  • Polyrhythm Addicts Say Hip Hop's in an Emergency
    Polyrhythm Addicts Say Hip Hop's in an Emergency Written by Robert ID3517 Thursday, 29 March 2007 14:17 - The need to "save" hip hop has been talked about so much, it's practically a cliche. Every day, it seems another new hip hop emcee comes out and proclaims themselves the Patron Saint of rap, enlightening the masses with "the real hip hop.” The irony is that such posturing achieves a level of false grandeur, similar in kind to the bling-and-murder rap it professes to mock. But what happens when you bring together four cats with decades of experience combined in the game? In 1999, just as hip-hop was turning the corner into an era defined more by liars & loot than lyrics & truth, a hip hop super group dropped a bomb on the industry. Actually, maybe supernova's a better word, as the 10 tracks quickly burned an indelible image into the consciousness of its listeners before becoming a victim, like so many others, of the business side of the game. Now, the Polyrhythm Addicts (DJ Spinna, Shabaam Sahdeeq, Mr. Complex and scorching new member Tiye Phoenix) return with the May 2007 release of Break Glass… at a time when honest hip hop groups are so desperately needed. “Right now, hip-hop’s in an emergency,” says Sahdeeq. “Nas said, ‘Hip-hop is dead.'' We think it can still be saved. You can see it. All you gotta do is just break the emergency glass and it's right there. Break Glass… guarantees a return to the time when flow and beats actually mattered, yet sees the group maturing both artistically and emotionally from their debut.

  • (Aka Skillionaire, the Polo Rican) Is One of Hip Hop's Legendary Artists
    THIRSTIN HOWL BIO Thirstin Howl the 3rd (aka Skillionaire, The Polo Rican) is one of Hip Hop’s legendary artists and influential icons. Of Puerto Rican descent from the Marcus Garvey Village projects in Brownsville, Brooklyn, New York, Thirstin first became immersed in Hip Hop culture as a graffiti writer and a b-boy dancer in the early 80’s. Thirstin is also co-founder of the Lo Lifes, the Brooklyn street fashion gang of the late 1980’s that has now expanded to become a Hip Hop organization leading the way in fashion, rap music, graffiti, film and literary works. He first gained notoriety in 1997 via The Source Magazine’s Unsigned Hype (Sept. 97) whilst teaming with eminem for Los Angeles’ Rap Olympics. Since then, Thirstin Howl the 3rd has consistently and independently manufactured albums, videos, movies, a clothing line and published literature for over three decades. As an MC, Thirstin Howl the 3rd is a legendary stylist with an idiosyncratic tempo, dynamic word usage and classic punchlines through some of the most cleverest song structures ever recorded. It has made him a cultural icon with content that merges the experiences of the Puerto Rican community (the oft ignored co-creators of Hip Hop culture’s founding elements), the most impoverished areas of Black and Brown New York City and the specific insights as a founder of the Lo Lifes, being a fashion icon, a survivor of the prison industrial complex and cultural arts visionary. From the cult classic debut, Skillionaire LP, intended as a demo, that introduced a grimy and refreshingly unpolished world wildings to 2017’s Skillmatic that reveals a master of tempos, complex phrasing that stretches to Spanish and spanglish and fully fleshed topic execution, Thirstin Howl’s MC catalog is all time great.
