Welcome to another episode of the Hip Hop War Report. Today's episode features interviews JR, the Minister of Information, from the Block Report.  JR interviews Flava Flav and Chuck D. from the world renowned hip hop group, "Public Enemy".  JR and Flava Flav discuss the legacy of "Public Enemy", as well as Stanley "Tookie" Williams and Flav's reality show.
The second segment features our independent artists spotlight.  Today's spotlight will feature Brooklyn's own DaDa the Golden Child.  This interview will be conducted by Akir.  In this interview Akir and Golden Child discuss the collaborative effort known as The Reavers.  The Reavers is a group comprised of eleven independent hip-hop artists from across the nation.  The Reavers' album is an incredible effort boasting many great names such as:  Golden Child, Hasan Salaam, Akir, Billy Woods, Karniege, Keith Masters and Priviledge, just to name a few.
The Reavers first single is entitled "The Slums"and was produced by Golden Child.  "The Slums" is a recording reality that delves into the lives of people in the hood.  The emcees performing on this song express their views, good and bad, about the places where we dwell.  "The Slums" communicates how the people in the hood fight back.  The creative lyricism displayed on "The Slums" illustrates how the poor neighborhoods and projects were designed as traps.  These traps keep people contained in a distressed state and fighting amongst themselves despite what the media may tell us.  We highly recommend The Reavers' album "Terror Firma".
They go on to discuss DaDa the Golden Child's hip-hop/reggae band "Plan B".  Akir and Golden Child talk about how progressive hip-hop is becoming as it pertains to the live show.  Golden Child also discusses the Original Sessions' Band Showcase, in which Plan B is currently involved.  We are also pleased to announce that Golden Child will be a new correspondent for the Hip Hop War Report.
Finally, this episode concludes with an interview between JR and Chuck D, in which they discuss independent labels and freelance media.  Chuck D expresses his opinion on the record industry vs. the music business.
