Sure, the suburbs of New Jersey may not be the newest hot spot for rap, but that doesn’t mean that the occasional freestyler can’t come up from the land of manicured lawns and polluted air. For example, take West Orange’s own Matt Miller aka GDP. Full disclosure, I’ve known the man/myth/legend for quite a number of years at this point, but that doesn’t take away from his true dedication and commitment to the rap game. We here at LNWF sent off a couple of questions for GDP while he was on his tour with Gainesville punks Dirty Money back in June.
You talk about New Jersey a lot in your lyrics. What is it about NJ that inspires you so much and how do you see the current rap scene in NJ?
GDP: I rep NJ because I think it is an interesting place to grow up. Its the diversity of New Jersey, particularly my hometown West Orange that makes for such well-rounded, crazy emmer effers. The punk rock scene here is one of the best, if not the best, in the country and world right now. There’s some talented cats coming out of NJ and repping worldwide. Hip hop shows actually taking place in NJ are hit or miss, usually miss. A lot of acts suck too.
Pitchfork has a review of My Bloody Valentine’s show in London, the first gig of their long-awaited reunion tour.
Jolie Holland has announced she will release her forth full-length, The Living And The Dead, on October 7th via Anti-.
The fastest guitar player on the planet is….Dave Hill???
Surburban Home has signed former Gunmoll leader Mike Hale. He will have a new record out for the label sometime in 2009. Check out the man’s past work at his Myspace. It rules.
Since The Love Guru did so poorly at the box office, has the world FINALLY realized that Mike Myers has been rehashing the same freakin’ characters for years? Probably not. Lord knows It won’t stop him from making sequel after sequel.
Stop by Generation Records today and pick up a copy of the recently reissued hardcore classic The Age Of Quarrel from The Cro-Mags. The album is remastered and comes with three tracks that you have never heard before. I must say, it’s sounds amazing. Go pick it up. NOW!
Our friends in Paint It Black have announced a hefty number of shows for the spring. The band will play with everyone from Cloak/Dagger, Cold World, Blacklisted, and New Mexican Disaster Squad. Oh and they will also be playing two gigs in California with Leatherface. Wait, LEATHERFACE!? Yes, you read that right. Dudes, if you can convince Frank Stubbs and the gang to hit the East Coast, you have many sandwiches waiting for you in NYC. I assure you.
Check out the dates after the jump.
