TRAILS and a happy birthday to Cam Groves & OD!

Cam Groves & Syn Tha Shaman

This week we were fortunate to have both members of Trails in the studio, producer theLin aka The Fat Giraffe and emcee Syn Tha Shaman aka Too Many Names to aka.  In addition two birthday boys, Cam Groves & OD, stopped through to catch us up on their latest moves in the hip hop scene.  Cam even brought us an exclusive track that will be on his next album Groveinistic.  In usual Appleton fashion we totally forgot to take a picture at the end of the night but fortunately Cam brought the always working Ryan (@pdankllc on twitter)  and I was able to steal the posted shot from him.  This show was truly a pregame for Rap Night, all three artists on the show performed at The Big Easy later that night. It seems like every time we get Syn in the studio we dig a little extra deep in the archives to try and bring your ear drums some deep history in 207 hip hop.  This show was no exception so check out the podcast below to hear some of the newest and oldest tracks in Maine Hip Hop!

It’s All About the Music (and a cypher!)

Ryan Augustus, OD, Ill By Instinct, MC22 & Kyle Bryant

This week’s show speaks for itself because it’s all about our primary mission: bring you new and good Maine Hip Hop. In addition to the playlist a few emcees (above) stopped by before rap night to lay down another legendary Appleton Radio Cypher. Check the podcast below!

We Hate Rappers with Jonny October & PackFM!

The podcast this week features Jonny October & PackFM! The sick thing is we had no idea PackFM was even coming on so when you listen to the beginning of the show we only are talking about Johnny October. If you’re a fan of PackFM you get the title of this article and if you aren’t a fan then you should listen to this show! We set the world record for most people in and around the studio last night including past guests J Jack, J Caron, Kristina Kentigian, Ill By Instinct and MC 22. Jonny October & Pack FM were also accompanied by DJ Mo Niklz and The Left Hand who we didn’t get to speak with during the show. Check out the podcast below for interviews and exclusive material from both our Brooklyn based guests.

Watch for brand new hot off the press type 207 tracks during the first hour of the show where we do what we do best, play Maine Hip Hop!

Ill By Instinct – Room to Breathe

As we close out 2011 we wanted to make a permanent page for Appleton’s good friend, Sandbag member, Ill By Instinct’s new video. The track is called Room To Breathe and the video represents a lot of the same things we are trying promote here at Appleton. The local hip hop movement! Pay close attention to the t shirts displayed in the video and stay tuned to The Appleton Radio show to hear sneak previews and more from IBI’s next release: Second Wind.

Digging Up The Embedded Emcee’s

Ladies and gentlemen we have one simple message to spread to the Maine Hip Hop community after last night’s show: The Embedded Emcee’s need beats!! Last night Josh Harps aka Doc Joshua, who has been on the show before, came through with fellow Embedded member Poir to give us an update on their journey to create music. You probably have heard Embedded on Appleton before and it’s likely you have seen them perform at a local show. If either is the case then you realize that this duo prides themselves on original beats and real lyricism. Check out the podcast where we get to give you a brief history lesson of The Embedded Emcees and find out exactly why they didn’t have any new material to bring to the show!

Hear that interview plus take a trip into the Appleton vaults to play some new and old 207 material. Check out the end of the show where we close it out with a brand new track by Milled Pavement performer/producer C Money Burns featuring Mynd Wun. If you are into Milled Pavement then be on the lookout for a new nomar slevik track as well as some old label gems buried into the show’s playlist. You know we rep that local flavor!

Full House Holiday & the Return of the W

Wu Tang (minus Raekwon & Ghostface) @ State Theater 12/20/2011

This week we knew we wanted to talk about the holidays but we didn’t have a specific guest. After sending out invitations to multiple local emcees we ended up having a great turnout. With Portland still buzzing from the Wu Tang show the night before the energy was still high and discussions about the show ended up leading to a another Appleton cypher to remember. MC 22, Pennsivv, OD & Guop, Ill By Instinct, & JaeJack from http://jaejackblowductions.com/ all showed up ready to let us know what’s going on with them and to listen to the latest Maine Hip Hop. As always you can stream or download the podcast at the bottom of this article.

After the show, at Rap Night, RZA and some of the Wu Tang affiliates showed up at the Big Easy to check out local 207 flavor. It’s pretty evident Wu Tang had a great time while visiting Portland, here is what RZA himself said on Facebook and Twitter:

“Portland Maine was off the chain. 1000′s of people came out to see the mighty WuTang. From 18 to 36 the ages ranged multi creed and color all under one roof together; which proves it, better hip hop is Alive WU is 4 ever.”

“every state has its own state of mind, but sometimes we find which resonates with all. WuTang seems to be such. Tues night was Fri in Maine.”

Altered Gee – European Gee’s

First off we apologize for how late this podcast is. That being said we will be brief. Last week Altered Gee stopped by the studio to drop off and talk about their project European Gee’s.  Since I’m rushing this I will simply tell you Altered Gee is made up of local producers Slouch and Key Jr. Dee Jay.  You can usually catch these guys participating in the “Fuck Computers” beat machine themed Rap Nights at The Big Easy but I will let the good people at Foxy Digitalis educate you further by providing this link on their recent project:  http://www.foxydigitalis.com/foxyd/?p=21882  . Stream or download the podcast below, it’s Appleton in your area!

“On It Like That” with Mic Stylz, J’You, and Illicit

One of the greatest things about doing the Appleton Radio live show every week is the opportunity to catch up with local artists and hear directly from them. Most of the time our guests are straight out of the 207, but occasionally we get to sneak in some National and New England acts. Last night we were able to get it in with not just one, but three talented and versatile emcees representing the 617, 508, 978 and several other exchanges I don’t know about in Massachusetts. Mic Stylz, who a lot of our listeners are probably familiar with due to the time he spent in the 207, was in town to drop rhymes at The Big Easy’s Rap Night and he brought fellow Mass. representatives J’You and Illicit with him.

Mic Stylz, J'You, & Illicit

Fresh off a show Tuesday night in Augusta the guys arrived nice and early, managers and beer included, and were in the studio with us the entire night. The vibe was good and it was obvious we would have a live show and a good night in Appletonland. Check out the podcast below to hear us get into it heavy, talking some old scene hip hop, getting into some classic joints (that you either didn’t know existed or hoped had been buried), and obviously a too many emcees and not enough mics cypher situation was unavoidable. I think it’s safe to quote Stylz and say that good things happen when Massholes and Maniacs unite! Stream or download the mp3 podcast below, favorite our homepage, call the fan line at 207-200-4277, and live the dream. It’s that simple. Appleton Radio: this is what we do.

AppletonRadio.Com live show on vacation for 2 weeks

Attention 207 hip hop heads!

The Appleton Radio Show will be on vacation for the next two weeks so there will be no live show tonight, November 23rd and no live show next week, November 30th.  As always we still will be streaming Maine Hip Hop 24/7. We will be back on December 7th so this gives everyone a lot of time to submit some new tracks and make sure we have a lot of new and exclusive material for the show on the 7th!  As always you can submit tracks to our email at appletonradio@gmail.com.  (please tag mp3′s or at least provide us a description including track name, artist name, producer name , and any other information you would want us to mention)

We also wanted to take this opportunity to inform you about our new phone #.  You can reach Appleton Radio 24/7 at 207-200-4277!  Leave a request, leave a shout out, leave a drop or just leave something!  We would love to incorporate a fan line segment each week where we play the best messages but in order to make this happen we need you, the fans & artists, to make sure to call in.  Get crazy with it!  That’s why we have it.

Alright 207, we will miss you for the next two weeks but we know you’ll be holding it down, creating new music, performing live, and doing everything YOU do that makes US do this show in the first place.  In the meantime, enjoy some of the newer videos to come out of the 207 this year, PEACE!







Brzowski brings some witches brew to Appleton

This week we had Brzowski on the show to talk about some of the things he has been up to since the last time we spoke.
Every October Brzo takes his show on the road and travels up and down the east coast displaying all sorts of strange for the Halloween season. We got to speak on this a bit and hear how the tour went.

Along with some conversation about the scene and what has been accomplished over the years, we also spoke about some rare releases and what he plans for the future. Brzo brought us exclusive tracks, including one from his “Song for Marty” collaboration with Monsieur Sai from France.

Our good friend Dynamo-P stopped in first and we got to speak a bit about his “Stinky Pockets 2″ free download and what’s been good in the world of JKE.

Check out the show for all of this, plus some great local music.
