VARIOUS NEWS... HOT!
29-01-2007
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!

JANUARI
2006
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

SOME TEASERS...

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.

it's gone, so don't sleep if you want it! Here's
some more props we've recieved on "Renegades"

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

you wanna check out this site now all you have
to do is type: www.thewhiteshadowofnorway.tk

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)
