Rock the Bells in Detroit

Kelley L. Carter of the Free Press looks at the Rock the Bells Tour which comes to metro Detroit tonight.

On Wednesday, the Rock the Bells Tour comes to DTE Energy Music Theatre in Clarkston, featuring an all-star lineup of talent. On deck to perform at the outdoor concert hall are Wu-Tang Clan, Nas, Talib Kweli, MF Doom, Pharoahe Monch, Immortal Technique, Slum Village and Phat Kat.

Some folks call it backpack hip-hop, but that simplifies what these musicians do.

It’s a snappy way of saying that what these guys have in common is substance.

Here’s a look at a documentary of the original Rock the Bells in 2004 which saw Wu-tang reunite on stage.

The film is getting great reviews all-around as is prepares for release. More information is available at www.rockthebellsmovie.com.

Slum Village and Remy Martin team up to support AIDS Partnership Michigan

Slum Village Aids Walk

Originally printed in Between the Lines news.

They hail from the Conant Gardens neighborhood on the East Side, and their hearts remain in their city as they travel the globe. And Detroit hip-hop group Slum Village came home last week, teaming up with Remy Martin to donate $7,500 to AIDS Partnership Michigan.

The donation, which was presented Friday at APM’s Detroit office, was part of the popular cognac maker’s Black Music Month program, which kicked off in June. Remy Martin picked 10 up-and-coming artists to play shows in their hometowns. Each artist or group picked a charitable cause, and the company made a donation on their behalf.

“It’s a big epidemic going on in the city of Detroit - and in the black and Latino community especially,” said Slum Village’s T3, R.L. Altman, explaining why the group picked AIDS as its cause.

Slum Village recorded for the Capitol Records label before going independent. It has recorded five albums to date, the latest being a self-titled disc released in 2005.

While at APM, Slum Village met 17 of the agency’s employees and learned what each did. When it was her turn to speak, executive director Barb Murray talked about the agency’s history.

“In the early days, to be blunt with you gentlemen, we helped a lot of people die,” she said. “Now we help people live.”

- Jason A. Michael

Caltroit update from Black Milk

Black Milk

Black Milk updates us on everything going on in his world in his latest HipHopGame.com journal entry.

He covers doing shows in Cali and NY to touring in Europe and his plans on doing a show in Toronto, Canada.

Most intriguing is his news on his upcoming Caltroit project with Aftermath’s Bishop Lamont:

The status of the Caltroit album right now is that we’re trying to get it done so we can at least put it out by October. We have Ras Kass, Royce da 5’9”, Kweli, Pharoahe Monch is coming in, Slum Village, Phat Kat and Busta Rhymes. There are a lot of people. The songs are coming together nicely. We should be wrapping it up in a minute. I’m not focusing on any other projects right now. I’m focusing on Caltroit right now and I’m real confident in how the shit came out.
