URP Tuesdays -- RADix Interview + Ski Beatz Double Shot

Another great show to rock with for another Tuesday night in Vancouver or wherever you're at! We kicked off with a Double Shot from Ski Beatz much-anticipated album, 24 Hour Karate School. Ski Beatz has been putting it down for a minute, producing classic cuts for Jay-Z, Camp Lo, Curren$y, Original Flavor and Big Pun, so it's a logical assumption that the beats will be top-notch on this one. Ski lays down a hard-hitting vibe with his production and the rhymes are provided by veterans such as Jean Grae, Camp Lo, Ras Kass as well as Curren$y, Wiz Khalifa, Jay Electronica, Stalley and more. The album is definitely worth checking out, so hit up the local music store (physical or online) and support some quality Hip-Hop!



We then got into an interview with Quite Nyce & SEEK, the Massachussets duo collectively known as RADix. We discussed their group name, producer/MC duos, and their upcoming album with none other than a personal favourite of the URP, Statik Selektah. We've heard a few cuts from the album and if the rest follows suit, it should be a classic! Check out RADix at www.RADixHIPHOP.com to keep up with releases, tour dates and more! Get your social network on through the website as well!

As usual, we burned up the airwaves with some quality tunes from the likes of Smif-N-Wessun, Pete Rock & Raekwon, Tona, Jeff Spec, Fabolous & Jay-Z, 2Pac, Bun B and plenty more. Check out the podcast real soon, right here on the URP blog and www.URPRadio.Podomatic.com!

URP Tuesdays -- September 7th, 2010

We skipped the Double Shot this week and got right into the tunes because, well, we weren't really feeling much that came out this week. Next week is looking good though, with Black Milk, Rah Digga, Rustee Juxx and Watchmen all releasing music. A deluxe edition of Pete Rock & CL Smooth's Mecca And The Soul Brother is also coming out on the 17th, including a 20 page liner booklet, unreleased versions of classic tracks, acapellas and instrumentals.

We were then joined by a friend of the show, Roc C. We featured his new album, Scapegoat, which was released digitally a couple weeks back. The physical copy was released today so it was only right that we reached out to him tonight! We discussed distribution, writing, touring, collaborating and more! Check him out at www.MySpace.com/RocThisWay and support Scapegoat! Worth every penny, no coaster.



We played tons of tracks tonight, including material from J. Cole, Roc C, Nas, Curren$y, Skyzoo, Foreign Exchange and many more... Stay tuned for the podcast on www.URPRadio.Podomatic.com and keep it locked right here for all your Urban Renewal Project needs!

JULY 20, 2010 - PODCAST -- D-SISIVE INTERVIEW + more

As promised, here is this week's podcast. We were a 2-man crew for the show and it worked out pretty well regardless... plenty of tunes, including some new Rick Ross (best beat selector in the game right now), lots of Canadian material, and a lot of crazy tunes. We also had Toronto MC, D-Sisive, join us over the phone to discuss his new album, Vaudeville. Don't sleep on this podcast, one of the best shows of the year!
