Speaking of The Battle....

Battles should be more of a celebration rather than a showdown. I am really looking forward to this musical menagerie of mc's. So far there are 6 poets entered. Sincere , Keno, Big Dice, C-Note, Kinetik Dialekt and Canaan. They are still looking for 2 more poets to enter the fray, but were told if there is still 6 on the night of "The Battle", there might be a slight change in the rules before the contest begins. If there is anyone who is more qualified to host an mc battle in Massachusetts please stand up. What can be said about Akrobatik that hasn't already been said about Akrobatik? Respected world wide lyrically by anyone who appreciates real hip hop. This should be a night to remember.

I have been advised to bring a camera so I would like to advise everyone to follow suit. Your not going to want to miss it. Also performing live, Wakefield's own Straight Ca$h and closing the night Sincere. Throughout the night C&Dj's team will be tearing the night up. Dj Clashious Clay, Dj Night&Day will be sorting out the sound situation. All ages doors at 5. To think for all this entertainment is just 10 bucks. I can't get over it. Definitely bring a camera. The Stoned Show will post any picture sent to us after the night of "The Battle". We will see you all there.

Revalation - Megaman (Freestyle)+Instrumental D/L

The Mc Exposition Benefit Show was Dope!!


The night was off the hook and filled to the brim with hop hop fans from all walks of life. Parking was not a problem. There is a cab garage across the street and for 10 clams? I know a good deal when I see one. Dj Slip Wax set off the night properly. Scratches, Cuts, Beat Juggling hip hop music! All of the performers were off the chain and all for a great cause. M.C. Exposition took to the stage for a track. It was good to see D-Tension again. Akrobatik closed the show with an amazing return to the stage and captivated the audience with an emotional performance. What a night. The photos are not in any particular order

MC Exposition feat. Akrobatik with Dj Clashious Clay Tonight!!


- Side note,, the fact that the greatest boxer of all time Muhammad (Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr) Ali is on the cover of this ad has nothing to do with Clashious spinning for Akrobatik. Its just a Coincidence. See you all tonight ringside.

An Interview with John Re-Surch McGhee




John Re-Surch McGhee
  • If you take hip hip out of the equation what type of music would you be playing, if playing music at all?
    I would be playing piano music. Music like The Fray where the piano is the main focus. I love the instrument. I mess around with it now, but very soon I'm going to take lessons and become an actual pianist.

    Where were you born and where are you from?
    I was born and raised in Boston Massachusetts, Dorchester. The 617 kid, but I was in M.E.T.C.O., so I went to school in the Burbs, Lynnfield. Everyday back and fourth.

    Favorite group/artist/mc/dj/producer?
    My favorite group of all time is The Wu Tang Clan. I'm mean they had something music couldn't deny. Then Rage against the machine. There music is so inspiring. "Fuck the G ride I want the machines that are making them. I like Odd Future and Tyler the Creator, that's one funny dude. My favorite 4 Emcee's are Eminem, Nas, Rza, and Tupac. Em is just insane I mean did you hear him on the 2011 BET Cypher. What the fuck!!! Nas was my number 1 before Em came along. I was hook off it was written. I didn't even know about Illmatic and then I heard that shit years later. Like this dude totally change the game at that time. Rza is just this really creative dude. He's responsible for my rap career. After listening to him I started writing and freestyling a lot to become a true Emcee. A title which I have gladly earned. And Tupac is a legend. His raw passion is what hooked me. He didn't hold anything back. He spoke his mind even though it meant jail or death.

    What do you think about the occupy wall st movement? Would you perform at or support the cause?
    I think that it's fucked up that 1% of the population control the wealth, but I never really watch the news because it's always fucked up. There's never anything positive on there. My cause is education. Every school should be a Milton Academy, a Harvard, with top educational standards. It's fucked up that some towns get great school systems and other get crap. That's a set up because kids and teens follow. They don't know any better. There still developing.

    How long have you been recording music?
    I've been recording for 10 years. I still remember how terrible my first recording was. I have destroyed that CD, but I wish I still had it now just to show the development. I also have my degree in Audio Engineering, so I know my way around a studio.

    Whats your next project?
    "Raised In The Ghetto Went To School In The Burbs" were in the mixing phase now. I really want to experiment with effects and studio magic, so I separated it from the recording process. It's suppose to be an album, but It might become a mixtape because I want to give it out for free. Plus I've recorded so many tracks. I might have to make both.

    Please explain what"ACK" is.
    ACK stands for Alcoholic College Kidz and it's the name of my first album. I started the movement when I was in college. I was making my first album figuring what I wanted to talk about and that's what I was living at the time. My motto has always been "I may not be a gangsta, but I'm from around the way." So It was important to me that I made something different. I am the Father of College Rap. I was the first, I don't care what anyone says. I know and my fans know I was first!

    How many shows have you performed to date?
    Geez who knows. That's a good question. I stopped counting years ago. Lots and lots.

    Do you have any advice to someone who has never performed live?
    Yea, practice. Practice until you know your shit so well that you could be black out drunk and still know your music. Think of your stage show as that, a show not as sound, but as visual. Your fans already know your music, they came to SEE, SEE, SEE a show. Did I stress that they came to SEE a show?

    Who is your dj and close crew?
    My DJ is DJ Liberty. I grew up with him. That's my homey. We were captains of the football team in high school. But I roll with a lot of people, EMS, Order 66, One 3 Music, mad people.

    Whats your favorite song? Favorite one you have ever recorded, and why is it your favorite.
    My favorite song I have ever recorded is "This Time", I sampled The Offspring's song "Self Esteem" which is one of my all time favorites. It took two years to find a producer that could chop that up right. Producer after producer, and my college buddy Beatdown was the one who did it. He even said it was a challenge. And I wrote 3 different versions before I found the actual lyrics that belonged to the song. It was after my boy Dante committed suicide, so I dedicated the song to him because he was a really good dude. I'm still morning his loss.

    Where can we find you online and when is your next live show?
    You can find me at www.Re-Surch.com and www.facebook.com/Resurch My next show is Saturday November 19, 2011 in Quincy MA.

Holy Cheap Vocal Booth Clashious!!

This man is a mad scientist. Who would have thought to use an old storage bin and about 30 egg crates to create the worlds cheapest and probably only "vocal dome". The Situation Room has many things in its arsenal, but money is not on the list. "Call it what you will", say's Clashious but it works. I keeps outside sound out and quality sound in. It's been called many things, but pretty is not one of them.
