CMJ MUSIC MARATHON RECAP CLIPSE, DUCK DOWN & BROOKLYN BODEGA SHOWCASE RECAP + PHOTOS
The CMJ Music Marathon which has been called the “East Coast equivalent of SXSW” touched down in New York City from October 20-24th and it was crazy! We enjoyed checkin’ out both the signed and independent artists who used the showcases as an opportunity to connect with their college radio fan bases.

The Clipse rocked the house as they headlined a MySpace Music Pre-Release Show at the Hiro Ballroom to promote their new album, “Til The Casket Drops,” which comes out on December 8th.
While the fellas were in town, they linked up with Killa Cam to shoot the video for the song “Popular Demand (Popeyes).” We’ll be on the look out for that!

The dynamic hip-hop duo took to the stage and performed a mix of the old, new and mixtape cuts. When Pusha T and Malice performed “Grindin’”, “Mr. Me Too,” “I’m Good,” and “Kinda Like A Big Deal” the crowd went bonkers. Now, the Clipse may have had on their “Play Clothes,” which is the name of the brothers’ clothing line, but these dudes were serious.
We got to check out a lot of new music during CMJ 2009. Another showcase we went to was put on by Brooklyn Bodega.

It was a cool Soul and Hip-Hop event, at a spot called Drom, which featured the talented Kimberly Nichole and Jesse Boykins III (JB3) for the Soul set while Pac Div, Tanya Morgan, Those Chosen, and Diamond District represented for hip-hop. Props to the Brooklyn Bodega gang for making this event possible.
Duck Down also put on a showcase at The Gramercy Theater with a hard line-up that brought not only Buckshot, Sean Price ft. Heltah Skeltah, and Smif N Wessun but also Kidz in The Hall, Skyzoo and special guest Pharoahe Monch to the stage.
It was hip-hop heaven!
If you didn’t check out the event this time around, you missed out. You should definitely check it out next year.
