Pharoache Monch says P.T.S.D

Pharoache Monch is the name that any die hard hip hop fan recognizes instantly and he is the one that Eminem recently called the Rap God. Having gone through many decades of hip hop, he has his own opinion what is going wrong today in the music industry, and he is not ashamed to say it aloud.

His lyrics and work is always authentic, of which he is proud of and what we, as fans, would not want to change.

" I love the process of creating music and I love the process of being MC. I'm still trying to learn and still trying to grow as MC and artist, so to speak. And I just love pushing my self creatively, so I still have managed to stay away from the bs that is the music industry policy. I let my manager to handle that part and try to stay focused on being creative." he states on Sway in the Morning Show.

No sleep till Brooklyn!

There are few left who do not need an interview and who are known just because they were there when it all started. One of these legends is King Dome, the man who whiteness the birth of hip hop at first hand, right there in it's mecca, Brooklyn NY! 

Having rolled with the biggest names in the industry, this man knows what he is talking about, hip hop is not just music, it's a life style that younger audience has never really experienced in the way it touches the old school souls. 

King Dome is peace loving, always chilled and a massive Knicks fan, born and bread Brooklyn dude, without a doubt with the endless love to his home town. He lives, breaths and loves hip hop and is spreading the love to the rest of the world through his own radio station King Dome Radio. Running four stations is a busy life full of music with a taste for everyone: there is a selection of old school, Gospel, something for more modern taste buds and then the ever greens. Love to the music is in his blood.
" Radio allows me to do things the way I want to do them without anyone looking over my shoulder. I have a unique chance to play my favorite Gospel music and spread the hip hop I grew up with.  Music puts me into the zone of feeling the freedom.  "

" Me being one of the Brooklyns' first families to start hip hop in Bushwick Brooklyn, I was raised by the hip hop culture. My brother started with the disco stomper a 70's disco group. He would throw jams in the parks. People have seen, in the park was Eddie Murphy and Charlie, because they lived up the block. You might see Bushwick Bill or Scarface drinking of fourty ounces of beer. There were many. Those were the days. "

" I am glad to be a pioneer of hip hop and glad those who enjoyed my stage entertainment as well as the craft of writing rhymes. I had fun and memories of a life time. Just me and Biggie in a cypher of  rhyming. In 1986 I went to graphics  high school in Manhattan, NY already writing rhymes. You might see RnB singer Gerald Maxwell singing to the ladies in a class room, because their teacher was out.  The family boot camp click Sean Price, Tek & Steele were going there too. They would stand outside my class, so I can get a bathroom pass and we could rhyme in the bathroom. We would have some one banging a beat on the wall by the toilet. I would stay for a minute but I had to get back to the class. That was the birth of a lot of greatness. "

" When RZA talks in his rhyme about P.S 309 in bed stuy, he is referring to the battle contest my family used to have in the early 80's."

King Dome Radio is not just offering the entertainment for free online, it also gives a chance to the underground artists to get their work heard and appreciated. Promotion is the key to any starting artist and this man understands the value of radio; what better way to spread the beats around than have them on air pumping to the whole wide world.

The Ultimate Life for The Ultimate Warrior

Almost every 80's child knows who he is and what he did. The excitement on the Sunday night when WWF took over commercial TV channels and we would see the most colourful characters in the TV history. We all had our own favourites, we saluted the good ones, and booed the bad ones. It was and still is every boys dream at some point, part of the popular culture today and it was one important part of the birth of super heroes.

Sadly, one of our heroes have now moved on to the ring in heaven. Comments as " I can't believe that he is dead" can be seen all over the internet.

So what made him famous?

His bright face paints were unmistakable sign that he was in the house, he took on Hulk Hogan and ended the Hulkmania, he put the Undertaker to the body bag in front of thousands and he made Bobby Heenan to wear a weasel suite. And if you think this was something, he actually changed his name to Warrior 1993, of which name his wife and children still carry today.

The Ultimate Warrior was born James Brian Hellwig on June 16, 1959 in Crawfordsville, Indiana. He was the eldest of five children and was raised by his single mother, and later on by his step father. He started training with weights at 11 years old as he described him self as "the small, insecure kid, who wasn't into any sports."  Body building bug got him hooked up after he moved to California and met bodybuilder Robby Robinson. He took part on several contests and was worked his way all the up to Mr. Georgia title and placing the 5th in 1985's Junior USA. From there on he accepted the invitation to become a professional wrestler.

Before becoming The Ultimate Warrior he fought as Jim "Justice" Hellwig of Powerteam USA and The Freedom Fighters. Between 1985 to 1987 he worked his way up to World Class Championship Wrestling and debuted as Warrior in Dallas. The Ultimate Warrior was born after his promoter McMahon had him to do a pre-taped promo as The Ultimate Warrior. During this time he did several TV ads for Westway Ford and was seen in a full wrestling costume with Westway's "Mean Joe Greed" character. He joined WWF in June 1987.

During his colorful carrier in WWF, The Ultimate Warrior has been locked into a coffin, he has entered the room of snakes and he has been buried alive. His feuds with The Undertaker and Jake " The Snake " Roberts were breath taking and dangerous putting his life into a real danger after been bitten by a spitting cobra. He has certainly given everyone a value of their money by beating these challenges. He was suspended from the ring after the SummerSlam 1991 but entered the ring again 1992. The season was short as he was allegedly attached with the rumours of using steroids and he semi retired 1992 but again returned 1996. He retired from wrestling 1998.

2014, Wrestlemania XXX, he was given the place in the WWE Hall of Fame. Two days later, he gave a speech at Monday Night Raw. Sadly, 24 hours later, whilst walking with his wife, he collapsed and was pronounced dead in the nearby hospital. 

He was ranked as the most colourful character in the wrestling and he is remembered by many, as one of their favourites. We, as fans, will miss him dearly. May God rest his soul. 

"No WWE talent becomes a legend on their own. Every man's heart one day beats its final beat. His lungs breathe their final breath. And if what that man did in his life makes the blood pulse through the body of others and makes them believe deeper in something larger than life then his essence, his spirit, will be immortalized. By the story tellers, by the loyalty, by the memory of those who honor him and make the running the man did live forever. You, you, you, you, you, you are the legend makers of Ultimate Warrior. In the back I see many potential legends. Some of them with warrior spirits. And you will do the same for them. You will decide if they lived with the passion and intensity. So much so that you will tell your stories and you will make them legends, as well. I am Ultimate Warrior. You are the Ultimate Warrior fans. And the spirit of the Ultimate Warrior will run forever!"

JaggLife looking the life on the both sides of the streets

From Detroit, MI comes a hip hop group that does not build cars, but rocks the stages. Members Dyna'mic, H3, Joey Styles, Vnmz Atu and, The One and Owney have made their name in Motown, and they are looking to expand their success further. Grown in a tight community, these men have taken the family business to the whole new level and built up something to talk about. The boys would like to collaborate with Rick Rubin and Timberlan one day, which would be the natural extension of the list they have performed with.  

Me: Tell me about JaggLife. How did you guys get together and what motivated you into the music? What does Jagg Life stand for?

JaggLife: JaggLife - Jagg - Jamming Automatic Grove.  We added the extra G to keep it G.  Years later we decided that the group had evolved and deserved a new name. Life was added to represent a unique way of life that we would embody in our music. We all consist of family! There are 2 brothers, Joey Styles and H3, then a cousin, Dyna'mic and, a neighbor from from the down street, The One and Owney and, Vnmz Atu.

Me: Tell me about your past history in music. What have you done so far and who have you been performing with? 

JaggLife: Most of the members Jagglife started rapping in high school.  Battle rapping, going to studios, performing at talent shows, etc. Jagglife has released countless underground singles leading up to an official first LP release titled "Balancing Act".  We have performed with Eminem before he blew-up, D12, King Gordy, Slum Village, and other artists.  

Me: Who is your inspiration in music? And why?

JaggLife: Eminem, because he is one of the best lyricist ever, 50 cent, because of his whole art form which stood above most during his prime, Biggie Small - because of the image barriers he broke down by being so successful and arguably one of the best MC's to rock the mic, Run DMC - because of the doors that they opened in the industry for hip hop. 

Me: How do you see the music now a days? What has hip hop culture to offer for people and to you as a group? 

JaggLife: Hip Hop is widely accepted and infused into pop, rock, jazz, and other genres.  Hip Hop embodies real life; whether the most darkest places of the world, or the most lavish places of the world, and everything in between.  For Jagglife, this means we has a "pass" to talk about urban "feel good" topics, and "street" influences. 

Me: What is your message as a performing group? How would you like your work to touch people? 

JaggLife: Keep a balance in life. The journey we call life is a rocky path littered with jewels and bear traps.

Me: What are your goals/ambititions in music?

JaggLife: Continue to grow lyrically, and find ways to increase our entertainment value by producing better live show, music, and albums.

Me: What would you say to the young starting artists about the music industry? If you could give one advise, what would that be?

JaggLife: Find your own sound....never try to immolate.

Me: Would you tell me a little bit about your release history and do you have any new material coming out 

JaggLife:Balancing Act is our proud first and only release.  We are currently considering releasing a compilation of our underground singles on a album.

Me: where can people reach you? Any performances coming up?
