SITE UPDATES: MR. SUPREME, CRU, & REVIEWS

NEW INTERVIEW at groundliftmag.com



"It almost hurts you to be well-rounded and across the board. I rock parties and that's my job. So whether it's the Porn Convention in Las Vegas, or a B-Boy competition, or a pool party in Miami, I'm gonna get down and turn it out..." DJ VERB speaks with Seattle digger/dj extraordinaire Mr. Supreme.

NEW REWIND at groundliftmag.com



The short-lived group Cru was infected with a bad case of "right place, wrong time" syndrome. The right place was Def Jam. The wrong time was 1997, when the famed label was busy going platinum with Foxy Brown's Ill Na Na and inking its legendary deal with Roc-A-Fella and their flagship artist, Jay-Z. All of a sudden, promoting the promising debut of a little hardcore crew just wasn't very high on their to-do list.

"How would you say the Hip-Hop culture in Seattle differs from other cities?

It seems to me we have an identity crisis. Cats don't want to be themselves and just make good music, they try to be like Down South or whatever is popular. It's really segregated and clique-ish here. In all honesty these kids are a bit behind the rest of the nation and really need to step their game up."

Seattle will ALWAYS be behind the rest of the world, in everything except coffee consumption and do-nothing politicians...

lol carry on!
