The Blast Spotlight: Dem Carolina Boiz

Dem Carolina Boiz Bio


What happens when you take two premiere players from two cities with a sworn hatred for one another and take them out of their element? What happens when you put them in an unfamiliar environment and force them to depend on one another? What do you think would happen if you put them in a studio together? I tell you what you get- Dem Carolina Boiz!!! Vincent Neclos (AKA Big V) and Troyce Sanders (AKA Bingo da Doughboi) are two flame spittin tyrants with plans on not only dominating the south, but the whole rap game! Big V brings a peanut butter molasses flow with punch-lines that promise to leave loose teeth while Bingo gives off that Crunk/buck energy that will set fire to a track as if it was hit with a Molotov cocktail. “Our styles just fit,” says Big V while Bingo boasts that “We are the perfect definition of the Carolina’s: Crazy, Country, and Crunk; deal wit it!” Packing a mean Southern drawl that was cultivated in the bricks and pavement of Southeast D.C. and Hendersonville, N.C., Big V’s flow is the perfect chaser to Bingo’s methodical Crunk, home grown in the mountains of Asheville, N.C. With their monster tracks “Start a Riot,” “Whut You Gonna Do,” and “Say it to My Face” making noise on national mixtapes, their (adopted) home town anthem “Fuck Wit Us” ft Boobe (Oy Boyz)” and “4,5,6” (WPGC 95.5’s DJ Funk Regulator Cee-Lo’s official theme song),and the ladies as far away as Florida riding out to “Shawty Badd” and “Shrimp n Gritz,” these two are ready to step up to the plate and put up Barry Bonds numbers! Backed by 8trix Productions (Producer for Jody Breeze, Freeway, Outlawz, Diplomats, Paul Wall, Oy Boyz, and Devin the Dude, among others) and with so many southern prospects being drafted by labels, Dem Carolina Boiz are looking to be a first round pick come signing day due to their ability to mix Southern Crunk with the witty lyricism of their Northern brethren. “We can get you buck, but still hit you wit lyrical shit too. We like a more lyrical Triple Six [Mafia] or sumthin; we just put that Carolina spin on it,” Big V boasts of the combination of himself and Bingo. “Hell, we still an untapped market,” adds Bingo of what the Carolinas have to add to the rap game. So, if there ever was a weakness in Southern hip-hop, Dem Carolina Boiz are poised to stitch it up, one riot at a time! Look out for their 1st mix-tape 828 Pt.1: Land of the Lost Souls (hosted by the Aphilliates own Nickolas Kage!), the smash follow up 828 pt. 2: Carolina Ridin (Hosted by 456’s/ WPGC/XM Radio/ATL DJ Ceelo as well as the debut album Moonshine & BBQ to be on shelves soon after!

The Blast Spotlight: Sadat X

THE FACTS ON SADAT
Sadat X (born Derek Murphy) is an American rapper, most famed as a member of Alternative hip hop group Brand Nubian. Originally known as Derek X, Sadat takes his name from former Egyptian president Anwar Sadat. The X is taken from the Nation of Islam practice of members changing their surnames simply to X. He is well known for his unique, high-pitched voice, as well as his Pro-Black, and at times controversial, lyrical content.
Sadat X debuted with Brand Nubian in 1989, with the release of their debut single "Brand Nubian" b/w "Feels So Good". The group's debut album, One For All, was released in late 1990, featuring the singles "All For One", "Wake Up" and "Slow Down". The album was widely acclaimed, inspired by the teachings of the Nation of Islam, similar to many groups of the era, including X-Clan, Public Enemy and Poor Righteous Teachers. One For All is now considered a classic hip hop album, and was awarded a 5 Mic rating from popular magazine The Source. Brand Nubian returned in 1993 with the album In God We Trust, which featured the hit single "Punks Jump Up To Get Beat Down". Sadat received a bit of controversy following the song's release, due to alleged homophobic content. Following the mixed reviews from the group's third album, 1994's Everything is Everything, Brand Nubian split up to pursue solo endeavors. In 1996, Sadat released his first solo effort, Wild Cowboys. The album featured production from O.Gee Pete Rock, Da Beatminerz, Diamond D, Showbiz and Buckwild, as well as a pair of hit singles, "Hang 'Em High" and "The Lump Lump", the former charting on the Billboard Hot 100. Sadat reunited with original Brand Nubian members Grand Puba, Lord Jamar and DJ Alamo for a reunion album, Foundation, released in late 1998. The album was well-received, and featured the crossover hit "Don't Let it Go to Your Head". After the album, Brand Nubian broke up once again for solo endeavors. In 1999, Sadat made possibly his most famous guest appearance with Common, dropping a verse on the single "1-9-9-9", from the Rawkus Records compilation Soundbombing 2. Sadat released an EP in 2000, titled The State of New York vs. Derek Murphy, which featured the single "Ka-Ching". Brand Nubian reunited once again in 2004, for the release of the album Fire in the Hole. The album was seen as a disappointment, and the group split again for solo albums. Sadat released his second full length album, Experience & Education, in 2005, featuring production from Diamond D, DJ Spinna and Minnesota. On December 22, 2005, Sadat was arrested in Harlem and charged with criminal possession of a weapon, reckless endangerment and resisting arrest.[1] On October 3, 2006, Female Fun Music released Sadat's third full-length album Black October.
Sadat is involved in teaching children. Has worked as an elementary school teacher in New Rochelle, New York. Qualified as a firefighter in New Rochelle, New York. Coaches children's basketball for the New York City Basketball League. He also played point guard for the Howard University basketball team.

The Blast interview with THIRD of THE RAT PACK

THE BLAST: Who are The Rat Pack?

Third: The Rat Pack is myself 3rd, Rif, Kwest and Lyriks

THE BLAST: How would you describe the other members of the Rat Pack?

Third: Rif is real cool and laid back but you can tell when you see him he don't play. He has a presence to him, Lyriks is the young one, real ambitious and eager to do things. Kwest rhymes and do beats. He a perfectionist, he strives to put his best foot forward, but we are all leaders.

THE BLAST: How did you all come together?
Third: I knew Rif back in high school. I was the new kid and I ran with him and his people. I was battling and doing songs but he wasn't into rhyming like that. His brother was a DJ so he always loved the art of hip hop. I met Kwest at college. We got in some sessions and I was cool with him 'cause he had this flow and was a lyrical cat. You know sometimes that's hard to find. Kwest knew Lyriks I really don't know how but I hooked Rif and Kwest up last year. Rif hit me up wanting to do some music so I linked him up with Kwest. Kwest was feeling the way Rif was spitting. Not too long after that Kwest trying to get Rif to do a project but Rif wasn't interested in a solo at the time. That went on for a minute then the Rat Pack idea came up. Rif and Kwest told me about it and I was down and then Kwest was talking about Lyriks and he had a love for the art like us and we just went in. We did the mixtape just for the love of hip hop and to bring some balance to what's out now.

THE BLAST: Do you all plan on coming together for future projects?

Third: We will always do projects. We are all cool. We are working on an album now and even with the solo projects we help each other with promotion, beats, mixes whatever is needed.

THE BLAST: Speaking for just 3rd, what are some of your future plans?

Third: As for me I wear a lot of hats. I engineer, produce, do web sites, graphics and teach. Right now I working on building the Hustle Mill company. I want to use all my talents in that company to help other people push their ventures.

THE BLAST: So we can't really expect a 3rd solo project in the foreseeable future, correct?
Third: I don't plan on a solo project, but I didn't plan on rhyming on the Rat Pack album either. I was just supposed to mix and do beats. I just did a solo song but you will have to check the Rat Pack page to see if it leaks.

THE BLAST: If you could speak to hip hop as if it were a woman, what would you tell her?

Third: I would tell her to stop letting everybody treat her like a toy. I know everybody likes their fun but there are people that love and miss how you use to be.
