of the year.
Kanye West's lawyer's cut a plea deal today in the assault case involving photographer Daniel Ramos.
In exchange for pleading no contest to misdemeanor battery, the charge of attempted grand theft was dropped
West was sentenced to two years of probation, 24 anger management therapy sessions and 250 hours of community service. The 36-year old rapper, who was not present in court, did not have to enter a plea of guilt and if he stays out of trouble while on probation the conviction will probably be erased from his record, according to TMZ.
Ramos asked the judge to throw the G.O.O.D. Music CEO in jail.
"I was only doing my job, and he broke the law," Ramos said. "I believe that if I did what he did to me, I would have been put behind bars."
No financial settlement with Ramos has been reached, making it likely he will pursue a civil suit against West.
West attacked Ramos at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) after telling him not to speak on July 19, 2013.

Hip Hop Fusion Breakdance Easter Special 2014
19.04.2014, Easter season will kick off Hip Hop Fusion along with the Urban DanceFest Project in the „Eventpalast“ at the „Alte Messe“ in Leipzig. It will start with a breakdance battle and a huge after-show party split up in three different sections. The event will start in the afternoon and go until the early hours of the next morning. Dancers from Germany and other european countries will compete elimination-style. You are still able to register for the show or freestyle sessions.
The contest begins by introducing the event and the jury, Evil Eye (Battalion East), Mitch (LE Alive), and Gazelle (Flowjob). DJ Nobody from Stuttgart (known from Battle of the Month) will start off the battle with a musical warm up. The hot phase of the battle will be fought by legend DJ Help from France. He has previously appeared at large events, such as Battle of the Year. On the second stage (Lounge/Backstage), the Bboys will be warming up.
The evening schedule will be filled with Spax and other hip hop heads. There are still open spots for artists for the freestyle sessions and the live shows. Check the official websites for more information. Hip Hop Fusion offers participants a perfect platform to present themselves and their talents.
The Hip Hop Fusion community and event are meant to increase understanding about this youth culture as well as to bring the community closer together. Subjects like DJing, rap, graffiti, breakdance, and skating will be addressed using contests, workshops, live shows, and more.We gladly invite artists and volunteers to participate in the dance, rap, and freestyle workshops and sessions. Furthermore, we are still actively seeking engaged individuals for our team. Our main goal is to reach the young generation and to support them. We are also trying to incorporate physical activity in our agenda, for example basketball, dancing (breakdance, hip hop dance, streetdance), and skating. If we receive the support we need, we will be able to offer many more beginner and intermediate courses and workshops.
Hip hop culture is all about the combined exchange of cultures and working together.

Bonnie Godiva battled Uno Lavoz on King of the Dot's "Blackout 4" card. Check it out below and let us know who you think won?
Still relatively new on the battle scene, Bonnie Godiva has only begun to see her momentum pick up in the last 12 months. The NYC battle rapper has done more than her fair share to help blaze the path for female emcees in a still mostly male dominated scene, as shown by her work ethic over the past year. Featured heavily in both Queen of the Ring and King of the Dot, Bonnie has been in the ring almost a dozen times in as many months, squaring off against the likes of Germ Free, Dutchess and Young Gattas. Still in the process of evolving her style, Bonnie has shown that she can switch seamlessly between clowning her opponent with her clever wit and humor and overpowering them with hard hitting punches. Back in Toronto for the second time, Bonnie Godiva takes part in one of the very few male vs. female battles ever.
If success as a battler was measured strictly by number of battles in a relatively short amount of time, Uno Lavoz would be one of the best of all time. Over the course of the last three years, Philadelphia's Uno Lavoz has battled over fifty times all over the world, including Canada, Australia, and the U.K. With a resume that includes high profile opponents such as Johnny Storm, F.L.O. and Henry Bowers, Uno has never been one to back down from a challenge. Most well known for his outrageous humor, Uno Lavoz is also able to deliver devastating blows to beat down his opponent. A crowd favorite in Toronto, Uno returns to appease his fan base and take on Bonnie Godiva in this next release from Blackout 4.
