Brainstorm & Choklate on Sunday Night Sound Session

This past Sunday night's show of Sound Session was packed full of flava on KUBE 93. You can catch DJ Hyphen and J. Moore from 10:45pm-12:15am. Though, if you're the type to hit the sack before that manic Monday for work, you can always catch the archive of any one show in the past here.

Okay, now that that's out of the way. Brainstorm's (Dyme Def) collaboration with Young Buck called, I Got You, was premiered on radio this past weekend. In addition, Choklate dropped by the show to talk a bit about what's poppin off with her. She'll actually be performing a two dates at Jazz Alley beginning tonight. Click here for more information.

Seattlest Reviews the Graffiti Rock Beat Battle

img src: Brainstorm
Katelyn over at Seattlest has her take on the Graffiti Rock beat battle held at The Sunset this past weekend. Click here for the full article.

In hiphop, love and war, strategy is right up there with sheer technical skill and musicianship; Rudy not only was on the winning left side of the stage (hooked up to a Mac built to play hard beats) but also brought some of his best drum-crunching, creative beats to a first round battle he didn't think he'd win. We are fond of Rudy, and surprisingly fond of his beats, but it was certainly a shocker to see Brain dismissed so early in the evening.

Myx has launched a new hiphop lifestyle show called Built From Skratch. Seattle's own Dyme Def are featured on the Built From Skratch website. Another W for the town! Click here to read the full article on Dyme Def.

The dynamics that exist between Fearce Villain, S.E.V. and Brainstorm as comrades dates back to grade school. They played together and stayed together. Now after seven years of creating music and performing live, these young men are ready for almost anything the music business will bring them. Dyme Def has had a few extremely successful street anthems in the Seattle area. “Breathe Easy,”" Get Down” and,” The Game Needs Me” all produced by Brainstorm. Also, “Clap Clap” produced by BeanOne are all on their way to becoming Northwest Classics. Ultimately Dyme Def has got what it takes: the creativity, the drive, and that urban flare that makes Hip Hop a way of life for them.

D. Black - This Is Why Video Release Party

Miz (RLC) VS. Brainstorm (Dyme Def) as heard on KEXP Streetsounds

So, I'm rollin up to Seatown after visitin the rents and after following this whole situation with Miz of RLC goin at the Dyme Def camp, what the fcuk do I hear on the radio? I hear a familiar voice and sounded like Miz as well as SP were in the studio on B-Mello's Streetsounds show.

Both tracks goin at Dyme Def were played from Miz and SP during the 6 o'clock hour if my memory serves me correctly.

Afterwards, B-Mello asked Miz why he was goin at Dyme Def in response he indicated that an innocent bystander known as a mutual friend of both parties unexpectedly was caught in the crossfire triggering the exchange of words on wax/mp3/record (whatever you may call it). Sounds like this could get interesting. Though IMO it's nothing. However, it's better heard on the stream at KEXP than for me to even attempt to explain what was airing at the time. The archived stream of this should be up tomorrow clicking here.

At the end of the day, all I really got from this was that Miz is challenging anyone and everyone within the city. From the sound of it, he doesn't mind being tested. Anyone else catch Streetsounds this evening? Let's bully! (c) Wilmer Valderrama
