Building a School in Nigeria: M-Eighty attempts to break the World Record for Longest Freestyle

Friends: Please follow me at www.longestfreestylerap.blogspot.com as I attempt to break the worlds record for longest freestyle rap and raise $30,000 to build a model secondary education school in Africa's Bodo, Nigeria.

Please read the press release and visit the below links for more information on the Bebor School and how you can donate to the cause.

Bless,
M

As his predecessors, Wu-Tang A&R and member of the group Almighty, M-Eighty will attempt to break the 8 hr and 45 min Guinness Book of World Record for longest freestyle rap on December 19^th in Indianapolis, IN. Artists including American emcees MC Supernatural and DJ Green Arrow along with British emcee Ruffstylz have all surpassed the 8 hr and 45 min record set by Canadian emcee D.O. in 2003, but a change of the guard has yet to be recognized by the Guinness World Records.

M-Eighty’s application to the Guinness World Records was accepted in September and he is very anxious for the December 19^th date. The event will be free to the public and has garnered a great deal of media attention in and around the city of Indianapolis. In the spirit of Wu-Tang and the late ODB, M-Eighty has partnered with the International Studies Program at Indiana University/Purdue University-Indianapolis (IUPUI) and the Timmy Foundation to raise $30,000.00 from the event with the ultimate goal of financing the construction of the first model Secondary school in Africa’s Bodo, Nigeria.

M-Eighty, an IUPUI alumnus and graduate of the New College of California School of Law, has also decided to name the Bebor secondary school in honor of the late Dr. Gary D. Tollefson, M.D. Dr. Tollefson, one of M-Eighty’s most influential mentors, was the former President of Eli Lilly's Neuroscience Group where his leadership led to drugs that revolutionized the pharma field and became household names. He was also a Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the Indiana University School of Medicine and a recognized humanitarian.

When asked why M-Eighty decided to pursue this record breaking attempt he stated, “I don’t think it was ever a question of whether I could freestyle for x amount of time; I believe you can do anything you set your mind to. I chose to take on this obstacle because at the end of the day I am providing a great service to others and doing something life altering for an entire community in the name of education.”

Letting the World Know! Universal Love to QB's Tragedy Khadafi

Today I got a chance to catch the "Tragedy: Story of Queensbridge" flick on youtube and it made me remember why Hip-Hop was once so pure. Before any schmuck who could put 2 words together thought they knew how to rhyme, before our youth gave answers to whose the top 5 dead or alive and threw names like weezy, jeezy, and juiceman in the mix, and before record companies forgot how to promote records and brand their artists.

I had the pleasure of knowing Tragedy as a friend and a business associate and I hold he's holding his head while he is currently incarcerated until 2011. Tragecy and I put together a track called "rebeloution" back in 2004. It was later released on my 2007 "Hymns, Psalms, & Street Songs" album. Trag and I went to the Bronx and actually recorded the track in a recording studio in the back of a record store. I had never seen anything like it. But the familiar feeling of everyone in the room and everyone who saw Tragedy wherever we went was a good feeling. You could tell their priase and respect was genuine and sincere to the highest degree.

Trag would go on to introduce me to Mobb Deep Kay Slay, Marley Marl, Littles, and even label heads including Chuck Wilson (Babygrande) and Devin Horowitz (Nature Sounds).

Trag was and is the emodiment of a real life emcee and ask anyone in Queensbridge who Nas looks up to and they will tell you, Khadafi.

When asked by Trag why I wanted to call the track "Rebeloution" I explained to him a vision I had where artists could once again eat off the fruits of their labor in the music industry without having to be held down. This was the whole reason I went to law school. To learn the ins and outs of the legal world and apply that to what I already knew in music. If you know my resume, you know how many people have benefited off my lessons and how many more will in the future.

To Trag, I salute you for being one of the best to ever do it. To anyone reading this, DL the track Rebeloution below for Free, watch the 7 part story "Tragedy: The QB story", DL the free "Stray Shots" mixtape and soak up as much Tragedy Khadafi music and culture as you can.

CANIBUS "MELATONIN MAGIK" NOVEMBER 24, 2009!!! GET READY!
Category: Music

CANIBUS THE POET LAUREATE RETURNS WITH HIS FIRST SOLO OFFERING IN 2 YEARS

OCTOBER 1, 2009

Whether you know him as Rip the Jacker, Saint Germaine, Poet Laureate, Kurt Godel Jr., or just Can-I-Bus, Hip-Hop heads all over the world know that Germaine Williams aka Canibus is a force to be reckoned with on the microphone. In a busy year that began with the Ultimate Lyricist spanning over 25 cities on a headlining US tour, being linked to various collaborative albums with the likes of Keith Murray as The Undergods, K-Solo and Born Sun as The Sharpshooters, or the TBA project with Kool G Rap and Super Producer Domingo, Canibus has still managed time to link up with A&R Extraodinaire M-Eighty (Wu-Tang Meets the Indie Culture, The Undergods) in bringing fans the raw and edgy street tested and true hip-hop approved solo record “Melatonin Magik” set for release on November 24^th.

When asked about the title for the upcoming release, the Poet Laureate described Melatonin as the motivation and answer to the unwanted and negative effects of Canibus while providing that his presence and devastating lyrical prowess on the mic is the Magik or the cure hip-hop needs in order to sustain its integrity. Teaming up with independent upstart The War Lab alongside Koch/E1 for what is sure to be a renowned release full of off the wall lyricism, powerful production, and a few controversial surprises that fans will have to hear to believe, Canibus is ready to defy all odds and recapture the hearts of Hip-Hop Worldwide heads once again.

With a tentative production line-up featuring Wu-Tang alumni Bronze Nazareth and Mathematics, veterans Marco Polo and Sicknature of the Snowgoons, and newcomers Blastah Beatz and Godz Wrath alongside guest features from newcomer and lyrical heavyweight DZK, Legends Kool G Rap and Chino XL, and much more, “Melatonin Magik” will surely wet the palate of what all fans have come to expect and more throughout their favorite records of Canibus' extensive catalog.

For more information on Canibus, “Melatonin Magik”, upcoming tour plans, and special offers from The War Lab please visit www.myspace.com/canibus , http://canibuscentral.ihiphop.com/forum/ , www.spitboss.com, www.warlab.com , and www.chambermusik.com .

R.I.P SPIN NIGHTCLUB--YOU WILL BE MISSED (FOR MY INDY FOLKS)
Category: Life

FROM THE FORUMS AT WWW.INDIANAPOLISMUSIC.NET

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I want to take a moment to thank Spin Nightclub

by M.Eighty on Thu Jul 09, 2009 12:10 am

This is my first time posting on this forum and I just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself while showing my gratitude to Todd Johnson and Spin Nightclub for allowing me to operate both as an artist and as a promoter at their venue.

For as long as I have lived in Indianapolis and been active in the music scene (2000-2004 & 2008-present) I've always been one of those people that others really love and appreciate or just completely write off...no common medium whatsoever.

Between 2002-2004 I performed quite frequently at both the Patio, Tiki Bob's, and The Cube as both M-Eighty (Emcee) and as Matt Markoff (Bassist for the Punk Rock band The Drug Sluts). To this day I give my praises to people like Ron Miner "Indiana Jones" and Rusty from the Mudkids for providing me with the opportunities to grow as a local artist and display my talents in public forums when no one else would give me the time of day. It was these show opportunities in Indianapolis that truly opened the door for me to network with other like-minded artists locally, nationally, and internationally and afford me with the opportunity to spend my days working professionally in the music industry as an A&R and an Artist.

From 2004-2008 I lived in California and obtained my Law Degree (yep, M-Eighty has a juris doctorate) and spent my summers living in New York building the label Think Differently Music Group alongside the RZA and Dreddy Kruger. As an A&R, I have appeared 3 times on the Billboard Top 200 charts since 2005 for albums including "Wu-Tang Meets the Indie Culture", Bronze Nazareth's "The Great Migration", and GZA's "Pro-Tools" and simulatenously became the 1st Indianapolis based artist to receive a national recording contract with my group "Almighty" in 2008 (Babygrande Records/Red Eye Distribution) and achieve the #1 single on the Top 40 Underground Hip-Hop Charts for the song "Handle the Heights" (Canibus/M-Eighty/Bronze Nazareth/Keith Murray).

Is any of this a big deal to anyone in Indianapolis?...not at all, and this gets me directly to my point.

I consider myself a very humble, easy going person who pretty much sticks to myself, my family, and my loved ones whenever I am not having to be in the public eye. (Its always the people who boast the most who really have no worthy accomplishments to discuss) Prior to moving back to Indianapolis, I was introduced to Todd Johnson over the phone and told him of my interest to bring more national talent to Indianapolis. See, having lived in both California and New York spolied me to the core. San Francisco is like having 10 different broadripples in a 7' x 7' radius and NYC is like having a dozen different downtowns to run through...my point is that you can always find something to occupy your time. Everyday of the week I could see an amazing concert (rock/hip-hop/punk/techno/etc) or go to a major league sporting event (Yankees/Knicks/Giants/Warriors/Athletics/etc) or just some absolute randomness like getting invited to a party at Andre Agassi's house hosted by Duran Duran or maurading through the secret underworld of both San Francisco and New York City. (Fortunately I still finished law school with a 3.0 average)

Todd recognized very early on that I was a very no nonsense type of person and I was someone willing to work as hard as possible in order to preserve my integrity and good spirit with those who I maintain prosperous business and friendship ties with. Every national act that came through Spin since 2008 I funded out of pocket and Todd was gracious enough to provide me with a venue to host these events whereas other venues wanted sometimes between $1,000-$3,000 just to hold my events there on top of paying for the talent, the promotions, etc. Every show had amazing turnouts and it was for the first time that many people in Indy (regardless of their musical preferences) began to show their appreciation for my efforts. Artists like Black Sheep, Keith Murray, Canibus, Digable Planets, Paul Wall, Killah Priest, Spice One, and more all graced the stage at Spin which marked a very good time for me and showed the naysayers and controllers of Broadripple that it is possible to do great hip-hop events without the threat of violence and other intolerance that often plagues the good nature of these artists, the promoters, and the fans who come to see their favorite artists knowing that this opportunity may never surface again.

As an artist, I am very saddened by the news that Spin Nightclub has closed its doors because I loved their staff (especially John Martin who is hands down one of the best Sound Enginneers I have ever met) and I loved performing on their stage knowing the great deal of history and talent that has left its presence both as The Patio and as Spin in its short existence. I am fortunate enough to have performed throughout the entire United States and have seen firsthand how good music and a good spirit affects others who want to follow in your foot steps. For those who have not shared in this same fortune and are among the Indianapolis and greater Indiana arts community, whether immediately or through time, the closing of Spin will definitely plague us all. There was a point in time where Broadripple was considered an Arts Community and that is why people from all walks of life took to its establishments, its friendly environment, and local businesses. Well, the times have changed and now it is the community that has to pay the ultimate price. Spin Nightclub will probably become a white castle or something along those lines that all the masses can enjoy as they exit Rock lobster or Landsharks or Brother's (by the way, i never thought I'd live in a city where a sports bar was the main attraction...wow!) and instantly forget that Spin or the Patio ever existed. I applaud venues like Birdy's, the Emerson Theatre, Melody Inn, and more for really standing behind the Arts here in Indianapolis. The Vogue definitely does its part too but only time will tell if the Vogue will be willing to extend a helping hand to someone of my caliber and allow me to run events in their establishment for the ultimate benefit of the people of Indianapolis.

In closing, I extend a great debt of gratitude to Todd Johnson for taking a chance on me and allowing me to prosper within the confines of Indianapolis when no one else was willing to do so. I sincerely wish you nothing but good fortune and to the staff at Spin and its many patrons I have the gracious opportunity of meeting, I thank you for your appreciation and generosity.

BRONZE NAZARETH, THE WISEMEN, & ALMIGHTY LEAVE BABYGRANDE!

WITHIN 24 HOURS OF LEAVING BABYGRANDE, SOUND RECORDS & ENTERTAINMENT SIGNS A PACKAGE DEAL WITH M-EIGHTY FOR THE SOPHOMORE RELEASES FROM BRONZE NAZARETH, THE WISEMEN, AND ALMIGHTY!!!!
http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/i...-sound-records

Wu-Tang Affiliates Depart Babygrande For Sound Records

March 13th, 2009 | Author: Jake Paine
After over five years of a working relationship at Babygrande Records and Wu-Tang Clan-affiliated artists Bronze Nazareth, The Wiseman and Almighty left the New York label for Seattle's Sound Records & Entertainment.

A&R and Almighty founding member M-Eighty said, "It just felt like the right time to do what’s best for us. Almighty, Bronze Nazareth, and the Wisemen gave Babygrande gold and yet they somehow managed to turn it into shit. All the new material we have been recording for these three records is far too great to turn over to Babygrande and relive the headache of why we provide them with classic material and all we get in return in doctored accounting statements and excuses.” As the quote indicated, financial support and agreements were a major motive in the leave.

Bronze Nazareth, who produced on several Babygrande projects, from his own to 2008's Protools [click to read] album from GZA [click to read], added, "Our fans are going to follow us regardless of what label imprint is on the back of our product. Sound Records embraced all of us and brought us back to the essence of when a label made you feel like a member of the family and when you prosper as a family everyone wins.”

Legal Representative for the camp provided that, “Babygrande Records had the opportunity to retain the rights to the three entities (Bronze Nazareth, The Wisemen, and Almighty) and either chose not to meet their contracted fiscal option guarantees or their contracts became unenforceable due to the dissolution of partnering labels Think Differently Music Group (Bronze Nazareth) and Kings Row Music Group (The Wisemen).”

Wu-Tang members and affiliates GZA and 9th Prince are believed to still remain Babygrande artists.

At Sound Records & Entertainment, the three acts will reportedly all release albums within 45 days of each other, beginning in July of this year. This is billed as "The 3 Kingz Campaign." Wisemen member Kevlaar 7 noted, "This same camaraderie is what breathed new life into Duck Down Records when they partnered with Ecko a few years back. We want the world to know that are combined forces are unstoppable and the team is definitely here to stay.”

Sound will also release 60 Second Assassin's album [click to read], as well as a reported collaboration between Keith Murray and Canibus, coming soon.

M-Eighty Celebrates!!!!
