R.I.P. Dvsalias

It’s with a heavy heart I write to tell you we’ve lost Shamalam aka DVSalias aka Scott. He and I go back 25 plus years on the forum and has been down with HipHopHeads since day one. DVS and I shared a lot of fun times together online. We chatted every day on AIM for years talking hiphop, making jokes and just having fun.

He was unique individual, and a great guy. We still talked from time to time, but he had his demons and his health was really bad so it was not as frequent as I hoped and that’s partially my fault as well. Scott was integral to this website specifically the forums. He was a legend. He was great artist and MC and he did drop an album back in the day but didn’t really release it other than giving it to friends or people grabbing it from him in Columbus.

I have the album and now that he’s gone I’d like to immortalize him by releasing it here and online. The album features production from the legendary DJ Drastic and features Bruce Wayne and Imo it’s a classic that’s never been heard, I hope you find some enjoyment and possibly become a fan of an extremely slept on MC.  It’s called “sham’sDvsalias”. Also, Here’s an exclusive track he did for us in the 2004 where he rapped on a answering machine to Illmatic aka Pete Allah.

R.I.P. SHAM AKA DVSALIAS AKA SCOTT OVERBEAY, I’ll miss you brother.

Jiles – Suspect/Victim (Produced by Grubby Pawz) (Official Music Video)

Jiles hailing from Van Buren crew and Brockton, MA is criminally slept on. I was going through some joints that I missed this morning and this one’s from last year but, this deserves bigger numbers. Keep an eye on this cat, he had one of my albums of the year a couple years back with the Mookie Blaylock release.

Mighty  Casey On Spittin In Da Wip Ep.330

I don’t know how I missed this, but when you going digging on YouTube you come across some crazy drops. Crazy Al Cayne is the guy and have featured him here many times over the years. He does BMX content, he also did great song parodies, he also has this Spittin in da Wip series. He enlists Boston legend The mighty Casey, best known for his underground classic “white girls”. Check this Casey blacks out.

R.I.P. Megalon aka Tommy Gunn

It’s with a heavy heart I write this post to say Rest in peace and farewell to Megalon aka Tommy Gunn of Monsta Island Czars. This is another devastating one. Tommy was just sending me music a couple months back and now this. This has been a terrible year for losing Czars, Kong, X-ray, Junclassic and now Megalon.

From my collection

Megalon seemed to be the front runner of the Czars in the early days he dropped a couple underground gems Penny for Your Thoughts that dropped on Grimms label and became somewhat of an underground classic and rarity for those in the know. This album was later re-released a year or two ago on friends of the site FXCK RXP label. This got fans like myself clamoring for new music.

Despite output lacking in the later years my brothers at Grandgood uncovered some interesting videos of Megalon actually showing his face and spitting some gems under his moniker Black Geezus. Megalon left us with some great music and created some great memories. He will be missed. My condolences to his children, friends, family, the Czars and his brother Ray Long.

RIP MEGALON AKA TOMMY GUNN
