Slaine, Freddy Madball, Jaysaun, Esoteric and others team up for Benefit Concert at Church next Monday (10/19)
By Chris Faraone

Unless you're the type who actually likes running 10K charity races, then it's rare that you get to enjoy yourself while doing the right thing. That said; here's an opportunity to party philanthropically, as Reef the Lost Cauze, Outerspace, 7L&Esoteric, Slaine, Jaysaun, Freddy Madball, and DJ Stress are rocking Church next Monday (10/19) to raise money for a friend in poor health.

MIC Awards (a/k/a Boston Hip-Hop Awards) Return in 2010. Who Will Have The Best Interruption?
By Chris Faraone

The Mass Industry Committee (MIC) doesn’t mind that throwing Boston music award shows is more thankless than drumming. Nor do they anguish over criticism that their first two MIC Awards played favorites. Last week, committee organizers voted to ignore naysayer player haters and announced plans for a third gala in four years.

Your Extensive Boston Hip-Hop Unity Fest Primer
By Chris Faraone

If I tried to write about every one of the 30-or-so rappers set to collectively slap Unity Fest at The Paradise next Thursday, I wouldn’t have time to fuck around on Facebook and Twitter all day. It would also be a waste of time considering how much I’ve already written about so many of the marquee artists.

Necro's Degenerate Middle East Show
By Chris Faraone

It’s a good thing my grandmother stayed home from Necro’s show at the Middle East this past Saturday. She hates when musicians dump buckets of ice water on groupies’ heads, spit in their faces, and talk nasty to them in front of throngs of degenerate suburbanites.

We all expected what we got. Before the show began, Lateb and Slant of Heddshotts – who were opening the fandango – told me that they planned to drop the nastiest joint in their arsenal.

Official Dispatch from the 2008 Boston Music Awards [VIDEO]
By Chris Faraone

The Subaru limousine – which I assume belongs to Ernie Boch, Jr. (nominee: Outstanding Blues Act of the Year) – idling outside the Roxy last night was an appropriate metaphor for the 2008 Boston Music Awards. Despite it being a quasi-posh invite-only event (albeit one that any super fan could have easily penetrated), the gala didn’t reek of superficiality.
