I went to see C Plus open for Wale tonight at Empire. With support from Illecism, fellow State Cap member AV, 5th Ave (Delorean), and DJ Oasis, this dude put on one hell of a set.

Scarub and Wale followed, and although I didn’t get it on tape, Wale dropped his soon-to-be infamous freestyle dissing the Sonic guy. Overall a pretty good night.

Lots of things going on in the world of hip hop over the past several days, locally and otherwise.

First, I saw State Cap and DBL perform last weekend at Picnic Day…they put on a great show.

Thank thee Lawd…the Clipse blessed us with their first track off of Til the Casket Drops yesterday – “Kinda Like a Big Deal” featuring Kanye, and produced by DJ Khalil.

Check out the track at the Play Cloth’s blog. Speaking of Play Cloths, we still have a very limited amount of Spring 09 items left.

Also be sure to check out JoEL’s new mixtape, The Director’s Cut, and Chase’s new Steroids mixtape.

Watch the whole video, but the 3:00 mark is a must see.
