Switzerlands legendary Dj Jesaya releases "Operation Hope", which is not only an album packed with exclusive songs by Hip Hop greats (Rakaa (Dilated Peoples), AZ, Freeway, Termanology, Kool G Rap, Reks, Stereo Boyz, The Artifacts, J-Ro (Tha Alkaholiks), Main Flow, Red Cafe and more) but also serves as a charity project, with all proceeds going to a child aid program in India.

She has made it her mission to help children and also adults in Dehradun, India with medical aid, clothes, shelter and school education. Dj Jesaya took on the challenge of putting together an incredible Hi

So put on your Oakley Razor-Blades and dowse your nose with some PDF-30 because is S.O.B. is back with their junior release Reseda Beach which will be released on 10-23-2012 on Dirty Version Records. Styles Of Beyond’s long-delayed Reseda Beach LP has achieved mythical type status due to the fact that the group started work on the project so man

Now, Mello Music Group is excited to announce Quelle Chris has signed a multi-album deal with MMG. As an appetizer to the Quelle Chris experience, enjoy a set of Q-Mixes (aka The Quelle Chris Luxury Remixes). Pulling from a diverse selection of (mostly) hip-hop, the eccentric rapper and producer has re-arranged some classics into grungy and muddy versions of themselves. He adds grit to grime and flips style on its head when he pitches Cam’ron down to sound like the boogie monster, or when he remixes Madlib into a place just as quirky and mesmerizing as the hera
