September 8th, 2024, will mark the end of United Elementz time as an active, online based, brand as their main group hub, on Facebook, will officially close after over a decade on the platform.  United Elementz Network's Bandcamp closed, back on June 23rd, whilst the Mixcloud and Soundcloud platforms were quietly closed the week before. These closures marked the end of United Elementz, 10 year, run as an online music distributor.  The United Elementz team have said "We feel that United Elementz as an active, online based, brand, has had it's time and, to be totally honest, it's had a pretty decent run of supporting artists, DJ's, Graffiti Artists and Breakdancers, over the years, however the brand's initial purpose of getting local individuals, from Hip-Hop's four core elements, to network hasn't been present for a number of years now and without that in place we didn't see any need for the name to continue under that model".  The p

R.A.W Media win the DDT Pro Wrestling Ironman Heavymetalweight Title!!!

Image
On July 5th, 2024, R.A.W Media beat Funky Kato to become the 1,660th holders of the DDT Pro Wrestling Ironman Heavymetalweight Title!!! But how did we, an online Rap and Pro Wrestling based brand, win a Pro Wrestling title that belongs to a promotion based in Japan? Well, this is how!!! We posted a public voting poll, on our X profile, against the then reigning champion, J-Pop singer/songwriter, Funky Kato in which the public had 24-hours to vote for the winner. We also tagged all relevant parties including DDT Pro Wrestling, Funky Kato and even, former ECW referee, Jim Molineaux as the championships rules state that the title can only change hands if an official can confirm the win!!! After 24-hours R.A.W Media came out on top and became the new holders of the Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship (though not physically as the belt is actually in Japan)!!! So who can lay claim to being 1/8th of the title.. this is who - • Bean Lebouc • D

Eminem - Tobey (featuring Big Sean and Babytron) (Audio)

Image
Eminem drops off the second single from his upcoming album 'The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup de Gràce)' titled 'Tobey'.  Em teams up with Big Sean and Babytron to bring the GOAT's of Detroit to the forefront on a pretty solid outing with all 3 playing their parts well.  If 'Houdini' had Em getting back on his Slim Shady shit then this one definitely caters more to the modern Eminem fan.  The switch of styles between 'Houdini' and 'Tobey' leaves more interest in the kind of diversity Em's new album will provide.  Check out the new single here -  Eminem - Tobey (featuring Big Sean and Babytron) (Audio)
