J the S Record Release Party



Last night was Boston native's J the S record release party, Defam was in attendance and overall so was Boston. The show was a little slow at first but started to pick up real quick, with a jam packed bill everything started to flow real nice. Big homie Emilio Rojas, also came out and burned it down. Although he played a real quick set, you can tell this dude is just on another level with everything. Everybody shouldn't sleep on this dude, one of the hungriest out there! Shouts to J the S, if you haven't downloaded his new mixtape get it now! Homie is on the rise!

Thanks to Artie for the snaps!


GoodWood Release Party!

We are all about supporting each other in this movement and encourage everyone to check out those who dedicate themselves to this culture. Brands and blogs pop up every day, which helps the market and floods the market. But with continuing support, the growth can be enough for everyone to gain momentum. Especially with markets that are still very unfamiliar with what we are trying to do. Again, thank you, and keep em coming. You can still purchase some tees on our webstore.

Defam Presents: ST Da Squad's DJ Deadeye [Mixtape droppin soon]

Everyone remember those collabo pieces we did with St Da Squad x Termanology last year? Well we back at it again with them, this time we got Term's right hand man with us for a little Q and A. DJ Deadeye what's really good??



What's good man?
jus keeping busy,working on a bunch of new music and mixtapes..plus doin shows on a regular basis.

Any projects in the mix?
yeah right now I'm finishing a new Mixtape Called "Full Metal jacket" it is made up of all Freestyles Tons of good MC's and of course ST. is on it all day. I'm also wrapping up my Debut Album "Substance Abuse" Real Soon and should hopefully be out for the Summertime



Can't wait for that shit! Any plans for tours this year? With who?
yeah there are always tours being worked out behind the scenes..Right now Termanology and ST.da Squad jus got on this east coast tour with Rapper Pooh of Little Brother and The Problematics...then me & term will be in Europe for the Whole month of March with Big Noyd & Havoc of Mobb Deep...so like I said we stay busy man
In your eyes, who do you see makin noise in 2010, nationally? Locally?
Unsigned- I would say Look out for Reks this year he is killin it right now his mixtape In between the lines is Amazing check dat out yo real Hip-Hop shit right there..Signed-I would say Game,Drake,Wu-Tang,Eminem I think all those artist are gonna do some major Moves in 2010..




Reks is a beast! Who/what influences you?

I like alot of older Hip-Hop 80's,90's stuff ya kno, that is what influences me to make music. My Team Motivates me tho cuz we all want to contribute to the success of the group and each other so we are constantly trying to make moves.

What other projects can we expect from the St. family?
Well we got-
Termanology & Statik Selektah are "1982" which drops early summer, then my Album "Substance Abuse" will be out mid-Summer, we also have Artisin droppin his album "Spit your Heart out", Ghetto and Termanology got a Album called "2 of Americaz most Wanted" that will be out in the Fall,Hectic and Clip also have a album coming out soon called Double or Nothing..and of Course we working on a ST. da Squad Album as well



Always puttin it in, much respect. Which has been your favorite show to be a part of?
Way to many to pick 1 but, when we toured with Redman & Method Man was pretty special, also Hip Hop Kemp in Czech Republic was Insane too 20,000 people 3 day show Crazy!!!


Damn homie, 20K? Mad energy I can imagine. How do you feel about the growth of your music/St? Term?

I think that we are ahead of what we put out the stuff we have that is unreleased is gonna blow peolple away...I think my Lp is gonna change alot of the perception of that ST. has around it...ST. is growing well too with the additions of guys like Gauge and H-Blanco it was a good move because it was 2 pieces we didn't have before..and we are gettin better at what we are trying to portray to the people...Term is always pushing the envelope for us and pushing us to expect better of ourselves and he stays busy wit shows, mixtapes,videos,Albums,magazines..you name it,so it shows us that if we go Hard we can have a voice in Hip-hop too.

Shouts:
I wanna give a Big shout out to my ST.Records family,Big up to Defamation nation those are my peoples...Look out for Full Metal jacket Coming Real soon...and Stay Tuned for that Substance Abuse Album Coming This Summer on ST.Records

DefamTV Presents: DXC NYC [RECAP]

DefamTV Presents: DunkXchange 10 NYC from Defamation Nation on Vimeo.


Over the weekend we took our monthly trip to NYC to market, expand, and to catch up with some friends. We also participated in this month's Dunkxchange. Being from Mass/NH and knowing that there wasn't going to be any shows around here we felt New York was more appropriate to setup shop and to try and gain some new clientele. We've been to a few shows in the past, including the Boston area, but this was our first time as an actual vendor. Overall the vibe was dope, all the people were all about building and we sold some product. Being a new brand and all we felt blessed to have been well received, and know that to not be overlooked in a building full of rare goods means something.


Jammm! ONLY IN NYC! (and Mexico, Mass, NH, and any other Margarita type restaurant)


Apparently 15ft means 2ft according to 5-0/ $115 to be filed under business expense.


Small crowd.


Our little pop up.






O.T. to O.D.


Big homie Vulkan.





Vegan spot Emilio unveiled to us, heard it was dope. I had Pizza Hut with mad meat.


B-rollin with Emilio, Vid interview by next week. Download his mixtape presented by DJ Green Lantern: THE NATURAL. That butter!

Shouts to Steve Ramos, Techie, Erare, Danny(WBA) Emilio Rojas, Jonathan Master, Vulkan, 8 and 9, Sneaker Studio, J-Essential, Sab and Wolf for all the help and contribution they've made for the productive weekend.
