DJ B Vax... an introduction

Hi...

I'm a true school Hip Hop MC/DJ. I'm one fourth of the Hip Hop quartet Endangered Species. I'm strongly into the culture of Hip Hop as well as promoting thought through my music. You won't hear a lot of "look at what I got", "Do this dance" in my rhyme schemes.

I'm a adult with adult subjects.

I will never hate on artist for doing his thing as I would want the same respect.

I have been told I sound like many people from Krs-1 to Black Thought from the Roots. I guess that is where a lot of my influence is coming from.

I'm certainly not looking for my music to be in one place. I want to reach a broad audience and progress as an artist. I think music should be timeless and not just for the moment. It should always evoke feelings and touch you in some way.

While in my group I had the opportunity to grow as an artist. We had the chance to open for legends such as Common, DJ Kool Herc, Too Short, Slum Village, Digable Planets and others.

This invaluable experience made me want to embark upon my solo venture. I'm not leaving my group but I am expanding my soul. This year will be the release of my first solo album entitled "Cultural Awareness."

In my opinion Hip Hop music has always been a social tool for people all over the world. I hope with my music I can touch someone and bring part of my culture to them.

Young Jeezy: “I’m Not Capitalizing Off The Recession”

Gas prices are going up, but Young Jeezy sure can afford a gallon. Interestingly, the trapper, who usually leans more towards drugs tales than social commentary, titled his third solo album, The Recession to mixed responses. On one hand, fans are applauding Jeezy for addressing the common man’s struggle. On the other hand, skeptics think Jeezy, a millionaire who isn’t subjected to company-wide layoffs, is using the country’s bad economy as a marketing tool.

“It’s the same as my first album [Thug Motivation 101], Jeezy told XXLMag.com. “When money was plentiful, I was the first one who told you to stack it. Live your life with it. Now that money slowed up, I’ma be the one telling you to save it like they ain’t gon’ make it no more.”

“I wouldn’t say that I was capitalizing off of it,” he continued. “You wanna know who is capitalizing off of it, you gotta go talk to Bush. He’s at the basketball games over in China. Gas is like $9 almost it seems like, but he’s enjoying himself while the rest of us are suffering.”

Don’t let the bigger bank account fool you. Jeezy contends he’s personally affected just like 9-to-5ers.

“I got family members, aunts, uncles and friends that still live their life,” the Atlanta rapper explained. “You going through trials and trills, but you can’t save everybody, so it definitely affects me when I get the phone calls and somebody’s getting put out of their house, somebody doesn’t have a ride to work, somebody can’t pay their bills and there ain’t really a lot of opportunity out there for you

Rapper Yung Joc is sued for child support

Yung Joc’s baby mama Fatimah Jester is looking to get paid. Jester claims the Grammy-nominated rapper whose real name is Jasiel Robinson owes her $2,000 in back child support. The rapper currently lives in Riverdale while Jester lives with their 7 year old son Amoni.

Jester said Yung Joc has missed numerous court-ordered payments which caused her to be late on her bills. Jester says the payments should be chump change because Yung Joc is a famous wealthy rapper with a luxury car rental business.

“Mr. Robinson has all kinds of cars, Bentleys, Mercedes Benz, Ranger Rovers, Two Range rovers,” said Jester. “The type of money he makes, $2,000 is nothing.”

A judge is set to hear the case in court on Sept. 11
