"A Day In The Life Of A Hip Hop Heroine"

Top of the World did their thang as usual! They were on some real Hollyhood shit! LOL! As I previously mentioned, there was a runway and you know they made use of it. LOL! Amadaye, Finny, Swann and Jay Boogie (who is not a rapper!! LOL!) always bring a lot of energy to performances. Damn near the whole right side of the stage was there reppin for T.O.W. Boogie, I loved the hot pink on black T's......where is mine? I'll take a large. I've seen these guys perform numerous times before so I had no doubt that they would do well, but I often wonder if I'm just biased (I genuinely like them all as men). After seeing the satisfied looks on the people's faces...I can now say without a shadow of a doubt that these guys have something special. - Courtney Wheeler - Streetz Magazine

Another Busy Weekend


What up, all?! I'm recooping from yet another busy weekend.

Friday - Went to check out the cool fellas of TOP OF THE WORLD RECORDS (Big shoutout to JAY BOOGIE! ). They did a HOT set and the Top of the World tees were all over. Good look fellaz! *waiting for my press kit* ... Though I was there for my peeps, Juevnile was the headliner. He put on a better show than I expected.

Top Of The World Records - The Grand Opening

This here is a label comp showcasing the roster of Top Of The World Records: Amadaye, Swan Grace, Black and Gutz [A.K.], Diano, IB, Finney, and Kariz. Amadaye's been featured on Street Radio and On Da Grind mixtapes, and I got a preview of a few tracks from his album, Ghetto Soul, which is coming out later this year. Swan's performing at 5 Seasons on March 2nd. Check out their MySpace page for more info and audio.

Amadaye - "Field Of Dreams" (mp3)
Amadaye's voice reminds me of someone, I think it's T3 from Slum Village. I like some of the jazzy beats on here, sax loops and stuff, I kind of get an old school backpacker vibe off of some of it.

Black and Gutz [A.K.] - "Fight Klub" (mp3)
This might be the song I'm feeling the most on the CD, the beat's just got this forward momentum to it, it's hot. And I like the way they keep switching off back and forth between the 2 MCs.

Bio

Amadaye rose to prominence on the Hip Hop scene by
dropping lyrics
that feed the heart, mind and soul of its listeners.
Born Ramsey
Brown on October 1, 1979 in the Dundee Village area of
Baltimore,
Maryland, being humble is the best way to describe
his beginning. A member of several groups before
branching out on his own in 1994,
Amadaye long ago gained a reputation as a hardworker
and engaging
performer. By taking the road less traveled and
choosing to delve
deeper for subject matter, he hopes to be able to tap
into that market
that values lyrical content over sensationalism.

A mature soul, Amadaye aims to make music that "talks
to you like an
uncle that has been through a few things in life."
The lyrically
conscious MC has never been afraid to expose his
heart, mind, and
vulnerabilities on a track. After performing in a
seemingly infinite
amount of freestyle ciphers, open mics, talent shows,
and various
venues in and around the city of Baltimore (as well as
a mini-tour
that reached Florida), he set out to make a name for
himself as a solo
performer. Having lent his smooth-flowing raps to a
variety of
musical projects over the years, he has gained the
respect of those in
the burgeoning mid-Atlantic music circuit. 2004's
Wire Mix tape
helped to generate a regional buzz and thus heightened
the
anticipation for his full release.

Winter 2006 marks the release of Ghetto Soul, his
long-anticipated
debut LP. A culmination of his artistic abilities,
Amadaye displays
the incontestable versatility and raw talent that sets
him apart from
the rest. A genre defying compilation, Ghetto Soul,
plans to recapture
the love that many of the true Hip Hop enthusiasts
have lost over the
years as the quality of the music has declined. A
fusion of jazz,
spoken word, live instrumentation, and Hip Hop, the
synergy between
the sounds makes for a unique, genre crossing musical
experience.
Comprising the spine-tingling harmonies of the title
track, "Ghetto
Soul"; the relentless, rapid-fire punch lines of
"Starving" and "Still
I Rise"; the unabashed wit and comedy of "She Says",
and the
breathtaking beauty of the true story "Inspiration",
the CD shatters
the mold of conventional hip-hop, taking the music to
the levels that
many aspire, but lack the fortitude to actually
achieve. Influenced by
a diverse range of artists – Sade, Curtis Mayfield,
Gil Scott, Common,
and Nas his own style is reflective of such, a melting
pot of styles,
perspectives and sounds. Going back to his music
roots, the resulting
product is reminiscent of the 90's when hop veterans
like P-Rock and
CL smooth, Gang Starr would infuse equals amounts of
spirit and
harmony with their banging Hip Hop beats. The
ever-changing MC
displays a "genuineness" that is refreshing when
compared to the
pretentiousness that seems to be so popular today.

Combining emotion, God-given talent and artistic
innovation, Ghetto
Soul is set to awaken hip-hop with a distinctively old
world sound.
Following the words of the teacher, KRS-1, "Rap is
something you do,
Hip Hop is something you live", the multi-talented
artist breathes new
life into a dwindling art form, taking the reigns in
the pursuit of
the dream that once represented Hip Hop. "Hip Hop is
part of my soul".
