hey kylie, why is it called scribblejam...?

and where did it take place?

[stimpee]

I can hardly contain myself.

[kylie]

his name is mc justice.


it's called scribble jam because it is run by scribble magazine. i have no idea why they called the magazine scribble magazine tho...

it takes place every year in Cincinatti. it's a festival over a couple days, with mc battle, dj battle, breaking battle, and graffiti, as well as performances by a number of underground hip hop artists. not sure who performed this year, but i think atmosphere, brother ali, and murs performed last year, amongst others.

and they have qualifiers for the battle all around the states i believe, and i think this was the tenth year or something, so there was a special tour around the states to lead up to the event.

yeah sorry. i knew it looked wrong when i wrote it, but i was running late, and didn't have time to check. my bad.



the thing with the prize money is that the runner up, Iron Solomon, split the prize with the runner up in some other battle he won. justice knew about that, and must have thought it would be nice to return the generousity.

he really is a nice guy...he always used to hook me up with free movie tickets when he worked at Hoytz cinema, aha.


he doesn't have an album out yet, just some mixtape joints i think. he is part of the group Third World Militia, and the wider crew Cerebral Atrophy (who have a track with Chino XL). one of the other memebers of Cerebral Atrophy is Anecdote who won the "Aussie Friggin Hip Hop" battle on Channel V, and as the prize recorded a track with Kut Masta Kurt.

you can download one of their mixtape joints from here:
