SLUM VILLAGE & THE HIP HOP COMMUNITY MOURN THE LOSS OF BAATIN

Titus "Baatin" Glover
March 1974 - August 2009


This is getting out of hand. We've lost a lot of talented individuals this year and Baatin is no exception. He's had his ups and downs in his career, but was on the upswing before his death. The new Slum Village album is due out Sept. 22nd this year. Details are sketchy at present as to what happened, so instead of dwelling on those, lets celebrate his contribution to Hip Hop. Here is a video to help U remember. This is him (he's the one who gets offered the "con-tract" in the video) and the group he was famous for with Dwele in "Tainted". RIP Baatin.

BRAND NEW PODCAST BY WORLD COAST DJ GEE-O SUPREME

I really hope you guys have been paying attention to whats on the radio. Its like a soap opera. You know... you follow it for awhile, then somethin' else commands your attention and pulls you away before you realize that...'hey!!! I haven't been tuned into my favorite "Hip Hop" station for awhile! I wonder what I've missed'. Then you tune in and guess what... yup! U haven't missed a thing. In fact, its pretty much set where you left off when U last listened. So forget the radio (unless its Sirius or XM). Download my man Gee-O's latest podcast which features great stuff (you've prolly never heard) from D.Julien (he's a beast), Mos Def & Georgia Anne Muldrow, Melanie Fiona & Talib Kweli, Ghostface & MF Doom (they make the most beautiful music 2gether), Gee-O-strumentals, and yes, yours truly, Agent 85 featuring DWyze (the Original Brotha Unda Madness), Ghost (the 7th Samurai of Hip Hop), and Suga Cz (Lady Juggernaut aka Mz. Dirty Work). This is Gee-O at his finest. Check it for yourself. And yes, feedback is always welcome...positive and negative.
