Xmas Show - For a Great Cause!


So, its about that time, boys & girls. Jack Frost nipping at your nose, nips at the office xmas party, strangely fascinating rudolph clamation specials, and waiting for the big guy dressed in red- or whatever cartoonish character fits in with your various holiday celebrations. We'd like to invite everyone to The B.O.S. Skwad Records Xmas Show at the No. 9 Ale House. Tis the season, so...We will be asking for a donation at the door (either $5 w/ an unwrapped, new toy or $10). All toys will be donated to Toys-for-tots and all other proceeds will be donated to the Wish Foundation for terminally ill children. Also, I will personally be taking up a collection for the fire in Everett that left families homeless. Also, dope emcees and turntablists will be rockin' all night! So come through and enjoy some boombap and tall beers with The B.O.S. and friends.

Who knows if we rock the spot, Kruschev Crangel may even show up.

A Tuesday Treat

In light of tonight's show being cancelled, I figured everyone needed a nice dose of some sick Hip Hop. For you listening and viewing pleasure, "Pain killers" by Cannibal Ox.



The B.O.S. Skwad and a few friends will performing with Vast Aire of Cannibal Ox on December 28th at the Bulfinch Yacht Club. Hope to see everyone there.

Boston Sports Post


This is the first of a weekly sports posting in the Boston area so check it read it and sorry akro is not here so it wont be a rap, if you call Uncle Jerry he will sing it to you.


Boston Redsox: Well in some good news Eric Gagne has declined arbitration this is the best news since they signed Pedro. Also the Redsox have agreed to terms with Mike Timlin on a one year deal to bring Timlin back for his sixth season with the Redsox. Things are also heating up in the Santana talks Redsox are willing to part with Crisp and Lester but will not trade Ellsbury.

The Redsox are looking to also bolster the best pen in baseball by trying to sign some relief pitching.


Boston Celtics: Well the best team in basketball is just winning and winning big they steam rolled past Toronto last night by 28 points. The Celtics had five players in double figures lead by Garnett's 23pts. The Celtics are now 16-2 the second best start in team history which lead to Doc Rivers being named coach of the month for November.


New England Pats: Theres nothing to say but undefeated, Brady is 9 tds away for breaking Manning's record and Moss the same guy the NFL said was washed up is 5 tds for Rice's single season record o yeah did i say also the Pats need just 87 points to break the vikings record for a season. If the Pats get by the Steelers no one can touch them this will be the toughest game of the year .


Boston Bruins: Well does anyone really care ??? sorry Mister Salty i know this is your favorite sport but only you and Uncle Jerry care so we wont waste the time.


Check out next week and see were we stand

Main Street Fire in Everett



As many of you know, there was a huge fire on Main Street in Everett, only houses away from the home-base. Fortunately, noone was killed and the loser lounge remains completely intact. However, three houses burned to the ground and dozens of families lost everything. We would like to ask all of our supporters to dig deep this holiday season and donate whatever you can to this cause. You can make monitary donations at:

Main Street Fire Relief Fund
c/o Eagle Bank
466 Broadway
Everett, MA 02149

Also, we will be collecting additional donations at our upcoming shows.

Thanks in advance for you kindness,

"Obscene" Hip Hop being criticized in Iran


From AFP Iranian.ws, Dec. 1

"Iran said it plans to launch a crackdown on Iranian rap music, complaining that the words used by rap artists were "obscene", the state IRNA news agency reported Thursday.
"There is nothing wrong with this type of music in itself," the official for evaluation of music at the Culture and Islamic Guidance Ministry, Mohammad Dashtgoli, was quoted as saying.
"But due to the use of obscene words by its singers this music has been categorised as illegal," he said.
"In coordination with the police, illegal studios producing this type of music will be sealed and the singers in this genre will be confronted," he said.
Dashtgoli said a large number of illegal rap singers have been already identified.
The Islamic republic's hardline officials have repeatedly complained about a "cultural invasion" by "decadent" western music which they believe diminishes Islamic values.
The culture ministry official expressed his frustration that rap artists were finding low-cost ways to publish their music on the Internet. "We should find a solution for this."
Rap music has become increasingly popular amongst young urban males in Tehran, with explicit lyrics taking in social, political and sexual themes.
Producing albums and holding concerts in Iran requires official permission from the culture ministry and, needless to say, rap music is an underground phenomenon in the Islamic republic.
Nevertheless, rap albums are widely available on the black market with artists drawing inspiration from the Persian-language rap of the Iranian diaspora based in Los Angeles.
Iran is currently in the midst of its most severe moral crackdown in years, which has seen thousands of women warned for slack dressing, several bootleg music stores shut and "decadent" mixed-sex parties raided.
Conservatives have applauded the crackdown as a bold move to promote virtue but some moderates have questioned the value of the drive at a time when Iran's economic problems are hitting the poor hard."

Good looks to ZerkA8 for the scoop.

The Local Watering Hole

For some reason, it seems the Hip Hop is forever linked to a culture of drinking. Some believe that Hip Hop seems to live somewhere in the dimension of the cultural-mood, a spot where you disposition is closely linked to the feel of theseason. Boston is cold; we are in a bar. Current drinks at the no. 9 Ale House--sylence:jack and coke, x-product: blue moon draft, ReCaaLL: sprite and absolute, Kristen: also blue-mooning it, Sean: Sam Cherry Wheat, Shortrock: drank the cheapest beers in the spot. Drinking, Hip Hop, thoughts...


We are listening to the Regulators Lp on the jukebox!!!
"It's kinda easy when you listen to the G'ed up sound"
