The Hip-Hop Advocate returns with the seventh installment of his 'Behind The Boards' playlist series, via the R.A.W Media YouTube channel, focusing on Swizz Beatz classic production work from the late 90's to early 00's!!! Similar to The Alchemist edition, of the series, it's a difficult task selecting Swizz Beatz best production work, especially from the 90's and 00's, however the Advocate's done a pretty impressive job with curating a playlist of his work behind the boards!!! Featuring classics tracks from Jay-Z, DMX, The LOX, Busta Rhymes, Cassidy and more!!! Check out the playlist here -  The Hip-Hop Advocate's Behind The Boards: Swizz Beatz Edition

As he finally ends his in ring career R.A.W Media takes a look back on, the legendary, Sabu's classic 90's run in which he became an underground phenomenon in the world of Pro Wrestling!!! Competing in a number of different promotions (such as ECW, WWF, WCW, NWA, FMW and more) Sabu always took his unpredictable nature with him and had crowds wanting more of the insanity he brought with him!!! Whether you read about him in issues of Pro Wrestling Illustrated, saw his matches through tape traders or caught his brief appearances on national television Sabu's game changing style made you want to dig deeper and in a pre-internet era you really did have to dig deep to find more on him!!! Check out the playlist here -  Underground Legend: The Best Of Sabu (1993 - 1996)

Here at R.A.W Media we love nothing more than classic, mid to late 90's, Pro Wrestling 'B' and 'C' shows!!!  There's no greater 'B', and later 'C', show than World Championship Wrestling's 'Saturday Night' from 1997 to 2000!!!  As any true NWA/WCW historians know the show's roots actually date all the way back to 1971 with Georgia Championship Wrestling's self titled show before becoming 'World Championship Wrestling' which was hosted by GCW, WWF (though they didn't last long), Jim Crockett Promotions and WCW, between 1982 - 1992, until the re-branding to WCW 'Saturday Night'!!! What started off as the promotions flagship programme ended up, by around mid to late '96, becoming their secondary show after 'Nitro' started becoming WCW's main show for the companies bigger storylines, and angles, such as the the formation of the nWo in the Summer of '96!!!  Once 'T...

From 1998 to 1999 WWE (back then WWF) had a television show called 'Super Astros' that featured a mix of established luchadors and, underutilised, WWF stars (mostly from the companies 'Light Heavyweight' division) that was aimed at the promotions Latin American audience!!!  The show is, unfortunately, a forgotten footnote in the promotions history (evidenced by its extremely short run) but looking back at the talent showcased it's a real shame that the programme is so overlooked especially with how highly WWE regards luchadors nowadays!!!  R.A.W Media have put together a playlist of some of the shows best matches in the hopes that it might highlight the fact that WWF/E had the opportunity to showcase the 'Lucha Libre' style way before names like Rey Mysterio or Penta came along!!!  Check out the playlist here -  The Best Of WWF 'Super Astros' (Playlist)

R.A.W Media teams up with Narconomics to present a playlist of select cuts from Gustavo Louis extensive discography on our new YouTube channel!!!  The former home of 'The Hip-Hop Advocate' has now been taken over by us!!!  Despite the change in ownership all previous content (the 'Behind The Boards' series and United Elementz concept week playlists) will remain on the channel!!!  So sit back and hit play on some dope material courtesy of one of Underground Hip-Hop's most consistent artists right here -  R.A.W Media & Narconomics Present RAW NARCOS
