STEEL WHEELS: PITTSBURGH HIP HOP FOR CEREBRAL PALSY!

HEY PITTSBURGH! hope yinz all plan on makin it out to this event for a great cause! If you been livin under a rock, I'll putchyinz D.  Ramon Luis Silva Jr. aka @DaKidInWheels is a die-hard Pittsburgh Hip-Hop fan and if you haven't guessed, is in a wheelchair and lives with the disability Cerebral Palsy. But this hasn't slowed Da Kid down a bit. I reached out to him to get a few words about CP and how having the disability has affected his life. Take a read . Mad uplifiting! This is a good dude and true believer of the PGH HIP HOP SCENE. (not to mention a huge B White fan!)

"Cerebral Palsy is a disability that never held me down. Even though I wasn't born with CP, i never let the fact of having it get in the way of what I wanted to do with my life. It was a medical accident that happen at my birth. But cp never disabled my ability to do normal stuff like play sports, go to prom and attend college.

Pittsburgh Hip Hop means a lot to me because I can relate to most of the mc's like the Come Up ( Vinny radio & Fran), Bwhite, Mayo, and Varsity Squad (Beedie & Jon Quest). The MC I can relate to the most is B. White because many of his struggles he raps about in his songs, I can feel his hunger. Being the best but everyone always doubt him, which is similar to my life because many people doubt me on stuff I wanted to do with my life and now I'm doing big things like B. White is now. Another similarity me and B are very ambitious, we are determined to get what we want & work hard for it. This event is not only about raising money it's a showcase of the music that gets me through my day and my love for Pittsburgh hip hop."

-Ramon Silva

BOAZ - THE TRANSITION

The new Boaz album pre released tonite at Time Bomb Shop exclusively, anyone that was waiting for this (like me) copped this tonite and are enjoying Boaz for this spring saturday night!

This is classic Bo-bey the hustler (which the world desperately needed) with the overall sound more mature and refined from previous albums. With some notable features (Mac Miller, S. Money, Fashawn and GLC), and some seriously BANGING production from Pittsburgh's finest producers (Big Jerm, Sayez, J Fish, Juliano & more), this album THE TRANSITION is a must have for every hip hop head yound and old!

make sure you cop this and support the Pittsburgh Realness.

TBC / BPC in NYC

the TBC went to NYC for its annual tradeshow, and i was lucky enough to be invited along. when i went to the bradford school and i officially interned at TIME BOMB SHOP, i heard all about these trade show trips and i was eager to go on one! although, just like anything in life, you have to put in the work and pay your dues first. don't ever forget that!

quick recap of the trip: WE HAD A FUCKING BLAST!! alot of work got done as well. as if you thought the three of us (@bootprintscrew, @ktsmokeshydro or @brickdiggler) would ever actually take any substantial time off..... check the photos: the rest is history.
