Cancer Rising http://www.cancerrising.com/ Welcome to this, the answer to your nightly, tearful prayers - the premier internets website for all things pertaining to ya boys Cancer Rising. en Copyright 2009 Sat, 20 Jun 2009 13:10:43 -0800 http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/ http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss SO WHAT'S UP WITH CR? We've been getting this question a lot- so let it be known; CR is still here. We're individually putting in a lot of work you can't see- well, some of it you can, such as on 206Proof (Seattle's Hiphop Forum) and it's sister sites Raindrop Hustla (Seattle's OG Rap Blog) and Reign City (Seattle's Urban Arts Calendar). We're living real lives just like you of course, and widening our horizons...Tiles is about to go sit on a plane for an ungodly amount of time while he trots the globe like Kane from Kung Fu. Gats is getting it the fucc "n" with his other projects They Live and Nite Owls, among his BS writing and other things. J is in an intense self-improvement regimen, honing his mind & body to a razor's edge, transforming himself into a one-man killing machine. But music wise? We're recharging the old batteries, living, and writing songs for our next project. Expect a lot of collaboration from the town's finest, expect a lot of heat. Expect to once again see why we're your favorite local rapper's favorite local rappers...LOL http://www.cancerrising.com/2009/06/so_whats_up_with_cr.html http://www.cancerrising.com/2009/06/so_whats_up_with_cr.html General General Sat, 20 Jun 2009 13:10:43 -0800 "LOCKDOWN" MIXTAPE: RARE CR SHIT FOR DL oldschoolme7.jpg

Waddup folks! I've been trying to find some old CR shit per request of some of y'all...and I came across this guy.

Madpassion Vol.1 : Lockdown was a mixtape that featured CR and Mista Ock, as we were both down with Madpassion Records @ the time (so was my dude Phil, known today to y'all as Phil In The Blank). Shout out to Matt "D" Wong and our longtime collaborator (and genius fucking producer) Manat Mcleod, now of the dope Seattle band Man Plus. Also featured is Key from Central Intelligence and Cheena Finesse from Vancouver's Fly Antics crew. Oh, and shout out to Kraneum, and the OG Big Rob too- I see you homie.

If memory serves, this came out in 2003 and made zero noise (painful LOL). It was all mixed by DJ R-Sin and I think you mufuckas will dig it.

So yeah. You can get it here.

PS- If you leave some comments to the tune of "I like this old shit from the vaults", I might keep it up.

Thanks to all of our friends fam and fans that came out to celebrate with us. It was an unexpectedly great turnout and a damn good time front to back. djblesOne spun some incredible 80/90's joints for all us grandpa/ma's in the house, then host Barfly got up to deliver one in a series of incredible introductions I could never do justice in print. YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT IT IS! The Valley got up and just fucking murked everything, they were so heavy and loud it was impossible to talk- AWESOME! Seriously, somebody remarked the Mudhoney-ish vibe and i couldn't agree more. Classic, HEAVY, LOUD-ASS, Seattle rock. I loved it and a lot of other people did too. (LOL they're playing on KEXP right now!) If I'm not mistaken, this is when Barfly began The Slow Clap. The Stuff Of Legend. How do you top that? You put on Dyme Def- who went up there and killed as they always do with their synergetic triangle offense of young bossy swag-rap. I found out from a few people his was their first time seeing DD and all went away duly impressed, even some that were admittedly skeptical at first. The Girls got up and went way hard on some serious attitudinal punky 80's keyboard-laced rock reminscent of The (almighty)Cars, who they covered during their dope set. Those guys don't fuck around and they had a whole contingent of die-hards in front loving them and their penicled on pencil 'staches, plus they brought the legend,SLATS, to a CR gig. Fucking sweet, and they rocked. Then CR did their 1-2 thing; if you know the real then you know the deal. A fast, loud, energetic, sweaty, cussin', very brief technical difficulties having, hands in the air, jump in the crowd DUMB-OUT. Here's some video, forgive the low-res:
"Watch Your Step"
"Perseverance" & "Umbrella"
"Wait A Minute!" It was a fun set to cap off a VERY fun show and we can't thank enough everybody that played- the rock bands admitted they were initially skeptical of this set up til it cracked off haha- and everybody that partied with us(206 Proof was most definitely in the house).
