Just got some terrible news that the brother Warcloud aka Holocaust passed away. I was told he died in police custody which is a tragic end to his story. He was truly a gifted and unique MC as well as individual. He is probably best known for his legendary verse on the Bobby Digital album. They even named the track after him “Holocaust”. He had a slew of other solid underground releases that I’d suggest you check out. I was lucky enough to meet him one time and get this flick on the streets of Boston.
RJ Payne is easily one of the illest rappers right now. His concepts are top tier, and lyrically he’s a murderer. He gets up with Method Man and Deck again and serves up a slapper. Payne!
The GZA has been in Boston the past fews days visiting the most elite schools in the country picking scientists and other genius brains. The other day he stopped by Harvard University and gave a lecture for the Black Mens Forum and basically told the story of his life. The Crypt was in the place to be and we we’re taking video which was prohibited…. Sadly our video was shot basically at the wall but I was able to extract the audio for your listening pleasure. I wasnt able to catch the whole thing but I got about 30 mins of the event. It was a really cool event and it was really nice to hear the story of the GZA from the GZA.
Recently someone requested that I re-up my GZA/Genius Harvard Lecture, I really had trouble tracking this down via my own files but thankfully some friends specifically Claaa7 from Wu-Tang Corp/claaa7 blogspot came through with the assist as they saved my OG upload, salute!

Rev just hit me up with a fire joint he cooked up with God ILLA, called Wu Wednesday and because it’s Wu Wednesday we had to serve Y’all. DJ Flipcyide with the cuts. Really nice track here. Btw going forward I’ll have a wu tang related post every Wednesday.
