Jimmy Powers was born in Boston, went to grade school in Houston, and was shipped back to Boston before landing in San Diego with the United States military. After his enlistment was up in 2004, Powers began fronting the trio Clay Pigeons in 2008, working and forming fast bonds with established artists such as Slaine & Big Left of La Coka Nostra, Blame One, Copywrite, Randam Luck, Kutfather, and others.
"I am an active member on the front lines of the growing San Diego hip-hop scene," says Powers, "as well as an established event promoter. Hip-hop does not always need to be viewed in a negative light. I have planned, organized and managed around 20 live music events this year without incident at numerous venues throughout the city, with turnout ranging from 75 to 200 people."
After a group fallout with Clay Pigeons, Powers decided to concentrate on a solo career. His album Califoreigner includes contributions from San Diego hip-hop artists Blame One, Slaine, Copywrite, Randam Luck, and others, with digital distribution handled by Foundation Media.

The S.O.N. EP is the first entry in Shawn Lov's catalogue since 2007's "Waiting For A Ghost" LP which received critical praise in Rolling Stone magazine and various international press. The S.O.N. is a mature, minimalistic, and deliberate collection of songs which were written, performed, produced, and recorded entirely by Shawn Lov.
Beats are strictly creative breaks and boom bap- reminiscent of the days of the SP1200 and MPC60. Topics vary but are grounded by Shawns reflection of a forgotten sound, and his own search for identity as a white artist whose world view was nurtured by black music and black culture. The S.O.N. EP is the eleventh official collection of music by Underground Hip-Hop mainstay- The Lov Doctor, The Great Cipher Destroyer and the S.O.N.: Shawn Lov.
Also look for "Future Left Behind" The LP on NuffSaid Records this summer, featuring Sadat X, Custodian of Records, Prowla, MC Que, Truth or Square, Nic&Jaq, and many more!

"Hieroglyphics' Opio & Chosen Few's Unjust team up for "Mark It Zero" Lebowski Tribute Album. With the concept of the album coming from a trip taken by Opio and Unjust to a screening of the Big Lebowski at the historic Red Vic Theatre on fabled Haight Streeet in San Francisco on 4.20 of last year, both Unjust and Opio prepare to release The Big Lebowski Tribute Album "Mark It Zero". It was there at the Red Vic Theatre that the two men, even though they were in a confined movie theatre, thought "Fuck it, man" and fired up a joint of medicial Cali Kush prompting scores of other patron's to do the same in the theatre, thus becoming quite the far out scene. As Opio & Unjust (who are both big fans of the cult classic) got deeper into the film, they came with the idea of the tribute." More info here

R.I.P Guru
“Guru has passed away yesterday morning (April 19) after a long battle with cancer.
According to Solar, Guru suffered from the malicious illness for over a year and after numerous special treatments under the supervision of medical specialists failed, the legendary MC succumbed to the disease. Guru always tried to keep this harrowing diagnosis in private but in early 2010 he had to admit himself to hospital due to serious effects caused by the disease.
Since the onset of illness, Guru tried to live a “normal” life as an influential and outstanding musician, loving father, family man, and best friend. Doctors encouraged Guru to think positive that the cancer can be arrested and that a full recovery is possible but several special treatments including hard hitting chemotherapies failed.
While in hospital with terminal cancer, Guru wrote a letter, which was provided by Solar, to his fans addressing his illness, his shining music career, his family and loved ones.
“I, Guru, am writing this letter to my fans, friends and loved ones around the world. I have had a long battle with cancer and have succumbed to the disease. I have suffered with this illness for over a year. I have exhausted all medical options. I have a non-profit organization called Each One Counts dedicated to carrying on my charitable work on behalf of abused and disadvantaged children from around the world and also to educate and research a cure for this terrible disease that took my life. I write this with tears in my eyes, not of sorrow but of joy for what a wonderful life I have enjoyed and how many great people I have had the pleasure of meeting,” read the official Guru statement.
“My loyal best friend, partner and brother, Solar, has been at my side through it all and has been made my health proxy by myself on all matters relating to myself. He has been with me by my side on my many hospital stays, operations, doctors visits and stayed with me at my home and cared for me when I could not care for myself. Solar and his family is my family and I love them dearly and I expect my family, friends, and fans to respect that, regardless to anybody’s feelings on the matter. It is my wish that counts. This being said I am survived by the love of my life, my sun KC, who I trust will be looked after by Solar and his family as their own. Any awards or tributes should be accepted, organized approved by Solar on behalf myself and my son until he is of age to except on his own.”
The statement reads on, “I do not wish my ex-DJ to have anything to do with my name likeness, events tributes etc. connected in anyway to my situation including any use of my name or circumstance for any reason and I have instructed my lawyers to enforce this. I had nothing to do with him in life for over 7 years and want nothing to do with him in death. Solar has my life story and is well informed on my family situation, as well as the real reason for separating from my ex-DJ. As the sole founder of GangStarr, I am very proud of what GangStarr has meant to the music world and fans. I equally am proud of my Jazzmatazz series and as the father of Hip-Hop/Jazz. I am most proud of my leadership and pioneering efforts on Jazzmatazz 4 for reinvigorating the Hip-Hop/Jazz genre in a time when music quality has reached an all time low. Solar and I have toured in places that I have never been before with GangStarr or Jazzmatatazz and we gained a reputation for being the best on the planet at Hip-Hop/Jazz, as well as the biggest and most influential Hip-Hop/Jazz record with Jazzmatazz 4 of the decade to now. The work I have done with Solar represents a legacy far beyond its time. And we as a team were not afraid to push the envelope. To me this is what true artists do! As men of honor we stood tall in the face of small mindedness, greed, and ignorance. As we fought for music and integrity at the cost of not earning millions and for this I will always be happy and proud, and would like to thank the million fans who have seen us perform over the years from all over the world. The work I have done with Solar represents a legacy far beyond its time and is my most creative and experimental to date. I hope that our music will receive the attention it deserves as it is some of the best work I have done and represents some of the best years of my life.”
