Mick had a show at the Darkroom Monday Night, which was hosted by Leon Rogers and featured DJ G-Spot. “WE BRING THE PRIVILEGE BOTTLE IN THE CLUB!!”

Aaron Levi drops by with the second leak from his 8 week music download series.  And yes, this is the second R&B post of the day. Aaron Levi – “Everyday” (Prod. by WDTH)

Wayne MT and the Upside of Down News crew sit down with legendary Chicago emcee, Juice, to discuss his storied career as a battle emcee, how he found his lyrical voice and what projects he has on deck for 2009. I’d like to know what he thinks about that kid from Arizona using the rap…
