I will also put you up on some of the hottest club jointz poppin’ this spring. You will also be able to peep the schedule for Whatz Crackin’ TV, because it is now on the air baby!!!

First Up — 2REAL RECORDS Back with a Vengeance!!!

I was at the offices of 2Real Records a little while back and had a chance to chat with my homeboy Mike T. This cat is definitely holdin’ it down over there. He put me up on some "Real" game and gave me the latest scoop on the label. For those of you out there who may or may not have heard of 2Real Records, you’re about to feel them in a major way!!! Just to give you some history on them, the founder and CEO, Smurf Luchiano, is based in Portland, Oregon. In 1998 2Real Records released the debut album Coming for the Goods by GOTM. Everybody, including myself, was really feelin’ this record!!! After a two-year setback fighting and defeating our injustice system, Smurf Luchiano hit ‘em "Real" hard with Guilty ‘Till Proven Innocent in 2001 and Double Jeopardy in 2002. This year 2Real Records is as serious as ever, and on June 21st, 2005, their hot new artist Meezilini will make his presence known to the music industry!!!

Not only can this brother bring it in the vocal booth, but his stage show is also On and Crackin’!!! He has heated up many concerts with some of the best in the business, such as Method Man, Too $hort, Lloyd Banks, E-40, Roy Jones Jr. and Portland’s own Cool Nutz. That’s just to name a few!!! To see him blaze the stage this month, check him out on tour with Messy Marve on Wednesday, May 4th, in Portland at the VUE, and on Thursday, May 5th, at The Lone Star Bar & Grill in Eugene, OR. You will be pleasantly surprised to hear the likes of The Game, 50 Cent, Suga Free, and some musical Tabasco from the homie Bosko featured on Meezilini’s new album!!! The first two singles are "We want Meezie" and "Pleased to Meet U." Big ups to Smurf Luchiano, Mike T., and the entire 2Real Records "Oregonization"!!! Make sure you swoop that Meezilini record when it drops this summer!!! You won’t be mad baby!!!
