URP Tuesdays: Saigon The Yardfather

This is it! Last show of 2010!

It's been a very solid year for Hip-Hop releases, don't let the Young Money takeover fool you! Although even that camp had some solid releases. Big up to Drake!

We were joined with an MC who has paid more dues than most in the music business: Saigon. He has found a home with Suburban Noize Records and surrounded himself with quality movers and shakers and as a result, his debut LP will finally see the light of day! The Greatest Story Never Told is scheduled to hit shelves on February 15th, 2011! We discussed this project, which features Just Blaze, Swizz Beatz, Faith Evans, Devin The Dude and many more, as well as his work with Statik Selektah, and of course, why everything that glitters ain't gold. Make sure to check out the interview with the Yardfather in the podcast soon! You can also pre-order The Greatest Story Never Told RIGHT HERE!



We had to fit a lot of chatter into a short period of time tonight, including a Ghostface Killah album comparison, highlights of 2010, and much more. Expect our first show of the new year to be the 2010 retrospective edition of the URP, as there are still some quality releases due out before December is up!

We then got into an interview with Brooklyn mainstays, The Sleepwalkas. We discussed their history in the game, collaborations with the likes of Sadat X, plans for their next project as well as how the collective came together to put out Hip-Hop music that pays homage to the old, looks ahead to the future and deals with the present. Check out The Sleepwalkas on pretty much every social networking site, including Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Bandcamp and Reverb Nation!

URP Tuesdays -- August 3rd, 2010

Another Tuesday means you will be absorbing the best Hip-Hop has to offer! Underground, mainstream, classic, new and old, we spin it all.

We featured Wale's new mixtape, "More About Nothing" as our Double Shot this week. The follow-up to his acclaimed 2008 Seinfeld-themed "Mixtape About Nothing" definitely lives up to its predecessor and showcases what Wale is all about. Even if you weren't feeling his debut LP, you'll enjoy this mixtape. Here's hoping this style of record continues onto his sophmore LP. Download the mixtape here, we got it a few posts down.

No interviews this week, which means tons of tunes in rotation tonight. Everything from Jay-Z to The Sleepwalkas to The Clipse to Choclair, we got you covered! We also ran down a ton of August show dates in the Vancouver area from local favourite Snak The Ripper. He's on tour with none other than R.A. The Rugged Man and will be tearing it down once again, this time with some all-ages shows! Hit the podcast to get the dates and check out his FACEBOOK PAGE to keep up with Snak!
