The Super Soldiers Program

The Super Soldier Program deals with disenfranchised teens who are eager to break into the local Hip Hop scene. The intake of referals stems from a local social working net work.

The program strives to have a client write, produce and record their own track and if time permits an array of songs can be made. When these songs are finally completed as a sense of graduation, the client's song will be presented on line utilising the same avenues used by the program's hosts Venomous mic technicians.

The program is collectively co-ordinated by Venomous Mic Technicians, who are a local underground Hip Hop group.

LewzTheryn acts as the head co-ordinator and engineer of the recording process of the SSP project.

Shadow Mindset is the assistant co-ordinator for the program and is the head engineer of the 'beat assembly' aspect of the project.

Prodagina acts as the admin officer for the project.

Featuring Tyson Tyler:
Born in Australia but raised in South Auckland, Fijian blooded Tyson has worked hard to perfect his chosen craft. From the age of 15 he has been writing and producing his own music, at 17 he was accepted to attend the Dawnraid “Str8 From Tha Streetz 2” music programme, solidifying his choice to become an entertainer. Graduating the course three months later with his first professionally recorded song from the course “South Auckland Anthem” co-produced by Chong Nee, the song became somewhat of an underground classic, forging an early impression in the young talents career.

Tyson independently released two mix-tapes in 2004. Whilst working on the third, his rugged vocal tone and demanding delivery caught the ear of Breakin Wreckwordz head Cyphanetik. Before long he had became the newest and youngest recruit to join the BWW roster. He released the mix-tapes “Dooms Day” with DJ CXL and “Real Name No Gimix” with DJ Truent, as well as appearing heavily on the “Breakin Wreckwordz Vol.2 - It's A Monster” album. He has collaborated with local artists Young Sid, Ethical, R.E.S, Temple Jones, Pieter.T and international artists Kardinal Offishall, Monsta Ganjah, Alfamega and toured nationally

FUNK VILLAINS is a newly formed super group outta Htown which consists of members from 3 crews...Hitz & Kortaz (FV), N.I & Z.O (FZV), Koma & SMV (FCS) with DJ Impact on the one's & two's performing brand new material & a new mixtape droppin' the same day as SS3.

I guess beef is dead.... 50 Killed it.

Damn.

The next day the Fabo and SB beef done finished already, what a waste of time that was. Publicity.... yeah .. like i said in the original post.

If your anything like me ... you must be thinking Fabolous got shook when 50 started talking murder talk.

Hah

Meanwhile, 50's twitter is hilarious and dude cant keep off the shit!

Tuesday, September 7, 2010

Who said beef was dead?

And just when you thought beef was dead. Rappers find another way to bring it beef back to life. This time in the form of Twitter.

But this shit is entertaining as hell as you get to watch it unfold between 2 well established industry artists who throw mud at eachother and to further butter the bread, other established artists want to put in their 2 cents like its high school crush.

For the 411 of what went down you need to check Fabolous and Souljaboys twitter accounts, I dont know how this shit started I just been looking through my tweets and watching Royce Da 5 9 and Skillz commentate on whats goin on like its a Heavyweight championship boxing match. Mean while 50 Cent is jumping in (when he supposed to be away from twitter for the next 7 days making his album) sayin dont fuck with SouljaBoy and talking about how niggas gone end up dead talkin this shit. Fabo is startin trending topics about about SB coke habit. And Souljaboy ... well ... I'm not following that dude so I dont know whats up...

Meanwhile, both SB and FABOs album drops in November... *cough*publicity*cough*. But something good does come out of this ... Skillz announced he has his inspirations for this years Yearly Wrap Up seemingly from the twitter beef.

On another note, Wyclef is getting all sensitive about not being able to run for president and dogging Sean Penn and his former partner in rhyme Pras. These two both said they wont back Wyclef in a presidential election for Haiti and they both had their (valid) reasons. Word is Clef was calling out Penn for being a coke head (like souljaboy) and Pras for only doing 8 bars in the entire Fugees album collection in a remix track played live.

I dont know about you, but if I was trying to run for president of a country I wouldn't start picking on celebrities who have any sort of influence on the public. Politians beefing with politicians is fine but politicians vs celibrities does not end up well.

My 2 cents..

I aint even gonna bother editing this post or nothing. I'll treat this post for what it is ... boredom.

Dr Dre - Turn Me On (Another Weak Leak)

If you want to hear the song.... google it.

It's starting to seem that the long (no longer awaited but) delayed 'Detox' has become a year and a half slow drip from the ceiling annoying more people than its pleasing. Have you tried sleeping next to a slow inconsitent drip? I haven't but I'm sure that shit pisses people off. It's one drip away from chinese water torture and thats what this has become. Every couple of months an incomplete Detox nominee leaks and people complain about how the album is never coming out. Shit, even I am doing it right now. I know that pushing back albums is the trend for hiphop right now but Dre is taking it to another level.

All we are hearing is sub-par incomplete tracks. When the leaks 1st started, I heard a couple good joints with TI rapping what would be Dre's verses that would have been dope to hear complete and on an actual album, shit a compilation or a soundtrack would have been okay. Even the crack a bottle leak that had Eminem doing the verses in Dre's tone sounded better than the final version that hit the radio. But now I am hearing some weak shit with this 'Turn Me On' track. In all aspects of music this song aint hitting anything, either that or I am getting old.

I never got to hear the last leak 'Under Pressure' because it got flooded with hate, Dre said it was incomplete and he will release the proper version in a few weeks. That was months ago and I still havent seen shit so I still havent heard it. This was around the same time he was promoting his 'beats by dre' headphones and announcing 'detox will be coming out this year' followed by a chuckle. The dude is laughing at how long this shit is taking him. Then he announces a date, just to be pushed back again and someone mysteriously leaks another song.

But why leak this song?
I just hope and prey this song is not gonna be on detox and/or unfinished rather than a 'snippet' because what I have heard is terrible. With Lyrics like "I want to F*** you so bad right now" and "Every time you step into the room, OMG!" Seriously, girls singing some OMG shit like mid-forties dre is trying to make on some 14 year olds. Then Dre's rap style, probably ghostwrote by Jigga is sounding like a british 14 year old wanting to be Dre. The beat is meh. It sounds like granddaddy dre is trying to cater to the Justin Biebers with edge.

This shit aint gonna work but I have been wrong before... look at Drakes success.

5 Mics Announced

Congratulations to Bun B on winning the 5 mics for his album Trill OG

As you can see from my previous post about the 5 mics., I have not heard the album so I can not make an opinion on whether this is a worthy 5 Mics like Illmatic or a 'WTF' rating like Lil Kim. But I am definately going to check it out. I am a Bun B fan and I know Uncle S will be celebrating this one.

1st 5 mics in 5 years

If you don't know what the coveted 5 mics are then you aint hip-hop. Thats fact. 


If your album got the 5 mics you become legend. The rarity of the 5 mics were reserved for classics such as Illmatic, Life After Death, The Blueprint. So rare infact you can count the amount on your fingers and toes, thats not counting the time The source decided to go back in time and award a bunch of classics with 5 mics to rectify their mistakes. 


As time moved on The Source lost its respect and tried to reclaim its position in Hip-hop but not quite able to get back on top. 


It seems now in order for The Source to gain new subscribers they would like to remind hip-hop heads of the 5 mics of awarding an album with 5 mics. The first album to be awarded 5 mics in 5 years. This certainly caught my attention and I thought I should put in my 2 cents as a hip-hop fan.


Below is a list showing my opinions and reasons why the nominees should and should not win.


Note that these views are solely mine and are not that of my partners in rhyme VMT. 


Big Boi - Sir Lucious Left Foot
Why It Will Win: The closest to a outkast album we got in a long time and a good album with the classic outkast style that every loves. This is my favourite album of the year so far the only thing that is missing is ...
Why It Wont Win: Andre 300 isn't on it


Drake - Thank Me Later
Why It Will Win: Rookie of the year. Some Lyrical Skill, an Emcee praised by the likes of Eminem, Jay Z, Kweli. The Source may think to get more subscribers to keep up with the trend of what is happening right now and Drake seems to be it. 
Why It Wont Win:  Dude sings too much and lets be honest. Thank Me Later is no Illmatic debut.


Eminem - Recovery
Why It Will Win: Lyrical genius and The Source owe him from the Benzino saga (Look it up if you don't know). I do like this album, especially the first 2 Joint. 
Why It Wont Win: This is hard to say really... because Pink is on the album? This is not my favourite album in the list although lyrically eminem is great this is too commercial for my liking. 


Rick Ross - Teflon Don:
Why It Will Win: Officer Ricky is in fashion at the moment and has the backing of Diddy (probably paying the Source for him to win)
Why It Wont Win: The Album Sucks.


Fat Joe - The Darkside Vol 1
Why It Will Win: The Album has some bangers and is far superior then Joes last album. Joey CRACK has solidified himself in the game as a legend.
Why It Wont Win: Just not 5 mic worthy


The Roots - How I Got Over
Why It Will Win: Publicity stunt by the source to get Questloves twitter followers to buy source magazines if he wins if they win. The album itself is pretty good too
Why It Wont Win: 4 - 4.5 Mics


Bun B - Trill O.G
Why It Will Win: I haven't had a chance to hear this album so I cant comment
Why It Wont Win: Because I have'nt heard it.


Again, these are just my views and if you disagree you can have your say in the voters pole here

More Music, More Shows, More FM











Wats up everyone,


I know its been a while since I updated this spot but there is a valid reason.

I got married a little while back and been on honey moon living the baller life for a short ammount of time and enjoying it while I can. I even got me a iced out marc ecko watch (probably fake) coz I felt so baller/shot-caller. Telling room service what, when and how. VIP sections in shows and so on... but alas, that time is over and ow I am back to balling on a budget and have bills to pay. My phone bill is 2 months behind and my internets bill is just scraping by, and power bill... well the lights are barely on.

I got my priorities straight tho. The internets must be paid before anything else, I need to be on the internets to contact the VMT/VIPER SQUAD/Ta'Veren bretheren and even if i run out of power, I got a laptop and a cellphone with battery to keep in touch via twitter, facebook myspace and bebo (Scratch myspace and bebo). That being said the bills are on their way to getting paid and along with the bills the music is due to be made.


Slip of the tongue has a gang of work he wants to lay with tonnes of features all to be set for his "The Trouble with Vin" ep (more likely to be an LP), VIPER SQUAD mixtape is ready to be mixed - I just need to get off my lazy ass and master the vocals and send to the DJ. My solo "Life is short and so is this album" is 90% finished, I am just waiting on one more beat for one more track and will be all completed for your listening pleasure. And VMT is all a part of it. I am getting hit up to hurry up and do the music video from our money man. Which should definately be in the works depending on the myself and the group.



In the mean time, here a couple of shows up and coming if you wanna hang out have a sip and nod heads with us. We will be in hamilton shortly and up in auckland for the first day of NZ music month. Check the above pics for details.

Inside the Mothership

I think it's about time someone gave time to honoring those involved with what we are striving to achieve, it is the Christmas season after all.

What you are about to experience is a charater refference of each member of the Venomous Mic Technicians. The my aim is to give insight into what is otherwise a discrete organisation, as it is the supporters who deserve such a service.... they are, after all, the reason we do what we do.

LewzTheryn:

Also known as Eon, I Like Knivez, Uncle Joog Joog and Thug Jesus.

To describe Lewz accurately would be to use the human anatomy as a metaphore, namely the heart. The heart ensures the human body is distributed with the correct elements in order to function.... this is and always has been LewzTheryn's role. His style of rhyme is incomparable and it is impeccable. As the founding father of Venomous Mic Technicians he has managed to lead when needed and follow when expected. With a stable name in the H-Town Hip Hop scene Lewz has managed hold his posistion accordingly.


The Krippled Kemist:

Also known as The Handsome Monkey King, The Sexiest Man in New Zealand Hip Hop and Ace Mc Cloud last of the Centurians.

With a wise word and a maniacle mindset, the Kemist has managed to become the brain child of a considerable amount of material VMT has released. Alot of the earlier workings were the products of rants and raves the Kemist come up with during a drinking session. He has become the adhesive that keeps the team together in times of hard goings and maintains a massive respect by his peers. Having the Kemist's ability to deal with a situation thoroughly in mind, the Kemist would play the part of the brain of the human body. The kemist's rhymes style is explosive and not for the faint hearted in other words if he didn't have your attention before you heard him.... you soon will.

S.J:

Also known as S, Uncle S, S.J Montana, Montana, Koro and Roro.

S has supported the VMT franchise for a number of years and has been the greatest pusher of material to date. Taking time out of a ultimately busy schedule to help set up a facility which is now known as "The Kitchen", S has managed to solidify his place in the VMT camp. Though S is not an Emcee by any means he is no less the VMT 'go to guy'. Using once again the human anatomy metaphore S would would be the spinal colomn, holding the structure up right and stern..... chuuch!

Slip of the tongue:

Also known as Thuggy Bear, Mr. Good Kat, Vin Dog and The Magnificent Ruffian.

Serving as a direct plug-in to the streets Slip of the tongue brings the hood element to the table. Slip of the tongue's aim is to keep them ghetto ears listening and he does this to the best of his ability. He utelizes an array of punchlines as his arsenal of lyricizm and has perfected his recognisable formular. Seen as the knucklehead of the team, Slip of the tongue would be considered the balls part of the human anatomy metaphore.


V.I.P.E.R Squad testimonials coming soon....
