What's up going on?

This week on the Urban Renewal Project, we had interviews with 50 Cent, Eminem and Soulja Boi! Big!



Did I catch any of you who are still suffering the 4/20 bakeover? Hopefully I did.

Anyway. We had a good interview with The Lyricists, represting Michigan. They have a couple of EP's on the way as well as a project out now, so check them out on myspace at www.myspace.com/TheLyricists . They have tour dates up there, so check 'em out if they're in your town!

We also got into some new tracks from Snak The Ripper & Fatt Matt featuring Chadio, DJ Quik & Kurupt, and premiered our brand new, bangin' intro from Soulstice!

URP Radio -- Tuesday, April 14

*Editors Note*
I totally thought this was posted last week, but I guess wireless connections screw me over once again! And now, without further ado, onward with the blog! :

Seems like we talked with the entire Vancity hip-hop scene on this Tuesday night. We were joined by Planet Asia (www.myspace.com/planetasia) , who will be judging the Vanquish Beat Battle this Thursday April 16 at Tunnel nightclub in Vancouver. He will be joined by the Boom Goonz (Snak The Ripper, Young Sin, Fatt Matt, Lesk One & D-Rec) and the event will showcase the best producers Vancouver has to offer. Planet Asia, Tachichi and E.D.G.E. will also be performing, so check it out!

URP Radio -- April 7, 2009

What's good?

Every once in a while you just gotta kick back and listen to some music. That's what we did this week on the Urban Renewal Project. No interviews, just the crew and some brew. Sage was spinning everything from Mobb Deep to K-Os, with some Poor Righteous Teachers (RIP Tony D), Zion I, Pharcyde, Richie Cunning, Marco Polo, and tons more sprinkled in between!

We also featured Jadakiss new disc, "The Last Kiss", as our double shot. Sounds dope!
