100 PROOF "Don't Think So" from 100 proof on Vimeo.


Check ot this video from Cleveland artist 100 Proof "I Don't Think So"... The video is simple, clean and astectically pleasing... Drop some comments and holla at my boy on http://216skillz.com/

I grabbed this from http://216skillz.com/

How many college students do you know that have a record deal with J Records?? How many do you know that are still going to school full-time at Duke University while creating their debut album?? I know one, and he goes by the name of Mike Posner! The Southfield, MI native, Mike Posner is going to be in Columbus, Ohio at BOMA (Bar of Modern Art) Friday January 10th. I've been listening to some of his music lately and I must say that the man is DOPE! This is definitely going to be a do-not-miss event, and you know that the JWORK fam is going to be in the building!  Make sure that you are too!



General admission is $20 VIP is $35... Not bad at all!

BUY TICKETS OR RESERVE HERE!






DON'T FORGET he will be in CLE on Sunday at The Grog Shop and 6S is performing!

Not your typical person, nevermind female emcee, you're now rockin with the best her name is 6S. Success is her ultimate goal. From a new mixtape to shows with Mike Posner to trips to Miami out of sheer boredom, we're going in, are you ready for the ride???

- First and foremost I would like to say I'm happy to be interviewing my first female emcee! State your name and what it is that you do, and also let these good people know where you're from...

The name is 6S (pronounced "Success"). I gets busy. Currently residing in the city of Cleveland, Ohio but born and raised about 30 miles south in Akron.

-Me being from Columbus and seeing the music scene in Cleveland, it looks like it's really blowing up as far as artists gettin shine and doing big things. What is it that you feel makes you stand out amongst the crowd?

 Each artist that's making noise is bringing something different to the table. Being a female is automatically going to make me stand out b/c most of the artists here are men. But I'd like to think it has a lot to do with my attitude. I don't really care about what's popular and I don't really care about TRYING to make people accept what I'm doing. I just make music that feels good to me and fortunately people seem to appreciate it.

- What made you choose the name 6S (pronounced Success) as your identity?

Success is the goal of any mission. The definition of success may vary depending on the individual but everyone wants to attain success. *cue Drake & Trey Songz*

- What is your definition of 6S (Success)?

Success the goal: To connect with the masses through my experiences and my stories. 6S the person: A rebel with a cause.

Todaayyyyy I just feel like posting some classic EPIC ish from my personal favorite era in music, the SOUL era, the 1970's! There are definitely some newer musicians that are inspired by the original soul era, but I wanna go baaacccck... Soul music to me is music that is inspired fully by fusing the energy, the spirit, the feeling into something as simple as telling me to "Get up offa that thing"... Music that can take you down low and cause you to relate to an emotion you've never experienced... Music that can bring you back up and make you stand up on the inside without you placing a foot on the ground... An expression of what often cannot be put into words, things ranging from sexuality/love/ and political uprising, but the chords played upon the piano, the notes plucked from the bass guitar, the squeal emitted from the brass horn or that wail pushed from the inner most part of the body, some how says it all... Soul music is my favorite music...

"Queen,/ You deserve the title/ But she rejects what i give/ While she nurse the wounds by them/ Tried them, didn't work/ Got impossible standards,/ Nothin' I do's gonna work/ Diary of a black girl"

@Wale

This track is CLASSIC... in my humble opinion...
Everything from the arrangement and the lyrics and Marsha's BEAUTIFUL, ANGELIC voice makes this track a standout to me...
NOT to mention the song gets to me so TOUGH!

It gives you a peek into the goings on inside of MY diary... I can so relate to this song. I think that every woman keeps a diary, literal or figurative. Every man that we allow into our lives writes something on the tablet of our heart. Good or bad, there is a record being kept of what transpires in the relationship. I myself can say that my "Diary" is filled with doubt, fear and very little trust in the opposite sex. I don't want it to be that way, but when that's all you know it's hard to go AROUND that.

It's even harder for the man that is trying to prove otherwise. I'm an optimistic person, but fear prohibits me from letting go and allowing someone new to get close to me... Insecurity, is a self-imposed prison, I choose to let my mind create falsities and conspire about how your intentions are impure... And I KNOW that it's partially my fault because I settle and repeat some mistakes, but DAMN it seems never-ending... In order for change to occur one must do something DIFFERENT for a change... Seems like I should do that huh??

If I told you I wanted to talk to you, you know
you'd think I'm tryin' to holler at you
And maybe I am, but you wouldn't hear me out anyways would you?

Rather lose love than to move on never knowin' what it feels like
Short days, long nights by the phone, no call
Need a clear mind cuz I been blind got me goin down that road
Heart made of stone
Far away from home,
Black woman c-c-cold
Every problem that you ever had with another man, i gotta face
Started off on thin ice i'm still here but i can't skate
Slow sink, can't breathe
No remorse, don't think
Listen to your friend,
Get another man for a minute then repeat
Queen,
You deserve the title
But she rejects what i give
While she nurse the wounds by them
Tried them, didn't work
Got impossible standards,
Nothin' I do's gonna work
Diary of a black girl

[Chorus:]
I wonder why I sit and cry, wish I could shed all these tears
I'm down and out, I'll keep on movin' and tryin' to get out
I don't know how to move on, where I went wrong
Wish I could live with no fears
So down and out, I'll keep it movin' and try to get out, somehow

Black girl

Raise by a momma who, hates the baby father, so
She don't have a problem with, sayin' "fuck a nigga" quick
I'm just tryin' to be the one who never run, but you run away from me
Your girlfriend's men cheat, why not me the same thing
She can't see in me, what I see in her
This pain she inherit, can't be reversed
I can even stay livin' in the shade above the motherfuckers that played ya
The irony in that is I ain't even that but you put it in those pages
Wife, you deserve the label,
But you been hurt before,
So you sore, and don't feel you're able
Tried them, didn't work
Got impossible standards,
Nothing that i ever do'll work
Diary of a black girl

[Repeat Chorus:] (2x)

See all I ever want to do is be relevant just tell me that I ever meant anything or that you could ever see me and you on another light but its like the dark winter doors darkest nights by the wrong men mostly all of them have made you some what incapable of a first impression what I do is channel my aggression with no cable or antenna just intentions to impress you; incapable, hoping that the material possessions can materialize to a better you; cars, nothing I drive can drive better this frame of mind with such an ugly picture in the end; money, nothing I buy can buy me more time for your ears to say your heart to listen to it; diamonds, a girls best friend is what they say but believe me with the right allegiance ya, you gonna shine anyways and every day that goes by is a couple more lines in her diary the day before is better then the present so anyone presented in her presence endures her life; sentences, no key for release no reason to be around her minds in the clouds she writes it all down in her diary

end: The time at which something is concluded.

NOV 19th is here! D Larue's "End Of Regulation" is HERE!!!

I can't wait to listen to this! I'm really excited by the direction that Ohio Indie hip-hop is taking, ESPECIALLY to see a woman putting it down just as good as or BETTER than a man... I promise you she could beat you, your mama's mama, or yo mama's pappy in a battle....D. Larue's style is Raw, edgy, fresh, and original. And I hope you like her music as much as I do!

End of Regulation is 17 original tracks filled with enough lyricism and classic production to make any hip hop head have a cardiac. Dominique Larue does nothing but exude her passion for music in each song with her raw delivery and cunning storytelling. She is on a mission to let the world know that female emcees still exist and are alive and well. With production from Focus, Rashid Hadee, D/Will, T.Dragonette, Antman Wonder and more, along with features from the likes of Wordsmith, Prefyx, Junclassic, Cyrano Sinatra and Savant.




If you feel like hip hop has been lacking a woman's touch then this tape will bring all hope back in a special way. Dominique showcases her ability to rock any given track with her trademark raw elegance. End of Regulation is meant to show the world how she is putting in overtime to end mediocrity in music, this most definitely raises the bar. Ms. Larue's new album "From Ohio With Love" is available on iTunes/Amazon right now. Also lookout for Dub MD and !llmind as they return with Volume 4 of the "Blaps, Rhymes & Life" compilation series this December.

*Out of all the dances that are out there, OLD or NEW do you have a favorite?

No favorite dances...line dances have their purpose but I'm not a particular fan of any. I love playing Plastic Dreams by J Dilla (song for The Detroit Hustle)

*Is there any song/artist/genre that you DO NOT like to play? If so who/what and why?

I don't play hard rock & country, nothing against the music. I just don't move in those circles as a DJ.

*If you could recommend any artist/musician to me to listen to who would it be?

I have so many people I could suggest but I don't wanna leave anyone out. I'd just say pull any of my mix cd's and peep out the artists on there.

*Other than bring the masses music, what else do you do?

Along with DJing; I produce. I've done tracks for SPIRIT, Tavares, Ed Mabrey, Eddie Bayard, Talisha Holmes, Divine & YoRel...and a few more in progress. I do a little songwriting and write poetry when the mood strikes.

*What would you take with you if you were stuck on an island for a wk?

If on an island for a week, I'd prob decide to bring a beatiful woman. One that I wouldn't be tempted to set afloat 2 days into the week.

*What are 3 words that describe your style?

Creative, witty, professional.

*Anybody you want to give a shout out to??

Shout outs...to everyone who has supported me and The Mighty SoundChampz crew. From the yard of Kentucky State University to each and every club, stage, lounge, park that has hosted me and allowed me to do what I love most. Thank you all!

*Last question. If money were not an object, what would you do?

If money wasn't an object I'd do nothing lol. I'd wake up and just live life. I'd DJ, produce, travel; just walk the streets and inhale the sights & sounds of wherever I may find myself. Plus I'd spend more time with my lil' diggas.

State ur name gangsta and ur bizness


DJ Bern aka LeBern James, UnDfyned Ent / The Flypaper Disc Jockey


*Tell me a bit about yourself, where are you from?


Born and raised on the southside of Columbus Ohio, product of East High School


*Growing up what did you want to do?

I didn't really have any career goals when I was young, I just wanted to play videogames. In high school I was pushed to be an Engineer, but I quickly found out in college that being good at math isn't enough to be an Engineer lol


*What motivated you to become a DJ?

Ever since I can remember I loved listening to all types of music, from Dr Dre and George Clinton to AC-DC and stone Temple Pilots. I used to make tapes for my friends when I was younger, and mix cds in high school. When I got to college I started making real mix/blend tapes a la DJ Jelly (google him!) and I decided to take that step.


* How long have you been doing this?

August 2007 was my first club gig but I've been mixin music before I could wipe my own ass lol


*Do you or have you played any instruments?

I played drums in middle school concert band lol


*How does your music background influence your performance?

DJing is half rhythm and beat, timing and tempo is very important


*What are some of your favorite songs to play in your personal time?

Some of the artists I enjoy are Amerie, Jay-Z, Duffy, Coldplay, Chelsea Automatic, John Legend, Cam'ron, Paramore, Asher Roth... I really listen to everything that's GOOD music.


*What does being a DJ mean to you?

It means that I can help people enjoy themselves. I use music as an escape from reality, and I know a lot of other people do. Music helps people ease their minds, and I like providing that


*What place do you believe you hold in a persons "club experience"? In other words do you believe that you "make" the party?

I've DJed places with no bar, bad lighting, old people and young, and I know that you can take a lot out elements out of the club, but without the DJ there would be nothing


*What makes you different from any other man/woman on two turntables?

Music selection, technique, and personality make the DJ unique. I feel like I have top notch qualities in each category. Unlike a LOT of club DJs, I respect the artform of turntablism, and I am always trying to find new ways to make the music sync.


*What is your dream gig?

DJ A-Trak has a nice set before Kanye West shows when they go on tour. He does a lot of juggling, cutting, etc. That's my dream gig, to rock 20k people; not because of what I play, but HOW I play it.


*What's the wildest experience you ever had when you were Dj-ing at a party?


I used to DJ at this after hours spot in Bowling Green, Ohio. It was essentially just a big room; no furniture, dim lights, no bar. Just a stage by the front window for the DJ. I recall one night it was WALL to WALL packed, EVERYBODY was jumpin, and it was soooo thick that my vinyl started sweating because of the heat and humidity. About 400+ shoved in a sardine can, from 10p to 4am. That's a party


*Do you have a favorite DJ?


A lot of DJs inspire me. Krate Digga and Steph Floss made me want to get in the clubs, QBert and ATrak made me want to perfect my technique, and Premier made me want to make beats. These are my fav DJs.


*Do you see yourself as a role model for up and coming artists?


For the people who knew me when I was younger, they know that back in the day DJ wasn't my projected career. If I am a role model for anyone, hopefully they want to imitate my passion and desire to live my dream.


*Who are your role models?


My sister, because we both grew up hard and she showed me how to make it out. She inspires me to grind harder


*What advice would you give for someone wanting to make this a career?


DJing isn't easy. It takes hard work and patience. sure, you may know about 20-30 good songs, but do you know 500? 1000? Can you put them all together, better than the next guy? If you're trying to make money, be a doctor. This is about keeping it true to the artform.

Randoms


*Out of all the dances that are out there, OLD or NEW do you have a favorite?

Harlem shake, especially in the g-dep video lol.


*Is there any song/artist/genre that you DO NOT like to play? If so who/what and why?

As a DJ, its not about what the DJ wants to hear. Play what the majority of the crowd likes, and what yu think the majority of the crowd wants to hear. Take your opinion out of it. Ill play whatever yall want to hear


*If you could recommend any artist/musician to me to listen to who would it be?



Trek Manifest. Like me and my turntables, he rocks the mic like true hip-hop artists should.

Trek Manifest "Unstoppable Bars"





*Other than bring the masses music, what else do you do?

Play videogames, watch Law and Order, download bootleg movies, normal stuff


*What would you take with you if you were stuck on an island for a wk?


My macbook and a hand-cranked power generator to keep it charged lol


*What are 3 words that describe your style?


Authentic, flashy, dope


*Anybody you want to give a shout out to??


Undfyned Ent, Trek Dilla, DJ 100, The Flypaper, everybody in the nati and in BG that's ever heard me spin, and all of the people that support me.


*Last question. If money were not an object, what would you do?


Easy; I'd DJ for free the rest of my life. And still be the dopest DJ

Blame
Seems like romance and love were never with me
But things that you see ain't what you expect it to be
You gave me your soul... and I cherished it so
The way you treated me was richer than gold...
It was a struggle... just so hard for us to be
Now all I do is think about you and me.
When our bodies touched, and our minds met... breath left my chest
It's the best thing I've ever felt just yet
But something was amiss... and I felt it for the longest
Maybe because sometimes when we spoke, you weren't honest...
Not telling me lies, yet telling me half-truths
And I try to find those truths.... dig for the roots.
Say that you love me, miss me.... don't want to leave
But when you talk, it's hard to believe...
Why can't things just be easy?
Why can't you wait?
For me to give my mind and escape...
I can't be your man, cuz I won't be the best
I'll milk you so dry... till there's nothing left
But maybe that's my problem... I can't be fair.
I don't want to be with you, but want you to stay there.
I want you to be my peg... as I claw to the top.
I just don't want this perfect feeling to stop...
But the fighting is rotting away to my soul...
And I know I'm losing you... we cannot grow
Cuz I don't trust you, and you can't love me.... we're stuck at a cross
And the only thing left is for something to be lost...
I care about you so much, yet I just don't know
If I can care about you, cuz the pain will show...
And the BLAME is put on the ones that's not true.......
but I can't tell if it's me or you....

Price of Life

Even with my middle finger to the sky, and my eyes//focused on the prize... I feel like my slow demise//My mind rots of death... my brain is a coffin//The smoke slowly starts to clear, but I find myself coughing...//These niggaz keep talking... focused on me//And it's hard to be a father to D...//When I'm ready to give up... or ready to swell a niggas lips up//My life is in shambles... pieces I gotta pick up//I'm dealing with the problems of being single parent//and being infamous... look at my face, and it's apparent/I promise that my soul is so tired... but heart stays wired//You say that I'm weak but you're a muthafuckin' liar//Until you understand what's like to be here//Dealing with my issues with my life... my fears//You can't formulate an opinion that could matter at all//'Cuz I believe you wanna see me fall//I'm a man... I ain't perfect, I'm no angel whatsoever//It's just breathing since 5 has made me tough leather//It's made me smarter than a button... and a little bit stronger//But I don't think I can do this much longer//I got morals and stead-strong mission//To raise my son in the flesh, and not in prison...//But I keep getting pushed. Just give me some kush or a strap//And I'll pay for the support when I come back...//This pen ain't paying me enough... I'm in a fuckin' rush//And I feel that they trying to throw me under the bus....//In the wild, survival is the only rule you must go by//Fuck the life of rich, famous and the doe-eyed...//I'm a beast... I was raised as a cub of a nomad//Maybe that's why see everything else as so bad...//I can't afford the price of life.... that shit cost too much//But I'ma work for the prosperity... I lost too much//I have a legacy to teach... no roadblocks I can't breach//Don't think about standing in my way, you'll be missing some teeth//Witness the focus of a father with a lot to lose//With skin tough as concrete... it's hard to bruise//You can't hurt me, homie... this pain is my muse//And your scornful words will life the end of my fuse.....//
