Hip-Hop Hates Cancer 2016

Hip-Hop Hates Cancer. CopyWrite Hates Cancer. Everyone Should Hate Cancer.

Tomorrow, April 29 at 9pm, make your way down to the Cactus Club to hate cancer with us. The benefit concert will be raising money for the Children's Hospital of Wisconsin's oncology department and more specifically kids that are suffering from terminal cancer, and their families, in an attempt to help them get better and enjoy the time they have left together.

With a $5 cover (with a suggested $10 fee), 100% of the profits go towards the charity. The show is 21+ but that shouldn’t stop you from donating; especially since you can donate online now.  

While you wait for the show, listen to the mix below from Milwaukee Record of the performers.

Camb - Run It Up (Prod. Vikaden)

Camb is here to stay.

With heartfelt rhymes reminding his listeners that they do not want it like he does. Camb brings us "Run It Up" produced by Vikaden. The track lays out Camb's heart speaking on God, his family, his hustle and his views on college.

We dig it. Listen to the track below.

Written & Performed By: T. Barrett Bays Produced By: Vikaden Recorded, Mixed & Mastered By: S. Sloans Follow Me: @itsCAMB @VikeIsKing @TheFakePizzle

& if you want more from this artist, listen here to his project released in January, "ONE". 

Rina - I Tried (Prod. Esmé)

Pretty much one word to describe this song from Milwaukee's R&B/soul singer Rina... DOPE!

With strong mixing and production from Esmé and Rina's soft and soulful voice singing away all of her emotions; we know that everything will be okay. "I Tried" is one out of two songs released on her SoundCloud but we can't help but anticipate more from this artist as time goes by. 

So chill and vibe out to "I Tried" below and let us know what you think of this lady of R&B. 

And in case you missed it, listen to her other single, "Temptation" below.

giving me that.. Prod. MEDASIN

Ammorelle x Ree$e x Lotus V. - PowerPLANT (Prod. by Trog)

"They say the 414 is cursed."

We would say different after seeing and hearing the talent that comes from the place we call home.

So listen to "PowerPLANT," a thought-provoking song that combines strong lyrics, killer beat and some great production to what we all might need to hear. With verses from Ammorelle, Ree$e and Lotus Valentine; we're hoping for more tracks to come from this unique trio.  

Feel the emotion of our city through this powerful track.

WebsterX - Everything (prod. by Q the Sun)

It’s Earth Day so we thought we would share this extraordinary and unworldly video.

Produced and directed by Cody LaPlant and Damien Blue, Webster X brings us the next “trilogy” to the incredible visuals we have already seen for “Doomsday” and “Lately” that were released last year.

The video for “Everything” captures the essence of the song by showcasing a nontraditional path and approach to music as well as the path to sharing ones gift with the world. (Yeah we know Web is an alien but hey we get the metaphor.)

Premiered by Pigeons and Planes, Webster X told them, “This video is a testament of something I’m desperately trying to share with the world, I got a vision man, Cody and Damien allow me to share that with people. People are really starting to realize that slowly. I’ll tell them what that vision is when the world fully accepts me.”

We hear him.

Watch the video below and as we respect our living legends; listen to Ms. Lauryn Hill's, “Everything is Everything” here (because we couldn’t not mention it).

Cree Myles - Crave Me

Sometimes as an artist, you will make songs that will pour your heart right on your sleeve for everyone to hear. If told in a compelling way, your audience can hear your story, understand it and then they can put themselves in the same place as the artist.

This is when we insert Cree Myles video for “Crave Me” which accomplishes this and more.

Her heartfelt song, mixed and recorded by Lon Renzell of THEMpeople, showcases her range of vocal skills along with her undeniable trait to get the audience captivated in what she’s doing and the story she has to tell. The song is pure, vulnerable and a story that we think anyone can relate to. Who can’t relate to wanting someone or even something that doesn’t want you back?

Shot by Tristan and Trayton White, we believe the new song and video is just the start of what Cree has waiting for her audience. Watch the video below.

RIP Prince #RespectTheLegendary

Prince (born Prince Rogers Nelson) was a legacy.

As a Minneapolis native, musician, singer, style icon and endless creative soul, Prince influenced and changed the way people viewed all types of music; breaking down genres and spreading love all in the same breathe.

Today, Prince died (April 21) at the age of 57 in his Paisley Park home and studio, confirmed by his publicist to the Associated Press.

In his 35-plus-year career, Prince released 39 solo studio albums as he continuously experimented with psychedelic rock, intergalactic funk and everything in-between. His 1978 debut album For You and self-titled second LP, released in October 1979, kicked off an incredibly prolific run of albums that included 1999, Purple Rain, Around The World In A Day, Sign O The Times and Batman, among others, throughout the 1980s at a clip of nearly one per year, evolving with each release.

But we could go on and on about the greatness that was Prince. The world will miss him.

Rest peacefully.

Listen to some of CW's favorite songs from the legacy below. #RespectTheLegendary

Dukalion - Reggie & A Miller

Dukalion maybe in LA but he definitely hasn't forgot his roots. "Reggie & A Miller" (a great play on words for the NBA legends name) brings back memories of the artist young life in Milwaukee and all the people he shared it with. He name drops some local spots like OG's (Oakland Gyros) and leaks some details on some wild nights. It's good to know he still thinks about home. 

Check out his new track this 4/20, spark one for the homie and anticipate "The Journey Of The Lost Ark" coming soon.

One of my favorite songs, was supposed to be on The Journey Of The Lost Ark, but I'll share this joint with y'all for 4/20 instead. Roll up, twist off and reminisce with ya boy! (Also, apologies on the quality, hopefully the lofi feel compliments the story for you!)

Artwork by the homie Xavier Ruffin. 

Emmitt James - FREE Refills

We can smell the coffee, hear the grind (literally) and see the coffee shop all in the four tracks.

In "FREE Refills," Emmitt James brings us a project that tells us some love and lust stories he has encountered while his featured artists tells their own love stories to match from love of self, love of culture and love of love lost. We dig it.

Now we tell you to grab your favorite cup of Jo' (almond chai latte if you will) and sip "FREE Refills" below.

The best things in life are FREE. C R E D I T S written by Emmitt J Williams Jr, Ian "Tombo" Tishler, Janiyah Moore recorded, mixed and mastered by David aka "i-Nine" in Los Angeles, CA at JTB Recording with production by Ashton Mc Creight, DARK|HORSE (aka D|H) and nathan hateua

Regular (Prod. 4Keys)

Lavish is clearly stating his position on regularity with his new track, "Regular" produced by 4Keys. 

The tempo allows you to hit a slow dab with ease. Very light; no pressure. 

Check it out and tell us what you think.

Pshh... CopyWrite don't do the regular... ayeeee!

Nothing that I do is regular.
