THE 1ST ANNUAL TRI-CITY REAL SCENE HIP HOP AWARDS SHOW
As former co-founder & co-owner of "Tha breakThrough HipHop Blogazine", i've recorded a little footage from my attendence at the TRS's 1st annual, Hip Hop awards show, that took place February 12th. It was my first time down in Columbus, Ga...it was cold no doubt but, the heat was definitely brought at the show. I'd wish that i could've had much more to show you but with being "VIP", I still had to put in work (being someone else's camera man...shouts to Mykel Myers & Hot Block Magazine), lol!!! It's all good though, i was able to chop it up with Big Sam of The Eastside Boys & real talk, who also hosted & performed, he good folk. Dj Jelly on the 1's & 2's, doing what he do & Pastor Troy closed it out with his street classic, "Visa Versa". I left the awards show inspired plus, gave me something to think about...that anything is possible, long as you put in the work...and teamwork...but, don't let me talk y'all to death, lol...peep the footage out, lol!! Much love to my sis, Red Diamond & the TRS staff...y'all got my support...100!! Mac Duddy$outh

GRIND & SHINE FEATURED MODEL: WANDA CRAIGHEAD aka "LADII CLASS"
"Wanda /Ladii Class" I am a 29 year old aspiring model Born and raised in Colorado Springs Colorado . I recently lost over 100lbs this past year,so I have more motivation now than ever before! My inspirations are the things I have been through in my life. Being a single mother at the age of 18 due to my daughter's dad being murdered. Watching my mother get beat on daily the whole time growing up. I always say it's not what you have been through but how you come out of it that counts. I chose to be a strong mother for my children and a positive role model at the same time! My style is more Sexy urban with a touch of class. My hobbies are Photography and spending good quality time with my kids.I've only been in the industry for five months and I have came a long way already. I thank the Lord daily!

GRIND & SHINE FEATURED ARTIST: SNAKE VP (G.M.E.)
"This ya boy Snake VP of G.M.E. (G * Mobb Entertainment). makin music for "funmoney", why "funmoney"? I make the kind of music that's fun to listen to, and if I can make money while doin so then, "IM ON IT" like my cuzzin Youggin say. I support the grind that it takes to get to where ya gotta go in this music industry. From what i'm seeing if you really want to succeed in this music game, you have to be willin to put in the work and do for yourself, because aint nobody gonna help you like yourself. I'm here to bring the fun back to Hip-Hop. I say that because everybody is so serious now days. lets loosen up and get it back while remainin strong, check out my links for more music, show and up comin events."-As told to me by Snake VP.
While the Hip Hop game is still going through a phase, we'll definitely be on the look out for Snake VP & the G.M.E. movement...individuality, hustle & determination...that's only a few things that makes one "break through" & seperates him or herself from the cookie-cutter operation in the game...and we salute you, on a "hun'ed"...stay that way!!-Mac Duddy$outh CHECK OUT THE MUSIC!!!: www.reverbnation.com/gmobbentertainment

GRIND & SHINE FEATURED ARTIST: T.N.T.
"Whats up fam my name is T.N.T!
I am 29 years old and I've been exposed to music since I was three years old and . I really became interested in rapping at the age of nine, when my uncle would bring me underground mix tapes from Texas, Memphis, Miami and Atlanta. I started crafting my style from the influences of Lord Infamous, Playa Fly, Koopsta Nicca, Project Pat,Tech N9ne,Mr. Sche,Outkast and Goodie Mob. At that time, I did not have a name for myself, but my flows were so different from any other rappers in da hood. I had gangstas rocking to my freestyles and songs. Leo called me TNT because i blew my opponents asses off like dynamite!so, after that I started calling myself T.N.T- TRI- NITRO-TERRORIST!! I represent the dark side of hip hop and rap, which is always ignored, because the truth is always hard to swallow. Nobody wants to know that their son or daughter is on drugs or that their spouse is cheating on them. Nobody wants to make a change to better themselves and their community, or know that when they do wrong , eventually, they will have to face the consequences. That is ultimately why I, T.N.T.-TRI-NITRO-TERRORIST, will bring out the truth until it explodes in your face. People need to realize hiding the truth stunts growth and productivity. I see myself bringing back "Real" hard lyrics that is missing from some music right now. Everybody aint a druglord, gangsta, baller, or a killa. And not everybody wants to snap their fingers and shake their asses! As long as I breathe, I will represent the truth and harsh realities of life so future generations will learn from me and not make the same mistakes that have plagued our people for years. Better believe that when T.N.T. is heard, you will recognize that I'm bringing the almighty movement of MISSISSIPPI to ya!!
I also recorded trax with Koopsta Knicca,M.C. Mack and Mr. Sche! Be on da look out for my debut album on Mr. Sche's Label Immortal Inc".-Spoken in the words of T.N.T.

We salute the mighty mighty "SIP" & i feel that many of the artists from the state are really slept-on, and the South as a whole getting a bad rep, for the very few that thinks the music is a game & just in it to make money...that may be true...but as long as we have indpendent artists such as T.N.T., there's still "The Real" being created so to T.N.T., we salute you...stay grinding fam...we see you...100!!!-Mac Duddy$outh

GRIND & SHINE FEATURED ARTIST: MR. SIK-SYDE aka "SIK"
"I remember hearing a song by Tupac and realizing that this is what I want to do with my life,I want to tell my story."
With money tight,and very limited resources,he began writing his lyrics over instrumentals used by already famous rap artists.Once he had written and recorded 8 songs,he made 100 copies and handed them out to friends,and they handed them out to their friends.The feedback was outstanding.
"Once I got my music out there,I knew this was just the begining,because so many people were asking me for more songs"
Then he began making his own beats and writing all original music.Late in 1998 he released his first full underground album entitled "Heaven Born ,Hell Raised"
After that album he met and recorded his second album with local rapper and producer C4.
The "My Time" album included songs such as "El Chingon" which is a song about the hardships of Mexican American immgrints.
"El Chingon was my first real song about real life issues,and I believe it really helped me grow as an Artist and as a person"
Now having the knowledge,creativity,and confidence to pursue this carrer,he set off again to record more music.But something happened. He fell into a deep state of depression and had to be admitted into a mental hospital.His state of depression lasted for some time,around 2 years." One day I just woke up,I mean really woke up.I seen things clearly for the first time in my life.One thing that I hated seeing was how these idiots out here we killing rap and hip hop.It used to be about the streets,about the struggle.These rappers that hit the mainstream were killing that,they turned rap into a commercial,they made it all about product placement,and that really pissed me off."
So he set off to make more music.
He wrote and recorded 28 new songs.Each one more real and better than the last.Only focusing on real life experiences,and true stories,he began telling about his life threw his music.When people heard it,they identified with his lyrics and experiences.
"I was doing it man.Workin in the studio everyday,allday.I didnt even sleep.Just writting and recording,and it really help me get out of my depression because I was letting that negativity out instead of locking it inside."
By 2008 he had written and recorded over 200 songs.All distributed locally in his hometown of Sandusky,Ohio.
But again,he fell victim to the depression he had been fighting since a young child.
"So I went back in.(mental hospital) , I tried not to think about anything,but I just couldnt deal with my issues,not even with the meds,I needed a break from life."
So he took that break.A three year break.But after awhile he began to miss his first love.The Music.
"After a few years of livin life,getting married,having kids,raising a family,saying goodbye to lots and friends and family,i figured I got some even realer stories to tell,i grew even more."
He picked up the mic yet again,and his heart poured out.Making songs like "I aint ready to go" and " I never made it" touched on some really personal issues about how he doesnt want to die never having givin his carrer a legitimate chance to blossom.
In his song entitled "So alone" hit talks about the hardships of a rough marrige and the pressures of raising a family.But not all his new songs were on a personal level. In "Back up Back up" he unleashes his raw rhyming ability,and direct witty punchlines.
This caught the ears of California rapper Jay Smokes.Jay Smokes and brother Manny Sluggz are co-owners of independent record label "Section 8 Society" out of Salinas ,California.
Manny Sluggz,producer/artist for the label, had an online rap contest lookin for new talent.Mr.Sik-Syde entered that contest.Althought he only got third place,this started a very important movement for the Ohio and California rappers.Three teamed up after a confrence call,and Sik became the newest member to the label.
Mr.Sik-Syde appears on several tracks produced by Manny Sluggz,including "Bringin Heat" ,the first collab from Manny,Sik,And Jay Smokes.Also appearing on the highly contreversial track "Rap Swaggots".Both tracks are available on the Manny Sluggz self titled album,"Manny Sluggz".
Now with Section 8 Society in the mix,Sik has stepped his rap game way up,and is becoming the artist he always strived to be.He is currently working on his album under the Section 8 Society label.
This album due out in early Febuary,2012, is titled "In My World"
Although it has been a rough journey for Mr.Sik-Syde thus far,his legacy is just begining,and we have not heard the last of this Ohio born rapper.

FROM THE EDITOR
"Electric. That is exactly the first word I wanted to write. Therefore the lights have been turned on in Columbus, Georgia on a winter night: I penned the first edition of this Tri-City RealScene Newspaper along with a dedicated staff, sat back with a satisfactory grin, and decided that the elements have spoken. I wanted to make the Earth move, the ground shake – hip hop IS monumental within itself, my city a vast land of budding talent, and alas the Voice of Columbus Music cries out so loudly and with a such a force I must script it. The brilliant collages of jazz, gospel's spiritual and iridescent essence, hues within hip hop hooks, prisms of poets, and illustrious rainbows of rhythm and blues bring visions of the souls of our city. We applaud the painters of our sounds and styles, move with their portraits, and supply the eclectic in our informative frame: The Tri-City RealScene Newspaper of Columbus, Georgia is the tie that binds all Black Media resources of entertainment in this area, including Phenix City, Alabama and Fort Benning, Georgia.
