Grant Parks feat. Crazy 8 & First Mic - "Top of the World"

Here's the first video release off Grant Parks Comp. The Moment Of Clarity, "Top of the World". This is one of the last songs Grant Parks produced and recorded with Crazy 8 and rhyming partner First Mic before Crazy 8's life was tragically taken earlier this year. Grant saw it fit to add "Top Of The World" to his latest compilation as a tribute. Cousin to Rhymefest, Crazy 8 knew what it took and had a very promising future. Take a moment in retrospect as Crazy 8 & First Mic tell an eerie story and raps what seems to be his own life in this song.

June 4th 2009 Miguel Russell a.k.a Crazy 8's life was Tragically taken and his dream of being one day on top of the world was shattered. Hip hop has lost yet another soon to be great.He has left behind a loving Mother, his kids, a long list of family and close friends. Thanks for the memories and may your art continue to live on forever!

The Gospel of Hip Hop: The First Instrument

The Gospel of Hip Hop: The First Instrument, the first book from the I Am Hip Hop imprint set for launch in Spring 2009, is the philosophical masterwork of KRS-One. Set in the format of the Christian Bible, this 600-plus-page opus is a life-guide manual for members of Hip Hop Kulture that combines classic philosophy with faith and practical knowledge for a fascinating, in-depth exploration of Hip Hop as a life path. Known as “The Teacha,” KRS-One developed his unique outlook as a homeless teen in Brooklyn, New York, engaging his philosophy of self-creation to become one of the most respected emcees in Hip Hop history. Respected as Hip Hop’s true steward, KRS-One painstakingly details the development of the culture and the ways in which we, as “Hiphoppas,” can and should preserve its future.

SP Da Don: She Throwed

I go by the name of Spartacus better known as Sp the Don, I was born and raise in broward county florida in the eighties. Im from a big family middle child from my mother side, Second to last nearly double digits siblings. I went to Ely Highschool and started skipping school with my freinds. so i had to go to nightschool to graduate. Right after I graduate in 2001 I join the army. Not only a street soldier label me a war veteran. Iraq and afghan could'nt bring forward my demise. 

Fresh out the military i got introduce to jail, And from then on it was numorous run in with the law. Rap was the only way i could release my stress till the birth of my daughter. Little did i know my baby mother would be my downfall. Fast Money gave me a chance to persue my goal which is to become the biggest rapper in the industry. Now im into the rap game more than ever. I shot my first video with the "hit" single GOVERNMENT song of my mix tape, The feed back on my tracks is harder then i imagine. Now im here making progress, Waiting on a major deal so i can prove my self, And it wont be a disappointment.

"After hearing this song and it's potent message WHO knows that Swift will be one of Chicago hottest MCs."

Swift Wisdom: "Had to learn the hard way how these bitch ass niggas'll cross you in the long run" and "Watch'em like they on yo' wrist"
