Lookin’ Back: Lyricks vs Lyraflip @ Kollaboration 2K5

With the Asian Hip-Hop Summit tour in full swing and the gathering of Asian-American MC’s from all over I thought it’d be fun to take a look back to over 4 years ago where two prominent figures of today’s Summit battled it out for yesterday’s pride.

Check this oldie battle from the 2005 Kollaboration competition where Lyricks & Lyraflip competed in an old-fashioned freestyle battle. You may know em now, but did you know em back then?

Dumbfoundead & Crew in Minor Car Accident – May Miss DC Event

For those of you who have been following the Asian Hip-Hop Summit tour, you’d know dumbfoundead and company were travelling all over North America for the festivities.

Unfortunately it appears that there was a small mishap where their tour van was involved in an accident. It looks like everyone’s OK but they may have to miss a few shows while they take care of things.

The scheduled events are still set to take place but the show in DC tonight will likely be without dumb, Zo & Lyraflip (among others). However Lyricks & Manifest will still be in company so you should all still go out.

For updates be sure to follow dumb on twitter to get the latest and greatest news. Thank goodness it was nothing major!
