The Ellsworth Bumpy Johnson EP

The Infamous Mobb Deep member, Prodigy, has not wasted any of his valuable time since being released from a prison sentence. His dedication to his music and his fans is as persistent as ever. He's released a new EP titled "The Ellsworth Bumpy Johnson Story EP".

Since being incarcerated for three years on gun possession, the Queens, New York emcee has been working hard in the studio. Since his recent release, he's announced a book tour for "My Infamous Life: The Autobiography of Mobb Deep's Prodigy", he's released some tracks, including a shocking one featuring Nas, and he's been in the studio with associates since as early as the first day of his release.

Who exactly is Ellsworth "Bumpy" Johnson?

Born on October 31, 1905 and died on July 7, 1968, Ellsworth Raymond "Bumpy" Johnson, was a mob boss and bookmaker in New York City's Harlem neighborhood. The main Harlem associate of the Genovese crime family, Johnson's criminal career has inspired films and television. Bumpy was the toast of Harlem, and became friends with many Harlem luminaries such as Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, Lena Horne, Billie Holiday, Sugar Ray Robinson. He also became sort of an unofficial crime boss of Harlem; no one could conduct criminal activities in his section of New York without first going through him.

Powered by Complex, the 7-track offering features a guest appearance from Havoc and production from Alchemist, Sid Roams, and King Benny.

DJ M-Rock: The Culture Lingers

Since cassettes now lay six feet beneath earth, turntables on the other hand are still spinning, still making clubs go crazy and still pushing music to a whole other level of creativity.

Introducing M-Rock, a Toronto DJ and a producer, with an outstanding resume. He's received cosigns from some of the best producers of our time such as Just Blaze, Alchemist, Pete Rock, Easy Mo Bee, Keith Shocklee, DJ Neil Armstrong (Jay-Z's DJ) and performing in front of the legendary DJ Premier. He's spun records for celebrity clients such as Shaquille O‘ Neal, Drake and fashion designer Marc Ecko.

Miami‘s Winter Music Conference has asked him to host his own panel on his invention ‘Digital Juggling’ which is a style of Jing that fuses turntablism and pianist-style keystrokes on the laptop. 1.83 million viewers heard his opening music on the Juno Awards (the Canadian Grammy’s). After hearing the revolutionary Michael Jackson had passed away, M-Rock immediately re-composed and remixed 8 MJ tracks in the same week, receiving play from DJs in cities like New York, London, Goa, Melbourne, Barcelona, Athens and multiple other locations.

"It took me 3 weeks, probably between 100 – 200 hours to get it right (I’m picky). I really went deep in to give music fans something articulate: scratches, digital juggles, lots of blends, studio edits and tricks. If you play it on an iPod or in iTunes, the tracks are all chapters and there’s a pic for every chapter representing the song. I’d like people to rate this among the best tapes ever, but you guys be the judge, diss it, love it, hate it, whatever, let me know what you think." - M-Rock
