“Kosha Dillz, born Rami Matan Even-Esh, is an Israeli American Emcee who has exploded on the scene these past few years, elevating culture into mainstream with raw east coast appeal guerilla tactic stage performance.. A master of Freestyle/improv tactics and versatility, his original career as battle MC/Divsion I Wrestler helped him become a D.I.Y. ambassador, releasing independent projects that have earned him stripes all around the world, from shows with the late Guru of Gangstarr and Roger Daltrey of The Who, to press in Billboard, MTV, Spin and The Los Angeles Times. ”

Kosha’s shows are very energetic, and very fun to watch. You wont regret paying admission. Also playing are Des Moines’ own prettygirlhatemachine, who are steadily gaining momentum within the local scene, looking to enhance their live performance, and express their vision through new, more creative avenues. Touchnice of Maxilla Blue, easily one of the best DJ’s in the state, always bringing forth a jaw-dropping performance on the wheels of steel. And newcomer to the Des Moines scene, Kris Adams. A young talent from Austin, Tx recently relocated to Des Moines and eager to be heard in this city. This will be a fantastic hip hop show, and is only $5 at the door. Come have fun with us!

Hoodies for Humanity. Sat, Jan 22nd at The Mews.

Just a quick reminder about a show we have coming up at The Vaudeville Mews. It’s goin’ down on Saturday, January 22nd at 9 pm. I’m very excited about this one, because we are rockin’ with my favorite two artists in the DMI, Young Tripp, and Maxilla Blue. Also playing is Neon Current who’s starting to build a buzz of their own. And last but not least, Ace (Waterloo, IA). This show will set the tone for hip hop shows in the D in 2011, and honestly will be hard to match all year. Make sure you come out and rock with us.

Peace.

Two years ago Hoodies for Humanity provided one of the hardest rocked hip hop shows of the year for the city of Des Moines, while also providing countless hoodies for Iowa’s homeless youth donated to IHYC. This year, Maxilla Blue along with Richie Daggers of D.C.M return from 2008′s fightcard to beat the wood out of the stage once again, this time accompanied by Young Tripp (D.C.M), Neon Current, prettygirlhatemachine & Ace (Waterloo), all of whom hold a significant foothold in their scene’s movement and approach their craft with a dedication illustrated in each performance, at the expense of the listeners’ necks.

As always, the five dollar admission fee may be substituted with the donation of a clean hoodie in wearable condition. Hoodies collected will be donated to a local charity to benefit the youth and those less fortunate in the winter months… The show is dedicated to progression in one’s local scene, the decimation of wack rap, and the notion of lending a hand to a brother or sister, as you would have them do for you. For us, its always hoodie weather. Come rock in it.

Sorry for the delay.

And they are going to be joining this celebration by releasing it at this show as well!!! Ryan’s birthday is only a few days from Matt’s, so we will also be celebrating his birthday!! So this has turned into a DOUBLE album release/DOUBLE bday party. Also playing will be The Renegades of Sound, and MC Genetics with DJ Blocko!! We are very excited for this event and hope to see everybody out supporting Des Moines hip hop. If any other performers are added or anything changes, I will let you guys know. Thanks in advance!

Insomnia: Progression

Toby Diligent — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 09:38:41 +0000

4:24 am, not able to fall asleep. Probably due to the fact that I didn’t get out of bed until 4 pm yesterday. I had what might have been the worst hangover I’ve ever had and was in bed for 14 hours. On Easter Sunday mind you. Go me! Anyways, haven’t updated in a few weeks, so I thought I’d take some time to do so now. We are 75% done with the production, having 12 of 16 of the instrumentals ready to go. Doug and I have handled all of the production up to this point. But 3 of the remaining 4 beats will feature guest producers. One of them being our dj, J Fresh. We have 1 song completely written, and are about half way through 4 other tracks. This album will also feature 3 guest vocal appearances, which I’m pretty stoked about. 2 of them being from a Des Moines hip hop group that hasn’t been active in years. That track will be fire. We will also be releasing a single from the album on Tuesday, June 29th. It will be available for download for free exclusively on this site. So make sure you cop that! Don’t forget, if you still don’t have our last release, it is available for purchase on this web site through Paypal. As well as at Zzz Records, or through me. Anyways, I’m out. Mad hungry and a couple of egg and cheese sandwiches are calling my name. Check back soon for new content and more updates!

Peace.

Hanging by a Thread

Good evening party people. My counterpart has been filling you in on his half of the progression, and I thought now is a good time to fill you in on mine. Hectic. That’s how you could describe my life right now if you only had one word to do it. Many events and situations are unfolding on a daily basis, and time management is a skill I didn’t pick up on very well. BUT ALAS! I have written some material. I have contributed 7 beat compositions to the album. Things are moving forward. If only I had a mic booth….

We are only voices in your head. Sound waves carried on a frequency that is floating through empty space. So put them headphones on and get ready for a heavy album. Because it’s coming….

Yo.

What’s up world? Not much here, just loungin’ at my apartment listenin’ to the bar across the street bumpin’ some Tone Loc. That’s what’s up. It was a month ago today that I decided to put away drugs, alcohol, and tobacco for a while. I am still going strong and feeling great! I wonder how long this will last? We’ll see. Anyways, things with the album are coming along nicely. And since we are giving ourselves such a ridiculously short amount of time to make this album, they need to be. We have most of the tracks produced, and are steady making beats. I’m in the middle of writing 3 songs right now and am happy with the way things are going so far. Hopefully Douglas is moving at the same rate. We have a few ideas in mind for the album title and should decide on one before too much longer. We will most likely post 2 or 3 of the tracks from the album up for download before the release, so stay tuned for that! We would also love it if you would introduce our music to any of your friends who may not have heard it yet. That would be amazing! More content to come soon…

Hey folks,

Just a brief update. New album will be released on July 17, 2010. We will be playing a show on that day at the Vaudeville Mews to celebrate this release. The disc will be for sale for $7. And it would be fantastic if you came to the show and brought $7 with you. Or just remind me that it’s not worth $7, and I will probably concur and give it to you. Anyways, we’re off to a decent start. Beats coming along nicely, as well as a few song ideas. And fortunately for me, my writing is flowing right along currently. Is this due to the fact that I have put away drugs and alcohol for a month to clear my mind? I can’t call it, probably not. My wallet appreciates it though, as well as probably my lungs and liver. On another note, I am in a strange state of mind right now, and don’t know what to make of it. Too many life changes at once I think. We’ll see how it goes. Anyways, I’m off take care of some bullshit, then hit the studio. Enjoy your Sunday.

‘Til next time friends,

-Matt

Alive and well

Good day people. If you are reading this I wish I could shake your hand. You have come to the right place, you have a home here. New album in the works, little by little the pieces are coming together, the foundation is set and the bricks are stacking to solidify this venture. Hip hop has become just a genre of music. We want to bring it back to an artform, a creative outlet, a way to express yourself. The beat is the canvas, the pen is the paintbrush, the words are the image. If you feel the same way, then we are on the same page and paragraph. Shows soon. New album soon. Freedom without walls- not likely. Word.
