DJ J-RONIN and GUEST MCs pack Black Star for Epic MC Cipher

DJ J-Ronin at Black Star (Harlem NYC)
The latest DJ J-RONIN mixtape dropped last week and it’s titled “Freestyle Files Vol.2” and it is pure fire featuring 50 emcees! An official In Store event also happened at Black Star (352 Lennox Ave) in Harlem, NYC. An MC Cipher was scheduled with DJ READY CEE on the wheels of steel providing the beats and instrumentals and when I walked in the building the freestyle session was just getting warmed up. Lyrical assassins, battle rappers, and hip hop legends all converged upon the shop to spit verses and at one point, things started getting hyped when indie legend Shabaam Sahdeeq got his mic swiped and had to school a young buck. Two female MCs represented which is always cool to see…Ms. Hustle and Harlem’s own, Ya Girl Nicolette. Lil Fame of M.O.P. was in the house along with a lot of familiar faces I’ve seen at hip hop shows and in stores from back in the days of Fat Beats. Mr. Beatz aka The MC on the MPC was seen on the microphone along with Brooklyn’s Sav Killz representing All Elements. There were too many MCs in attendance to name, but a few standouts were Karniege, Double A.B., Mic Handz, Team Homi and BK collective Bankai Fam. The night ended with the last MCs standing kicking it a cappella without a microphone and a beat. It was an awesome event and it just proves that hip hop in NYC is not dead but you do have to look and listen in the right places. Hopefully Black Star hosts more similar events and continues to thrive in the Harlem community…definitely support independent shops and don’t forget to pick up DJ J-Ronin’s Freestyle Files Vol 2 Mixtape. Out Now!
