KonsoleKingz chopped it up with Redman, Clinton Sparks, Method Man, Larry Johnson and Russell Simmons at the Def Jam Rapstar booth at E3 in L.A.  They probably weren’t really allowed to show gameplay on video, but man I wanna see how that junk works.  I’ll probably cop it and rap my white ass off when nobody is around.  I wonder if you can you whisper-rap into the mic?  I wonder if they are gonna have a bunch of white kids droppin’ n-bombs playin these games?  I wonder if Russell included songs that use misogynistic lyrics?  I wonder if Oprah is aware of this?

Sergio Da Pro from KonsoleKingz sits down with the almighty David Banner to talk about gaming in general, favorite gaming moments and his upcoming album with 9th Wonder Death of a Pop Star which drops this July.

I don’t agree with Banner about the “free music” movement being the “death of music” however.  In my opinion, it’s the death of the music business, but definitely not the music or genre as a whole.  The music can’t and won’t ever die, but the business will eventually, and I welcome that with open arms, because one day we’re gonna be back to a point where people are making music just for the love of making music and not selling a record.  To me, thats musical utopia.  But then again, I’m not an artist trying to feed my kids with album sales.

Extended family over there at KonsoleKingz.com just dropped their new iPhone app featuring the lovely Bria Myles.  Make sure you cop it and check out all the Konsole Queenz in there.  Incidentally, we just interviews Shay Buckeey Johnson about the iPhone app on our last episode of the show and she was an all out riot!  Cop the app right here: http://www.konsolekingz.com/iphone/

By the way, did you catch that?  She said she comes for free.  Get it? Get it?

It really IS music to game to!  KonsoleKingz.com and Cannon held it DOWN for this Cannon 2k10 volume 1 FREE mixtape featuring tracks by Slim Thug, Mikkey Halsted, Nipsey Hu$$le, Currency, Sean Faylon, Wale, Pac Div and more!  A damn solid album and worth the download.  Make sure you bump this WHILE you play 2k10, it adds a whole other element of energy to the game.

 Konsole Kingz (KKZ), the #1 hip-hop gaming brand, does it again. Konsole Kingz has teamed up with mega-producer Don Cannon to release a new mixtape inspired by their love of sports games.

The banger features production from Don Cannon and exclusive tracks from hip-hop come-up kids Wale, Cool Kids, Pac Div and Currency, with appearances from Ludacris, Slim Thug, Freeway and Bonecrusher plus more.

Konsole Kingz has relationships with the top gaming companies like EA Sports, Xbox, and Activision. And, Konsole Kingz marketing agency has produced launch parties for Madden 2010 and will have one in Atlanta for the launch of DJ Hero.

Konsole Kingz CEO and founder Cj “Kingsoul” Peters says “The Cannon 2K10 mixtape is the culmination of our efforts to bring the video game and hip-hop industry together. This is the first of our Music 2 Game 2 mixtapes, which are inspired by the top video games.”
