This is an old project I did for a all genre music project. I was chosen for the reggae set and was told that every DJ had 20 minutes. I decided to put a lil blessing at the beginning, some early warm up, & a few big tunes. I slowly picked up the bpm's as I went along all the way to some Dancehall at the end. Enjoy and add the New LionHeart Sound on Facebook. Enjoy!
Ok boys and girls it's time for another segment of "That's hip Hop". Cats are really making this easy on me with all the post. I'm glad someone's amused. lol.

The "Momentum Contest Format" is totally unique because it gives dancers the freedom to choose their own music allowing dancers of different styles to compete on a level playing field.

In these days were the MC has almost become the black sheep of true Hip Hop culture, it's nice to see a veteran still doing it. Not just doing it, but doing it right. Following the blue print and for goodness sakes, actually making sense and sounding coherent. What a nobble concept right? Here you go! Masta Ace for you cats that need to realign your chakras. If you got a million sentences to spit in one line or have a entire self-agenda/thesis to tell the masses - Get out of the game and become a preacher at your local church, or become a professor at a university. No one cares. Only wack cats that don't even follow the Hip Hop culture movement, your blinded friends, and your groupies feel it. Amen to the Pioneers and Veterans that run this game. Salute!

I've had the pleasure of meeting this great Hip Hop legend and Boricua brother. The man is as cool as they come. Articulate, genuine, and humble. For those of you that never heard of him, you probably seen his photos. They cover a very important part in our Hip Hop culture. The documentation of the birth of Hip Hop. One love to you Joe. Keep smiling my brotha. Here's a photo slide show of some of his moments captured on film and the man himself kicking off some jewels. Enjoy!
Also for those of you that have never heard of the man here is a bit of info. Each one teach one...
Back in the 70s, Joe Conzos pictures were part of Hip-Hop. 30 years later, his pictures are part of Hip-Hop history. Born February 6, 1963 and raised on the tough streets of the South Bronx, Joe was definitely at the right place at the right time. Strapped with a camera 24/7 during the late 70's and early 80's, he intimately captured the birth of Hip-Hop music and a culture that would forever change the world.
Having attended school with some of the pillars of Hip-Hop, such as The Cold Crush Brothers, Joe was never too far from a classic shot. He would go on to be the Crushs exclusive photographer and record some of the most candid and exhilarating moments of the pioneering rap group to date. With the help of True School flyer king Buddy Esquire, those photos and many others would soon grace party flyers and event posters and act as the earliest forms of Hip-Hop marketing and promotion.
In addition to the Cold Crush, he documented other legendary Hip-Hop groups like the Treacherous 3, Fearless 4 and Fantastic 5 in famed venues such as The T-Connection, Harlem World, Ecstasy Garage and The Roxy. Many luminaries, like Kool Moe Dee of the Treacherous 3 and Rahiem of the Furious 5 consider Joe to be one of the first Hip-Hop photographers. But Joes photographic contributions to urban culture werent limited to just Hip-Hop. Being the grandson of the late "Hell Lady of the Bronx" Dr. Evelina Antonetty, Joe also documented the political and socio-economic conditions that played a great role in the late 70s, early 80s South Bronx. Joes dad, Joe Conzo Sr. acted as confidant and historian of late "King of Latin Music" Tito Puente. Joe Sr.s unique position allowed his son exclusive access to some of the most influential names in the world of Latin Music. Salsa greats like Hector Lavoe, Tito Puente, Celia Cruz, Johnny Pacheco and Ray Baretto were brilliantly shot by Joe as they shaped the face of Latin Music.
As fate would have it, Joes success and popularity would come to a screeching halt, as Joe unfortunately became a product of the harsh environment in which he shot. During a battle with drug addiction and in search of personal and professional growth, Joe would disappear off the photographic radar for nearly 2 decades.
Today, Joe is a 14-year veteran of the New York City Fire Dept., working as an EMT and rediscovering his love for photography. Joes work has appeared on VH1, featured in a highly acclaimed New York Times article and has appeared in publications such as VIBE, The Source, Hip-Hop Connection (Europe), Urban Hitz (Australia), Esquire and Wax Poetics. His work was also featured in the books Hip Hop Immortals, Yes, Yes, Yall and displayed at the prestigious Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in New York. In addition, Joe and his work are part of a world tour surrounding his highly successful, Born In The Bronx photo retrospective with a book of the same name to follow in 2007. Conzo concedes, Photography has changed so much. No more darkrooms, no more chemicals, nothing but computers and digital cameras. Joe mightve made
way for new technology and advanced hardware, but I guess that aint too bad when youve already made history.
