And finally we have the footage from the closer of Leaders of the New Cool – Mic Terror.  I will say this in all honesty:  Mic Terror is one of the dopest doing it right now – and he’s about to show and prove. Unfortunately, the light went out on Brandon’s camera, so Mic performance…

No Frito Lay.

Today, the Rap-Up reported that ‘Ye is set to release a deluxe CD/DVD package of his VH1 Storytellers performance on January 5th, 2010.  The DVD includes his performance, unreleased footage and interview clips.   808s & Heartbreaks grey suit not included. Come to think of it, didn’t someone already release a mixtape of this?  via Rap Radar

R. Raven caught this footage of Billahgans Island and Heron going at eachother in front of the Darkroom, with the likes of Big Wiz, Scheme and Hi $peed watching on. Besides the lunchroom, outside of hip hop events is the best place to catch a good roast session. Now that I think about it, that’s…

There were a couple surprise guests last night @ Chicago’s Leaders of the New Cool event – and the Elevator Hustler was the first to rip. Much appreciation to GLC for swinging by on the last minute tip to perform a few songs for the crowd.  His stage show was extra polished and professional.  Believe…

Those who came out last night witnessed an exclusive treat first hand – Mikkey’s world premiere of his recent collabo with Lupe Fiasco entitled “I’m Gone” (produced by David “DA” Doman), which will be featured on Mikk’s debut album Chicago: The Photo Album. Unfortunately, Lupe was not there to add his verse, and Mikk only performed…

Now when the Bogus Boys took the stage last night, they absolutely sent it up.  It was a definite contrast from the earlier set (ADaD), but the energy was uncanny.  The whole Infared Music camp was on stage with Count, Moonie and Rugg providing the music – and E with the colorful commentary.  Unfortunately, the soundman almost got…
