The infamous duo from Queensbridge, Mobb Deep, came to DC to perform during Howard University Homecoming weekend.  But before they did the crew from Ill Street got a chance to rap with Prodigy on air about what they've been working on, their influences and they're take on the current state of Hip-Hop.  Plus, DMV's finest MC, Pro'Verb, joined us to talk about the release of his debut project entitled While You're Waiting.  And on the 1's and 2's was DJ 2-Tone Jones providing a mix of classic joints featuring the infamous Mobb Deep, Pro'Verb, Lyriciss and Ra the MC.  Check it out here!

Alot of interesting things are brewing in the DC area, and as always the crew from Ill Street is there first to let the people know. Helping us kick the night off were comedians Eddie Bryant and Lamont King who are gearing up for their event on Oct. 26th at the Riot Act Comedy Theater in DC called Trippin' on E. Local promoter and MC, Von (a.k.a. Vendetta), stopped by to give away a free pair of tickets to the upcoming Mobb Deep show on Oct. 22nd (Howard Homecoming Weekend). Also, Ill Street's own, DJ 2-Tone Jones, along with his creative partner, Gerald Watson, talked about the release of their new EP entitled The Gil Scott Suite: a SHAOLIN JAZZ tribute to the late Gil Scott-Heron. Last but not least, the whole team took a moment of silence on honor of Sylvia Robinson (founder of Sugarhill Records) who recently passed away. Check it out right here!
