First off a annoucment east coast underground central will be moving to a official domain in may 2013 new name change new goals details coming soon. what i am here to discuss though is my resignment from 95% of the lehigh valley hip-hop scene. over the 5 years ive been blogging and supporting my home town ive noticed the unperfessionlism and blaytant dumbassersy the valley has to offer. There is alot of talent in the valley but as far as the attitude heart and maturity to make it does not exist. There are infact artist who allready have buzz in the underground and that is commendable but they don't rept the valley and honestly i comend them for that. Not being labled from a area of frauds and wanna b's. Sure call me a dick rider because im a more true hip-hop head been called that my whole run cus most of my higher ratings were to artist like june marx godilla adlib and king magnetic. But i appriacate every style of hip-hop. the artist i actually respected the most (R.I.P) is daze dysh the artist i had probally trashed the most on the blog. He always tried to prove me wrong that he had talent and would step his game up and did just that with wicked thoughts. back to the matter at hand though. A good magority of lehigh valley emcees have the kanye west complex. They think there gods that can do anything to and get a way with it. Even high then mainsteam artist with platinum records and millions of bucks. Years ago a allentown based emcee refused to give juelz santana his mic after opening up a set and juelz left without performing making fans loose there money because the artist they paid for never went on. What type of bitch ass move is that you should of felt privalaged a artist at that magnitude even let you share the stage. Then there was the coke boys robbery now the joe budden innocdent. the only ones who aggree that throwing chairs and beer was commendable are the homies of the camerman. Shit local clubs wont even let him enter cus of his disgracness, Even worse was the camera man was a local emcee this blog showed tremendous love to. hE SHOULD of put himself in joe buddens shoes before overreacting. what woudl he have done if hes perfomring anda camera man is running infront of him distractiong his perfomance. artist dont think of nothing but themselves up here. Again theress 5-6 local acts i can exlude from this godilla, adlib, magnetic, ali armz, gq, uncanny philup bansk jp lv villians ed monsta and chevy robinson. Besides that the valley is a mad house. i learned its easier just to be a fan than know the scene, cus aritst though personalities ruin there musicial talent. Theres a group that MY BLOG PUT ON AND GOT THEM KNOWN LOCALLY who brought me to court and posted false information that I am sex offender online all over me calling them out on hypricirital games they were playing. Thats the perfect way to get blacklisted. also there more emcees claiming to have deals then actuzally trying to get them. Ive heard the following co-signs in the valley wu-tang clan multiple "coke boys' dreamcatchers with meek mill, g.o.o.d music yet again your artist who cant even get gig in your hometown. Theres just so much fraudulent bullshit immaturity that when my sight launches bakc up only the above mentioned names will even have a shot of puplicity from my site. The site that actually got local emcees a fanbase when before me only rhere homies where going to there shows. The site that has over half a million fews and daily viewership from germnay switerland over over 20 other countries looking in. Unlike the other local hip-hop sites i gave artist a outlet over the years. because i was covering real underground artist with real fanbase as well as locals. fans from cross the world were turned on to artist from the valley, and the apriacation for it are local emcees making fucking fool's of them selves making my blog look like a disgrace for co-signing such bafoons. this is my sign off 2013 gunna be a big year for indie lifestyle and my blog is going to do something postive to reshape the local hip-hop scene to bad most of you arent gunna benfit

a REALITY mental illness and gun control
I know this is a hip-hop blog but in reality the tragedy that happened in sandy hook elementary school effects all aspects of life. As a farther of 3 and as someone who has asbergers syndrome I've taken offense as of late of all the talk of mental health getting stricter. I wanna put into context not as a expert on autism but as a sane parent who HAS asbergers if thats the only mental illness the shooter had it had no effect on the tragedy that happened. Asbergers is a mild form of autism and in all reality you couldn't even tell most people who have it. In my case the only problem i have is starting a conversation with someone i don't know to well. Does that make me psychotic no, and honestly if i don't tell you thats a issue with me you'll never know cus if u actually wanted to associate with me you would of spoke. Dan akroyd, Craig nicoles (the vines), daryl Hannah, satoshi tagari (creator of pokemon), Dennis Rodman, The real faces of asbergers. celebrities we see and here about every day living normal lives. Asbergers wasn't a given diagnosis until the early 1990's but based of historic information Abraham Lincoln. ben franklin, Emily Dickinson, George Washington, Marilyn Monroe, mark twain, van goh and Mozart all had traits that today would be classified as asbergers. So before you put a label on a disease because one sick minded human been had it look at all the good that people in are history with mental illness has done. On a different tip people need to understand mental illness allot more and start treating people with mental illness as people instead of outsiders. Im not giving a scapegoat to mass murder but in most cases it has been loners who have been tired of getting ridiculed and rejected and take it out on society, If we treated these people with love compassion and all fairness some of this could been avoided. You see lawyers on crime shows trying to say someones environment used as a defense and people with certain views being held just as accountable. Were pointing are finger at mental illness but the people who constantly torture people with mental illness shouldn't they be just as at fault if they provoked them to the point of snapping. Like i said in the sandy hook case unless more details emerge on his mental health just based off asbergers alone mental health had no effect on this. Also in a wider aspect anyone who lives in the Lehigh valley has noticed a spike in murders. How many of those murders are do to mental illness none its substance abuse and gang violence. Theres a more of a change of a high ranking mobster killing kids for revenge then someone with mental illness doing this again. Lets go to point to all the talk on gun control in America. Just because a mass shooting of 20 kids happens we wanna talk about it and say lets enforce it not. You know on a daily probably more than 20 kids are murderd do to some sort of violence but because it wasn't in a mass shooting gun laws aren't even talked about. shit last year 80 CHILDREN WERE SLAUGHTERED in Norway shouldn't that have been a wake up call what if this happened in America lets take measures now. Sad to say most Americans only thing about America. talks are going on though about only allowing military and cops have access to guns yet again theres almost daily talks of military people killing civilians overseas, in my local paper a off duty officer killed his wife and barricaded the streets of a small town, shooting countless other cops. guns laws wont stop that. In all sad reality there really isn't much we can do. Make guns illegal ok lets see whats already illegal drugs. Most violence is do to drugs the biggest legal issue we have in America is drugs yet again drugs are illegal. So making guns illegal this is a reality check a history lesson from prohibition times. Gun sales WILL GO INTO THE UNDERWORLD criminals will be getting richer AND PROBABLY NOT GETTING ARRESTED cus there pay off some 2nd amendment supporting cop not to file charges. and when Americans who actually use guns for protection cant buy them any more they will either have to go to the black market or be a victim. In a sad dark truth the murder rate may actually get higher with gun control, cus people wont be able to protect themselves. Now this is just my opinion but this is also what could be a sad reality.

Artist to watch: J Capitol P
The lehigh valley music scene has had alot of good emcees coming out of it but not much buzz outside of the lehigh valley. It was always said if there was a rapper the whole community can back then we would finally have a star out of the local scene. With such a divide with the underground cats and mainstream ready emcees it just seemed impossible that the scene would fall behind one emcee. Looking at online feed it seems theres a artist that has done that. Kunztown college allumini J Capitol Phas been slowly making his name known for the past 3-4 years. Not only has his buzz been growing his maturity and talent as a artist has been as well. This blog first covered him when his mixtape the image of me was released. He came off the typical egotistical rapper with bost like "ive been the talk of allentown for the past five years." looking back at that now he actually predicted his career path. His buzz first started with his weekly "trash a track tuesday" witch is a weekly freestyle series that has garned over 10 thousand plus views on youtube. Thats whats missing in artist nowadays is heart and the willingness to mature as e emcee witch jp has both. later on that year he released his first video for doing my thang witch landed him a levigh valley music award nomination for best song. it was a club style track that would be played on any local station but lyrically wasnt toned down to the mainstream standards of today. One would assume a artist with a radio ready style wouldnt be accepted by the whole community but with local cosigns coming from vets like l-perfex, and el chain plus the love on other blogs from da stash box to islm610 the whole area has come behind him. His newest video of his mixtape bad guys finish first send them my love has been reposted by a vareity of local emcees and fans alike and his up and coming album bundle up 2 is high anticipated in the area. One thing i gotta say is you gotta respect this kid for a younging he knows the way the industry works. I had asked him if he had any shows coming up and said he wanted his craft to grow more before touring with you gotta commend not wanting to have any half ass performance and actually look like a entertainer. I see big things in store for this up and coming emcee.
