Amazon with the source so it should be legit… LOL YES!

Update: The tracklist is fake. Wow, this is the first time Amazon did that. Now we know something more about Amazon don’t we? I already thought it was strange because DJ Premier told us 2days ago he was trying to get Busta or 50 on the remix so it didn’t happen yet. But then again, I believe Amazon always because they sell shit and can’t afford to do something fake because money is involved… Damn!

One Used Neumann U-87 P 48 Condenser Microphone from The Legendary D&D Studios. This microphone is one of two to be sold in the next month and has been used on countless classic hip hop & pop recordings. Jay-Z, Nas, Biggie Smalls, Gangstarr, and many many more spit some of the best rhymes of our time. This is most definatly a collectors item. To authenticate I am inculding a 3M Visionary award to D&D Studios for the artist Nas on his album Illmatic. I don’t need to tell you the importance of this album in hip hop history. So the Microphone and the plaque are for sale. The microphone is working but a little bit banged up as you can see in the photos. Missing on the mic are the pad & roll off switches. You can use a pen to move on or off. The sale is final. I will ship worldwide but will figure out shipping and insurance after sale.

You can bid here and see more photos here. Starting price is $2000.

btw, it’s not dj premier who’s selling it…

Eminem talks DJ Premier here at 64min.

Bahamadia has announced her upcoming fourth album HERE, dropping in late Summer or Fall. The LP, releasing via her B-Girl Records shingle, will feature a guest appearance from Foreign Exchange and will feature production from UK duo Ty & Drew, as well as several up-and-coming beatsmiths.

“HERE is an offering of quality, purpose driven hip hop music available for consumption to anyone seeking an alternative to what’s currently being exploited,” she told HipHopDX.com. “The entire project I believe showcases my artistic evolution. HERE is intended to be experienced as a collective body of work. Every song included on it is impacting. I opt to allow supporters of my movement to express how my music affects them. The response will vary I am sure.”

In addition to Ty & Drew, the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania rapper is in talks with DJ Premier to lend his production touch to the project. “[I] am currently in discussion with Premier who is just as excited as I to reunite creatively,” said Baha, noting that she’s contemplating a tribute to Guru on the LP. “Am undecided. Maybe, though.”

The album marks her first release since 2006’s Good Rap Music, a delay that she explains is typical. “Since I began creating full-length projects professionally if you’ve noticed there’s usually a 4-5 lapse between each release,” she continued. “During those time lapses I am blessed to tour internationally, evolve artistically, and live my life basically. From a business standpoint did some revamping started my own label B-Girl Records finally.”

In staying true to her organic, jazz-inflected sound, Baha reflected on the current state of hip-hop.

“First and foremost I consider myself to be an eclectic artist. During the time of my official introduction to the industry of music my sound while ‘organic’ in nature was diverse and still is today,” she continued. “The jazz influence was reflective of my musical taste hence direction at one point seemingly more common practice for me because jazz elements complimented cadences being explored. Besides Gang Starr, Tribe, Freestyle Fellowship, The Roots and a few others many facets of incorporating jazz had yet to be implemented in hip hop song format masterfully. The state of hip hop music and culture overall is what it is. I am hopeful the near future will bring about balance as it relates to adequate exposure for ALL practitioners within our global artistic community.”

As for what comes after HERE’s release, she plans on keeping up with her philanthropic work and fleshing out business ideas. “I was created to do music in this life so definitely will be involved with it in some form or another until my time on earth expires,” she stated. “Have become heavily involved in working with disenfranchised youth as well as continuing to hone my entrepreneurial skills through various ventures.”
