Voice Of The Streets

This post could have many titles. "Tha Hate that Love Wrought", "How About Some Hardcore", "Tha Rawness", etc.
I chose the title i did because that's what Johnny Bass is in Sweden. If you wanna know what A Hardcore Hiphoppa in sweden is thinking. all you have to do is pick up one of any number of albums that Johnny Bass has recorded over the years. You will probably have to contact Johnny Bass himself since he is extremely independet.

Bass is not the most technical rapper, but he is definitely one of the most Honest, and most dedicated to Keeping Shit Real. Not in some cliché type of manner. but real 4 real. Bass writes his rhymes with one thing in mind. To bring you the Truth as he sees it. Johnny is the type of person that i make my own music for. The One's that you don't see online on internet forums. the one in the streets tagging up everything like the world is their canvas. The One who still appreciates all the elements of Hip Hop.
Many times when i write my own rhymes i think about if Johnny Bass will feel it or not. That's one of the ways i keep myself from slippin'.

Johnny is one of the first Hiphoppers i met when i moved to Sweden about almost 14 years ago. He was Hardcore then. and He is even more Hardcore now. It Doesn't get any more Underground and Raw than Johnny Bass and Oneteron's New and only completed project (even though they have worked together on and off for the past 16 years.

Oneteron his a Dedicated Boom Bap Loyalist. He still spends most of his pay check on vinyl records to check for samples. At one time he was known to have about 7 samplers. All He does is Drink Coffee and Make Beats, and practice His Scratches and Cuts. All he cares about in this world is the sound of the Kick tha Snare, and the Hi-hat.
Oneteron is such a perfectionist that it is a little to his detriment since he very rarely gives out a project. Oneteron has been making beats about as long as Embee from Looptroop. He has probly made just as many if not more beats than Embee. but only a privledged few who know Oneteron well enough to hang out at his crib while he does what he does ever get to hear those beats, until now.

I'm writing this quickly on my lunch break so it's not as perfect an article as i would like it to be. i'm just typing from the top of my head.
anyway...

If you know Johnny Bass and/or Oneteron or i have convinced you that you should know about them. then you can download the new album below.

It's Called "War In Your Own Backyard and features a guest appearance from an old friend to Johnny and a swedish emcee that i have alot of respect for, AKEM. There is also a Guest Appearance by Braille Brizzy, neither of these two guests need an introduction if you got your ear to the streets. but if your fresh in the game or only on the surface you might have to google.
okay that's it for now.

Download and enjoy tha raw energy. btw. the download also includes cover art and tracklisting. also don't get confused when you only get one track. the album is delivered as one long mix.

The Fighter - Rocky meets Jerry Springer

Brilliant Film. Marky Mark has never dissapointed me as an actor, and he delivers an incredible performance this time as well. He seems to be very good at picking roles that suit him perfectly. Christian Bale is just as impressive as an actor if not more. His version of Batman is my favorite, and in this film he definitely proved his versatility.

i'm gonna keep this short and to the point.

the story takes place in a town called Lowell. It is about 2 boxers. One is a former promising middle-weight  who is addicted to crack but imagines that he is going to make a comeback. The other main character is the Younger brother who is on a losing streak and looking to turn his luck around. but it proves to be very difficult with a crack addicted brother as his trainer and an attention hungry mother as his manager.
it's a true hollywood underdog trying to make his way to the top story with lots of tension and drama, but a bit more comedy than usual.

This film will have you laughing and crying at the same time, litterally u might feel a little schizophrenic emotionally, but it's cool.
the cinematography is great. creative camera work that keeps you right in the middle of the action.

Believability: Mark is in amazing shape for this film. I have not heard about Micky Ward before. so i do not know his fighting style. but i can say that in this film Mark does not punch like a boxer, he punches like a street brawler in a bar fight. but maybe that was the Real Micky's style as well. other than that. no complaints at all.

Premiers in Swedish theaters on the 11th of March.
