Nico the Beast’s album release party was the scene. I had to go in for my homie’s big night. Understand its North Philly, Cleveland St 2300 to be exact, YBMusic/Memory Lane and a whole gang of other fam riding out. Big shout to my OG Lux aka The Man They Call Lux and Corner 2 Corner Studios for the crispy hd footage!

As the heat wave continues and electricity bills rise, the energy definitely went through the roof for me this past week. iStandard showcases in Philly and Atlanta followed by an early morning flight back to Philly to prep for Nico the Beast’s “The Beast Within” album release party had me on my toes. Speaking of Nico, jog on over (running at this point would be uncivilized) to www.NicoTheBeast.com or hit iTunes and cop up on what is truly a classic release and a personal journey filled with ups and downs from one of Philly’s finest emcees. Shouts to Symbolic-One aka S-1 for totally going in on this beat. Check for him and future music. He’s a friend of the fam and one of the realest men I’ve ever had the pleasure of chatting with. Ye’ did his thing and now its my turn. Hope you enjoy. Stay tuned for more and keep cool! Peace.

Ciz 52 Freestyle Week 29 “Power” by 2ew Gunn Ciz

Welcome to the 28th Week of 2010. Its hot right? lol. If you live somewhere that is sub-90’s then get at me so i can make travel arrangements. After a wonderful two nights at Fluid Night Club in Philly listening to dope beats from some of the best unsigned producers around and taking in wisdom from industry staples such as Digga, Illmind and Omen, I dropped by the studio to lay my BMF Freestyle. Shouts to my role model, Rhonda Nicholas and my step father turned real father, Paul Nicholas. I want to be like them. Y’all know by now I’m always one to buck trends but at the same time I grew up with, around and under certified North Philly gangsters and I know there ain’t no money like fast money. I’m still blowin it. I just switched the hustle. Catch me in Atlanta next week at CW Midtown blowin some more. Just make sure when you blow it, that it blows in a direction that will make you more! Get it how you live. Live how you should. I’ll see you guys next week.

Ciz 52 Freestyle Week 28 “BMF” by 2ew Gunn Ciz

Its Summertime in the City! Somewhere out there Will Smith has returned to your radio. The 27th Week finds us caught in a heatwave here on the East Coast. There’s something about muiltiple 90 degree days that brings out the worst in the hood. At the same time summer is also a happy period filled with fun, food, family and friends. You take the heat and light and turn it into what you want it to be. Enjoy your 4th of July. We’ll catch back up next week.

Ciz 52 Freestyle Week 27 “Dear Summer” by 2ew Gunn Ciz

Pardon me as I exhale. Week 26 marks the halfway point on this trip and even though it’s halftime, Im not taking a breather. Large Professor crafted a beautiful cut on which Nasir Jones laid his lyrical wizardry upon. Honestly I knew that I would be using this track when I originally decided to do the 52 week series. Thanks to all who are still listening and thanks to those who tuned in at some point along the way. The audience and the feedback is truly love. 2010 is at its middle point and we’re still here. RIP to those who aren’t. Have a blessed day and check me out next week. Peace!

Week 25 is upon us. We are one week away from the halfway point of the year. This week marked the birthday of Tupac Amaru Shakur, who needs no introduction. As one of the most prolific, talented and passionate artists in hip hop history I felt it only right to hop on a Pac track. RIP to all the lost soldiers and people period. Life is valuable. I’ve said it before but I can’t say it enough. Thanks for checkin in once again. Keep the feedback coming. Keep passing the links on. I appreciate every look.

Ciz 52 Freestyle Week 25 “Ambitions as a Rapper” by 2ew Gunn Ciz

Koman Coulibaly aka Sleepy

As an American citizen and an avid supporter of Soccer and our US team I have to hit the dislike button on Koman Coulibaly of Mali, for the worst display of officiating I have ever witness in all my years of watching badly officiated sports contests. From the start of the match I could tell this guy might be a problem. He was slow on the pitch getting around and often behind plays. He made terrible calls including a handball call on Robbie Findley in the penalty area with the US threatening to equalize down only 1. The ball clearly hits Robbie in the face. Instead of a decent scoring chance the call is made and Slovenia come down and score another goal to make it 2-0. It was also Robbie’s second yellow card, thus making him ineligible for the final Group Stage match. His foul calls or lack thereof were blatant and terrible. By the time the US fought back to tie the match, I had forgotten about Coulibaly in all my excitement, but he brought the focus back on himself with a horrendous call. Landon Donovan lined up for a corner kick. Both teams are in position and Maurice Edu breaks free unmarked and scores. Every US player besides Edu and Dempsey were held. Bradley was bear-hugged and Bocanegra was tackled. Coulibaly had his whistle already in his mouth waiting to blow it from 5 yards behind the play. Several replays show no possible US infraction and at least 3 possible Slovenian infractions. The worst possible thing in sports is when the officials become a factor in the match. Their job is to referee, not to be the deciding parties on wins, loses, and draws.

Andrej Komac predicted a victory. Was he in on the plot?

Also I would like to give shoutouts to the Slovenians who flopped more than Vlade Divac, Pau Gasol, and Cristiano Ronaldo combined. (i’m a Ronaldo fan so shut up) They whined and complained and stayed on the ground in fake agony the entire match. They went so far as to bring a stretcher out for a guy who simply fell on top of Dempsey at the end of the match to run out the added time. Of course Coulibaly called the match over after they took all the time getting this guy off the field. After halftime they were scared and they wanted to get off the field with points by any means necessary. In America we call you cowards. I’d implore someone to investigate Coulibaly for suspicious wire transfers because this one was fishy. FIFA won’t do anything because they never do. Ask Thierry Henry, Les Blues and the poor Irish about that.

At least Algeria drew England. We beat them and we advance.

Welcome to week 24. Shouts to Mase, The Lox, Black Rob and DMX on this one. Super thanks to Puff for not jumping on it (besides the hook) or throwing a random Biggie verse in the mix. Here’s my 24 hours to live hour by hour. Did you expect me to blow something up? Its post 9/11. Typing that lands you in jail lol. Check it out. Give feedback and enjoy the week! See you next time around.
