RAP UNDERGROUND NORTH SHOWCASE
21 September 2006 @ The FIRE in Philly

Well despite all of the efforts to present roadblocks the RUN was unscaved. Because of scheduling conflicts we had to tell the performers at the last minute that we would be starting one hour earlier and that we had to be out by 9pm. No problem all of the acts were there by 7:45 and the first act went on by 8PM. The first act was a poet by the name of Ransom I think wasn't sure even though he tried to tell me a number of times, I guess I'll ask Andrea tha Gr8 I believe he was a friend of hers. But the boy had a flow and provided the audience with thought provoking verse. Then KingAmun, re' took the stage with his message driven hip hop I am sure we will hear more from this brother in the future. I was most impressed with the Friendly Fire crew you know the boy Bless, Air Smooth and Shizzy not sure if I got shizzy right by in time I will have put it together. The boys had some stuff that I believe will set them apart from the crowd so check them out where ever their performing you will not be disappointed. Then there was Terence (Side Effect) Woods (pictured) it sounds like this brother has been around for awhile his flow was real like in real hip hop if you check out his myspace "Sideeffect88" you will see that he has put out three independent CDs, I am glad to say my man gave me a copy of his latest effort "Dirt Hustlin". Side Effect takes it back to the days when hip hop was fresh and gave us something to look forward to when you knew all you wanted to do was rock the M.I.C. this is one cd you should check out and also check him out. I am sure I will be able to get Mr. Effect to come back to the RUN we like what he does. All in all for our first effort in some time it went well and it looks like it sparked and new interest in the people who bought you DA BUZZ magazine. Stay tuned....
