week's summary by Kath (4th - 11th of August)

Good evening! :D

How are you doing, dear readers? It's Monday and I've started being diligently working on and for the HHVB.

Last Wednesday, I was training outdoor again with Stev-O and other dancers. It was surprising that some sprayers changed our favourite spot. All of a sudden, the legal walls were full of pink graffities. One day, I'm gonna catch one sprayer for the HHVB. :D

Hello, hello, hello!

Kath is back. I got ill over the weekend! That's why I had to stop working on the HHVB. But I'm okay again and ready to go on working on the HHVB.

Last week I was invited to the birthday party of Dantaya (The Mind of Origin). I got to know singer Shary who has featured in several songs of "The Mind of Origin" crew. For example, "Time to Make a Change". What an amazing voice she has! :D An honour to know her personally.

week's summary by Kath (7th - 13th of July)

Hello, readers!

You all fine? My week was a busy one as always. :D I planned to meet a Viennese female rapper called Coco last Tuesday, met Dantaya last Wednesday and had a photoshooting in Lower Austria for my career as a poet last Saturday.

Coco and me didn't manage to meet for an interview on the 7th of July. But I'm eager to support her and will meet her today. :D

Last Wednesday, I met Dantaya from The Mind of Origin again to check his beats and tracks. I didn't know what to expect of a beat producer and rapper who has made music for over ten years, so I went there without any prejudice. Dantaya's warm-hearted hospitality made it easy for me to be open for his music. When I listened to most of his beats, I felt like standing or sitting somewhere while smoking. It was and still is fascinating for me that his big influence of oldschool Hip Hop and Reggea/Dancehall could be heard in most of the tracks combined with a deep impact of emotions. I wrote the short biography of his crew "The Mind of Origin" on the same evening and enjoyed sharing american hip hop music with him.

week's summary by Kath (23rd - 29th of June)

Hey, guys!

There was a lot on the agenda this week. I interviewed Beli Vuk about his new song "Rap Bombardement" and supported him with three blog entries (announcement, background information, short analysis and English translation of the lyrics). This way of supporting a song with HHVB will be it!

Beside working for the HHVB, I was supporting the Dreistil team with handing out flyers for the second Dreistil rap battle on the 26th of June (announcement, description). Plus, I visited that battle, took minutes for the HHVB and wrote down some notes for a blog entry with my impressions.
