By Low Key | August 18, 2008

Isaac DeLima, aka DJ I-Dee, has carved out a name for himself in the world of scratch music, having already conquered the battle scene by winning three of its most prestigious titles–the Disco Mix Club (DMC) USA Supremacy, Scribble Jam and Gong World Supremacy–all within six months of each other and by the age of 19.

And now, a seasoned DJ and performer at the age of 21, DJ I-DEE will release his debut full length album of original material SOLITUDE v
ia Adiar Cor Records on August 26.

Kaboose & Royce Da 5′9″ Got The Crowd ‘Goin’ Outta Control’
By The King | August 18, 2008

VIA [Syntax Records]
The Full-Length ‘Excuse Me’ hits store 10/14/2008
Hip-hop artist Kaboose is poised to unleash his Syntax Records debut entitled Excuse Me on October 14th. Armed with only a microphone and the Syntax in-house production team, the Minnesota emcee serves up 15 heaters - all full of the unapologetic truth.
While it’s his first full-length album on Syntax Records, this is far from an introduction. Through years of pounding the pavement as a full-time emcee and his national appearances on the Night Owls series, he has already built a strong fan base that is more than ready for Excuse Me.
