JFK
J.F.K. has one of the more interesting names in rap. Its an acronym meaning Justice For the Kids. Down with Statik Selektah and his Show Off camp, he’s known for talking about how ‘there are too many rappers and not enough fans’ on the interlude for Statik Selektah’s Stick 2 the Script album. In this interview, he drops a few more quotables on the current state of hip hop. (more…)
iStandard: Statik Selektah
I started a new gig as a field reporter for iStandardproducers.com. They are responsible for putting on producer showcases around the country and they’re great for the culture. Glad to be a part of their movement.
So the first assignment was to interview Statik Selektah but this one’s a little different from the Ig’nantwitted interview. Talks about how he got started producing and meeting Primo for the first time.

iStandard Celebrity Beat Battle II
Last night, another celebrity beat battle went down. Sean C & LV, Statik Selektah, Scram Jones, Chris Styles and DJ Green Lantern. Yeah, it got hype.
Not to take away from Chris Styles, because dude is NASTY with it, but I think the crowd was a little bias towards him. Same thing as last time with Rsonist. In my opinion, the industry judges (who judge the upcoming producer showcase that goes on before and after the battle) should determine the winner and break down why they think so. That would be sick and then it wouldn’t matter how many people came with who.
Still, its not that serious. These battles are a lot of fun to watch and I’m sure that’s how the producers see it as well.
Shout outs to the whole iStandard fam. Congrats on wrapping up another great year of events.
