Along with Keys N Krates, the Bobo meets Rhettmatic show is one that pioneers live instrumentation and hip-hip to places where audiences have not imagined. With veteran percussionist from Cypress Hill and legendary DJ from the Beat Junkies, Bobo and Rhett take soul, house, hip-hop to some great levels of imagination. If you’ve been lucky enough to see them live, you know what I am talking about. They’ve now put together an album for your enjoyment. Go to their website, www.bobomeetsrhettmatic.com, to get it. Def worth it, if just for the intro. Trackilisting after the jump.
At the LA’s very own Root Down, DJ Rhettmatic does an hour set with Cypress Hill’s percussionist, Bobo for a live set of some creative music. Love seeing this hybrid of DJing and live percussion – word to Keys N Krates. Its an hour long vid w/ a special cameos by B-Real and Chino XL. Latinos stand up! Thanks to Candice for the link.

D-Nice had a chance to catch up with B-Real to talk about the making of “How I Can Just Kill A Man”, Latinos in Hip-Hop, and the future of Cypress Hill. Its a must watch!

You are probably asking yourself, “Why is Franchise posting an old-ass set of Cypress Hill performing live?” Look who’s DJing! If you don’t know, you’re not in the loop and don’t read KTL enough. Ask me on Twitter and I’ll tell ya. Thanks to Frank!

11 years in the making and I am barely catching with this Gumball 3000 craze. Sounds like fun but I don’t have the celebrity or the time (or money) to do it. But I don’t mind watching these two document their expolits on the road. With the event wrapping up last week, it was cool to see what they were able to get on film. I think my favorite part is Muggs saying that he is just spreading the culture of LA internationally. My thoughts exaclty and one of my life goals as well! Via EO. Second video after the jump.
Those of us that read liner notes and were interested who was behind the scenes in hip-hop are pretty familiar with who Dante Ross is. This man was pretty much connected to every dope hip-hop group and artists in the 90s (remember seeing the SD50 remix for everything?). This was especially true when Elektra was popping off with KMD, Leaders of the New School, and Brand Nubian. Its a good but long read starting with his days at Tommy Boy to present day working with Del and Casual. He also drops some gems about Grand Puba. Parts 1 through 3 are after the jump for your reading pleasure.
In my opinion the best photographer in America, Estevan took a moment to sit down with Ruby Hornet to talk about how he got started in the photography game, his encounters with De Niro, and why he’s better than most photographers out there today. AMART, I think you’ll appreciate his honest approach to his shots and photography jargon. There are even mentions of Ricky Powell and Terry Richardson. Lesson readers should learn after reading the interview, never fire a gun sideways. This is Part 1. We’ll post Part 2 later. Full interview after the jump…
