Illogic leaked a doozy of a song on his bandcamp as a Christmas gift. The talented Columbus emcee has been working on an album called Capture the Sun with Aesoprock’s producer Blockheadfor awhile now.
They have something like 30 songs done. So not every song could make the record. So here we have “Anomoly”. There is no release date or anything formal like that for Capture the Sun. As you could imagine, there are several labels interested in putting out this team-up of underground rap stalwarts.
Illogic did say Slug, LxE and Eyedea’s protege Kristoff Krane have features on Capture the Sun.
A few weeks ago, I interviewed Illogic for a feature in the Alive. He spliced footage of this interview with footie of his release parties in Dayton and Columbus for this video thats circulating the internet.
Illogic is mad eloquent. I am mad hung-over.
I am not the only weird-o eccentric writerdood that Illogic is circulating the net with currently. Hip Hop DX is streaming the rmx of Diabolical Fun that features longtime penpal’s Slug, Aesop Rock & Columbus rapper Zero Star. Listen to the remix here–>Hip Hop DX
Watch video of Aesop recording his words here–>here
Zero will Join Illogic & DJ Manwell on the upcoming Diabolical Fun Tour. If you are wierd white poet writerdood please interrupt Zerostar anytime he is talking to a girl & ask him how he feels about the hole in the OZONE layer and/or tell him all your girl problems.

If Slug were Santa Claus he would give you a new, free Atmosphere album for the Holidays. This free download has Columbus Rhymesayer Blueprint on a track. The following was posted up by Slug and Ant on www.rhymesayers.com:
as a way to thank all of our supporters, ant and i have put together this party favor.
it’s called “strictly leakage.” thirteen songs to chase away the winter doldrums.
free and downloadable at this link : Right Click and Save as…
it’s great for first dates, crappy houseparties, or to play in the backround while you google yourself again.
is downloadable a word?
what’s a doldrum?
nonetheless, thank you for the love, and please have a happy safe holiday.
oh yeah, i almost forgot,
“sad clown bad winter 11″ is available now, and a new album from atmosphere, “when life gives you lemons, you paint that shit gold” will be available on april 22 2008.

Scotty Cockblock(Sweatin,Invented Columbus Hardcore) and DC Kareem(Get Right/MilkBar) are throwing a new Funk Party tonight with Columbus Hip Hop Pioneer DJ True Skills in the limelight. True Skills(Adrian Willis) has some of most curious, peregrine psychedelic funk records I have heard. Its like a weed brigadeiros for your body’s internal rhythmic response mechanisms.
After the Jump. 1 Important Fact about DJ True Skills.
DJ True Skills, known as DJ MAd Skills at the time, gave Bobbitio Garcia a MHZ(RJD2,Camu Tao, Copywrite,Jakki, Tage) demo in 1997.
For those that don’t know, Bobby used to host the Stretch Armstrong Show on WKCR that defined NYC underground Hip Hop in the 90′s. Bobbito had a label called Fondle’ Em. Fondle Em was at the time launching the career of Cage, and bringing Zevlove X of KMD back under the name MF Doom.
Bobbito thought it was dope, and started putting MHZ records out. This entrance to the NYC Indie Hop Hop inner-circle led to Copywrite & Camu getting down with Eastern Conference, and RJ being able to handle his “Dead Ringer” demo to Def Jux head El-P.
Who knows what time would’ve brought. Slug would’ve still been in at Scribble in Cincy for Print to meet. Rawls still knew Kweli. The MHz were really talented.
