Peep the new video by the man Boycott Blues. One of the greatest lyrical displays I've heard in a long time. Actually just one of the best rap songs I've heard in a long time.

DOWNLOAD - Will C. and Boycott Blues on 89.3 WTBU's Midnight Marauders (04.24.11)
Last night was dope. Or, in the words of Blues, it was "def, def, deffington." He and I rolled through to WTBU's Midnight Marauders and did our thing. I'll say it like this... Boycott tore shit up. Listen to the things he says. Whatever he decides to speak on, he's saying it in a way nobody else ever has, and that is saying A LOT.
Aside from the performing, the main reason we stopped by was to promote Brick's upcoming 15th anniversary show this Friday at Church in Boston. Come through for what is no doubt going to be a memorable night, with appearances / performances by 1982 (Statik and Termanology), 7L & Esoteric, Blacastan, Moe Pope (Life After God), Boycott Blues, City Slickers, myself, Deadeye, hosts Checkmark and D-Tension, and probably even more.
Listen to and download last night's broadcast below. Highlight's include:
- Discussing the controversy and recent banning of Colt 45 BLAST in some venues.
- My remix of Doug E. Fresh's La Di Da Di (which I guess I'm calling Dougie's Psychedelic Breakfast for now), and the discussion this raises among the always insightful Marauders crew.
- Blues discussing how he got into making beats and rhymes around the time he was about 5 years old. He used to secretly mess with his brother's equipment. When his brother would turn on his drum machine and see some new beats on there, he wouldn't know how they got there. Check it out.
- Blues rhyming, me rhyming, then back to back rhyming.

TONIGHT (SUNDAY) 8:30 - Will C. & BoyCott Blues on WTBU's Midnight Marauders
TONIGHT 04/24 I'll be stopping by WTBU's Midnight Marauders show with my main man Boycott Blues to promote this shindig -
It should be a good time tonight. Boycott Blues is one of the greatest talents coming out of Boston right now. If you've been hipped to him, I'm sure you're also anticipating his upcoming sophomore offering that should be out this year. If not, consider yourself hipped -
Blues also just got a shout out on Edo's new joint with Premier, Fastlane. This track is ill ("Boycott your music, like my boy Blues") -
You can check out the happenings and listen to the show HERE at 8:30 tonight - Look for the "Listen Live Now" in red on the left side.
By the way, if you missed the last time I was on Midnight Marauders in November of last year, check it out here:
Come out Friday for the Brick Records 15th Anniversary!

Blues Guy Black Def- Heroes & Villains, Saving Seamus Ryan, Evil in the Herald, and more
Crazy weekend! Doing the Coffee Break for Heroes and Villains radio show was dope (see previous post). Shouts to Noah for having me and KARMA come up there. They got an insane record room... I stayed at the station until about 3:30 AM looking through the shelves and getting the tour. Met this one dude "Choke" who was the man. He's currently working alongside Ski producing, and has previously laid down the cuts for Tuff Crew's Still Dangerous album. Very cool guy, so shouts to him as well. The craziest thing was, he doesn't have a laptop, so he was lugging around a computer monitor and PC tower. When he does gigs, he's gotta carry that stuff around, but I hear he can cut his ass off, so anybody snickering gets put in their place. Well, that's the rumor. Anyways, check out an excerpt from the show below:
And stream the entire show HERE. We showed up a little over a half hour into the 3-hour show. It was a night of worrrllllld premieres, worllllld premieresss, including a track off of Esoteric's upcoming solo album, the long awaited and extremely anticipated Saving Seamus Ryan. Listen for the DC the MIDI Alien produced Hold On. More on this sure-to-be incredible album later.
The next morning me and KARMA headed from Jersey City to Hartford, Connecticut to meet up with Blacastan. If you don't know about this dude, do not sleep! He's going to be dropping an incredible album on Brick Records in the not-so-distant future. If you've heard Life of a Tape, I know you don't doubt me. For those who haven't, check it out below.
Blacastan is Brick family, so it was good to finally meet him. It's a privilege having him on my team. No doubt he is super talented, so I look forward to working with him more in the future. He's got the rhymes, he's got the beats, and on some DMC King of Rock shit, he can draw! Not too shabby.
There will be more on Blac soon. For now, all I got to say is Blacastan + Hooters = A good time.
Since I'm on the Brick tip right now though, I gotta also give infinite praise to the up-and-coming emcee BoyCott Blues. His debut single dropped the same day as my album last Tuesday, and it is d-d-d-dope. His upcoming album is almost entirely produced by rapper/producer/dj/apple iphone app creator Insight, so you know it will be quality. His single Da Math features Consequence and Insight, and for me it's really a toss up as to whether the b-side, A Will & A Way, wins again. I really think both of these tracks are exceptional. I know my man Big Dan's vote is for Da Math, and since I debuted A Will & A Way on Coffee Break... (which you can hear above), I gotta go with Dan on this one. I also had to include Da Math remix from Blues upcoming mixtape, R.I.P. City. Check 'em out!
BoyCott Blues Feat. Consequence & Insight- Da Math
And finally finally- Marty Caballero over at the Boston Herald just let me know his review of Evil In The Mirror was in last friday's paper. I gotta thank him for such a positive review.

“Evil in the Mirror” (Brick): A-
For Will C., the 22-year-old hip-hop prodigy who earned plaudits for his smart and inventive skills as a mixtape DJ (the ’80s-inspired “Commercial Rap” and “Down the Dial”), making the transition from behind the scenes to behind the mike isn’t simply a matter of spitting rhymes. On his solo debut, “Evil in the Mirror,” Will carefully constructs the universe as he sees it: a split-screen battle between his better and lesser instincts played out over tough old-school drums and samples. “Be Yourself Syndrome” breaks down his life (and hip-hop) philosophy with lyrical shades of Wu-Tang’s GZA (with lines like “trivial like the bottom of Snapple caps”). As competent and confident as he is an MC, Will’s greatest strength remains his ability to formulate a concept and execute it: “Evil” is greater than the sum of its parts thanks to consistently creative production and arrangements. As a reflection of Will’s wide-ranging talents, “Mirror” looks good. Download: “Synthetic Genetics.”
