Sunday (11/2) 9pm et, Tuesday (11/24) 9 am et on RAW (ch.66, Direct TV 846)

November 4th is a huge day for both hip hop and our country in general. We elect our new president that day, the long awaited Q-Tip album drops, and all those who ordered the new Panacea album for October 28th finally get it delivered to them! (ha ha…a lil jab there folks). So in light of all these things going on over the next few days, we decided to split the show accordingly. The first hour Raw Poetic and K-Murdock (aka Panacea) sit down with KB and give some background on the making of the new album and pick out individual favs from it. We will also give a ten minute sampling of the new Q-Tip album “The Renaissance”, and allow Z-Trip to take over the last hour of the show with his recently released Obama Tribute Mix. For more background info on this mix, and to download it yourself check: http://www.djztrip.com/obama/

Above is a short documentary (airing on Current TV) on the MPC by Gabe Uhr. It features K-Murdock (of Panacea and Subsoniq), Damu (of Y Society), and Patrick Fritz (guitarist for Panacea and RPM). The short video is narrated by Raw Poetic (emcee of Panacea, and guest host of Subsoniq)

Short synopsis below:
“The MPC has moved from the studio to the stage and all kinds of performers, from rockers to rappers to classicly trained musicians, are utilizing its beat making abilities. One MC will take us through the MPC transformation, as we see, hear and talk to different kind of musicians, and even non-musicians, who are making this technology the oldest newest trend in music making.”
