THE ZRO HOUR: RETURN TO ZERO- 12 Emcee Power Cipher from EDAYE on Vimeo.

12 emcees, a human beatbox and DJ Ambush on the 1s and 2s? Sounds like a recipe for ill hip hop. This footage represents the essence of what THE ZRO HOUR is about- real hip hop, independent artists that love their craft and community. Watch as Eturnal, J-Hon, Mike Swift, ZEPS, Dashah, Puerto Glok, Eternia, Randy Mason, Hasan Salaam, Kid Novice, Knewdles, MONSTER and beatboxer Chesney Snow destroy the mic during the anniversary recording of THE ZRO HOUR.

NEW SINGLES: Tame One, NES, Little Vic, Peedi Crakk

Amalgam Digital is set to release Tame One’s “Da Ol Jersey Bastard” and will hit stores on July 29, 2008. The album will be entirely produced by Drum and Knowledge of Parallel Thought, and will feature just two guest rappers, Sean Price and Del The Funky Homosapien. In the 90’s, Tame One was one half of the critically acclaimed underground hip hop duo, The Artifacts along with collaborator El Da Sensai. Over the years Tame has become an eccentric, rapping less about graffiti and more about the mind expansion qualities of drugs. Check out the first single "CATCH ME" featuring Del The Funky Homosapien-

Amalgam Digital is on fire once again with the recent signing of Peedi Crakk! Peedi Crakk joins a roster made up of both commercially successful artists and underground hip hop icons, including Grammy-nominee Joe Budden, Kurious, Tash (of Tha Alkaholiks), and the Juggaknots. His highly anticipated debut album “Camel Face Hunting Season,” will be released in September 2008. We have an exclusive freestyle here direct from Amalgam Digital-
