Columbus, Ohio got talent people
I want to introduce you all to Illness. He’s a pretty talented rapper that reps Columbus, Ohio. He’s ready to be taken seriously and wants to put the city of Columbus on his back. Check him out on myspace at http://www.myspace.com/illnessimc. Also, watch out for the interview and freestyle he did for crabzinabarrel.com.
Here’s his boy too , Yung Soja. They both rep the same crew and the same area code. He’s another talented rapper that I had the privilege of hearing for the first time and was highly impressed. Check his myspace page out at http://www.myspace.com/imcishere.
Show Recap: Santigold at 9:30 Club
Concert Review + Photos by Urbansocialight
Santigold (formerly Santogold because one of those corny ass “sell me your old gold” companies was threatening to sue her), sold out her DC show at the 9:30 Club within the first two days. They went on sale on a Wednesday and when I thought to buy my ticket it was Friday and it was already sold out. Being a huge fan from day one, I was totally boosted when I scored a last minute ticket Tuesday night off of craigslist.
Music Influenced by Go-Go
I’m loving the hell out this project. I liked how Judah taught us some history on Go-Go. Downlaod this mixtape and you will see how the music industry has been stealing Go-Go music from the DMV for ages.

Milly July “Sneak Chamber” Mixtape
I had this mixtape sitting around for like a couple of weeks now, but I actually had a chance to listen to the mixtape today, while I was on my long bus ride home. I really did enjoy the music. I’m glad to see a lot of women from the area doing their thing when it comes to making music. She reps Bmore and you can check her out on myspace at http://www.myspace.com/millyjuly.

RatheMC Freestyle……………….
Let me say RatheMC was the first artist from the DMV that made me follow the DMV music scene. When I heard her rap I had to find more music on her. Check out her blog at RAtheMC.com and her myspace page at http://www.myspace.com/simplyra .

Katrina Bello’s cover of India Arie’s “The Truth”
Hey Crabzinabarrel world!!!! I was trying to give you Katrina Bello’s cover of Keri Hilson’s “Knock You Down” but the audio on that video has been set to the original song. Even though I didn’t see it I am sure she sounded better than Keri Hilson. Although I am a fan of Keri Hilson I have seen her live once and I had to walk away just so my ears would not go out on me. She is a good writer but singing is not her talent. I aint mad at her though because if I was a successful songwriter and people kept getting famous off of my songs I would sing my own shit too. Anyways please check out Katrina Bello’s cover of India Arie’s “The Truth.” You should also check out her myspace at http://www.myspace.com/katrinabello.

Some Crabz Belong in the D*mn Barrel!
Anyone who knows me knows I’m completely guilty of wearing leggings instead of pants. But there are a couple of rules for this practice. First, unless you are wearing high quality liquid leggings, your shirt should cover your butt. Second, if for any reason your butt is not covered, it should be free from lumps and/or granny panties. Lastly, it is never, [I repeat] NEVER acceptable to tuck your shirt into your leggings! That’s like tucking your shirt into your tights…it’s just not a good look.
