What goes better than summer, sneakers, and beats? Nothing, in my opinion. Here are the details about the latest jump off from some of Colorado's heaviest hitters. The best part? MY SNEAKERS.

My dude Dj Low Key has just established his reign as the king of summer in the mighty 303... From Tanya Morgan to Dj Day, Exile, and Kid Hum and from this week to the end of July, be sure to catch him at any of the events listed.

For those of you who don't know, Foodchain is a Denver-based collective who is dedicated to bringing fresh hip hop back into the Mile High City.

Here it is! The music video to The Pirate Signal's remix to J-Kwon's "Hood Hop", featuring cameos from Colorado artists FOE (of Jewell Tyme Music) and ManeRok (of the duo ManeLine).

Don't be caught sleepin'!

Stop sleepin' Colorado! We're still here and we got plenty for you in the coming weeks, but lets start it off with the hot-off-the-press news, as we present you with the Westword's Best of Denver 2009 (Hip-Hop Edition)!

If you haven't seen, the Westword dropped their Best of Denver 2009 issue yesterday (Wed, March 25th). Before you get too critical, do know the issue is not based on just 2009 as a year, but is only labeled so due to its drop in 2009...
