Thanks to the hard work of both hip-hop pioneers and young upstarts throughout D.C., Maryland, and Virginia, the DMV is now officially on the map. It’s also in the dictionary. The Urban Dictionary—but still.
Most regions with thriving hip-hop scenes have catchy nicknames, but before the whole DMV acronym caught on in the mid-aughts, the greater nation’s capital lacked one. Chocolate City, popularized decades ago, was starting to get a little moldy, and it ignores both the all-important suburbs and the fact that D.C. is becoming more cream-filled by the day. There have been valiant efforts to make “The Middle East” (for middle East Coast, get it?) stick, but it didn’t happen. Ditto for “Tri-State,” which failed not only because it’s already taken but because, technically, only two states are involved.
So where’d the acronym come from? In an informal poll of area hip-hop luminaries—from Judah to Kokayi, Head-Roc to Overok—the same three names came up over and over: Wale, DJ Rob AKA Mista DMV, and 20Bello.

The sound of the base pulsated throughout the stadium as thousands of hands bopped in the air to the beat of the music and the smooth flow of the emcee. His words traveled through the crowd engulfing their minds and spirits with a feeling only real Hip-Hop music could compose. Flash! The camera saves this moment forever.
Along a dimly lit red brick wall in a tiny Ethiopian eatery on D.C.’s colorful U Street hangs this image. It is rested beside other snapshots featuring Hip-Hop and street culture in a more artistic light. “Can’t Stop Won’t F-Stop” is the first of its kind—bringing this culture to the people in the form of photography. For an entire month, Dahlak Restaurant will host images of D.C. hip-hop artists, DJs, producers and more.
“Can’t Stop, Won’t F-Stop” showcases the raw and real side of the hip-hop game, through the eyes of, who Inner Loop refers to as, Lens Warriors.

September 12th, 2009, the images on the walls of Dahlak Restaurant & Bar, located at 1771 U Street NW Washington DC, were DMV music artists in action.
Inner Loop Records on-staff photographer and ”Can’t Stop, Won’t f/Stop” event curator, Chapi D, called on area photographers: Overok, Seannie Cameras, Q. Ledbetter, Lady Glock, David Fahrali, LaVan Anderson and Gabi Brutus, to exhibit their shots of DMV music artists. He explained that, “With so much going on in the music scene, it would only be right to showcase the talent through a different medium.” The displayed images of DMV music artists K-Beta, XO, DJ Alizay, Ra The MC, Judah, DJ ID, Phil Ade, Lyriciss, Laelo Hood, The Paxton’s and others, express just as much about the artist’s as your favorite clip on YouTube.

The solSource Group and Historical Society of Washington, D.C. present
HIP HOP CINEMA CAFE
Deep Crates Saturday, May 16 2009 2:00 PM FREE @ Historical Society of DC
Deep Crates is the kind of film that has been overdue for so long. A seventy minute documentary on the history of crate digging for samples and beats from the late seventies to now. Interviewed artists include Diamond D, Madlib, Lord Finesse, Maseo, Peanut Butter Wolf and Egon, Buckwild and the Soulman amongst many more. Inspiring stories about how the scene started - basically the foundation blocks of the old school rap movement. The unbridled joy at finding that rare gem and the twisted politics that went along with with the oneupmanship. The stories flow deep and hard like an extended Wax Poetic feature on film - no less. Hear how these producers got heat - the rivalries, the respect and the love - crackly vinyl obsession, a trait that many are infected with. This film is the hip hop joint to see - hilarious, insightful, wise and inspiring. |
"The monthly Hip-Hop Cinema Café is a great way to enjoy hip-hop and film at the same time in D.C., but if you want to participate fully in these screenings, you should first familiarize yourself with a few canonical movies. Sure, you can show up, watch, and bounce, but often the best part of this event is the talk afterward, which typically includes a roundtable of D.C.-based arts luminaries."

What happens when you bring the sounds of Hip-Hop's Top 5 MCs together with one of Rock's Top 5 Bands and mix it all up with one of the mixtape game's most creative djs? DJ Dub & TheOvun.com present "J-A-D-A KISS" and the end result is geared to be one of the year's best mixtape offerings.
DJ Dub has fused the lyrical juggenaut Jadakiss with the sound of Rock's ultimate power bands, Kiss. Enlisting the help of producers DJ Rob Dinero, Marc Nfinite, Overok, Shag Diggler, Cynrok, and Super Hero, Dub brings out the energy of his idea. Dub said, "I've been thinking about doing this for a minute but I knew I was going to need other angles on (Kiss) music so I reached out and got back nothing but gold."
While some might expect Jadakiss's raspy tone to be fighting against the loud fracas of guitar solos and wailing vocals, thats far from the case on this project. This Remixtape is made to highlight the lyrical prowess of Jada and legendary musicality of Kiss. Dub is no stranger to concepts such as this with past projects including CRS (Kanye, Pharell & Lupe), Heavy Metal (Ghostface & MF Doom) so of course, Dub executed this with no problem.
Shipping March 23rd, J-A-D-A KISS will be in your box for a while...
The Last Kiss in stores April 7th...
