Hip Hop Worldwide Nation Tour 2: Russia is scheduled to hold one of the biggest hip-hop concerts ever on Sunday, December 1, 2002 at Moscow’s Center On Tulskaya. Already 5000 tickets have been sold, with Wu-Tangers Cappadonna and Remedy set to make their first Russian concert appearance.

Additionally, on Wednesday, November 20 in New York, Remedy, Capadonna, Black Rob and G Dep are going to perform at the Hip-Hop Worldwide Consortium concert taking place at Peppers at 95 Leonard St. (Broadway and Church) from 3:00pm - 6:00pm.

The Moongod Allah/Bronze Nazareth CD still has 3 tracks to be recorded. It will drop after the "All Star Collection Box".

Sandbox Automatic still have copies of "Terra Iz Him". You'll have a lot more luck getting it from these guys than you will with "Nepalm" Rip-Offs.

2. Lil Mama - Born
3. Stop - Naisher (of M.M.O.)
4. Be Quiet - N-Tyce
5. Get Live - Shells/40 Glocc/Champ/Littles/Riggamortis
6. I'm Here - Riggamortis

8. Take Me Away - Madame Scheez/Ill Knob/J-Boo/N-Tyce
9. You Know - Daz/Badazz/40 Glocc

As you can see, not all of the artists are signed to "Rocks The World". The CD is also available from Tower Records, by special order.

The "Catechism" vinyls I was talking about yesterday are indeed called "Catechism #1" and "Catechism #2" - the cover art says so. The "Nerramine" vinyl has been listed at http://www.gemm.com. But there's reportedly a few versions of this, so look for the "Wu-Tang Mix" beforehand. I haven't checked it for myself 'cause I don't buy vinyls.

Seems to be a lot of secrecy with album releases these days. Here's some more new material I've only just been made aware of:

The first is a compilation from "Rocks The World Records" called "Rocks The World MC's". It's listed at CDnow but can only be backordered which may take up to 4 weeks. Details are very sketchy, I have no idea of the tracklisting or what the cover art looks like. Confirmed featured artists are M.M.O., KGB, and Deadly Venoms. Release Date was October 29, 2002 - so it's very recent.

The DJ Spooky/Killah Priest "Catechism" LP has more than one version, and at least one of which is in CD format. The one I gave in my last update was for the CD version. This one was released by the "Synch" label and is apparently available from CDnow, Tower Records, and Sandbox Automatic etc...

Sandbox Automatic also has a vinyl version - which for the sake of argument I'll call "Catechism #2" - but there's also a "Catechism #1" on vinyl. These have all the mixes from the CD version plus instrumentals. The vinyl versions were releases by the "Blue Juice" label and you can see the cover art for both editions and the complete tracklistings on their hompage www.blue-juice.com.

Other vinyl releases which escaped attention were these ones (which seemed to have been released in the UK some time ago):

Method Man - "Three Amigos"
Label: Relentless Entertainment/Stargate Entertainment
catalog: RRL020T
Notes: Originally released on "Wu-Chronicles II"
A1. Raw Street Edit
B1. Radio Edit

Genaside II f/ DJ Mathematics, Killerman Archer & Sharon Williams - "Narramine"
Label: Internal Records
Catalog: LIARX 33
Notes: Originally released on the LP "Narramine"
A1. Original Mix
B1. Wu-Tang Clan Remix

Dino Lenny f/ Sunz Of Man & The RZA - "Barbed Wire"
Label: Incentive/Wu-International
Catalog: **none printed on label**
Notes: Apparently the first release from Wu-International
A1. Original Mix (Dirty Version)
B1. Live in Gozo Mix (Clean Version)

The last one seems a little suspect but then again I don't exactly follow vinyl releases. Not sure where you can get them nowadays, but they were listed on eBay at one stage.

Here's some Wu LP's I've been made aware of. The first is a VINYL only LP:

2. CATECHISM (PART 2S NEW FLESH REMIX)*
3. CATECHISM (MEX BLACK GRASS REMIX)*
4. CATECHISM (FT. MCD 2ICE) (DECKWRECKA REMIX VOCAL)*
5. CATECHISM (DECKWRECKA REMIX INSTRUMENTAL)

7. CATECHISM (RUNAWAYS WARD 29 REMIX INSTRUMENTAL)
8. CATECHISM (FT. MCD 2ICE) (DECKWRECKA ACAPELLA)
9. CATECHISM (UNREALS REMIX)*

You can buy this pretty much anywhere. CDnow has it listed at this link. Release Date:September 17, Label: Synch.

The second is by Master Fuol (now spelt "Master Fool"):

MASTER FOOL "BROWNSVILLE KID" LP
1. THE DISCOVERY (INTERLUDE)
2. EPIDOME RAW ANIMAL MAGNATISM
3. WHO THE CLOWN
4. WING WORM (FT. OL DIRTY BASTARD) (AKA LAST CALL)
5. THE EXAMINATION (INTERLUDE)
6. MASTER FOOL (FT. KOKANE)
7. BROWNSVILLE N.Y. (FT. ROSCOE)
8. YOLANDA (FT. UNCLE PETE)
9. BITCH AIN'T NOTHIN
10. RAP EPIDEMIC
11. IT'S ON
12. THE HUNT BEGINS
13. EL FUEGO
14. DRUNK FIST
15. DON'T WORR BOUT
16. BROWNSVILLE KID
17. THE STEAK OUT (INTERLUDE)
18. WALK THE WALK, SPIT THE SPIT (FT. THISTIN HOWL III & UNIQUE LONDON)

This one's available at selected places only. Sandbox Automatic has it listed for $13 and Hip Hop Site has it listed for $15. But unless you're American or very very rich, you might as well forget it because the shipping cost they ask for is rediculous ($25 US to ship one CD to Australia!!!). Label: Skillionaire Entertainment.

Albums: Brownsville Kid, Albums: Death's Birth: The Grip of Behemoths, Review: Poisonous Poets, Murderous Melodies
