VARIOUS NEWS... HOT!

Celph Titled's The Gatalog breaks new sales records!

Celph Titled's quadruple CD "The Gatalog" wich also features my "Extra Thug Sauce" original and J-Zone remix-versions, has been number one on the ughh.com album charts now for the last four months. That means it has sold more than any album since ughh.com started! Ease back with a big smile on your face while checkin' out the charts, 'cause I know I did. Here, here, here and here. Also watch out for Apathy and Celph Titled's new album "There's No Place Like Chrome" coming soon.


Darkside Of The Force

Congrats to my peoples and old crew Darkside Of The Force for winning the Hiphop award at "Spellemannsprisen" this weekend. Spellemannsprisen is sort of the Norwegian Grammy's, and the Norwegian production team Stargate who are now in-house producers at Defjam Records and has done tracks with Beyonce, Ne-Yo, Nas and many more in the last year won the Norwegian music biz award at the show also. I guess it's safe to say...Don't Sleep On Norway!!

LNH Show off the air soon.

Sad news of the year is that Milwaukee's Late Night Hype Show will shut down! Hosts JP, Bobby Brewski and DJ Aaron Wade from The Pizdamen have done the show every week for ten years next year, and will shut down sometime in March 08. The format has changed from new and old quality Rap to strictly Hiphop-classics from now until, and every show can be downloaded at wmse.org. It's been mad fun but everything must come to an end I guess.

Delays

There has been some delays in earlier planned releases from me. The Funk 45 on Strut Records had to change pressing plant and the 7" is in the press as we speak. The Prakka vol 3 compilation has also been delayed. More info when I know whatsup, but the track with me, Bad Spit and F-Word will be released one way or the other. Also I'm not gonna release the Instrumental album trilogy as planned, but there will be an Instrumental album coming out along with my next album, or on it's own.

In The Works

Finally I'd like to wish everyone a Happy New Year, and hope the celebration didn't kill you. It's safe to say that 2006 was my best year ever by far. Releases from AOTP,Infinito, Celph Titled, my album "Renegades", and more made sure of that. 2007 will be my busiest year ever, shit's already crazy, and some of the stuff in the works now is new tracks with several AOTP cats, artists on Gravel Records in Chicago, Majik Most, and tons more! Check back in a few, and until then enjoy the Remix album on Commonwealth, and my 2006 wrap-up at Platform8470.com.

 
 
 
OKTOBER 2006
 
What's cookin'. Back again with an update! There's mad things goin' on that I can't talk too much about just yet, but let's just say I've produced a lot of records lately wich should all drop in '07. Here's a couple of new records I'm featured on.
 
INFINITO 2017 NEW ALBUM
31-10-2006
 
His new album "Unenthusiastic Ebony Brown Soul" will be released on Nov.8th. this year, and will have two tracks produced by me, one a remix of "El In Tune With Nature" from "Renegades" with some funky Norwegian 70's Jazz-samples, and a new track called "Rap-Thugs" wich is about just that on a soulful laidback beat. Cop at ughh.com and the other usual crack-spots. More info on the infinito website or download here.
 
 
CELPH TITLED GOES QUADRUPLE...
31-10-2006
 
We've all been waiting for eons for a solo-album from super-producer and mc-extraordinaire Celph Titled. Well, wait no more cause he's here with "The Gatalog", a quadruple official CD-release wich is a compilation of all his best joints from the days of "Equilibrium" and "The Walkmen" up to the present, and "Extra Thug Sauce", the original produced by me, and the J-Zone Remix, are also availible on this album wich is out now! Limited edition so get your girl to buy you this one as an early x-mas present! You know she'll love it when you kick back with a blunt, a few sixpacks of beers, and 4 CD's of The Rubix Cuban!
 
 
THE MASSHOLES
31-10-2006
 

This is a new super-group featuring Mic Stylz, Legendary Axe, and Nabo Rawk of Porn Theatre Ushers fame, droppin' the official mixtape "The Mailbox Mixtape" as The Massholes now in October. Features a lot of bangin' tracks, and cats like Termanology and Akrobatik stops by to say hello also, and I've produced a brand new banger on it called "Grand Slam" with Mic Stylz on the lyrix, wich is a 70's ghetto-movie type banger of a beat, and cocky lyrics from the man Mic Steezy.

 
 
PRAKKA
31-10--2006
 
The Norwegian label Prakka should be releasing their third compilation album titled "Prakka Vol.3" of course, around x-mas or early next year. I've worked with Norwegian mc's rhymin' in Norwegian for the first time for this album, and the outcome is ill! My beat for it is on some sinister horror shit with hard drums and spooky harpsicords, and Norway's finest native tounge mc's Bad Spit and F-Word laced the ill lyrics! The song's called "Vinke Fra Hustak" Babelfish it! :-)
 
 
FUNK 45
31-10-2006
 
I've always been a big fan of 80's Electronic Funk as some might know, so when I got the chance to make a record in that style you know it was straight to the lab! The Norwegian Funk-club "Strut" has started their own label "Strut Recordings" together with my main man Addvibe from when we used to make House records on our own label "Thang Records" back in the mid-90's, wich was Scandinavia's first Deep House label distributed by Peppermint Jam, Nice 'n Ripe, Glasgow Underground and others, so we teamed up again to make a 7" 45 for Strut wich is straight Funk! The A-Side taken care of by Addvibe on a track called "Le' Jam" wich is a cut-up of a 70's P-Funk break with some added funky wah-wah guitar, and the b-side "Funk Strut" is produced by me, and is a cut-up of various 80's Vocoder Funk records. If you like Zapp you'll feelit! What we wanted to do with this 45 was to make tracks that acually sounds like it's some lost funk tracks from the past but do it with samplers. More info on where to cop soon. Out in November!
 
 
STRANGE BREW
31-10-2006
 
My man Aaron Wade off the LNH-show, Pizdamen, and Milwaukee got together with his old partner in rhyme, Minneapolis badboy Jay Bee to make a couple of songs. These cats made two albums in the early 2000's "The First Round"
and "Bitches, Brews, and Beats", the last one produced by me, so when it was time for them to get back together I sent them a banger in the typical Pizdamen style, and what came out of it was sort of a remake of UTFO's "We Work Hard" wich is called "Work Hard, Play Hard". Peep it at Aaron's Myspace.
 
 
IN THE WORKS
31-10-2006
 
2006 has been busier than ever for me, and I'm happy I can continue working with dope artists and keep bringin' that heat to the masses! Right now I got tracks in the works with Kingsyze, Majik Most, Supastition, Maylay Sparks, Massholes, Mic Stylz, Tash (the Liks), Guttamouf, Jus Allah, Matlock, and many more. Also I'm just about to sign with a label in the states for my next album. More on that in the next update wich should be right before x-mas..Back to The Lab, Bazooka The Scheme!..Peace!

14-06-2006
 
Whatup..Time for a little update. First up here's a couple of brand new exclusives in the shape of two official remixes that will drop later on either singles, mixtapes or compilations.

First the Remix I did of Mic Stylz Featuring Esoteric's "Bringin' It Back" about the golden glory days of Hiphop with a brand new beat and new cuts. Listen at Mic Stylz' Myspace site or here.

Second, The Remix I did for Milwaukee's finest The Rusty P's, of their underground smash "Gather Around". checkit here.


Still on the Remix tip I also Remixed "El In Tune With Nature" from the "Renegades" album for one of Infinito 2017's upcoming releases, and also did a new song with him called "Fake Thugs". Watch out for those around here: myspace.com/infinito2017

Much thanks to all who copped the AOTP album. Should have a good chance of becoming underground album of the year once 2006 starts fadin' out. Also much props to my man Villa who helped out with the "Narrow Grave" beat.

I'll be back in the fall with the first album in my Instrumental Trilogy for free download..until then have a good one and enjoy the summer!..Peace.

PIZDAMEN
01-20-2006
 
Yes, yes ya'll!. Happy new year to everyone! Hope ya'll had a great 2005 and that 2006 will be even better! January's been quite busy round here.
First up!... The Pizdamen album "Red Stars" is out now. 15 tracks from Milwaukee's finest mc's: Aaron Wade, Bobby Brewski and Clark Bent, also featuring the talents of Count Classic, Phantom Channel and DJ Madhatter of the Rusty P's... Milwaukee's own super-heroes, as well as rising star Shugga aka Miss Anna. All production and cuts by me this time around except for the Antistars' banger "Let It Bump" and Madhatter's blazin' scratches on "Listen Up", including me rhyming as my mc alter-ego "Myke Perv" on the tracks "The Evil" inspired by my love for Horror movies and a verse I kicked on the opening cut "Another Classic", so what you get is a little of this and that, but strictly Hiphop of course! Topics range from Hiphop/Old School appreciation, drinkin' brews and gettin' fucked up while bangin' a hoe or ten, to fun shit and shit that deals with life in general..Cop now @ Lotusland Records. More downloads: snippits of all songs, front and back cover art!
 
 
SOME TEASERS...
01-20-2006
 
Just finished up a remix of Mic Stylz feat. Esoteric's "Bringin' It Back" wich should be out later this year in some form through Commonwealth Records.

Also just laid down cuts for some songs for Tash from The Alkaholiks/The Liks' upcoming album. Will they make it to the finished product??... We'll have to wait and see, but I scratched my ass off on those joints, so hopefully!

I will be doin' one show in Oslo/Norway later this year and will hit the stage together with some dope mc's from the US... That's all I can say for now though... this will be my first live performance since 2003, and might be my last, so show up, and come in peace! More details later.

 
 
MORE PRESS AND REACTIONS
01-20-2006
 

The Czeck magazine bbarak has now released their January issue wich features an interview and review of "Renegades". Much thnx to Lukas for the interview and the dope review wich recieved a great 3,5 out of 5 rating. the magazine can only be purchased in the Czeck Republic, but an English version of the interview can be downloaded here... and an English version of the review will be up here soon. In the meantime check out the magazine preview here. Edit: Download English review version here.

Speaking of "Renegades" it's now sold out from here, but is still availible to buy at the online stores, but once it's gone, it's gone, so don't sleep if you want it! Here's some more props we've recieved on "Renegades" including a dope fan-review and DJ Aaron Wade's sum-up of 2005.

ABOUT RENEGADES
12-16-2005
 
What's good! First up thanx to all the press, DJ's, stores, websites, friends, and heads for ya'll support regarding 'Renegades'. We got nothing but dope reviews so far, and a lot of hip-hop radio airplay as well as a lot of interviews etc. The love from the true heads is what makes it worth all the work besides the good feelin' of makin' dope tracks of course!

The album is now availible at Sandbox and also at ughh.com soon, as well as at Stress for the Norwegian heads. I'll advice you to cop it now as there is only 15 copies left of the first pressing that we can distribute to stores from here, but there might be a distribution deal for the states after new years wich will mean more copies available, but in case that doesn't happen, it's a smart move to pick it up now at the online stores if you plan on buying it as it might be out of print for good after the stores are sold out. (If you're waiting for your promo-copies no need to worry 'cause we've got that taken care of already.)

Next up... Much thnx to the platform8470 crew for lacin' us with a dope website and for hookin' up the new domain url, so when you wanna check out this site now all you have to do is type: www.thewhiteshadowofnorway.tk

Here's another White Shadow interview from the Czeck Hiphop-magazine and website www.bbarak.cz. It's gonna be featured in the next issue of their magazine in January for heads from the Czeck republic, and should also be availible on their website, but here's an English version for everyone else to read: DOWNLOAD (PDF)

Here's some emails and comments we've recieved, and as much as we love all the press and good reviews, when heads feel this way about the album and me as an artist and producer it's what really makes me wanna continue and work even harder to keep bringin' you that quality Hiphop, so here's some letters and quotes we've recieved from fans and supporters in both English and Norwegian: DOWNLOAD (PDF)
