Damn, yall...Our bad. We ain't forget yall....Sh*t's just been dumb busy. That's good though, no?

Looks like we got a game of catch-up to set off.
Let's get down to the nitty-gritty of 'tings, shall we?

We were gonna hold off for a full update after this upcoming weekend, but then cats realised it's been almost a month with no news added. That's the wack, I'm surprised certain cats ain't hit we up asking IF? the site was dead like that...then again, do they still read this joint? I have no clue, so just in case, here's some read-ables:

Last we left you, cats put yall onto the Phoenix Music Poll nomination, which to we, is good enough. About time said nominations reflected the presently active communidad de Hip Hop en Rhode Island/Southeastern Mass. Big ups to all those in consideration, as far as we're concerned, there are no losers when people we never heard of aren't on the ballot (Lorna Doom, what? Who the hell is that?). IF? you voted for we, good lookin out, but I'm pretty sure we're the John Kerry's of the competition.

After a quick trip out West(ern Mass), our potnas over at newly re-named A.R.C.lassic Records laced Esh & DJ AlBums with a performance opportunity in Boston at the Lizard Lounge, in which famalams Romen Rok tagged along to show face with the traveling team. Meanwhile, deep in the state of Connecticut, CasUno ran with fams PDP to bring forth a first ever night of Labeless Illtelligence in two places at the same time!!! Monumental, this is. Big ups to the AntFarm Affiliates of Danbury/Waterbury, CT who will be rocking alongside we this upcoming weekend at the Poorly Drawn People "Shoot For The Stars, Hit The Ceiling" release party. This show will also feature the stylings of The ProblemAddicts of Western Mass and the newly refined Conscious Insanity that now just consists of Axe Butane and DJ Janks...Check the events page while the listing is still there, the show is THIS SATURDAY YALL!!!!!!

Basement Flavor & 401 Hip Hop held an MC Battle Royal (of sorts) this past Sunday in which CasUno, Mortal, & Storm Davis hosted whilst CasUno, Storm Davis, and DJ AlBums judged...The Deck Bros. of 90.3 fame laced the soundscape for the competitors to rock over. I'll just leave it like this...the comedic value of this ish was well worth the tiredness extra Monday morning at work...Big ups to the winner? Yall were all some winners that night, man, lemme tell you...

In other news, April is supposed to be the month "Hokey Religions & Ancient Weapons (Are No Match For a Good Blaster)" gets released via our Canadian fams Hand'Solo Records. Here's a snippet featuring Big Minister Ref, enjoy.

Sorry for the delay on the information relay via the information highway....Whatever with the tryin to sound cleaver...Hey!!! We stay more updated over at the Blog Spidot as of late, so don't forget to check we there....Other than that....

Peace and Respect...Everytime!!!

The powers that be over at The Providence Phoenix have nominated Labeless Illtelligence for 2008 Best Hip Hop Act (performing) in their Music Poll along with a slew of familiar faces, IF? you feel that way too, Vote: HERE

Hello.
How yall doin' out there? Riiiiiight. Haha...

Last Thursday was quite an entertaining train wreck. I mean, we used to be heavily involved in trying to provide our locale with action packed bills as much as possible when move making with Basement Flavor, but it seems the aftermath from said time period shows no sign of the discipline and organizational methodology from way back when. Conscious Insanity (Axe Butane, SensOne, and Janks "da" Rezolution) did their best in trying to bring forth a night of hip hop, showcasing far too many indy hop supertars from near and afar. So much that by the time the headliners/show throwers got to take the stage, the lights came on and people were ushered out (and that's after the two acts previous to them, PDP and we, cut sets short to make time for them to at least get a mic check in front of the "crowd")...I'm sorry fellas, but IF? you are gonna persist on throwing shows as a means to get some face time, make sure you take a practical approach in doing so...This show was a clusterf*ck IF? I've ever seen one. It would seem they did their networking best to ensure a successfull evening and a more successfull showing comprised of any and everyone by way of what any of the acts coulda drawn in....Didn't work though.

I was even asked by a member of Conscious Insanity IF? I had done any form of promotion for said show, in which I let homeboy know that I laced the same outlets I always do when shows are about to jump off, but...Really, this is YOUR show, not ours, we don't throw shows, we're doing what a lot of indy/local super heros don't do, and that's perform on demand. Say what you will of we, but we, #1 are dependable in keeping our word, showing up, and giving it the 'ole post collegiate try...#2, have performed countless shows all over our New England nook by way of request from those throwing said shows...IF? you gotta throw ya own shows to get shine, you might wanna rethink whatever it is you think you're doing...Further more, that's no reflection on my man Axe Buterol, cause we're still trying to figuire out why he chooses to run with who he chooses to run with after his peers have expressed to him that he might not be keeping the best company in the world in order to escalate....By the way, Janks, thanks for the daps and the refusal to look Esh or myself in the eye when doing so. You should watch who you ask to be "a part" of ya shin digs when drunk and basking in good times we provide, lawd knows the Phoenix listing did NOT have our names on the bill and it couldn't have been more apparant that you weren't having a good time nor wanted us to follow through with your request in we showing up ready to rock....

On a brighter note, big ups to The ProblemAddicts whom I was blessed enough to build with during this catastrophic event, big ups to Poorly Drawn of course (holding down the merch table), Need Not (enough with the candy bro, ya rotting everyone's teeth already! ha!), all the alcohol Rock Solid ingested resulting in one bad night for he, Serato and how it likes to make us look foolish in public (nice try anyhow, we're already foolish), the drunk, bearded heckler whom Esh put in his place, Minister Ref's breakdancing on that hardwood stage of the Living Room, me for only downing 3 beers as to stay responsible with mine, Chachi's parenting advice, Swerv's deciding to drink and be merry, THE best set I ever seen from Spit Personalitys, and all the area crews that came out to showcase hip hop on a thirsty ass Thursday....And to the front row. Yall were gracious. Peace to Cev, Wise, JT, and my main man Ro for the support.

Intox-I-Rox Solid "Stink Talk" is now available for download via this site (for free) in the store section...."Have some" and while ya at it, buy something you cheap f*cks...haha....

Speaking of "Stink Talk", Urbnet.com laced us with a review outta no where on some 3.5 stars outta 5 ish....Here's how it went down:

"Originally planned as a bonus disc for the new Rock Solid album, this collaboration project between Rock (as producer) and IF? frontman CasUno (as emcee) instead finds itself released as a free to download EP (available from www.siqtorrents.com). With 12 tracks in just over 18 minutes, Stink Talk is a collection of obviously short songs composed of single verse tracks and instrumental interludes, the latter all bearing the title “Intox-I-Rox-Stramental.” The exceptions to the one verse rule are the three songs with guest appearances from regular contributors likes Missing Ellaments, AmsUno, Esh the Monolith and Dirty Ice. They each add their own flavour to the intoxicated talk of booze, blunts and bravado; but this being CasUno's party, his aggressive, off-kilter flow rushes to fit in everything he needs to say, while Rock Solid's muddy, base-heavy production is a perfect match to fill out the festivities. The highlights at this party are CasUno's “Trashish'ed Speech” and the group discussion “Live From the Hall of Justice.” Unfortunately, it all ends too damn soon."

So our fams Hand'Solo Records are at it again, attempting to release a remix project of some sort. We submitted Esh's "Anti Cymbal Monkey Movement" which showcases the assistance of CasUno from Esh's coming soon debut for remixing and to be honest yo, DJ Planit aka Professor Mandrate aka Dirty Sample from the great country of Canada cold killed it yo!!! Not too much details concerning this release as of yet, but you know we'll keep yall posted as said info gets into our hands...

Speaking of "The A.D.D.ventures of an E.ccentric S.uper H.ero", this f*ckin' project is banana-ramas and is in in it's final lap of creation before we unleash it unto the world. Seriously. I can't front on how flawless the whole jawn is, really. I refuse to give time tables for indy releases, but I bet ya bottom dollar it will see the light of day before the weather is hot and unbearable.

IF? ya out in Western Mass (Great Barrington to be exact) this Friday come check we rock shocking alongside our Grade A Productions fams (Boston) Vice Versah and Waters at Bogies. Details on the events page.

I dreaded having to write alla this, but it beats me waiting even longer and having even more to write. Hopefully we can keep the infokill, music, and performance side of sh*t coming at yall...

IF? not, it's everyone else's fault!!! Hahaha.... Mad people blame others for their own misery...Stop that...30 isn't the new 20, it's f*ckin 30. Grow up.

peace.

Today, we bring forth Intox-I-Rox Solid "Stink Talk", a project put together a month or so before I got married using the many beats Rock Solid has donated to my lyricism over the past 9 or 10 years.....See, most cats just trash it and forget about it, me, I keep every damn disc that has been given to me by anyone nice enough to lace me like that....Obviously the anxiety of getting married is more than enough to bury the most tough of all men alive, so what I did in calming myself down was writing and recording over the person who laced me the most's beats rather than allow them to rott in obscurity (like so many "MCs" do).....

This project serves as the anthem to gettin' ya trashed on....Beyond Crunky Brewster with yours even....No more talk, Rock Solid on the beats, CasUno & friends on the M-I....Missing Ellaments recorded the whole thing at his beloved Melodic Voice Box Recordings (IF? that's what he still calls it) and Gibran came through with the intense clean up of the entire project.....Without any further a do, my download nerds, allow we to present to yall, "Stink Talk":

peace, love, unity, & having fun.

I feel there is an explanation needed, without going into contravercial or incriminating detail, I will do my best to explain the "why's & what's" pertaining to the apparant stagnant existance of Labeless Illtelligence as a whole....

Don't worry, don't worry....I'm not gonna take the stereotypical route of bashing or blaming others for our current stuck-in-the-mud state of existance. Ultimately, it is my fault in entrusting and leaving responsibility in the hands of those who have never been as passionate and enthusiastic as my communal and inclusive methodology in making things work. I think I've played the ignorant role for far too long in convincing myself (and unfortunately you out there) that our aspirations are anything remotely close to a well oiled machine.

First off; there's no secret, members of our "team" have jumped ship in hopes of further spreading their musical wings toward angles they feel will get them to a better, higher plateau. The entire occurance was unexpected, confusing, discouraging, and otherwise unofficial and I personally apologize to those who have received our booking requests, press releases, and any other form of infokill provision that made things seem as IF? I (we) still spoke on behalf of those we have little to no affiliation with. I wish yall the best of luck even IF? you wish me the opposite. Any and all inquiries pertaining to Missing Ellaments, AmsUno, DJ Orator, and Vocab can be made through whatever means exist in communicating with them (myspace maybe?).

I will be the first to admit that 2007 was an equally bad year as 2003 for we in accordance to releasing purchasable product; with the exception of the new skool Labeless t shirts brought to life hybrid style by the fusion of artwork submitted by Nysto and SwervOne. I've already apologized to Swerv in person, but just to re-iterate I sincerely apologize for taking yalls artwork and making it into something you didn't initial intend for it to be. I hope you will understand that it took a lot more effort and energy than necessary in getting said image(s) into the capacity in which I so desired.

Unfortunately, I cannot do the same in ensuring product and projects mentioned in earlier updates in getting to yall, the supporter/fan/appreciative enthusiast. Vocab has an entire project that I have no faith in ever seeing the light of day, and that to me, is horrible, fore that project has been in a finished state for a very, very long time now. It truly is a let down to watch Vocab's works sit around collecting dust when there are people out there that would wish to own it and/or be blessed by it. For the record, Vocab holds no weight in any decisions involving the inclusion, or lack therefore of, in accordance to Labeless Illtelligence as a business. Due to his artist only existance, his dissassociation is only due to his affiliation with those who have chosen to go elsewhere with their musical direction.

In that same setiment, I hold myself completely responsible for the product that I have my name directly affiliated with not getting to yall. It is my fault and my inability to be directly involved with the process of getting you finalized product, in that I no longer have the time to work alongside the party (parties) involved in preparing projects for manufacturing and overall presentation. I've left far too much responsibility in the hands of those who might not truly want that responsibility even when those people insist that it's all good and that's what they want to be dealing with. I feel that preparing said product has become a bludgening burden upon them and my overly insistant demand for excellence and actuality is most likely the driving force behind these things NOT getting done.

This website looks and feels exactly like it did when it was first blessed to us by Basement Flavor. Evoked Element designed it and Mortal and company helped make sure it ran. As you can see, after multiple absenses of the site's actual existance, nothing's changed and with every passing day that I don't help Basement Flavor or 401HipHop.com advance, this site will surely suffer, even though I just coughed up the cash to make all the aforementioned sites come back to life. Again, this is due to my delusional state of seeing the world as I choose, and I apologize to all parties involved in allowing we to exist virtually for being a constant thorn in the finger in trying to move forward, forgetting that you too wish to move forward.

Where does that leave us? Well, I can guarantee you this site will not exist forever and that's why I've chosen to stop adhering to my delusional state of being and come clean about everything that has assisted in making something (that could have been) so great, so stagnant for far too long....Ultimately, it is my fault in not dealing with my own sh!t and ensuring that the ideological existance of Labeless Illtelligence kept up with it's actual existance. For that, to whomever requires an apology, I truly am sorry.

Is there a sloution? I sure hope so...hahaha....For now yall can snack on: Fabel-Less Relevance and the Labeless Myspace Page for any and all infokill pertaining to our present and future musical meandering seeing I have no idea how long this web site situation is going to stay existant. I will continue to use this site's outlet until it disappears....

E mail me with your death threats, gripes, complaints, etc:
CasUno

No peace, no justice....just us.....and to some, that's not good enough.
