Interview w/ Buckshot (Black Moon & Boot Camp Click)
By: Justin Rizzio
During the mid-nineties, hip hop was filled with names like Gangstarr, Wu-Tang, Biggie, and of course, Black Moon and Boot Camp Clik (BCC). Now, years later, some of these artists have parted ways, moved on, and even passed, pretty much removing any chances of being household names in today’s hip hop climate. But some artists on the other hand, suffered some of the most trying times and still never gave up the struggle to keep their place in the spotlight. One of these artists, in particular, is Buckshot. Just when it seemed like all hope was lost for the BCC, Buckshot revamped his Duckdown imprint and delivered us some of the best hip hop records put out in the past decade. During his recent tour promoting his newest album, I sat down with the BDI Thug himself to find out what exactly is in “The Formula.”

Interview w/ Bahamadia
By: Justin Weleski
There are few Philly MCs that are as legendary as Bahamadia. She’s worked with icons such as DJ Premier, The Roots, King Britt, J Dilla and more. Bahamadia was a major part of our golden era of hip hop while laying down the foundation for the post 2000 soul movement. She has never lost a step and continues to stay in peoples ears and eyes by touring the world and releasing music. I finally got a chance to speak to one of my all time favorite MC’s about the struggle of being a business woman & artist, about cheap promoters, hanging out with James Brown, and about the changes she sees seen being involved in the Philly hip hop community for over 15yrs.
*You can see Bahamadia LIVE this Friday (6/20/08) @ Fluid Night Club for the Ladies Of Hip Hop Festival. For info on events Click HERE
