NEW' THE PHEATURES KING OF THE BEAN VOL. 2 HOSTED BY EVIL EMPIRE

To know Smoke Bulga you have to take it back to where it all began and the city that's expectation's he carries on his back , Boston Massachusetts. Born Allen Keon Lee in the early 80's and raised in Bostons south end growing up Smoke heard rap music pouring from boom boxes and watched street fashions flourish as kids started mimicking the styles of their hip-hop heroes -- Adidas sneakers, tracksuits, and extra-thick gold chains.Having first picked up the mic and committed to a life devoted to hip hop at the young age of 11 he quickly earned the first part of his moniker "Smoke Bulga" by "making the mic smoke" with his lyrical capabilities and rhythmic flow "One day, a kid in my class came in with a demo tape. He told me he wrote the lyrics and did everything himself, and I thought, 'Wow, I think I can do that."'Smoke recalls "That night I wrote my first rhyme, and the next day, the kids didn't believe I wrote it. Right then, I knew I had something. I knew I'd found my niche.". Adding "Bulga" to the end as a play on the name of notorious, FBI most wanted Boston mobster Whitey Bulger to represent his hardened street side a rap star was created .Smoke Bulga quickly began to live the "phast life" of a Boston teen earning full respect both on the block and on the stage.

Smoke soon signed a major deal with Sony/Epic landing him in national magazines such as XXL and The Source as a new artist to watch, he instantly became a hometown favorite and a role model to a generation of Boston artists."People in Boston don't get to go to the clubs to see Bentley's and Benzes pull up , they go to the club to see there enemies, they don't see diamonds and jewels , unless they see Bulga , I'm all they got to represent a superstar".

Now the rest of the world is about to see Smoke Bulga reach his undeniable superstar potential in 08. With a Dj Drama Mixtape in stores Nationwide, features from artists such as Fabolous and the late Stack Bundles, being picked by Vibe Magazine as one of the top 50 rappers on Myspace and gracing the covers of DVD's such as Cheddar DVD and Ghetto Report DVD Boston may be where he started but the world is about to be his stage.

PA Jewelry

Perpetual Anastasia Hayfron was born in Worcester, Massachusetts to parents of West African descent. Her mother is from Liberia and her father is from Ghana. In 2008 she graduated from Burncoat High School in Worcester. During that time, she participated in the T.A.P (Teen Apprenticeship Program) program for two years and took several art classes, specifically, glassblowing, textiles, wood and metals. She took what she learned from that program and implemented those skills to create her own jewelry.

Perpetual transferred from Bay State College in 2009 and currently attends New England Institute of Art pursuing a B.S in Fashion and Retail Management. Since moving to the Boston area she has collaborated with local designers such as Olivia Chow, and Samenta Agee. She also displayed her work during Boston Fashion Week in 2009 and received reviews from the Boston Bazaar stating her work as “revolutionary” and that “Her wire pieces of bronze, coppers, and gold with splashes of color transformed art structures into couture jewelry of the future.”

Perpetual pieces consist of brass, copper, and steel wire and are inspired by simple shapes. Her pieces are one of a kind and come in a variety of shapes and sizes.


DMO: When did it all start?

I created my first piece of jewelry when I was fifteen at this program called T.A.P (teen apprenticeship program) I participated in during high school. Perpetual Anastasia Jewelry didn't officially launch until September 27, 2009 when I did my first showcase in Boston Fashion Week with iMan Fashion Group.

DMO: What's behind Perpetual Anastasia Jewelry?

What's behind Perpetual Anastasia Jewelry is my determination to live up to my name. Perpetual means everlasting and I want my pieces to leave an "everlasting" impression on everyone who sees and wears them.

DMO: Where did you get your artist flare from?

Since I was a child I always was doing creative things from drawing pictures to creating my own nail polish colors. I went to Girls Incorporated of Worcester everyday and you could always find me in the arts and crafts room or the kitchen since I love to eat. The women on my mother's side of the family are also creative. My mother was a caterer, I have a cousin who designs clothing, and a sister who is an interior designer.

DMO: How do you strive to be unique?

The thing that makes me unique is that I don't strive to be. I am who I am and that's all I can be. Everyone in the world was born unique so there's no need to try we just need to all be ourselves.

DMO: Is there a designer that you find inspiration from?

I pull much of my inspiration from simple shapes such as squares, triangles, circles etc.

DMO: Besides jewelry, what other aspects of design or fashion would you like to get involved in?

Jewelry is my first love. I've been playing with the idea of creating my own textiles and hair accessories. I'd also like to get involved in the legal aspects of the fashion industry.

DMO: How are you finding your way in pursuing something great?

I'm finding my way in pursuing something great by know where I'm going and not forgetting where I came from. I also surround myself with positive, intelligent, innovative, creative individuals which provides a positive atmosphere around me. I feel as long as I stay positive, dedicated to my craft, determined, open minded and harbor a burning desire to learn each an everyday whenever I can there is no way I cannot succeed.

Big Boi Splits With Jive & Talks About ‘Purple Ribbon’ Label

In the story Big Boi details the reason behind the split with Jive Records & talks about his guest appearances on his upcoming album/Purple Ribbon Label. For More On The Full Interview Visit: http://www.ozonemag.com/

 So you are officially signed to Def Jam Records now? The last time this news leaked out, you came back and refuted it.
I’m signed to Def Jam as of a week ago. Jive let me go. I asked to be released due to creative differences. I’m back with the man [Antonio “L.A.” Reid] who understands my music and the creative process. Much respect to Barry Weiss at Jive though. Much thanks to him for respecting my craft and letting me do what I gotta do.

You said the final straw was when Jive asked you to record your own version of Lil Wayne’s “Lollipop.” Why would they think that would be a good idea?
They don’t know us like that. Up until Speakerboxx/The Love Below, Outkast was not a radio-driven group. We are Soul Funk crusaders. The type of music we make, we weren’t seeing eye-to-eye with the label on it. For a man to tell me to go make my own version of “Lollipop?” That doesn’t even sound right. That’s what the president of Jive told me. When he told me that, that’s when I had to start putting my own songs out. I was leaking songs just trying to figure out how to make the right moves. I want to put this album out under the right circumstances. Things weren’t jelling over there.

There was a time that whenever an Outkast song left the studio, whether by design or by mistake, radio was all over it almost instantly. Why aren’t we hearing any of the joints you leaked on the air?
It’s programming. The people are not picking the music, it’s the suits now picking the music for the people to listen to. There’s not a lot of respect for it. It’s all about the dollar, so they want what sells the fastest. With music being such a fast burn nowadays, there’s a new song today and a new song tomorrow and another one on Wednesday. My thing is, my focus is to make timeless classics and not conform into what’s going on now. Ice Cube said it best: “Don’t follow trends, set them.” Don’t let them dictate to you. I’ve been doing that, and it’s working.
With all the success he’s achieved, you’d think Big Boi would be the last person to have any record label drama. He’s proven that he can make great music and sell a couple records. No Outkast album has gone less than platinum. When you combine all of their albums totals, it reaches 25 million. That’s more than Luther Vandross, Sade, Earth, Wind and Fire, Green Day and Nirvana, to name a few. They are the only rap group to win six Grammys. Aside from Run-DMC, they are widely considered the greatest rap group of all time.
So it goes without saying that whatever Big Boi has been doing for the past 17 years must be working. Unfortunately, the industry doesn’t work the same way. The consensus right now is that “music sucks” and if you’re not on the radio or 106th & Park, you’re not going to do well. Anybody that really still listens to rap music will tell you that there’s actually quite a bit of great music out there, it’s just not being broadcast. But the reality is that yes, for an artist of Big Boi’s stature, radio and TV has to be an option that is exploited. Big knows this and has made the best adjustments he can without “selling out” in the process.

 What’s the status of your label Purple Ribbon?
I’ve still got Purple Ribbon. I have [artists like] Vonnegutt, Janelle Monae, Blackowned C-Bone and Cutty Cartel (formerly of Jim Crow, the group that also featured producer Polow Da Don). I just supply like the dope house. I have three rooms in the studio and a squad of producers. That’s how I’ve been able to work and also get complete albums [done] on them.




"Dear Mama"

"Tupac Shakur Has Been Added The Library Of Congress National Recording Registry — An outspoken critic of profanity and violence in hip-hop culture — with work from a rapper who was shot and killed in 1996 is notable, but organizers said Tupac’s “Dear Mama” was a heartfelt homage to mothers struggling with addiction and poverty.

It’s also a “relatively tame” recording, and the cultural impact of hip-hop is undeniable, program coordinator Steve Leggett said. Tupac is the third rapper inducted, following Grandmaster Flash and Public Enemy."

 DMO's Exclusive Interview With 617's Own Dizzy !


DMO : Why Rap?


DIzzy: For those who don’t know I am a young, hardworking, and talented artist that brings forth a diverse selection of music along with my own sound. I am an artist that has the ability to connect with various demographics of people, and unify while connecting. I feel people should listen to me because no matter what record they hear me on I always have something to say. Everyone’s a rapper nowadays and it doesn’t upset me because, it’s the rappers that actually are saying something in their music that are remembered. I want to be remembered! Great music isn't hard to enjoy.


DMO : What motivates you to rap and who do you believe is you're biggest inspiration?


DIzzy: Everytime I write music I always have my fans and supporters in mind, because if it wasn't for them I wouldn't be where I'm at in my career. My quote " Motivate The Motivators " is about creating a cycle of hardwork, support, and unity. Being motivated by hardwork of others, and then also working hard and being the motivation of the next individual. My experiences in life are my biggest inspiration. I put my life over instrumentals and it just so happens people can relate , and love it.


DMO: In few words, how would you describe your style/lyrics?


DIzzy: In your face, clean, iPod must, music!


DMO: Have you collaborate with anyone and who?


DIzzy: I've had the honor of working with artist such as 3 4 Da Stripes, L-Ski, Man-U-ILL, Radio City, Vendetta, Picasso P, D- Money just to name a few. I enjoy working with all these artist, i support all artist and enjoy making great music. So if you have a fan base and you want to collab hit me up, Bookingdizzy@gmail.com.


DMO: What is your opinion on the Rap game in Boston and the industry?


DIzzy: I love my city and always will. I cant speak to much on the past but the future is looking very good. I feel the talent is here for the most part, and artist are becoming more professional and are comming together to create great music. So Overall the future for Boston music is bright. We just have to grind to get the respect we deserve.


DMO Who is your favorite rapper of today?


DIzzy: I honestly am a fan of my music. I feel before anyone else can support and believe in you , you have to support and believe in yourself. I started off a fan, and have been my hugest critic. Other than myself I have to say my favorite rapper is Lil Wayne. He's one of few people that motivates me to work hard just by seeing his face or his name, and to me thats powerful.
One million records sold in one week any other artist would be poppin bottles, he was recording. So that right there shows you his work ethic. Im proud to be a fan of Lil Wayne.


DMO: If there is any other talent that you would focus on besides rapping, what would it be?


DIzzy: I'm a pretty good football player, #2 from the Jeremiah Burke Highschool is a respected jersey. If it wasnt for breaking my ankle a few years back we probly wouldnt be having this interview.. At one point in time football was all I knew but I no longer have that type of love for the sport. I'd pick music any day.


DMO: Where do you see yourself in the future with this talent of yours?


DIzzy: I plan to be a household name, everyday i wake up i will continue to work hard and put out quality music until that is a reality. At the end of all of this I want people to love and respect my music. I want to be a respected artist in the game forever. I want to headline major shows , sell out arenas. Sell millions of records and tour the world. I want to be that success story.


And if possible effect another individuals life in a positive way. "Motivate The Motivators" -Dizzy
