Cleveland's Duo :: Kid Cudi & Chip Tha Ripper = The Almighty GloryUs


Let's just say that I believe that, "the tune of new music shall resonate through the nation for many to hear the rebirth within Cleveland (2one6)." For many many years our city, has been musically related to the Bone Thugs & Harmony Era along with the thuggish rap persona rapper style, but No longer are we "that," but we are now in a New Age of musicians that is breeding a new bunch of talented M.C.'s with great music.

Cleveland's own Kid Cudi & Chip Tha Ripper are just to say a few that can be crowned "skilled" as they are looking to release a collaboration album, and form a Cleveland duo The Almighty GloryUs. Sources from Cudi's blog released that after the debut of  his album this year on G.O.O.D Music, that his plans are to work with his homie Chip Tha Ripper

“After the release of my debut album this summer I’ll be doing a collab album with my homeboy Chip Tha Ripper in which we form the duo ‘The Almighty GloryUs,’”Cudi stated. “On my album I’ll include our first single from our album which we haven’t even started, but I’m just excited about the project.”

Cudi has also just rapped up the video for the "original" Day & Night video shoot in Los Angeles, directed by himself in which K. Cudi is also responsible for directing Kanye's "Good Life" video. The Moon Man isn't stopping there, as his plans are starting a label of his own, called Dream On. “I formed my own record label with Plain Pat and Emile Haynie called Dream On which will combine with G.O.O.D. Music as a joint venture.”

With enthused ears and much success from Kid Cudi we here at 2one6 bring you the Pulse to The City! 

Album, entitled Man on the Moon: The Guardians, is tentatively scheduled for a summer release this year with features from Chip Tha Ripper, Charles Hamilton, 88-Keys, will.i.am, and Alchemist.

KRS One Speaks upon Government, Barack Obama, & NWO


THINK! "Your mind is a terrible thing to waste," and the information in music has a way to move your mind & the crowd. Master of Ceremony? <--- How many of them are still around? Where's the Positive messages that asks similar questions that Barack Obama asks us in America to CHANGE? Are YOU ready or going to change to HEAR/ADDRESS the TRUTH, or would YOU rather worry about the beef between artists, baby momma drama, or the best rapper alive hoping that "Piranha" bite??

To be crowned a M.C./Master of Ceremony is worth more than being the King, or Best Rapper Alive in American Society that is so DUMBED down and blind to the fact to... THINK! If you start to THINK about both positive and negative messages sent, then maybe you would then understand that YOU CAN HAVE WHATEVER YOU LIKE (T.I. voice)! Control what you Listen to and speak about, because if the words NO, I CAN'T, IT's HARD, etc... will just get you more hard time.

KRS One nevers ceases to amaze me, nor does Ice Cube because they have been speaking upon this Global Scheme of Life, Government Control, & a World Order designed to control the 99% Human Race to live a Simple Life. Is life SO simple or SO hard? Is Barack Obama a Black President or an African American President with a Caucasian Mother?? Ask yourself what is TRUTH, what is FREE, & what is POWER??? My fault your more worried about Michael Phelps hitting a bong. The TRUTH shall set you FREE!

We all know what
Myspace and Facebook are. Great internet social networking sites for artists and labels, college students, professionals and kids to interact with the world.

Like many people I am leary of joining all of these new websites. One site I kept hearing about was
"Twitter". At first, I was like, "What is a Twitter? Twit what?"

So, I logged in and in two simple steps I became an official "Twit"! By the way, that is not a derogatory term to Twitter subscribers. After you join, you can say whatever you like in
under 140 characters. However sometimes real celebrities are on Twitter interacting, in real time! Why? Because Twitter makes it easy to Twit directly from your cell phone!

For
music fans, new mixtapes are delivered hot off the press from top notch Djs and music industry executives who Twit.

Just
be careful what you say on Twitter or people will not follow you or even block you. And try to not post too many stupid comments because people get bored quickly. Even though Twitter is a fun new world… I have enough to do tryin to make ends meet in this recession as a promoter, marketer, and founder of an urban publication in Cleveland called 2one6.

You can twit what ever you like, or make up what ever you like, because you can.
Some people can read between the lines and see your mind is full B.S. or you lie though your twits. What ever you do is your choice I just hope its real and not fake Twitliars (people that twit about all the things that they never do - beware!)

Weeding through Twitter takes me a minute to find interesting conversations, follow people I'm interested in, convo with a few people I know in the city, and ban a few because their messages lack substance!

I have been Twitting for two months now and I've been actually been making a lot of real nice connections,
like minded business men/women, following some pretty informative people, and making money from it. Ideas are a driving force in a lazy society. Life is an information highway that must be driven to drive your business, promote your art, create a viral marathon, etc. quicker than the news on channel 8.

We all need to learn now how to communicate faster and with more efficiency in 2009 in order to remain competitive.

Twit and Follow Me! :o) &

Discover Simple, Private Sharing at Twitter.com/2one6MAGAZINE



















Written By: 2one6 Magazine

I just got this email from a 32 Management Company managing a artist named CALICO JONEZ. Now I NEVER heard or this cat, not one time! So I'm thinkin is this just "another artist" promoting a record with NO STORY to tell? There is a link to listen to the record, so I click play as I always do and BOOM... I'm like oh ISSSH!!! This record is really catchy! 

Next thing you know I'm clicking around on the net to do some research on this new artist Calico Jones, hailing from Memphis, Tennessee has been in XXL SCRATCH MAGAZINE, Production from Marvelous J, has landed singles for Flo-rida, Ludacris, Lil Wayne, Willy Northpole of DTP, and a mixtape by DJ Scream "History In The Making." WOW!!! Now whats more phenomenal to go along with his music is that, Calico is also part of non profit organization called STREETZ ON LOCK, which is dedicated to unity and non gang violence. Which now brings me to writing this blog, from a STORY he told along with statistics.

Barack Obama has given us the word of CHANGE and through his messages we must CHANGE! Unity and non Gang Violence is a change for the youth, in which Calico Jones and his team is definitely utilizing to cross promote messages to help CHANGE the Youth.  The Single "Fadeway' feat. Soulja Boy will definitely have the youth singing the "Fadeway," and trust me when I say that Calico Jones with be the "FUTURE FOR CHANGE," within in the years to come! Can we get more artists for Change now???

My opinion is that I really think this is a Smash Record for the Streetz... 4 real!! 
Real Catchy Beat, Hook, and Sound! ( 5 STARS - 2one6 Magazine )
