The album partially takes its name from Quik’s government name, David Blake. According to DubbCNN.com, Quik’s longtime collaborator, Suga Free, will be featured on the upcoming album. Since the Platinum selling Quik is the Name hit stores in 1991, DJ Quik has carved a well defined and respected niche in the rap game. With four gold and platinum albums and production work with 2Pac, Talib Kweli, Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, Janet Jackson, Tony, Toni, Tone and Dr. Dre to his credit, DJ Quik stands as one of hip-hop's most consistent artists and musicians. With a slew of Billboard Awards under his belt, this Compton, California native set the bar high for street oriented hip-hop, raising the standard with well crafted production and dense musicianship. His lyrics are always honest and straightforward and his beats stay dense and funky. Considering his conspicuous beginnings as a gangster rapper, Quik eventually transformed himself into a funk driven band leader and front man. Because of this, he has an unusually varied fanbase, from die-hard roughneck rap devotees to the most erudite backpackers and everything in-between.

SOUNDBANK STUDIO | SERVICES PROVIDED

2011-02-12T17:14:00.000-08:00

SoundBankSF was created in 2003. The studio was originally a plain room with four walls. Inside that small room "The Vault" was built. The Vault, a vocal recording isolation booth, is a very special construction with over $2000 worth of materials. The design includes a floated floor which virtually makes it a room inside a room. Two doors separate the vocalist/player from the outside. The Vault has two sets of 6-inch thick walls separated by 4-inches of air. The walls are made of dry-wall, sound boar, and thick insulation. The roof and floor also include many layers of dry-wall and sound boar. The result was a vocal booth unlike any other. When you step inside The Vault, not only can you hear the difference; you can feel it too. A perfectly serene place made especially for recording. The interior of The Vault, and the SoundBank itself, have been meticulously treated for sound to give the best absolute audio recording experience. The SoundBank has since expanded beyond that small room for a more comfortable experience. The SoundBank delivers an awesome recording experience for seasoned professionals or amateurs alike. Artists that have recorded at the SoundBank include Pep Love, Jern-Eye, John Brown, Knobody, Prince-Po, Spank Pops, and many more. Past voice over work clients include OutSpark Inc., & Ankh Marketing. Come experience the SoundBank for yourself. Reasonable rates and flexible scheduling will allow you to develop a comfort zone that will build an experience. Trust your funds with the SoundBank. We have a staff of 4 credible engineers that can provide you with the best of service. We look forward to your business.

PAC DIV @ 330 RITCH TUES OCT 26TH

2010-10-17T12:44:00.000-07:00

PAC DIV As Hip Hop attempts to regain its definition, fans have already defined it with Southern California trio, Pac Div. The group consists of brothers, Like and Mibbs, along with longtime friend BeYoung. The three came together in high school. While new talents strayed towards microwave music that trades quantity for quality, Pac Div emulated their idols native tongues and hieroglyphics to create slow-crafted conceptual music. In 2006, Pac Div released Blend Tape, a thematic mix tape combining mid-‘90s classic-inspired covers using in house production. The tracks chronicled day-jobs, trying to appeal to the fairer sex without fat pockets, restoring a Black presence in Hip Hop, and carefully coiffed wardrobes amidst the pursuit of glory. The results were jarring, the unsigned group landed on the pages of many magazines, Vapors, Skope, Urb, Source, XXL, Billboard, Rolling Stones, 944 Magazine, 8.5 and VIBE. A huge internet presence followed. Offers from major labels followed, the group found a home with Universal Motown Records and readying for their début release, Grown Kid Syndrome in summer of 2009. The album delightfully forgets the tangents rap music has taken in the mainstream and simply affirms that good music is timeless. Pac Div is crafting their album and focused on making sure their live show is well…live. The group has toured domestically and internationally with heavy hitters and tastemakers alike: Nas, Q-tip, Busta Rhymes, The Cool Kids, Ice-T, and Ludacris.During the course of the group’s development, Hip Hop superstars began to notice. With Myspace love alone, Pharrell Williams of The Neptunes reached out to affirm that Pac Div is making innovative and fun music. After that, a chance meeting with The Roots’ Questlove in a Los Angeles record store led to a passed demo – which shockingly then led to the drummer personally calling the group to also extend support. Snoop Dogg shouted out Pac Div on his “My Peoples”. Rather than crutch these endorsements on album covers and Myspace banners, the trio matter-of-factly reminded fans that this was no overnight success. California Hip Hop is restructuring in the second half of the ’00. Styles, faces, and crews may change, these three young men remind us that it is, was, and forever will be the Pacific Division. OPENING: CHOSEN FEW & RICHIE CUNNING with DJ NYCE on the 1's & 2's FREE GIVEAWAYS BY INFINITE SF!!! 18 + to ENTER, 21 + to DRINK DOOR OPEN @ 9PM $15 IN ADVANCED TICKETS ARE AVAILABLE @: HTTP://WWW.PACDIV1026.EVENTBRITE.COM/ @ 330 RITCH 360 RITCH ST.

With DJ SAKE ONE

Solange PiaSget Knowles (born June 24, 1986), who performs under the mononym Solange, is an American recording artist, actress and model. Knowles was born and raised in Houston, Texas along with her older sister singer Beyoncé, a former member of R&B group Destiny's Child. Showing an interest in music recording at an early age, she eventually broke into the music scene at 16. She has released two studios albums: Solo Star in 2003 and Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams in 2008.

Aside from recording, Knowles has ventured into film, modeling, and entrepreneurship. She co-launched the junior apparel collection Deréon, a sister line to House of Deréon that was established by her mother and sister. Knowles has been compared to her sister by the media, but she dismisses the notion, saying they are artistically different.

Microphone Fiend feat CASUAL & PEP LOVE of HIERO & ZUMBI of ZION I hosted by SAAFIR @ Mighty 7/22

2010-07-08T14:09:00.001-07:00

Microphone Fiend feat Casual & Pep Love of Hieroglyphics 1994's Fear Itself is of significance to Casual's career. It is his only major label-marketed album and features various members of his crew, Hieroglyphics, on vocals and production. The album also features a prominent cameo from Bay Area rapper Saafir. The album follows a traditional format: its songs adhere to a verse-chorus-verse arrangement, and the up-tempo and slower tracks are contrasted against each other. The popularity of the album's second single, "I Didn't Mean To" exposed Casual to a wider audience. He released three follow-up albums after "Fear Itself", one of which ("He Think He Raw") was distributed by Sony-affiliated distributor Red Urban. Casual is now a community activist. In 2006, he took on a role as Music Production and Media Arts Consultant at Youth Uprising . Casual currently holds a seat on the City of Oakland Board of Cultural Affairs. He is also CEO of Hiero Jeans. Pep Love made his recording debut on Casual's1993 release, Fear Itself. The Prose released their debut album,The Shamen in 1993. The album featured appearances from Hiero members, Del tha Funkee Homosapien and Casual. Pep Love released his solo debut album, Ascension in 2001 and Ascension Side C in 2003, through the Hieroglpyphics' self-owned, Independent label, Hieroglyphics Imperium Recordings. He also contributed significantly to both of the Hieroglyphics' studio albums, 3rd Eye Vision in 1998, and Full Circle in 2003. Hieroglyphics, also known as The Hieroglyphics Crew and Hiero, are an American underground hip hop collective based in Oakland, California. The collective was founded in the early-1990s by rapper Del tha Funkee Homosapien. The group consists of rappers from the hip-hop group Souls of Mischief including A-Plus, Tajai, Opio, and Phesto Dee as well as rappers such a Del tha Funkee Homosapien, Casual, and Pep Love. Domino is their in-house producer with A Plus performing production duties from time to time. As a group Hieroglyphics has released two albums, 3rd Eye Vision (1998), Full Circle (2003) and are rumored to be working on a third. They have also been featured on numerous compilation albums and have collaborated with the likes of Planet Asia & 9th Wonder. Hieroglyphics decided to start their own record label, called Hieroglyphics Imperium. The group has a spiritual down to earth mindset and smooth jazzy beats. They often ryme about the third eye which is featured on their logo. For those who know and understand what the third eye is about will understand the underlying messages better than those who do not. Zumbi of Zion I Zion I are a hip hop duo from Oakland, California. The duo consists of producer (& DJ), Amplive, and MC Zumbi. The group is known to its followers for Amp’s futuristic production techniques, using a mix of live instrumentation and samples, and Zumbi’s positive and socially conscious lyrics. Zion I debuted in 1997 with the locally distributed cassette-only EP Enter the Woods. Their first single on Indie label Ground Control Records (“Inner Light”) paved the way for an album deal and in 2000, they released the critically acclaimed Mind Over Matter. In total, they have released six studio albums, 2000’s Mind Over Matter, 2003’s Deep Water Slang V2.0, 2005’s True & Livin’, 2006’s Break a Dawn (a Japan exclusive), also in 2006 a collaborative album with The Grouch, Heroes in the City of Dope, and 2009’s The Take Over. Guest Host: Saafir Saafir is an emcee, producer and actor from Oakland, California. After moving from Fresno, California (the "'No") to Oakland, he lived with Tupac Shakur and became a dancer for Digital Underground. Saafir took part in one of the most notorious Bay Area rap battles, when he and members of the Hobo Junction went against Casual and members of the Hieroglyphics Crew. The battle took place live on KMEL. There has never been a real decision as to who won the battle and there is some debate as to whether or not Saafir was using pre-written raps. He first appeared on Digital Underground's The Body-Hat Syndrome in 1993, and then Casual's Fear Itself in early 1994. He appeared in the film Menace II Society as Harold Lawson and was featured on the film's soundtrack. With a deal from Qwest Records, Saafir recruited the Hobo Junction production team (J Groove, J.Z., Rational, Big Nose, and Poke Martian) for his freestyle debut, Boxcar Sessions (1994). He recorded an album called Trigonometry under the alias Mr. No No before returning as Saafir in The Hit List (1999). The Hit List was considered Saafir's attempt at commercial acceptance. The album featured production by Stevie J (made famous for his work with P. Diddy's Hitmen production team) and guest vocals from West Coast heavyweights Kam and Jayo Felony and controversial East Coast lyricist Chino XL. He largely recovered from a tumor in his spine. He's back with his old group, Hobo Junction, and has completed work on his fourth album, Good Game: The Transition (ABB Records, 2006). The album covers the major transitions throughout his life, most notably his spinal tumor, and his conversion to Islam.

Attended the Kev Choice Ensemble Tribute for "A Tribe Called Quest" the other night. The show was crazy!!! So much energy in the performers, and all the people involved. The legendary Phife Dawg made an appearance, and blessed the crowd with his lyrical skills for a couple tracks. The full band was jamming all night long to a packed house, with many other special guests hopping on a stage for a chance to pay their dues. All in all the show was great. Visuals by the Illuminati lit the place up, and gave the Down Low a killer feel. Defiantly look forward to future shows here, as well as whats in store for Kev Choice Ensemble... Make sure to vote for them in the SF WEEKLY Music Awards, ending Oct. 14th.
