Video: How The 45 King produced Jay-Z’s “Hard Knock Life”
This video is amazing. It has been floating around the internets for about a year or so now. It is a must watch! Hearing about how the 45 King (a legendary hip-hop producer) came up with this amazing song. Then hearing about how Jay-Z found the song and did it one take. Bam! Super hit! You gotta see this...

Afrika Bambaataa uses Serato? Yep!
Looks like one of history's biggest digger (for records), Afrika Bambaataa, now uses Serato. I don't really blame him, after all, records are heavy. It was Sutra's 6th year anniversary and the lineup was DJ June, Tony Touch, and Afrika Bambaattaa. It was some seriously good music. But did Bambaataa bring it as hard and are his crates as deep as expected? Also, what does it mean for DJing considering Bambaataa is no longer using records?

Rock the Bells – Show wrap-up (tons of Videos and Pics)
This past Saturday, as you already know from the post before, the 7th annual "Rock The Bells" concert happened. First things first, it was off the hook! The artists were called to do, from cover to cover, one of their classic albums. No one completelly stuck to the format, and some threw it out the window, but overall it was a very special event. These artists never really do their album hits on stage, just the most popular songs. It was quite a treat and all the hip-hop stars were there (either making a cameo on stage or just watching). NYCelectro.com had VIP passes, so click through for more pics, videos, and complete coverage of the event.

Last Night at the Knitting Factory, Brooklyn
If you did not know, the Knitting Factory (formally a chinatown resident) has moved into Williamsburg Brooklyn. Lucky for me, thats where I live. They have been there for maybe a year now, but probably less.
Last night the place was packed! Completely full. When i get there (a bit late) KRS One was on the mic. He was not even on the bill. If you had a chance to see the show, then you saw something special last night.
was on Wednesday, January 20th.
