October 20, 2009 -- F-A-B-O!

We apologize for the lack of a podcast last week! Unfortunately, we had some technical difficulties and were not able to do the show as we usually do. I was without needles, and so I had to resort to key-j'ing.

We were back on track this week, featuring Cormega's new album, “Born & Raised”, which just dropped today on Traffic Entertainment. As usual, Mega goes hard on this one and is assisted by production from heavyweights such as DJ Premier, Large Pro, Easy Mo Bee, Havoc and more. Check this one out, as you can be sure Cormega never disappoints!

We were then joined by Brooklyn representative, the one and only Fabolous. F-A-B-O discussed his new album, “Loso's Way”, collaborating with Canadian talent, memorable moments from his rise to fame and more! Hit him at www.MySpace.com/Fabolous to keep up with everything Fabolous has been up to and don't sleep on his new album!

We played a ton of goodness tonight, including Redman, Cormega, Saukrates, Freeway, Common and many more! We also had Willy-E and Bay-Bay aka Bekon, who are on their promoter grind out in Chicago come by and chill with us in the studio this week. Quality talk!

Oct. 6th, 2009 PODCAST! -- Bekay & Spesh K!

We kicked it off tonight with a nice Double Shot from BK-One's new studio compilation, Radio Do Canibal. There are a ton of guest spots on this one, from Phonte to Aceyalone and it showcases some overseas production style that is very nice and fresh. Pick this one up wherever fine music is sold, although you may have to find an Internet retailer to facilitate your search!

For our first interview, we were joined by the always energetic Brooklyn MC, Bekay. This very talented MC promised us a great interview and did not disappoint! He's working on eliminating the candy-coated Hip-Hop that is saturating the commercial airwaves with his album, "Hunger Pains", which is due out on November 10th of this year. He weighed in on issues surrounding the Hip Hop and music world in general as well as why you should cop his album! Hit him up at www.MySpace.com/BeKay . This man is a monster! He even dropped a freshly written verse that the world has never heard!

We were then joined by Toronto (by way of Halifax) MC, Spesh K. He discussed his new disc, "90209", which is out now! The easiest way to check it out is on iTunes, so get your online copping on! He discussed the diversity of his collaborations, touring and more! Check him out at www.SpeshK.com!

We had nothing but great music tonight as well. Being back to our 2-hour timeslot, we gotta fit in nothing but the best! Cormega, Bekay, KRS-One & Buckshot, M.O.P., Pete Rock, Brother Ali and Skyzoo were front and center tonight, so make sure you download the podcast at www.UrbanRenewalProject.net or just CLICK HERE!

URP Radio - September 29, 2009 -- Swollen Members & Killawatt!

We got tonight's show started by jumping into a Double Shot from Skyzoo's first studio album, "The Salvation". As is the case with most Duck Down Records releases, this album is a banger and could not have come too soon. It's good to see a 10-year Hip-Hop veteran finally getting an LP out there so do not sleep on it!

We were then joined one third of Vancity's own, Swollen Members, Prevail. The trio are back on the scene, doing big things worldwide and burning up the airwaves with their lead single, "Warrior" featuring Tre Nyce, from their new album, "Armed To The Teeth". Prevail discussed why it's important to keep your ear to the street, collaborations and much more! Hit up the group at www.SwollenMembers.com to keep up with all the latest moves they're making!

Another Vancity resident, Heatwave and his crew came through the studio to chop it up with the URP. Heatwave's got the mixtape out, "Hotter Than July" out now so make sure you check that out! Jay Kin even called in to chat up his long-time friend! Check out the interview and the subsequent cypher the gang got into, and hit up Heatwave at www.MySpace.com/HeatwaveTeam and www.Killawattrecords.com for everything you need to know about the team!
