Big Track Of The Week, Christmas Eve Edition

This isn't the newest track out, but it is guaranteed to keep you warm in this cold weather. "Hands High" will be on Cesar Comanche's upcoming album, 'Die In Your Lap'. You might remember the beat itself as being the instrumental to the Khrysis Shoutro on Little Brother's 'Chittlin Circuit 1.5' album. It's about time someone spit on it..

Urban Renewal Project -- December 16, 2008

More and more and more heat....


We set it off with a double shot from Reef The Lost Cauze's album, 'A Vicious Cycle'. I recommend it, cause Reef is bringin it a big way. We also had interviews with Anonymous Twist, a very talented DJ/Producer/MC from the T Dot. We were also joined by a good friend of the URP from the Bay Area, producer and now MC Traxamillion. We bumped his new track, '808', and rest assured this track is NOT for dinky computer speakers!

Our old friend from the Vancouver comedy scene, Patrick Maliha. He did up some impressions for us, and ran down his upcoming shows and let us know about his new radio show on 1410 CFUN... Check it! We had tons of great tracks tonight from Snak The Ripper, Jay-Z, The Knux, Fashawn, Richie Cunning & U.N.I., K'Naan and more! Check it!

As always, you can download the podcast at www.UrbanRenewalProject.com a couple days from now! While you're at it, hit up the store and message board! We're off next week, but check us on the 30th when we'll be showcasing the year's best tracks!

Peace!

BIG track of the week -- December 14

This week's track is a newer DJ Premier-produced cut from Blaq Poet called "Ain't Nuttin Changed". Word is that Premo will be producing quite a few tracks from Poet's upcoming album which is great news because he can rip a Premier track as well as anyone (see FAYBAN, Poet Has Come, We Gonna Ill). Check it!

Urban Renewal Project -- Tuesday December 9th, 2008 -- Ladies Night!

Ladies Night!

Big start to the show on Tuesday, with a Double Shot from Medinah Starr's upcoming EP, "Serious Intermission". This disc is serious, don't sleep on the talented Philly rhyme sayer! We were also joined by Medinah for a phone interview where she spoke on her experiences in the music industry, her upcoming project and life in general! Good talk! Almost immediately after that we were joined by Amanda Diva, who is doing some big things in her own right, including collaborations with Q-Tip among others! Two quality interviews from two of the hottest female MCs in the game right now!

We were also joined by the Australian hip-hop duo, Bliss N Eso. They are tearing up the Aussie scene right now and are making their way to North America as we speak! Check their website, www.blissneso.com for show details!

Check out www.UrbanRenewalProject.net or download the podcast of this show because you're missing out if you didn't hear it! We got into an all-female MC set following the first two interviews with Medinah Starr and Amanda Diva and it was on from there! There was no slowing down, with new ish from Common, Blaq Poet, EPMD, Torae, Jay-Z, 88-Keys, Snak The Ripper and Party Arty (RIP) among others.

The Urban Renewal Project also passes along its condolences to the families and friends of DITC and Cella Dwellas MC, Party Arty, and the legendary MC Breed who both recently passed away. It was way too soon for both talented artists to leave us. RIP.

Peace,

Big M
