For those that were at Hard Knox Grill<\/a> in Cayce, SC on Saturday night probably thought they were going to listen to some watered down South Carolina hip hop music. Instead, the patrons of Hard Knox received a true lesson in Hip-Hop 101: Back to the Basics.\u00a0 The performers on the bill were Fat Rat Da Czar<\/a>, Dan Johns<\/a>, Heazy Boi<\/a>, Eclipz<\/a>, and Sheekeese tha Beast<\/a> on the wheelz of steel.\u00a0 It\u2019s been awhile since Hip Hop has been performed outside of the walls of New Brookland Tavern, but the owner Pete opened up his doors and gave local hip hop artists another home.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shekeese tha Beast started out the night getting everyone hyped with old school jamz to get us ready for class.\u00a0 E-clipz who used to be in the group Odyssee started off hard on the mike with a couple of songs from his new album scheduled to come out this year. Check out some more of his music here on SChiphop.com<\/a> or on his myspace page<\/a>. \u00a0Next up, came Dan Johns out of Florence, SC who always commands attention when he\u2019s on stage.\u00a0 Everyone in the room stands around with their hands crossed and heads bobbin because you have to stop and really listen to the lyrics he spits!\u00a0 He is a beast lyrically on the mic with a nice flow and you gotta respect his hustle. After a short intermission the next cat to come up was Heazy Boi out of VA.\u00a0 Apart of Streetside he is definitely nice on the mike and has gritty sound about him.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"South<\/a>Last, but definitely not least came Fat Rat Da Czar who was the perfect ending to a great night of hip hop music.\u00a0 He pulled everyone to the front of the stage and interacted with the crowd making us feel like we were apart of the show.\u00a0 He provided a little something for the fellas and even took it down a notch for the ladies with help from Mike Smith.\u00a0 Fat Rat let us know that Streetside<\/a> was in the building with guest appearances from Mentality and Met Money<\/a> to perform \u201cRide Wit Me\u201d\u00a0which has been featured on 100.1 The Beat<\/a>. The last song of the night was \u201cDo Whud I do<\/a>\u201d\u00a0and this joint always gets hands in the air and the crowd hyped!<\/span><\/p>\n

If you were not in the building for this show then put yourself in detention.\u00a0 Class dismissed!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
