About Butta Verses

View Profile

Butta Verses

Butta Verses, a Bronx-bred rapper who now calls Fort Lauderdale, FL, home, made his debut appearance on De La Soul's 2004 release The Grind Date spitting back to back with Posdonus on the song No. Butta's name was bestowed upon him by fellow MCs at local ciphers but once his mixtape reached the ears of DJ Maseo from De La Soul, his rhymes started reaching neighborhoods around the world. Maseo signed Butta to his Bear Mountain Entertainment label and he began touring with De La Soul to promote The Grind Date. Butta released several mixtapes while playing over 200 shows on De La Soul's international tour and began recording with his crew GCD (Glee Club Detention) as well as Seattle's Vitamin D and Bean One for his Bear Mountain debut, Brand Spankin.

Having completed his term with Bear Mountain, Butta focused on live performances, sharing the stage with such veterans as Wu Tang Clan, KRS-One, Boot Camp Click and many others. Though no longer signed with Maseo, Butta was heard in late 2006 on De La Soul's old-school flavored track, You Got It from Impossible Mission. All along, Butta has seen a great deal of his catalog licensed for television (NBC's Saturday Night Live and A&E's Dog The Bounty Hunter, to name a couple) and ringtones through his partnership with NYC-based licensing company, Beats and Rhymes.

Today, Butta is wrapping up his follow-up album, Six Minutes To Ten, with such guests as CL Smooth, and A-Butta of Natural Elements with production help from The Mighty V.I.C. and Tzarizm among others. March of 2007 will see the release of an exclusive Butta V track produced by Marco Polo on hip-hop upstart label Audio Clutch. The label's debut release will be available in record stores and online everywhere. Expect more from this rising star in 2008.

Ice Cube's "Comeback"
Courtesy of Filmfodder.com

Rapper-turned-actor Ice Cube is going to make a comeback in a film titled, well, "Comeback." He has most recently been seen in "XXX State of the Union." So, I suppose it is not so much a real comeback, but it made for a better opening line.

Mister Big Stuff

Do you know someone who resembles Christopher "Biggie Smalls" Wallace? Better tell him to hold off on that South Beach diet for a few more weeks.

The Breaks
By Jana Martin/MOLI

From 1982 to 1990, photographer Janette Beckman set out to capture the rappers, actors, gangstas, and ordinary people who were fomenting hip-hop style. Now she's put her images together in a fantastic book, "The Breaks," that's exuberant, powerful, and (to some) a heavy trip down memory lane.

    It looks like you really love what you do - I like the beats I heard in the background. Good luck with the new album.
