A free copy of an accapella album version was sent out to all contestants to place their original beats over, and Tajai himself picked his favorite remix for each song. He chose 3 of Hotbox's tracks: Let's Live, Multiple Choice, and the Mad Rapper Intro. The folks at Heiro are interested in collaborating for future projects which is exciting news. www.hieroglyphics.com Hotbox Contact: hotbox_thebluntboy@hotmail.com *************************************** Upcoming shows: ** Fredericton, NB ** Friday, October 29th @ Elks Club, Fredericton, NB Halloween Hip-Hop w/ DJ Jorun, DJ Gordski, Apostrophe, First Words, Bonshah, Pimp Tea, Ceeb, Spesh k, Anonymous 5$ / person OR 12$ for 3 people Free giveaways: cds, t-shirts, vinyl.... bobbing for apples, dancing! ** Glace Bay, NS ** Wed, Oct. 27th @ Radio Club, Glace Bay, NS Classified, Jay Bizzy, Marc Cee & more... $5 ** Halifax, NS ** Wednesday, Oct 20th @ the Khyber Club, 1588 Barrington St, Halifax, NS Jesse Dangerously birthday party/show - "New Members & Guests Welcome" Jesse Dangerously and friends, starts at 10pm, $3 Thursday, October 28th @ The Marquee Club, Halifax, NS Classified, Kaleb Simmonds, Universal Soul + Friends (10pm-2am) With DJ'S Gordski and Cosmo (2AM - 3:30AM) Doors Open @ 9PM $8 @ The Door - Come Early!
