Joell Ortiz x Sean Price x Troy Ave Perform At S.O.B.’s

One reason why I wish I lived in NYC: everyday there’s a rap show. Here’s one…from Dallas Penn:

Joell Ortiz hosted a legendary night of underground Hip-Hop at the classic NYC nightclub SOBs. Sean Price tore it down. JuJu from the Beatnuts did his thing. Up and coming underground emcee Troy Ave caught wreck. Mostly it was just a dope night with Brooklyn’s best rappers keeping Hip-Hop from the streets alive.

Shyheim Speaks On Decoded Mention

On page 39 of Jay-Z’s memoir Decoded, Hov discusses wanting Wu-Tang affiliate Shyheim The Rugged Child for “Coming Age” on Reasonable Doubt. Ultimately, Shyheim passed on the offer. Damn, I know he wishes he did it now. But anyway, at a bus stop in Staten Island, Shy speaks on his mention in the book. Decoded hits bookstores November 16th.
