“This project is my personal way of putting a distinctive bookmark in this chapter in my life, and a way to pass a sincere thank you to Jay-Z, Mr. Sean Carter, for all of the memories, the opportunity to rock on stage as an artist with him around the world, and for the kindness to me as a person. You know I had to do it in my language; a thank you in music. A sincere thank you and respect to Jay-Z and the Roc Boys. Take a listen, spread the word, and enjoy the music!

Posted by Goobs On March - 3 - 2010ADD COMMENTS

Usually Lou posts about music on Wednesdays, but since I stomp around the antisteez universe to the beat of my own iPod, I am gonna post about this happy, little Brit band that I stumbled upon not once, but twice today. And I’m not gonna try and learn ya something. But I do want you to act like ya heard, dig? First and foremost, this has nothing to do with hip hop. Seriously. So, if you are a hip-hop head that is gonna suffer a case of clenched asshole if you don’t hear beats and rhymes... Read More →

Happening in the 305: ART BATTLES

Posted by Goobs On February - 25 - 20101 COMMENT

Combat. War. Competitors, mano-a-mano. Toe-to-toe. This is what we crave, people. We are a society of voyeurs and we need entertainment. We wait, expectant for something to happen and then we choose a side and we root and cheer. It is in our nature. Back in the day, we watched the gladiators rip each other apart, but now, being a more refined culture, we still crave fierce competition. This is why we challenge our MC’s to rhyme raw. This is why swagger exists. And this is why even visual... Read More →

Album Review: ONE SHOT, by Alukard

Posted by Lou On February - 11 - 20102 COMMENTS

Here at antisteez, we like to hype you up about a little place we call, THE FUCKING 305. Yes, that’s right. Miami. We put on for our city here at antisteez which is why we had to rep hard for 305 rock  and local band/heroes ALUKARD and their newly released album, ONE SHOT. When they sent us an advanced copy of the album, both Lou and myself wanted to write the review. So after a little bit of tug-of-war, coupled with a few, “I’ll do it. NO! I’ll do it” convos, we decided... Read More →

I did however miss the first performance of “New Fang”, but got to see “Mind Eraser, No Chaser”. Read More →  Read More →
