MP3: Greenhouse Featuring The Catalyst-Cold Out Here
My favorite two hip hop songs so far this Winter are Jay Electronica’s “Exhibit C”, and this Greenhouse/Catalyst collab, ” Cold Out Here” from Greenhouse’s EP, Electric Purgatory. On “Cold Out Here” all three emcees bring sobering depictions of how harsh these times can be.
Print raps about how stifling the world is right now, especially with the economy still fucked. Illogic speaks on ignoring detractors. And the Catalyst confesses to being an intoxicated, combustable mixture of talent and self-destructive tendencies in the midst of indifference.
Don’t sleep on the Thought Setter’s verse. Perfect for the winter blahs.
On Jan 30th, Greenhouse will be premiering the video for “Cold out Here” at Carabar. The show is free, all ages and will feature perfomances by Greenhouse, Apocalypse Inc., Johnny Cashola and All Eyes Path.

One of the funniest videos in a minute..
. RJD2’s-Let There Be Horns is a good sign that RJ’s new record, The Colossus, will be, well, good. The Colossus drops 1/19.
I like the shitty look RJ gives the bull. Ima guess this isn’t the last we have seen of the bull.
Regardless, you can catch RJ @:

Cd101 summerfest just got wavy . Envelope won the contest of public opinion. Oddly enough, he may be the only rapper in Columbus that truely follows the traditional formula of blowing up in his city. Neighborhood backing—->Crews—->Rocking the Party—->Record Sales—->Radio play.
(Granted radio play is on CD101 not 107.5, record sales are at indie rock stores not hoodspots, the party is either at Skullys or Bourbon Street not Icon or Club Ice, the Crews are BSA, Thought Set, Weightless instead of the Bloods, and his neighborhood is Clintonville not Livingston Ave. )
Too Short, told y’all:”Get in where you fit in”.
Anyway ,Envelope will be performing on @ the LC alongside Matt & Kim, Stellastar —-who has some song that isn’t about spatial intelligence or night vision—- called Graffiti Eyes,Black Joe Louis and Honey Bears,the Living Things, Band of Skulls, and Company of Thieves.
Tickets are 5 bucks.
Good job Columbus.
You know Donewaiting rides for rapper Envelope. He rides for us. Envelope played our Third and Sixth anniversaries.
Above is a video Jessica Morgan took of Envelope’s epic Comfest performance that was cut short because of some sort of noise rule that placates cowards in nearby townhouses.
Well Well…looks like Envelope has a shot being the highlight at another outdoor festival here in Columbus
CD101 is having this thing where you vote for on their website to pick who plays their Summerfest with fellow Monster House alums, Matt & Kim and some other groups. If Envelope is added to this festival then his music will end up in regular rotation on CD101.
Aside from him being a good dood, really no artist ,save maybe TNV or Blueprint, deserves radio more than Envelope when you account draw,record sales, and resonance with an audience.

MP3:Meta4ce-Monsta Musik(Unmixed)
Columbus rapper Meta4ce came a step closer to winning a million dollars on Sunday. MTV2 aired his second battle. He slayed dood. (we are still locating the video but you can watch the video of the first battle here on donewaiting). The above MP3(Monsta Musik) off of Meta4ce’s upcoming mixtape, has Young Meta describing the horrible things that he is capable of, very rabidly.
Meta4ce needs everyone to vote for him by texting Motv to 99134.
(there is a dollar fee for this text)
Meta4ce “embarassed the bum” on MTV2 Sunday. The Columbus rapper is on his way to NYC to compete in the World Hip Hop Championship’s Semi-finals.Stay tuned here & to MTV2.
Enphanate,Meta4ce,Rich,Gorf, Envelope, and N.P.
MP3: If You Down… by N.P. aka Npayshint of Thought Set
If you copped the Catalyst’s Fuck The Radio Mix Cd then you are already familiar with N.P. Or you might have heard him on either of Envelope’s album. He was the one at the end of “Turn it up ” singing:
“Sometimes I am pot head. Other days I am an alcoholic. One day I am gonna drop dead. And that’s the only way I am gonna stop it”
If you didn’t hear those songs…let me see. He has a voice and hook writing ability that a Method Man fan can run with and rap patterns that can compete with any NYC smack dvd mc. In fact Smack or Hood to Hood shoulda been a Boma last Summer when N.P. fought like three doods by himself in the parking lot.
Get Right had just ended, and a huge brawl broke out. When everything started making sense the whole thing looked like the video game Double Dragon or a like a Chuck Norris movie. Basically multiple people were attacking N.P. and he was just dropping them. It was funny cause normally when you see a bunch of doods attacking one of your friends your instincts tell you to intervene. But in all of us there was a weird calm like..Reggie has this. Don’t ruin it for him.
And sure enough. Dood knocked them all out.
This isnt to say N.P. is a thug or a criminal. I am just saying dood fought and beat up multiple attackers at once.

Columbus rapper Envelope dropped a cd recently called Sharkbolt. You should buy it. It’s not a very costly entertainment expense. The theme of the album is that as long as you do drugs, or drink you will be able to bond with your friends. 17 dollars should get you a cd, a square meal, and a 40. Does 30 dollars still get you a ten strip these days?
One day Envelope and I went and saw Mick Boogie at Boma. After the show, I left with Thought Set to go to Cashola’s house. Tony went elsewhereee.
On getting back to the Washington Beach area, our party remained in the road because because Thought Set and Cashola were sparking an L on the corner of Medary and ?????. (Even though I don’t smoke weed, I still can’t recall the intersection.) My completely ancient ringtone that has Jim Jones yelling at me to “pick up the phone stupid” screamed on me at about 3:45 am . After answering my phone to quiet the Capo, on other end was an angry Envelope wanting us to come help him fight. Weed makes people peaceful we didn’t make it there. So Envelope came to us.
Envelope shows up with a bloody hand from punching out a car window. He was obviously upset, so Cashola goes inside his home and finds a computer to break in the residential area’s street. (more…)
