ILL BREAKS CREW » Props

Deuces

The Unbelievable MC Fong — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 16:39:42 +0000

Hello friends:

One of my hopes with our little Ill Breaks Crew site was to help those in the hip-hop community that don’t know Jesus Christ, to know Jesus Christ. Another was to help get some exposure for some of great talent by Christians, especially Canadian ones, whether they are Christian-hip-hop artists or Christian, hip-hop artists (“with a hyphen or a comma”). This is because whether they are a Christian who makes hip-hop music or Christian-hip-hop music, I think it can help the kingdom of God and the spreading of the Gospel. I want people to hear dope music that is also good for their soul.

Sadly, I do not currently have the time (and haven’t for a minute) to keep up this site or to make it better than it is. However, I have an opportunity now to increase both of the hopes I had with this little site by helping out Sphere of Hip-Hop (click here). I am now their “Canadian contact”. Why Sphere of Hip-Hop will be more advantageous than Ill Breaks Crew is because of many reasons, but here are a few:

- Ill Breaks Crew has 370 Facebook fans and 653 Twitter followers. Sphere of Hip-Hop has 26,700 Facebook fans and 2,940 Twitter followers
– My site has around 1581 visits a month whereas Sphere has 3.4 million average monthly page views/hits and 47,481 average visitors per day!
– Sphere of Hip-Hop serves up podcasts, mp3 downloads, videos, forums, email list, a store, and more!

Thus, I’m going to slow down the Ill Breaks Crew site, but I am glad to be a part of this new team and I hope that I can help out great Canadian, Christian, hip-hop artists and people that don’t know Jesus. (Once in a while, feel free to check back, especially the free music page and our Facebook and Twitter.) I might even stop the site, and as much as I would like to a Canadian site dedicated to Canadians, again, it’s not possible for me right now and joining Sphere of Hip-Hop will be a much better for helping people to know God and some great hip-hop – all 4 elements. Please pray for me to learn it quickly and do it well (I feel like I’m already behind).

I have enjoyed every minute to trying to fulfill the hopes I had through Ill Breaks Crew, both the crew and the website. Thank you all so much for your prayers, participation, support, website visits, sharing our links, the encouraging words, and the sending of material over the years (can’t believe it’s been almost 2 ½ years). Thank you to the Ill Breaks Crew! Even though we disbanded, I hope to see y’all again soon as I miss ya. Thanks to all those who have helped with the technical aspects of this site. Thank you to all the artists that make dope music. Thank you to those in the hip-hop culture, and churches and ministries that have been a blessing along the way. Thanks to God.

For any comments, questions, and such, give me a shout at illbreakscrew@gmail.com.
God bless.

Help Support Sphere Of Hip-Hop

The Unbelievable MC Fong — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 14:32:52 +0000

Sphere of Hip-Hop is a dope site. They have news, forums, a store, videos, interviews, reviews, free downloads, and more! We share some material with them and we get some material for our site from them. They are good people and could use some financial help. They haven’t asked us to do this, but if you can help them out with their website hosting costs, even if it’s $1, please do so. Check out more information by clicking here. Feel free to share this is others too.

Clutch is hard at work!

The Unbelievable MC Fong — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 05:35:31 +0000

On Dec. 29th, Clutch dove back into the studio in Altona’s YFC drop-in center, “The Station”, to begin recording for his debut solo LP entitled ‘Notebooking’. The project features 10 songs that are a mixture of classic hip hop, new school, and spoken word. Guests include Sev Statik (Tunnel Rats/ Deepspace5) and The Custodians (The Runaway, Crisis, Qu-C). The project is entirely produced by Clutch, save one beat from Re:Flex the Architect (Scribbling Idiots). No release date set. Check the video below.

Beat Die-A-Logue

The Unbelievable MC Fong — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 05:14:19 +0000

Did you miss it a week ago? Canada’s own Die-Rek dropped another project for us – and it’s free! Get it by clicking here.

The 411 from Die-Rek: “Beat Die-A-Logue” takes you on an expedition through the soul with work that is laced with intrigue, emotion, authentic bass lines cutting edge drums and impacting arrangements that ultimately are Die-Rek.

The single “Rinse” by ChrisJay as featured on the project brings sobering content with seemingly effortless flow that compliments and really makes solid what “Beat Die-A-Logue” is all about.

This catalogue transcends culture and language and is the fitting successor to “The Die-Version Project” that Die-Rek released independently earlier this year.

The Project and DJ Pack are available for FREE DOWNLOAD at www.DIE-REK.com hosted via bandcamp.

Beat Tape ’11 by Clutch

The Unbelievable MC Fong — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 05:35:26 +0000

Cop this new Beat Tape by Canada’s Clutch! Only $5 (or more if you like). Great beats and a bonus track with features by Sev Statik, Paradox, MC Forty, Qu-C, Freddie Bruno, The Runaway, reSEARCH, and Sintax.The.Terrific. Click here to head over to the Bandcamp page. Good guy, good music.

From Clutch: “Beat Tape 11 is a project that came about after a lunch with some friends. After the lunch my friend Harvey Rempel took me to a record store that was having a sale. I got a box full of great stuff that he and I dug out and picked through. I set off with a plan: out of these records I would craft a Beat Tape. I inserted a few beats from my vaults and added sound clips from a few new sources. Months later, with hours of more work, here is Beat Tape 11.”

Thank you

The Unbelievable MC Fong — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 05:07:39 +0000

Many battles, many victories and many lives lost for them. Don’t forget that the world is a better place because of what they’ve done. Thank you to’em.

N.I.F.T.Y. releases new album, THE ONES

The Unbelievable MC Fong — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 05:01:03 +0000

From NIFTY: “It’s been over 5 years since I released my last album. A LOT has happened to me since then, a lot of trials and a lot of growth. So naturally, I have a lot to share, and I’ve shared it on this new project entitled, “THE ONES”

The Ones stands for “Through HIS Example, Our Numbers Enter Salvation” – It is a collection of 11 messages intended for 11 different groups of people (i.e. single parents, Christian skeptics, young singles etc.) Every song refers back to an example or principle of Christ.

My prayer is that it will encourage, entertain and edify each listener. If you have a few bucks to spare, please take some time to support this project and share it with your family and friends. I have received so many great testimonies from a few of the tracks, so I hope the album will bless you as well.

Much Love!

Click HERE to pick up the album.”
