Before the start of his private listening party of his new album " Cerebral Apex" I interviewed Noveliss. In-depth piece on the M.C who compares his style of rhyming to swordplay.

A good rule of thumb for concerts: If radio personality Suga Rae is the MC, it's going to be a great event.

Suga Rae opened the Juvenile concert last Friday Night at Harpos in Detroit. Suga Rae kept up the same energy and enthusiasm start to finish, without missing a beat. The roster from last Friday is no joke when it comes to the artists who were being featured. Each, in their own right, has built a fan following that is unparalleled in Hip-Hop, and most notably, they’ve been here for some time. They definitely aren’t your “flash in the pan” artists that seem to cycle through.

The icons JT Money, Brother Marquis, Cassidy, Yin Yang Twins, and Juvenile followed a couple hours of opening acts by TK, Bar Stars, and Detroit's Icon Seven The General.

The Poison Clan member, Jt Money opened his set with his classic material. The audience was of all ages, but the older hip hop heads were reciting JT's songs line by line. He went through popular Poison Clan records like the hit "Shake What Ya Mama Gave Ya", which was listed by XXL magazine as one of the top 250 hip-hop songs of the 1990s.

Up next was Brother Marquis from the legendary controversial hip hop group, 2 Live Crew. Marquis is one of the pioneers for explict lyrics, fighting censorship, and naked women on the stage. 2 Live Crew was in part, responsible for securing freedom of speech for artists. The 2 Live Crew archive was on full display. Marquis went through classic material including "Me So Horny." He stopped to take a moment to reflect on his partner in rhyme Fresh Kid Ice (Rest In Peace). Second 2 None Promoters VI Tran and Kenny Moore presented Marquis with the Hip Hop Royalty Award towards the end of his set.

The lyrical juggernaut from Philly made his way down the stairs from the dressing room. Cassidy didn't need a long introduction. He hit the stage agressive rapping razor sharp bars of new material. The new material set the tone for him to go into his hit records such as Drink & My Two Step, Hotel, and I'm a Hustler. Being a controller of the crowd Cassidy had the Dj cut the music so that he could deliver lyrics accapella to close out his set.

The wild and energetic Yin Yang Twins made their presence known. The first two songs set the tone for the rest of the night bringing with them non-stop bangers, Harpos provided the floor shaking bass. The Twins kept stage elements to a minimum and relied on their charismatic deliveries.

Time passes in the music world and we forget about the run of hits Yin Yang Twins have to their name- "Get Low", "Salt Shaker," "Wait (The Whisper Song)," "Ms. New Booty," "Badd," and "Say I Yi Yi." The Detroit crowd turned up to each of the known songs and even lesser known songs are structured similarly such that the vibe is not killed. Throughout the Yin Yang set, Kaine calmly downed a bottle of Patrón, which likely aided in the energy that was displayed on stage throughout the night. The curated set helped the performers never lose momentum and the crowd stayed upbeat and enraptured by the Yin Yang Twins performance to the very end.

Juvenile went all out as he went through a small roster of his hits. The problem with Juvie is that he’s got so many hits and fan favorites that many left feeling bad that he didn’t hit on certain tracks. He did manage to hit on some of the best though, coming out to the huge hit track “400 Degreez.” Man, how I wanted Manny Fresh to be the one on stage warming up before Juvi started. Anyways, Juvi continued going through a list including “Ha”, “Juvenile On Fire”, “Back That Azz Up”, and “Slow Motion.” He closed his set with “Gone Ride With Me” from a chair centered in the middle of the stage.

I really thought Second 2 None put on a great show, symbolizing the unity that exists in the music industry and Hip-Hop world. Together, everyone showed with this show that good music never dies.

For The Culture

In order to preserve rap's cultural function and, simultaneously, to promote artistic and commercial progress, the communities that have traditionally been the ones making the music should be the ones that control its production and distribution. Hip-hop must be recognized as a musical form and not merely a commercial trend. Hip-hop, including its history, its forms, and its social importance, should be taught in school music curriculum alongside classical music, folk music, and jazz35. The inclusion of rap in music education programs may also allow students and teachers to have an open discourse on related issues such as the relationship between rap and gangs, the presence of violence, misogyny, and homophobia in some rap songs, and the debate over musical rating and advisory systems. Hip-hop should be embraced in public school music programs as an American innovation and a way to relate student interests with curriculum. Additionally, rap could be integrated into English and language arts curriculum as a form of both poetry and drama. Allowing students to write and perform their own rap encourages them to think critically, to practice writing in the narrative form, to increase vocabulary, and to develop an understanding of rhyme and rhythm.

In this piece I want to introduce to you ASDR

Who is ASDR?

ASDR (All Songs Done Right) is a Michigan-bred hip-hop duo patiently creating something fresh yet nostalgic for real hip-hop lovers and music enthusiast everywhere. They intelligently capture the pure essence of old school hip-hop, R&B, and soul with a youthful hardcore energy while using classic samples to create and develop beats for any ear’s enjoyment. It’s clear ASDR is on a mission to help bring real hip-hop music back to your speakers, one track at a time.

In a style, all their own, ASDR Music's Da'Shonte Riley "Tae" and Anthony Strickland II "Strick" are hip-hop's newest dynamic duo. The pair met on the court while playing basketball for Eastern Michigan University. As fate would have it, away games often paired the two as roommates where Tae discovered Strick's rapping skills and Strick encouraged Tae to pursue making beats. It was from this partnership, ASDR Music was formed.

"The Rhymes "

Anthony "Strick" Strickland II was born In Detroit, Michigan and raised in Willow Run Michigan. Strick had dreams of becoming a teacher and graduated with a degree in History from Eastern Michigan University. But life had a different plan and instead of molding young minds in a classroom, Strick found himself working a dead-end job for $10.50 an hour at the plant. It was this struggle that led Strick on the path to music.

"The Beats"

Da' Shonte "Tae" Riley was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. Tae graduated from Eastern Michigan University with a degree in communications. After some encouragement from Strick during conversations they had during away games, Tae decided to start making beats. Shortly after he became the DR to ASDR Music.

When Tae is not in the studio making beats you can find him on the court playing for the Idaho Stampedes.
