Welcome, people!!
857Access is your main source for 857 member blogs, free mixtape downloads, updates, news, and developments!
New video blogs produced and hosted by each 857 member will be posted every Monday.
857 lyricist/rapper - The 23rd Stallion will host “The 23rd Word” which exposes horrible hip-hop videos and the songs that inspired them. But that’s not all: Sometimes Stal will grill whack rappers in his featured interviews and even take songs that were tainted by whack verses and replace them with a verse of his own.
Behind the scenes production is revealed by 857’s talented DJ/producer in “In the Studio with AL-G”. Aspiring producers can learn a lot as AL-G goes over several areas of the beat making process including sampling, mixing, and other techniques. AL-G will also give away free downloads featuring popular songs remixed with an instrumental produced by the master himself.
857 lyricist/rapper - YKC will discuss senseless trends that are currently abused in hip-hop music as well as perform an original vocal demonstration from his coveted book of lyrics, in YKC’s Hip-hop Hoopla. A free mixtape download will be offered with just about every episode of YKC’s Hip-hop Hoopla featuring the verse he dropped from his blog !
857 lyricist/rapper - Tur-Bo will assume the role of talkshow host and discuss music news and entertainment topics of his choice in Tur-Bo’s Topic of the Month. Assisting him with ripping apart topics will usually be another fellow member of 857 who he’ll be interviewing to let viewers know what to expect in the future from 857Access!
Lyrics 2 Go will feature 857 lyricists (Tur-Bo, The 23rd Stallion, and YKC) spittin’ hot fire on an instrumental of their choice, available to visitors as a FREE download. Sometimes we’ll even rap over an AL-G production!
You can always look forward to a new “Lyrics 2 Go” download every 2-3 weeks!
As if we don’t already offer enough on here: 857Access will also feature archived episodes of the “Ask Dirty Cos”, produced by AL-G and voiced by the 23rd Stallion. “Dirty Cos” is a fictional parody of famous comedian/actor Bill Cosby who doesn’t hold back when expressing his opinion about today’s music artists!
Older episodes of “Ask Dirty Cos” will be available on 857Access once every 1 to 2 months and new episodes will be available exclusively to those that sign up for the 857 Newsletter!
So that’s the gist of it.
Oh and before I forget…comments and feedback are always welcome…(you know, just as long as we like’em).
