10 Days to Brooklyn Bodega Festival - Day 5 [Marco Polo & Torae]

More and more, Canada's hip-hop artists are aggressively imposing themselves on the American hip-hop scene. Marco Polo arms himself with not only an impressive selection of beats, but an extensive rolodex, recruiting many of rap's entrenched veterans for his projects. Teamed up with Torae, Brooklyn's own, the duo recently released "Double Barrel" on Duck Down Records. Below is the song "Hold Up," starring Masta Ace and Duck Down labelmate Sean Price. The duo's website is http://www.myspace.com/doublebarrel08.

10 Days to Brooklyn Bodega Festival - Day 3 [Nyle]

I fudged the entry today, got it in late. But the Pittsburgh Penguins are now the STANLEY CUP CHAMPION Pittsburgh Penguins. This lil' cat's excited.

Today's highlight is Nyle, a rookie out of Philadelphia that will be blessing the second stage at Brooklyn Bodega. Like the other two artists we have covered so far, Nyle is smart, and he has drive. A graduate of NYU's revolutionary BFA program in recorded music, Nyle already has two albums out and keeps working. The addition to Get Legs below is his video "Let the Beat Build."
