BusyBars at the Subway Cypher

I made my first appearance at Wreckshop's Subway Cypher held at Boston's Downtown Crossing train station. Downtown Crossing is a central point to Boston's underground train system known as the "T". Downtown Crossing connects the city's most used train lines which are classified by different colors. The red, orange, green, and blue lines are all connected to this station. Each individual color line takes MA travelers to and from different directions, parts of the city, all surrounding areas of Greater Boston and beyond. Its only fitting this is the connecting point for emcees from all surrounding areas, all colors as well. Every Sunday emcees from across MA, even as far as NH this week come to connect by enjoying two of Hip Hop's most important elements. Rapping and having fun. Hosted by Wreckshop Movement, highlighting a featured producer every week, this week beats where provided by Vatican Life's own in house producer Q Quick.

 As shown in the picture above the vibes where high and everyone was having a great time. Until the police showed up... No sir... But for real, after a brief appearance of one loan piglet who told us to keep it down, then on the low said he was keeping "status quo"bounced we kept rocking. The nerve of dude too. Acting like this dosen't happen every Sunday in the same place. Oh and lets not forget how Wreck Shop and the Subway Cypher has been written about in every major paper media outlet including front page of the daily free Metro paper that you cant hope to not see everywhere on the T if your life depended on it. Anyway...

BusyBars with Jr Biggie, a regular, and the man himself founder and leader of Wreck Shop Movement Justice Born. My man Dustin Bonezz photo bombed in the back.

Wanna give a huge big major serious super over average shout out to the man himself, Justice Born, the founding member and leader of Wreck Shop Movement. This movement in my eyes is responsible for a huge resurgence of street level Hip Hop in MA. Not that it ever died or went anywhere, but Wreck Shop hosts Hip Hop or performance based events almost every night of the week. Mostly free too. Events where artist can entertain, and  express themselves, young to old, in peaceful environments with like minded people. Singers, poets, emcees, dancers, visual arts and anything I did not mention is what you will experience at a Wreck Shop event. Most recently Boston's premier breaking crew The Floor Lords showed up to the Subway Cypher adding another of the elements to the Cypher. Check out Wreck Shop Movement and all their movements online.

Be sure to listen to his radio show weekly on Wednesdays from 1 to 2 pm, called The Hip Hop Hour on Bay State College Radio. Next to him is your brother and my brother, Big Brother Sadi, a Wreck Shop leader and veteran. Both these two are amazing artists that I am a fan of and listen to their music. Rocked many a show with these two. Be sure to check out their music and any other artist's work by clicking on their name if it is in orange. That will link you to their art. Peace y'all. #BusyBars out.

Katalyst Sessions Volume 2, by Wermonster of Germany AVAILABLE NOW !!!

Peace friends and busybodies. As you know, I regularly collaborate with artists who I am a fan of, listen to their music, and or believe their artistic expressions are of quality or value. Music has connected me with new friends, fans and listeners across the globe which I'm so grateful for meeting and knowing. My homie Wermonster is another one of those friends I'd like you to get familiar with. Wermonster is from Berlin, Germany. He is a veteran producer specializing in a wide range of Boom Bap and sample based style. Not limited to that style, but this time on his latest release titled "Katalyst Sessions Volume 2", a full serving of jazzy,stringy dark, and sometimes obscure Boom Bap is presented for your listening pleasures. Released from Uncomfortable Beats, the Australian producer charged label based out of Melbourne, "Katalyst Sessions Volume 2" is a compilation of Hip Hop with an artist roster that spans the globe. Literally.

"Katalyst Sessions Volume 2" features Benny Diction of London, Tob One of NH, Melody Myla, Sultan Tunc, GIL, Cash Krzma of Melbourne, Ethnique Punch of Turkey, Issuez, and Passive65 of Wakefield UK. Be sure to click on each artists name that is in orange to check out their music. This project is available now digitally and for a limited time in classic collector style cassette tape. I got mine in the mail and after listening to this project can say every artist comes with it even when I can't understand the language being spoken. At that point it becomes a rhythm, energy, and delivery thing for me and this project is thoroughly satisfying for that. Be sure to lisetn to the first single "Black Pyramids" featuring myself #BusyBars and my partner in rhyme Tob One   by clicking on the title of the song in orange. Its been some time since I rhymed with Tob but we pick up right where we left off every time. On "Black Pyramids", we go in over a dark beat with piano attacks adding for a dramatic feel as we lyrically beat up the beat. Again, Wermonster's "Katalyst Sessions Volume 2" is available now and also in a very limited cassette tape form as shown below. Peace y'all.

Updates, updates...

Peace y'all. Thanks for checking in with me. Unfortunately I have not done my part on the site for some time so here comes an overload of what I've been up to since we last talked. The Maine situation is looking well for starters. Lets go back to March...

Wansley Francois, AMB , Hostess Farah, Tharisha Green, Haitian Queen, her cousin, and Host Silky Slim down front.

 I wanna say peace to Silky Slim and Farah of The Pozew Show , every Friday 7 to 9 on 98.9 FM or live stream at www.radio1boston.net . 617 690 2472 for shouts and request. That night I shared the studio with a few guests. Boston conscious rhyme veteran A.M.B. better known as African Born Man was in the house promoting his latest projects and an upcoming video out now available to watch as well as all his videos and visual releases at his YouTube page here, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9y-UKBvqAnGCzmoT_3gt5A

The beauty known as Haitian Queen was in the house with her cousin and designer Wansley Francois promoting their new T Shirt Line available now. The lady in red is Tharisha Green the erotic poet. She was intense... Very colorful, beautiful, high energy person. She was sitting quiet and humbly ,then things got descriptive fast. We laughed, we cried, and had a lot of fun in our discussions. Blasted some #BusyBars music and promoted an upcoming show at Bay State College. I forget the DJ's name but he was going off that night. I thought I was IN the club. Pissed I have no visuals. Words do no justice for real. Can't wait to get back there. Silky Slim and Farah where great hosts. Peace Pozew Show. Later that night...

BusyBars, Host Ryan Dragon , and Relentless at the Niite Cypher Radio show on 91.7 FM WMWM Salem State Radio

 After wildin out a little bit with my peoples from the Pozew Show in Mattapan, I decided to cover all grounds and show love to the MA north shore area's radio waves on the Niite Cypher radio show hosted by WreckShop member Ryan Dragon. Most of my WreckShop Movement fam and representatives hail from the area. With the Niite Cypher, host Ryan Dragon has a classic night time show which happens to be a Hip Hop show. Including great song selection by today's best underground, exclusives, classic Hip Hop, and conversation ranging from politics, alternative theories, and what kind of door handles you prefer. I confessed to my affection for marble oval door handles. Your turn... Relentless and I dropped some flows after some conversation and shameless promo. And I must say I was thoroughly flattered by the promotional quote provided by my man Ryan Dragon for this show. This man listens and understands my music and what I do. Ima just leave the quote right below for y'all . He said...

"BusyBars, an emcee representiing MA, my man stays busy wiith the bars to boot. Equiipt with a futuriistic style, hiis musiic centers around the importance of hard work and posiitivity. He sheds some liight on not only the issues, but the grace & beauty wiithin thiis world today, reminnding us that despiite our hardshiips, every moment is a blessiing."


There is nothing better for an artist than when you know you're understood. Got me looking like the native American from the 80s PSA. Click the link to listen to our conversation, flow session, and the whole show right here at : The Niite Cypher featuring BusyBars and Relentless  Peace to Ryan and Relentless, both of WreckShop Movement.
