Bobby B Presents…The Hidden Treasures vol. 1

Looking at CD cover, you may not think One Session packs a punch. The simple black artwork of “Bobby B presents The Hidden Treasures Vol. 1” features former members of Da Nayborhoodz, Minus One, Cringe and Tristate, minus the usual attire and bling. Together they form as One Session, and this is one session that you won’t forget anytime soon! The modest, straightforward packaging does not show the true thump power that is inside this CD.

Their style is a mixture of the Suburban Noize hip-hop rock flow, but this release pops a little harder for the streets, with scratches and cuts flying in from left and right, provided by DJ Bobby B! The combination of the three emcees results in a banging first CD. Cuts like “I Need You” featuring Tease are so next level that it’s hard to describe. You just have to hear them. While this is the the first CD from One Session, it is a hell of way to introduce themselves to the world.

There are quite a few standout cuts on this one, and you might even find yourself a new favorite song. It might be the synthed out Cali vibe of “We Back” that gets you, or maybe the acoustic guitar fueled, power collabo track “Get Cash” featuring Johnny Richter. There’s no way you can sleep on songs like “HardHop”, “If This Were” or the radio ready banger “Just All Right”. One Session brings a few friends to the party too. Paradox gets busy on “This Side” and “Jungle Eyes”, Champagne Finesse clowns and helps mack it out in “Bearskin Rug”, and former “Road To Stardom” contestant B-Rhaka brings much needed light to “Change Things”. Big B ,Hannah B, Dirtball, Judge D and Dirtball also appear on “Hidden Treasures” and One Session holds DJ Bobby B.’s down on this one! Every element and style of music is tossed in , blended to a sonic perfection, and blasted out in stereo! The CD is in stores now and I suggest you cop that!

2006 Hip-Hop Summit Action Network ‘Get Your Money Right’ Financial Empowerment Tour Launches March 25
email quote::
“The “Get Your Money Right” tour will include stops in five additional cities, including April 22 in New York, May 20 in Miami, September 16 in Atlanta, September 30 in Los Angeles and October 14 in Dallas.

The agenda includes a focus on financial literacy, basics of banking, repairing and understanding credit scores, asset and wealth management, vehicle financing and home ownership. “Poverty and basic lack of knowledge must be challenged,” emphasized Russell Simmons, Chairman of HSAN.

“Get Your Money Right’ is more than a theme. It is an achievable goal when you have the right information. We have high aspirations, but we know to fulfill the aspirations of the hip-hop generation, we have to take the subjects of financial literacy and empowerment seriously and talk with youth in a manner appealing to them.”
