KNOSAGE & Novek welcome Adam (Advizer) and Roberto (Cybervato)!Roberto (El Cybervato) is an interdisciplinary performance artist and educator. Sifuente's projects include: #exsanguination, a collaboration with new media artist jonCates and Aram Han Sifuentes (2016-2019); “Reculmulations: Digital Avatars and Performance objects,” a collaboration with digital artist Claudia Hart and composer Edmund Campion (Black and White Gallery NYC).As co-founder of the San Francisco based performance troupe La Pocha Nostra, he has performed and conducted workshops with La Pocha across the US, Canada, Europe and Latin America. Sifuentes has co-authored two books with Guilermo Gomez-Peña; most recently “Exercises for Rebel Artists: Radical Performance Pedagogy” Routledge 2011. As a performance pedagogue, he has been Artistic Director of the Trinity College/La MaMa Performing Arts Program NYC. Sifuentes is currently Professor of performance at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.The 1990s saw hip-hop's influence extend well beyond the confines of the traditional large metropolitan areas (New York, Los Angeles, Houston, Atlanta, et al.), initially spreading into the suburbs, where it infiltrated every socio-economic strata and crossed every cultural boundary, then ultimately found its way into smaller regional niches, such as, in the case of the progressive rap combo Oddjobs, Minneapolis and St. Paul. With the equally forward-looking artists of the Rhymesayers Entertainment enterprise, the group not only helped to put Minnesota on the hip-hop map but, inspired by previous mavericks like De La Soul, the Beastie Boys, Hieroglyphics, and Freestyle Fellowship, also helped to tie rap's coastal-based, old-school past with its visionary, postmodern, untethered future.The individuals who would eventually form the official Oddjobs lineup originally came together in 1996 as members of the 30-odd-strong Cases of Mistaken Identity (CMI) collective, a rotating cadre of rappers, DJs, b-boys, and graffiti writers drawn mostly from a pair of local high schools. By 1998, Minneapolis MCs Advizer (Adam Waytz) and Crescent Moon (Alexei Casselle), and St. Paul producers/DJs Anatomy (Stephen Lewis) and Deetalx (Devon Callahan), had gravitated toward one another and began performing together at all-ages venues as Oddjobs, occasionally backed live by local band Heiruspecs. Not long thereafter, the group released its first tape, Case Studies, with CMI and began to earn a measure of local exposure. The foursome's entrée into more widespread underground circles came the next year with its debut indie full-length, Conflict and Compromise. They attracted even more notice within the hip-hop community after Crescent Moon's strong showing at the battle competition of the 1999 Scribble Jam, and via his frequent spot as an auxiliary MC for Eyedea + Abilities of Rhymesayers fame. Advizer and Deetalx made the move to Brooklyn in the fall of that year to attend college, but the members kept Oddjobs alive via tapes, telephone calls, and commutes, resulting in the 2000 EP Absorbing Playtime. At around the same time, the Funboy EP was pressed in a limited edition of 5000 and officially released only in Japan. (It quickly began making the rounds in the United States as a bootleg.) Across the Tracks, a Deetalx mix CD, and Live at the Bryant Lake Bowl, with Chicago's Typical Cats and Heiruspecs, both appeared in 2001.The full CMI crew -- by that time down to Oddjobs and MCs Nomi and Naimles -- had planned to follow with a full-length project. Instead Nomi (Mario Demira) joined as an official member (CMI Productions became the business front for the group), and the three remaining Minnesotans made the final move to New York the following autumn. Success and respect came surprisingly quickly for the quintet in the Big Apple. Its 12" single "Blue Collar Holler" rose to the sixth spot on the CMJ college radio chart. (A subsequent remix of the song attracted guest appearances from Aesop Rock and Vast of Cannibal Ox.) Oddjobs shared stages with or opened for De La Soul, DJ Shadow, Blackalicious, El-P, and Atmosphere, among others. In 2002 the crew released its first nationally distributed full-length, Drums, on its own indie startup label Third Earth Music. The album was lauded by fans, fellow rappers, and critics alike. They briefly partnered with Eyedea for the extremely rare toss-off cassette Whereabouts of Hidden Bridges. The collaboration also accounted for a track on the next official Oddjobs recording, the six-song The Shopkeeper's Wife EP, released in the spring of 2003. ~ Stanton Swihart

As we entered the new millennium in 2000, I started to seriously think about finally starting my own record label. From doing my Time Travel Radio Show, being Co-Owner of Caught In The Middle Magazine, hosting/organizing Scribble Jam, and running my Rage Promotions company, I was regularly meeting indie or unsigned artists with no outlet for their music, and I hoped I could help make a difference. Aesop Rock and Vordul of Cannibal Ox were planned to help me launch the label with exclusive releases, so I could then shift the focus to promoting some new and upcoming talent; Monkey Wrench Factory, Alltruisms, and more! But, this is the label that never was, so what happened?

Sage also reiterates his valid position regarding Spotify and he also shares a hilarious story of the time his grandma took him to see the movie Gremlins when he was 8. They deliberate over lyrical content of 2 Live Crew & other rap groups of the 90s and how that music is looked at in today's era.

Sage may spark controversy with his position on Die Hard being labeled as a Christmas movie and he also has a message for Mr. Dibbs via our Question From Dibbs segment, regarding his beard-clippings which were obtained by Dibbs at a Scribble Jam many years ago. And finally some very exciting announcements are made regarding Sage's long awaited podcast, The Hard Lurk, upcoming Strange Famous projects and most exciting, a Strange Famous festival in Denver in 2023?

On this episode of the DOD45 show, episode 40, @ArtByTai & Adrienne have a chat with Dope Knife, while Tai sketches him a skull-inspired drawing. They discuss Mack's newest album The Dope One, released on @fakefourinc , and his family's journey from Liberia in the 90's fleeing the Civil War and ending up in Savannah, GA. They also discuss the origins of the moniker Dope Knife & how it reflects his grimey side, and Mack comments on Jeru the Damaja's influence on hip-hop. He also shares his appreciation for Ice-T and the discussion eventually imagines a scenario with a Dope Knife/Ice-T collaboration. Knife admits he wishes he had the opportunity to participate in the original Scribble Jam battles, and at some point they have a conversation about zombie ants and the state of Dope's podcast Waiting on Reparations. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/artbytai/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/artbytai/support

This is My Years Through My Ears, a series about influential songs that have shaped influential lives. Each guest breaks down the soundtrack to their life story, picking the most personally impactful songs to represent each chapter along the way. My name is Andres Tardio and today's guest is Illmac. He started his career as a battle rapper and as a musician. That's how I got to know him. And lately, it's been cool to watch him step into the animation world with his Rap Off series - you've probably seen those clips go viral - and by jumping into the intersection of music and NFTs. I sat down with Illmac to talk about his life story through the music that he loves most. Like I do with every guest, I asked him to pick two songs to represent every chapter of his life and then we broke it all down. We talked about everything from childhood to Scribble Jam to this newfound success and everything in between. And we did it all through the music that shaped him. Pre-Teens 1. Run-DMC — “You Talk Too Much” 2. 2Pac — “Me Against the World” Teens 3. DMX — “Ruff Ryders' Anthem” 4. Eminem — “Rock Bottom” Twenties 5. Lil Wayne — “Hustler Musik” 6. Kendrick Lamar— “Cut You Off” Thirties 7. Lil Wayne — “Glory” 8. Mac Miller — “Come Back to Earth”

In our final installment, we got none other than the man himself- Fat Nick. For those unfamiliar, Nick was also one of the gentlemen that not only brought us Strength Magazine. This gentlemen has also brought us Scribble Magazine. As well as, the infamous Scribble Jam. Yes. The same Scribble Jam that brought yall Eminem. Make no mistakes about it- Fat Nick is 90s LEGEND, in 2 games. We discuss the early days of Scribble. The rise & fall of Strength Magazine. Swap some wild tour stories. And, all things skateboarding. I'd like to thank both of these gentlemen for their time. And, knowledge dropped. So many culture gems throughout! Without further delay. Lets get to it!- Clyde Singleton

In this episode I’m joined by Sage Francis, a rapper who was independent before claiming indie was cool. A veteran of the underground battle scene in which he won the Scribble Jam emcee battle in 2000, Sage was early in adopting a tour-heavy business model that found him relentlessly doing shows and hitting smaller markets in the 2000s. From the jump, Sage has never been afraid to occupy his own unique space in the landscape of rap music, incorporating influences from different genres of music, a rotating cast of collaborators, and a writing style that ranges from the fiercely political to the vulnerably personal. He was the first hip hop artist signed to legendary punk rock label Epitaph, and he would later go on to launch his own Strange Famous Records, where he continues to release his own projects as well as the works of other artists. Songs discussed: "Jah Didn't Kill Johnny" ('A Healthy Distrust', 2005) "Grace" ('Copper Gone,' 2014) "Doomage" feat. Brother Ali and Slug (prod. MF DOOM) (Non-Prophets "Damage" single, 2004) "Whoremonger" ('Still Sickly Business,' 2005) "Underground For Dummies" ('Human the Death Dance', 2007) Sage Francis: strangefamousrecords.com cantknocktheshuffle.com questionshiphop.com instagram.com/seandammit  twitter.com/seandammit  Email: cantknocktheshuffle@gmail.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Happy Valentines Day! We got a very special guest on the show; Rapper, and now published author, Mega Ran joins the show to talk about his mom, being a rapper, and his new book Dream Master. Here's where you can snag a copy of his memoir: https://dreammasterbook.com/ Here's a little about Mega Ran from his website: "Random, aka Mega Ran, aka RandomBeats... Teacher, Rapper, Hero. Guinness World Record Holder. When LA Weekly said that Ran’s “fanbase and niche audiences are growing at a rate not seen since Tech N9ne,” they meant it. A former middle school teacher, Mega Ran (formerly Random) blends education, hip-hop and gaming in amazing new ways, penetrating the farthest reaches of the galaxy with his unique rhyme style and electric performances. Ran cut his teeth in the city of Philadelphia as a moonlighting emcee and producer, performing, freestyle rapping, producing and later engineering at a studio. After relocating to Phoenix, competing in the Scribble Jam emcee battle championships and taking an early exit, Ran almost quit before he was even started, when a creative lightning bolt struck, and a fire was lit. Ran’s music and story have been shared on stages across the world, on television (ABC/NBC News, ESPN, Portlandia, Tosh.O, WWE Wrestling) and on Billboard, where four of his albums have placed in the Top 2000 His most recent release is the critically acclaimed album “2 Hands Up,” a collaboration with Young RJ of the group Slum Village. Today, Mega Ran is no longer a teacher by title, but maintains a rigorous touring and recording schedule, traveling the world to entertain and educate through the gift of rhyme."

Sol Rising soon became one of America's top scratch DJs, winning second place at the DMC, the world's most prestigious DJ competition and first place at Scribble Jam, the same competition that Eminem competed in along with other notable underground artists. Now a successful Producer with 16 albums released, Sol Rising has been streamed over 42 million times on Spotify and Apple music.

As someone who is obsessed with the rhythm of the soul, it's only natural that Cello invites RJD2 onto the podcast to talk about his journey as a musician right before he breaks ground on his new album 'The Fun Ones'. From fatherhood, to tales of Def Jux and Scribble Jam, to his own legacy as a record label owner, we run the gamut to get behind the mind of someone who has been making original electronic music for 20 years.

Illmaculate Talks Dropping Out, His History Of Backpacker Group Names, His Pivotal Scribble Jam Win and Performs “Shine” Live In StudioI met Illmaculate when he was 16 years old on his first trip to California. He was already getting flown out of state by promoters to battle in their events. The Portland bred rapper has spent half his life pursuing a career as a rapper. He started in middle school.It felt like he put the whole world onto our West Coast scene when he won Scribble Jam in '04. He's still considered one of the best working battle rappers a decade later.The current KOTD champion talks about dropping out of school and his history of ultra backpacker crew names. We also go really deep into the pivotal moment he won Scribble Jam.–Lee See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

A-Class is one of the most consistent battle rappers in the game, and he's earned respect in Grind Time, King Of The Dot and countless other battle leagues. We first met at a house show in 2003, and I've followed his career ever since. I had a great time getting the inside scoop on how the battle rap world works. He told me about going from high school battles to Scribble Jam to the modern battle era. He talked about being excited by seeing how the battle world has evolved, and being inspired by the challenge of having to perpetually write more bars for upcoming opponents. We also talk about the strangeness of grown men tearing each other down with racial jokes. This week, Mike Riley came with a tight homage to Eazy E's Eazy-Duz-It. It all went down at The Lineup Room.
