DRC ENTERTAINMENT: March 2011

DRC'S OTTOMIC BLUE HAD A CHAT WITH HTR'S B'LOCO ABOUT THE UPCOMING, 4TH ANNUAL "BLAZED AND CONFUSED" SHOW. HERE IS A THE HISTORY A QUICK CATCH UP AND WHAT TO EXPECT FROM B&C 4.

DRC: Well, April is upon us, which means the annual "Blazed & Confused" concert is about to pop off at Tammany Hall (in Worcester, MA). What was the inception of B&C, and was it always a hope it would return every year?

B’LOCO: B&C was the 2nd show I booked at Tammany Hall, on 4/20 in ‘08. Knowing we had the 4/20 date, we knew we had to do a weed show. We didn’t put much into it then, we were just getting started. We booked the show 3 weeks before the event. Sixxxex named the event, after quoting our homie Gel-O’s Myspace name, lol. The show wasn’t a great turn out. For what it was, it was Fresh though! The vibes were hyphy! The line up was sick! Mother fuckers were Blazed & Confused. We went into this show knowing this was gonna be our annual event, and we had to do it next year. It gave us time to plan it out better and open the doors earlier so we can all be together on 4:20! Our goal is to make each year better than last.

DRC: In that respect, how have you made each year top the last? More specifically, in ways of the promotions and talent that came with the following years.

B’LOCO: Well the first year was easy to "top", we opened the doors early and booked more acts from around New England. The 3rd year was different, we ended up doing pre-sale tickets so we could fly out Mars and have national touring act Dead by Wednesday headline the show. We also had Diggz from Hell Ent. film the whole show, which he turned it into DVD. Copies will be available at the 4th annual! We had one of a kind t-shirts printed up as well as a soundtrack for B&C with exclusive tracks from the performers…. Which came out really fucking fresh! The 3rd annual is going to be hard to beat, there was such a strong attendance. We had to step our game up this year!

****NOTE-DOWNLOAD FOR SOUNDTRACK AND DVD COMMERCIAL AT THE BOTTOM OF INTERVIEW

DRC: It sounds like B&C4 is going to be the best so far. Along with printing up EXCLUSIVE shirts and a new soundtrack, last years DVD for sale, shooting this year DVD it shows what an event it will be. What can you tell us about this years’ musical acts?

B’LOCO: This year, B&C is gonna be wild!!! We got Grave Plott head-lining from Dirty Thugs Records. For their last album, they had a signing deal with Strange Music (Tech N9ne’s label). Which to me, is huge to have them play! We also got SCUM flying in from Colorado, and everyone’s favorite DJ SLIM will be plying again for the 3rd year in a row. On top of 15 more acts including Cooler than Smack, Joint Damage, Kryptik and Lewn will be splitting a set again this year! Wayne da Payne playing his 4th year! Shit, I can go on and on about all the talent on this year bill, but ill keep it short and tell you just to GO! This year is a little different though because were bringing in special guests! Including Mike Cann from Mikecann.net, also the “King Of Pot” from KOPproductions.com. They’re both fighting for the good cause, and that cause is to get Marijuana legalized!!

DRC: It seems like "Blazed & Confused" is growing into quite the annual event. It is really important to stay educated and fight for your rights, Mike Cann and KOP seem a natural fit for the show. Did you reach out to them specifically for those reasons, or did they approach you?

B’LOCO: We’ve done a lot of benefit shows for the Boston Freedom Rally these past couple of years. So we’re familiar with both of their work. With help from DJ SLIM, we got a hold of them both, and there down for the cause! You can’t beat their promotions, especially in the New England weed scene. We are going to reach a whole crowd of people for this year event. Shiiit we got K.O.P. giving away a free vortex! That right there is mad fresh, and a great reason to go to this show! Seems like every year were making New England Underground history!

DRC: Excellent! Speaking of history, for those that are unaware of yours, let everyone know about Hy-Town and all you have been up to in the New England underground scene.

B’LOCO: Hy-Town is a group of 5 close homies working on the same page. All wanting and willing to share the same dream. That is to entertain the underground world we grew up in. We have done a lot of shows in the past four years and are always trying out new ideas for upcoming shows. Many can rap but only few can entertain, and if you got that gift to entertain. Hy-Town wants to help you share with everybody! We book and promote our own gigs. Produce and distribute our own music. We network with as much as we can with everyone online. Shit were trying to get the job done, and put New England on the map!

Hy-Town wants to help you share it* with everybody!

DRC: Sounds like a group of guys who know what they want, and are going for it! Lastly, can you fill everyone in on where to go find all their Hy-Town goods and info?

B’LOCO: We got all the social networks including Facebook and Myspace. www.Reverbnation.com/iNFiNiTTi is the best spot for the newest updated information. We got www.Hy-TownRecords.com. Right now it redirects you to the myspace, shortly we will be launching the official site which you where you will be able to keep updated with new shows, free music downloads, videos and all that hyphy stuff that goes down in the New England Underground!
