Monday Monday...



We’re taking a break from mastering our upcoming debut lp- Pirates! by producing this show. And often I get asked how we can focus so much on hip hop from all over the country while in the middle of our own thing...well, simply we LIVE hip hop. And curating what’s happening, reaffirms why we do what we do and why we love it. Without you- there can be no us. Fin. Hit us up with your thoughts at bpdoiseaux@yahoo.com.

So, on with the show. While there is a mass exodus to DC this weekend, we’re actually trippin’ back to Chi-town’s underground that has soundtracked the last 6 months of Obama’s landscape. The great thing about hip hop, is that as the commercial media tends to focus on those who pay to play- the underground is more likely to give you the flavor and energy of the creative and hungry. We think we’ve found a little bit of that. I won’t be a spoiler- frank will just lace this up. Its’ better that I hold off this month for parts one and two and let the music speak on it’s own.

But before he does so, I want to say that a lot has happened in the past 3 weeks- the Palestine situation, the Oakland Oscar Grant situation, Chesley Sullenberger the 3rd’s landing on the Hudson, and the solution to the Antwanisha Morgan murder in Frisco. CC Sabathia and Nathan Haynes visiting my students in West Oakland, not to bleak out, but all the while the soot from industrial and automotive sources falling on the snow covered mountains of the Western U.S. and Canada is causing premature snowpack meltings. Speaking of mountains- they say there is no mountain to a climber...which brings us back to Barack Obama. He’s going up. And we’ll be there to make sure he keeps on the rising steady.

No, we’ve REALLY got next.
