State of the State with L-NO! 2011 edition

What's good Dub V? It's officially 2011, so I figured it was time for a little "State of the State" action. I wrapped up 2010 with a week long trip back to Chuck City for Turkey Day and got a few things accomplished while I was there. First thing on the agenda was to finally hook up my Funk Monster tat (see above), which I did courtesy of fellow Blunt Bro Ozker at Bent Shraeder Tattoos in South Charleston. If you're in the Chuck and looking for ink, look no further than OZ. He's hands down one of the best in the area...look for a possible article/interview with him about Graffiti and Tattooing sometime soon. Also while I was in town I had a chance to make the trek to Fayettenam with Mr. B. Rude to pay a visit to The Yetti and check out some of the new album. All I will tell you is that its BONKERS...no bullshit. Those guys are really onto something special, and I'm positive the album will exceed the hype surrounding it. We also rocked a show at The Empty Glass with The Concept amongst other guests, and from what I'm hearing, Dinosaur Burps killed the X-Mas eve bash there as well. Judging from the photos I've seen, the Glass has never looked more full (no pun intended!)

In other news, Paycheck Game finally released his street album entitled "Steet Value" to such rave reviews that "Street Value 2" is already in the works! We're still waiting on "Autobiography of the Guillotine," and from what I'm hearing it will be well worth the wait. I talked to Check on the phone the other day and he also confirmed that he will be returning to Dub V in the next few months to do a final round of shows in the city where it all started (Morgantown, if you're a noob or otherwise out of the loop)...keep your eyes peeled to Live From The Dub for more updates once everything is confirmed!

Also happening in The Dub..DJ Coutz just dropped his latest "Secret Stash" mixtape, you can find a download link for here both here and on our friends at wvrapscene.com as well. You can also find new tracks every week on wvrapscene.com from the likes of Beckley's own Hand of God aka Daniel Aliff, White Mic, TRG and others, as well as other entertaining message board shenanigans.

Finally....if you haven't checked out Huntington's R.O.B's debut effort "Headphone Music", do so immediately! It's definitely one of the strongest WV debut's in quite some time and features production from Lip Beats, 95 and more! Speaking of Lip Beats, check back VERY soon for an interview with one of the hottest new producers in WV. Also, go cop Redshift/Blueshift from Profit Money if you haven't already, or he may yell at me, haha!

Stay tuned to Live From The Dub for all the latest breaking news, music, videos and more from the best in WV...we're going to be doing big things in 2011!

Yoller at your boy,

L-NO!

"Keeping it real with the awesomist" - L No catches up with B Rude... DayOne!

L No and B Rude performing together at the Meuwl Memorial Show in Morgantown...

Keeping it real with The Awesomist

This next interview is one that’s very near and dear to my heart kiddos. That would be of course, because today’s interview subject is none other than B. Rude (aka Skranton Wiles, The Awesomist, Gingerbread Wolfboy, Bruder, Dr. Brudoculous…ok you get the drift). I’ve known B and his brother Mic Rude since I was in the 6th grade, and young B was just the one of the younger brothers taking shit from the big brothers at any given backyard soccer match/skate sesh.
Since then, as many of you know, B. Rude has gone on to release 4 records both as a solo act and with the Rabble Rousers, Killer Affiliates and as Rude Brothers (plus others). He’s also dropped an entire novel of quotables over the years, both on and off the mic. Since fellow Rabble Rouser and Dayone Media founder Meuwl’s passing one year ago, B’s gone through a bit of a transition. He’s most recently been on tour with the new supergroup Dinosaur Burps (with DJ Squeezle, also of Rabble Rousers), and recording for a new album. Spread the awesome, y’all…

L-NO: How did it feel to finally take your live show to some new venues in new places? You’ve been killing it in WV for years now, but this is your first multi-state tour. How did it come about and what was it like?

B. Rude: Naturally, I was kind of nervous at first… but then I just blocked that out and said "fuck it, fuck 'em if they don’t feel it. I like me and what I do.” I came about getting on the tour by perusing Facebook and saw that my homeboy, Raymond Strife, who had been to WV several times on tour was talking about it and I pretty much invited myself.

L-NO: How did the tour go? What was your favorite show? Tell us a bit about it, and any other random tour shenanigans that may have come about.

B. Rude: The tour went really well. 7,000 Miles in a bitchin Corolla. There were some small snags here and there; nothing major though. Just along the lines of bad sound and not getting paid, but I could really care less about the money. I couldn’t really say which was my favorite show but Lansing is the shit. Played with a couple of good punk bands, had a b-boy breaking in Minneapolis, Wisconsin got a little crazy when we took over this dudes apartment after the show. There are some other shenanigans and debauchery that I can’t really talk about if ya know what I mean.

L-NO: What was the worst show?

B. Rude: There really weren’t any bad shows, everybody we met was really cool.

L-NO: Do you have any plans for future tours or local shows yet?

B. Rude: I do believe (there are shows) December 17th at The Blue Parrot, X-Mas at The Empty Glass, and New Years at The Blue Parrot . Tour plans are soon to be in the works for the spring. If anybody has any connects send them to me at b.rude94@gmail.com.

L-NO: How is the recording going for the new album? You’ve been working down in Fayetteville with The Yetti, has it been different recording with a band as opposed to just yourself and a producer?

B. Rude: Recording has been going really well, got some real ground breaking stuff going on. There’s really not a whole lot of difference, because not only are they playing live instruments they also do a lot of chopping and looping with random obscure samples. Benny C. and The Brad are madmen and very talented dudes in the studio.

L-NO: Do you have a title for it yet or are you still working on that? Who is featured on the album? (Either producers or guest MC’s)

B. Rude: The title is still up in the air but we have been thinking of "Mother Nature Wants You Dead", "Things You Can’t Unhear (Yetti Burps)", "Awesome Stuff We Did When No one Was Looking", “Gingerbread Wolfboy & The Chocodile”, and a few others. I got some people I would like to hopefully get on the album, but I’m not gonna drop any names since there’s been no confirmations as of yet. I’m hoping to get an L -NO verse for the album. Most of the production on this will be by The Yetti and the late great Meuwl.

L-NO: Are there plans to shoot any videos for the album?

B. Rude: Yes there are. I’m just more concerned with getting the recording done first.

L-NO: Do you have plans to do an online store or something similar for people to cop the new album when it’s done, or will you be doing strictly physical copies?

B. Rude: I would like to set something up on the interwebs , but I’m just not tech savvy and I’m lazy as shit!

L-NO: How do you feel your newest music represents the Dayone foundation that’s been built over the last several years?

B. Rude: I think it’s going to represent Dayone bad assidly. Shit just keeps getting better, minus the absence of Meuwl of course, but you know you just gotta keep stuff moving. That’s what he would have wanted.

L-NO: How do you plan on taking that foundation to the next level?

B. Rude: I try not to plan too much, I kind of just go with the flow and let stuff happen but I definitely want Dayone/Rawkid to be known nationwide… we'll start with that.

L-NO: Why haven’t you done a producer/MC tape with L-NO yet? Haha…

B. Rude: You can’t rush the awesome! When the time is right (it’ll happen), plus like I said I’m a lazy fat shit.

L-NO: Shout out your people son son

B. Rude: Shouts to beef jerky, cheap cigs and rotgut whiskey. Carpet, people that were willing to let us take over their homes and put up with our bullshit. Medicinal herbs, Newark trap houses, everyone on the tour(Ray Strife, Dinz, Mr. Faricker, Roebus One & everybody else),TJ Sigmon, beer, and all my Dayone Rawkid fam and the whole state of WV!

Make sure you download the first leaked single off of the album "Your Smart Phone Is Stupid" that we dropped first a while back...

B Rude - Your Smart Phone is Stupid

Two WV Legends in the picture... Jesco White and B Rude


Now on to the music. B Rude has been tempting fans at all of his recent live shows with glimpses of some real hot music off of his upcoming solo album. This first leaked track should do nothing but raise the buzz. Featuring DJ Squeezal on the cuts and some great live instrumentation courtesy of The Yetti the beat is a perfect backdrop for Mr. Brudonculous himself. Holla at my balls at Check Game would say...

Great Meuwl memorial video from Huntington WV

Big thank you's to whoever put this together! Peep the video editing while B Rude is performing Meuwl's verse on "Pinecone" that was performed at Shamrocks in Huntington during the Meuwl memorial show.

A couple of pieces of news...

- Former Charleston resident and producer for a who's who of local MC's CYN has been working with Grammy Award winning producer 9th Wonder and members of the Justus League.... Word is that they have several co-produced beats together and that some might even have some big time placements....

- B Rude is working on a new album featuring collaborations with "The Yetti" aka one of the hardest working live bands in the state. I had the pleasure of listening to some of the music and it is next level....

- SoundVizion will be releasing a new mixtape every month featuring their whole roster. The May edition will be out this weekend and we will have the EXCLUSIVE online link when it drops!

- Whats Good magazine will be making a reappearance shortly with their second edition. The mixtape that they always include will have quite a few real nice tracks on it from both the local Hip Hop/RnB scene and the local Rock scene. Make sure you pick it up when you see it....
