What's Upper?  RAP ATTACK remembers Dr Martin Luther King Jr. (R.I.P.)

Thousands believed dead in Haiti. There was still no tally of how many had been killed in the earthquake, which had an estimated magnitude of 7.0, but as
rescue workers struggled to reach survivors, thousands of people were believed to be dead. Please help. Text 'HAITI" to 90999 & $10.00 will go directly to Red Cross...

Teddy Pendergrass, who became R&B's reigning sex symbol in the 1970s and '80s with his forceful, masculine voice and passionate love
ballads and later became an inspirational figure after suffering a devastating car accident that left him paralyzed, died Wednesday at age 59. (R.I.P.)...

Jessica Weber, formerly of SPECTRE Music has started her own company. Here's the lowdown from Jessica. "The abbreviated version of this story is that at the end of last year my former boss Dave decided to shut down SPECTRE Entertainment Group and start a new company called Distiller Promo. Instead of making the move to his new company, I chose to start my own agency. We'll still be working together on projects here and there in the future, but with SPECTRE closing its doors it felt like it was time for me to step out on my own.That being said, I'm very excited about the move, and to introduce you all to my new company, Co-Sign. The heart of the company will be the services I've always provided, including radio promotion, licensing, etc, but as the company evolves I hope to include outsourced services including press, web design, photography, digital distribution, event co-ordination and more. That being said, I'm very excited about the move, and what else can I say...big things for 2010 y'all! - NEW EMAIL & save this email: jessica@co-signcollective.com  is my new contact info," says Jessica Weber...

WHAT'S BLAZIN' WITH BLAZE WONG? by: BLAZE WONG:

Happy New Year all! I have been trying to figure out how to tell all my colleagues, friends and family the following but know I have to do it sooner or later. After 10 long years at Cornerstone Promotion from ground up, my last days are coming up as I will be resigning from my post as National Manager of Urban/Rhythm Radio Promotion. It has been a privilege to have worked with some of the industry's finest artists, label heads as well as other corporate clients in the past years! I will be continuing on to assist long time friend/colleague, Brian Gaffey to start UNbassadors Entertainment Group (UEG) and will be delegating business with new clients as well as some familiar ones. If there are any questions or if you just want to drop a line for more information, you are more than welcome to reach out to the information provided below.

So let's make this a new year's meal as we exit off one road and begin a journey on another with our Triple Freshness picks for the week!

1. Rhymefest f. Little Brother "HOW HIGH" DN Entertainment / Rosehip / EMI

2. Snoop Dogg "I WANNA ROCK" Capitol Records

3. Rakim f. Maino "WALK THESE STREETS" Ra Records / SMC Records / Tuscan Villa

Rap Attack takes a "WHAT'S UPPER" look this week with:

DJ Luicidal (KSJS-San Jose): "We are back at it again for another year. Aside from earthquakes, there is a lot of positive things going on here at the station and in San Jose. Many great artists are pushing hard for the 2010 and a lot of dope music is being made. I have been reaching out to many people online to expand the horizons of the station's sound. Please feel free to hit me up with any new music, questions, or inquiries as I am trying to touch basis with everyone and establish a strong presence for the year"...

Jason-D (RadioBoise.org): "Happy New Year to all and welcome to 2010! I hope your holidays were as restful as mine. We kept busy on the show collecting and editing new music, spent time with the family, and enjoyed watching Boise State win the Fiesta Bowl with an undefeated season. Thanks to everyone who sent me good music in 2009!"...

Nate Abney (WKDU-Philly): "A new year and a lot to look forward too. Happy New Year to everyone and I hope all will be blessed throughout. My condolences to all in Haiti dealing with the earthquake. I will continue to pray for you. Back at again debuting my top 40 and it's on that's all I can say. My Birds got crushed so I guess there is always next year. Oh well on to the Flyers and Sixers(ouch). Till next week"...
 

DJ Sage (CFRO-Vancouver BC): "We decided to skip the Double Shot to get right into the madness that is the URP's opening mix! Tons of goodness though, so don't get emotional about the phantom Double Shot. It'll be back next week!

Vancity's own Global Syndicate rolled through the studio to let the people know what's up with Vancouver's best kept secret. The collective is no joke and will be opening for the legendary Raekwon the Chef on his upcoming Canadian tour. Keep an eye out for them because they are doing big things! Hit them up on MySpace at: www.MySpace.com/WritePathEnt.

Big props go out to Emotionz for holding down the longest running Hip-Hop night in Vancouver. Unfortunately, Monday Night Live will be
coming to a conclusion at the end of February. Emotionz will still be rocking the back room of Shine with Dubstep every Wednesday though, so he won't be too far. Congratulations go out to him on running MNL very well and best of luck to him in the future!

Check out the podcast on www.UrbanRenewalProject.net later tonight, so we can bless your speakers with the goodness! Tons of Canadian content, Queensbridge, Busta Rhymes, Rich Kidd and many more!"...
 

Kazzeo (KHDC-CA): "Well here go again. 2010 and it's time to get back in the game. And a lot has sure happened in the last month.
Charlie Sheen acted like an idiot (again) and tried to slice his wife. Tiger Woods self destructed faster than the voice from Mission Impossible. And my Raiders ended their season the same way they started it, with bitch ass Jamarcus Russell leading us to defeat. Seriously, Al Davis needs to finally bite the bullet and trade this waste of bench space.
NBC completely screwed Conan O'Brien. Hope he gets another shot on another network. But I'm still a Letterman fan so who cares.
And the news reports are true. I will be in Vegas this weekend celebrating my birthday. So if anyone else is in the 702, reach out. I'll gladly welcome drinks, meals, and lap dances (from females obviously). Be ready for pics, stories, and youtube videos next week. LET'S GO!!!!"...
 

Kevin Sakoda (KSPC-CA): "Hope everyone's doing well. If you're not in the LA-area, you can catch the show live (via iTunes) every Saturday, 5-7PM (west-coast time): http://www.kspc.org/popup.html  You can also find archived playlists and download links 24/7: http://blogs.myspace.com/kevsakoda
