I have been given another great opportunity to write an article about HIP HOP and the Movement. The title I was given to write about is the love of Hip Hop. I thought it would be a great idea to reach out to Unsigned Artist and get your view on hip hop and your love for it. The editor that I am working with wants me to go on the question "WHEN DID YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH HIP HOP?". The question was asked on the movie "Brown Sugar". So if you get a chance hit me up on my blog or at airykakane@gmail.com and let me know When You Fell in Love With Hip Hop, send me a link to your website along with a pic. I will be putting the pic and the link along with your answers in the article. It is a great opportunity for exposure, the articles will be place in entertainment newspaper around the states. I will also place the articles on my all of my sites. My deadline is May 15th, so hit me up. You don't have to be an artist, you can just be a fan.

AIRYKA’S MIC BOOTH - 10th April 2009
The Hip Hop buzz in North Carolina is stronger than ever. Hip Hop is definitely here to stay. With new mixtapes and albums debuting soon, the fierce emcees in North Carolina is ready for the world, and they are coming at you in full blast. We want the world to know that North Carolina is representing. Our featured emcee this week is the Hip Hop revolutionist Seven (Young Bunchy Carter).
Seven, aka Young Bunchy Carter, has been a force to be reckoned with on the underground Hip-Hop scene since his debut in 1996. As one-half of the NC duo The Nobodies, he has toured with and opened for some of the realest artists around including KRS-One, Queen Latifah, The Roots, Jay-Z, CNN, De La Soul and countless others.
Seven had an unprecedented 18-month run as freestyle champ of local Hip-Hop station 102 Jamz. After finally bowing out, he went on to conquer many of the most talented flowers in NC in a flurry of battles stretching from Wilmington to Boone.
Now on the verge of finally getting the love and the loot due to him, Seven has aligned himself with underground stalwart label Domination Recordings and released the blazing new EP Ridin' High. With production from Midi.Marc, Keelay and DJ Forge, along with guest appearances from Equinox, Supastition and A.P., the project is a sure-fire sign that Hip-Hop is indeed alive. Get your coy today on i-tunes or e-music, and be on the lookout for Soulja Music Vol. 3: Da Revolution, mixed by Seven's personal DJ, DJ J.Lone.
Check out and listen to Seven on the KryKey Personal Web Radio station Desert One Las Vegas (www.krykey.com/PublicRadio.aspx?Key=106) or at http://www.myspace.com/nobodies7 or http://www.siremusicgroup.org/
Let’s continue to support real Hip Hop, because after all it is not just a genre, but a Cultural Movement.

Airyka’s Mic Booth
5th April 2009
Some say hip hop is dead, but in North Carolina it is very much alive. Although Hip Hop in NC is somewhat opposed by many conservatives because of the popular belief that hip hop is centered around drugs and violence, Emcees in NC strive to use hip hop in a positive way, proving that hip hop’s social impact is not all negative. NC is filled with dope emcees that can and will restore your faith in hip hop.
The south is overrun with talent, but hailing out of N.C comes the next lyrical prodigy. Rowdee Methodz doesn’t follow your everyday backpacker’s mantra. He delivers ethereal swaggers over gutter beats. With mix tapes and albums coming, there is no doubt as to who will be the next underground emcee to rise above sea level. He is an artist that can go from the hardest of block bangers to the illest life stories.
Born in Winston- Salem, NC and raised between Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia, Rowdee was influenced by early Hip Hop like KRS ONE, Big Daddy Kane, and Kool G Rap. He finally honed his own style which can only be described as unorthodox. Rowdee did a seven year stint in prison in 1999. After being release he began performing venues such as Somewhere Else Tavern in Greensboro, NC, Peppers in High Point, NC, Ziggys and the Millennium Center in Winston Salem, NC, he has also opened up for the Ruff Rider’s DMX. With his new album Haterz Buffet due to release in June of this year, look for Rowdee to make waves in the industry, just don’t catch a cold in his draft as he shoots by on his way to the top.
You can hear him currently on the web radio stations “Oz Radio”, "Desert One" and “WCUT Radio” on KryKey Personal Web Radio.
Stay tuned as we get to know more dope emcees from North Carolina.

I decided to write the blog because a friend and I had a conversation about hip hop and what is wack and what isn’t and I told him that I like some of Lil’ Wayne’s music it makes me dance. He thinks that it’s garbage and that is his opinion. He made a statement that he does not deal with emcee’s he rolls with lyricist.
Well the definition of a lyricist is a writer of lyrics. Emceeing is the “rhythmic spoken delivery of rhymes and wordplay, delivered over a beat or without." Now when I think of emcees, I think of people like Melle Mel, he is a rapper/lyricist but he was credited with being the first rap lyricist to call himself an emcee. Now by no means am I saying that the songs on the radio in my opinion can compare to Melle Mel, Kool Herc, Afika Bambaataa, Grandmaster Flash, Kool G. Rap, Doug E. Fresh, Biz Markie just to name a few, they are pioneers. In my opinion no one can touch that. They made their mark on hip hop, just like T.I , Jay-Z, Biggie, Pac, Talib Kweli, J-Dilla, Madlib, they all made their mark and still are making their mark.
So what if you think certain songs are wack. You may think that you are the dopest emcee out there, but there is someone out there who doesn’t feel the same way, so when you are trying to make your mark on hip hop, do it with your music. If you think the music is wack then show them what you think hip hop should be. D-nice said it best in the song Self Destruction”To teach to each is what rap intended.” A lot of young people today don’t know about the pioneers, they don’t know the history. Let’s teach em. If an up and coming emcee hits you up and you don’t like their music give constructive criticism.
Nothing is the same in this world. Hip Hop has evolved; there is gangsta rap, crunk, hip house, hip hop soul, acid rap, Christian rap, and many more. Hip-hop has so many sub genres, it is truly a Movement. In the words of Ms. Melodie ” The enemy knows, they're no fools, Because everyone knows that hip-hop rules, So we gotta get a grip and grab what's wrong,The opposition is weak and rap is strong." Make a mark on Hip Hop, be a pioneer of your time.

Some say hip hop is dead, but I've come across a few artists that could resurrect it. Rowdee Methodz without a question is one of the most versatile unsigned artists that I have met. His most outstanding quality is he doesn’t try to outshine other artist, he is just Rowdee. Watching him in the studio he spits so viciously, that other emcees shake their head in awe and know that they have to come correct. He brings out the best in others. You feel him in every song he writes, his stage presence is superb, and he keeps you rockin. With songs like The Rowdiest, Old Skool Feel and my personal favorite Poztyoumuzt, he is no doubt the Ultimate Real. Check out Rowdee Methodz~the Carolina Messiah at

Airyka: Do you think your music has evolved since you started?
Rowdee: Most definitely, anything you do on a consistent basis you get better at.
