DJ Dramadik Addresses
The Artistic Desert That Is Atlantic City.

Dear Atlantic City NJ ... I was born here and I live here.. I've been back and forth from here and NY for a lot of my life .. I've spun in a lot of other states and a couple different countries .. And I'm here now to say sorry.. The reason I'm saying sorry is .. AC is a place that doesn't have a lot of opportunities for the local artist .. AC is not a artsy place .. Which is odd to me.. Thinking of all the talent that has performed here from Sammy Davis etc.. It's sad that venues , radio , etc. just do what is the norm for other places but AC has no identity for itself .. I love it here that's why I raise my family here.. But at the same time it's killing me on the real .. I'm tired of kissing ass and selling my self and soul to idiots that have no clue about ‪#‎culture‬ etc.. My resume speaks for itself.. And these people really need to learn some respect.. This is not a rant .. Just facts.. I'm done being quiet.. And for the record this if from me!! Not any one associated with me etc.

David Allmond , Dj Dramadik

There is a lot of talent in your own backyard.. Take advantage .. 100

A Thought For Change

While it is not responsible to let children do as they wish.
 Let's try to do less of this.
"Because I said so. I don't have to explain myself to you."

Instead let's try this.
"I do not HAVE to explain myself to anyone.When you become a grown up, you can make your own decisions in your own home. I will however explain why? Because if I am not around I still would want you to do the right thing. Because I LOVE YOU. Now that's the final word on this."

Real Rap: There will be parents and children that think "family drama" is cute today. Years from now  they will wish for a chance to do it over..and that chance will not offer itself in THIS life.

JMO: Some things are worth getting right THE FIRST TIME!

"Shabazz Calls For Interfaith Vigil Against Islamophobia & Racism"

Councilman-Elect Kaleem Shabazz, Board President of Masjid Muhammad of Atlantic City, and President of Bridge of Faith is announcing an Interfaith vigil to be held on Tuesday, December 15, 2015, at 12:00 noon in the lobby of Atlantic City's City Hall.
Shabazz remarked, "Persons of good will must stand together against the shrill voices that would feed on frustration, fear and anger
to marginalize and target groups of citizens. I am pleased to say that I am receiving an excellent response from leaders and lay people in
the area to this call for unity, calm and respect for all."

An Open Letter To My Conservative Friends

WHY I AM NOT SUPER UPSET ABOUT DONALD TRUMP'S

HATE SPEECH ABOUT MUSLIMS

 

Dear Friends that support The Republican Party,

Nothing Donald Trump said about stopping Muslims from coming to America or his comment to ship them all back was surprising to me.

Here is a news flash for you my Republican friends.

My views are that Ronald Reagan was NEITHER "charming" or "funny".

In my personal view Reagan was just Donald Trump with some Hollywood Writers.

In reality the policies of Reagan, George Bush 1 and yes some of the policies of Bill Clinton were all in line with the ideas that Donald Trump and The Republican Party sell as "A Great America."

When I hear the words a "Great America or Patriotic?" I hear it as code for "The White Guys Get Their's First."

So when I hear Donald Trump...he is just another Republican selling "A Great America" maybe with out the Hollywood Writers but the plot is still the same.

The Message Is Still and Has Always Been to ME.

If you are not rich and connected? GET OUT OF OUR WAY!

If you are Black? You must be a criminal or an athlete...unless you are one of The Blacks I have hand picked to be on my list of "Good Ones."

If You Are A Woman? That's Why We Have The Bible To Keep You In Place.

If You Are Poor? You Should Prepare Yourself To Serve or To Be In Jail.
In Fact, It's A Crime NOT To Have Enough Money To Stay Out Of Jail.

If You Are A Wage Earner? You Live To Make Us Rich and Every Dime YOU Make Should Be Spent On Your Food and Shelter. You Do Not Need Health Care. You Do Not Need A College Education. Your Kids Do Not Need a Decent Primary Education or College. And you Do not NEED decent Food to eat that does not cause cancer.

I could go on...but for real. This is how I and some of my friends that would consider ourselves thinkers view your "ideals" which are  not new, inclusive, or very kind to any one (unless you are a White Man.)

Keep in mind that while people are up in arms about Donald Trump's statements about Muslims...the facts are....Police in 2015 feel confident and have a mandate that starts with our very Black President to shoot un armed people in the street on camera. And there is NO SHAME!

The prices for a college education is OBSCENE! And there is NO SHAME!

In some states including mine (New Jersey) Governors ...want nothing more for Christmas than to take pensions from teachers and police and give that money to people that are already rich...who happen to be white men...and THERE IS NO SHAME!

So my question is explain to me how Donald Trump and Ronald Reagan ARE NOT THE SAME GUY?

With Warmest Regards,

Raymond Tyler


Tonight at 6pm. I am hosting The Wednesday Night Social At T Wakes. BBQ in EHT, NJ.

We will be discussing Donald Trump's Remarks with several Muslim Americans.

Do You Think Mike Would Be Proud Of The I WANT YOU BACK CHALLENGE

I THINK MIKE WOULD BE VERY HAPPY WITH THE "I WANT YOU BACK" ACAPELLA CHALLENGE

I can't tell you where I was the first time I heard it. I can tell you the first time I heard it and it changed my life.

I was listening to Dick Clark's radio special ROCK ROLL AND REMEMBER , a special celebration of 30 year's of ROCK N ROLL. The show played and discussed...the importance and status of every number one recording from Bill Hailey and The Comet's ROCK AROUND THE CLOCK to the number one record of that week.

I sat in my parents living room on a Sunday afternoon glued to my radio.

The stories these entertainers shared made me realize...at one point in their lives they were sitting in front of a radio just like me.

Then when ROCK ROLL AND REMEMBER got to the first week of 1970...I heard a piano rift that has made my heart beat a little faster and made me smile every since.

That was the first time I heard I WANT YOU BACK that it meant something and EVERYTHING... to me.


Now Macy's has sponsored an I WANT YOU BACK a cappella challenge and school after school are dropping dope interpretations of the Jackson Five's Classic debut recording.

Some are almost identical as one could get to the original with the human voice. Others are just ubre cool ways to re hear the words for the first time.

Either way...I don't have a favorite besides the original. I do however, enjoy them all for what they mean to the young voices singing their versions.

 I am glad the song is being remembered, respected and remains a musical building block.

Like it or not MJ and The J 5 were icons coming right out the gate and their very first single not only stands the test of time...it continues to redefine music for generations that will have never been alive at the same time as MJ.

Not a day goes by that I don't wish Mike was still here...but where ever he is today...I hope he's happy.

Tonight! The Hottest Party On The East Coast is with Ray The Closer at The Claridge Celebrity Lounge!

                                     DON'T WONDER WHERE THE PARTY IS TONIGHT?
              JOIN THE SUCCESSFUL SEXY PEOPLE AT THE BEAUTIFUL CLARIDGE HOTEL
                                                    IN THE HEART OF ATLANTIC CITY!

                 GREAT MUSIC! GREAT DRINKS! NO COVER! NO HASSLES! NO RIFF RAFF!

PLUS WE WILL BE DRAWING FOR A FREE VIP WINE CLASS FOR YOU AND 4 OF          YOUR FRIENDS!

 

 

Merry Little Holidays Hottest Gifts: )

Ray's Review:

If you listen to any one that loved hip hop in the 80's to late 90's they can tell you at least ten lp's that

 

"Changed The Game."

So rather than use that cliché I will use this one.

When I Tribe Called Quest came out 25 years ago with their debut lp "people's instinctive travels and the paths of rhythm"....they effectively started playing chess to many other emcee's "checkers."

"Quest" was smooth, really used obscure jazz horns over drums.

Listening to A Tribe Called Quest is like listening to a block party with all nerds.....in fact Tribe is one of the reasons the nerds took over and remain the coolest and hippest people in many social circles.

So with that said.

The good people at http://getondown.com/album.php?id=18029 are releasing
Peoples Instinctive...45 Boxset (8 X 7 Inch Singles.)

8 of the singles from the LP that...(you guessed it)...CHANGED THE GAME (sometimes you can't escape the RIGHT cliché.)

A TRIBE CALLED QUEST PARTNERS WITH GET ON DOWN TO RELEASE A LIMITED-EDITION, 25TH ANNIVERSARY “45s BOX” REISSUE [ON EIGHT 7-INCHES] OF THE GROUP’S 1990 DEBUT, “PEOPLES’ INSTINCTIVE TRAVELS AND THE PATHS OF RHYTHM”

Ships early December

25th Anniversary deluxe “45s Box” was created in collaboration with the group and is a vinyl companion piece to Tribe’s Anniversary celebration.

Set contains:

• 1,000 HAND-NUMBERED VINYL SETS
• EIGHT BLACK VINYL “SMALL HOLE” 45s WITH PICTURE SLEEVES
• 45s ARE HOUSED IN A DELUXE, FABRIC-WRAPPED CARRYING CASE, WITH 360-DEGREE ORIGINAL ALBUM ART
• INCLUDES ONE BONUS SONG, “IF THE PAPES COME (REMIX),” AS WELL AS THREE TRACKS ONLY INCLUDED ON ORIGINAL CD AND CASSETTE PRESSINGS (NOT LP)
• 14” x 21” POSTER FEATURING ORIGINAL ALBUM ARTWORK
• AUDIO USED FOR THIS EDITION IS NEWLY REMASTERED BY BOB POWER (ORIGINAL ALBUM ENGINEER AND MIXER) AND A TRIBE CALLED QUEST

Anyone that is into great music and genuine hip hop with love this...they will love you more for getting them this once in a life time (or at least once every 25 years) swag.

Blues Rock Artist Joe Bonamassa To Rock The Trop May 20th

On Friday, May 20, 2016, the talented musician, singer and songwriter will bring his live concert tour to Tropicana Atlantic City.

This one-night-only engagement is in support of Bonamassa’s two most recent projects: live CD/DVD and CD/Blu-ray Set Live At Radio City Music Hall, recorded and filmed at New York’s most iconic and hallowed stage, and his first all original studio album, last year’s highly acclaimed Different Shades Of Blue which debuted at #8 on Billboard’s Top 200 and was Joe’s highest charting album, first top 10, and biggest sales week in his career.
Backed by a stellar band of legendary musicians including Anton Fig (drums), Michael Rhodes (bass), Reese Wynans (piano, Hammond organ), Lee Thornburg (trumpet, horn arrangements), Paulie Cerra (saxophone), and background singers to bring a whole new life to the show which will feature new songs alongside career-spanning favorites.
As Joe Bonamassa enters his 26th year as a professional musician, he continues to blaze a remarkably versatile artistic trail, and amass an authentic, innovative and soulful body of work. Fans won’t want to miss the opportunity to see him live in the Tropicana Showroom. Show time is 9 p.m. and doors open at 8 p.m.
Tickets to see Joe Bonamassa at Tropicana are priced at $149, $129, $99, $89 and $79. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster at www.ticketmaster.com or via phone at 1.800.745.3000, or at the Tropicana Box Office.

Give Your Dream and Your Future 1 Hour A Day!

Today I want to begin with an excerpt from a poem!

 

 

Time...

The One Thing That You Never
Get Back In Life
The Hours You Spend

Sleeping

Arguing

Making Some One Else Rich

8 hours a day

5 days a week

is TIME

you will never get back

 

Dear Reader
Give Your Dreams

One Hour A Day
Take an hour's wage

and put it on that trip to your favorite

Beach where they serve the fruity drink with umbrellas in the glass

while you sit by the pool

and wonder what the poor bloggers

do when it's cold in New Jersey

 

Give Your Dreams

an Hour A Day

 



 

 

 

 

 

I confess.
I have been GUILTY and sometimes still GUILTY!

I see people MARCHING on TV.
Wearing hoodies on instagram.
And I start complaining that giving money and boycotting would be better.
And please trust me...I believe that money and boycott's are the more potent weapons for peace and change.

However.
Never let anyone mock or be little YOUR movement!
Never let anyone make light of YOUR ACTION or YOUR SACRIFICE.

Here are 2 reasons to continue...in what ever movement you believe in whether you are marching, singing, writing, saving, fighting for justice, peace, a better future.

 

1.There are no magic bullets anyway.
There is no March nor No One Boycott that will undo all the wrong in this world.
So start with a facebook protest and call for justice.
Let that be the beginning of your fight for truth.

There is no one book that will bring you success...so start with being successful with in YOUR CIRCLE of influence.

2. Like the picture says.
ONE HOUR OF DOING ANYTHING....

BEATS 24 HOURS OF DOING NOTHING AT ALL....

Question Of The Day: Are There Real opportunities For Young People IN Atlantic City?

In my late 20's I moved from AC to EAST ORANGE, NJ. My mother had a S*&% fit...but it was the best thing I ever did getting away from AC.

I still looked out for my home town while I was gone. In fact every opportunity I gained, I did my best to share with the young people I left...because I never left them behind.

I left in the 1990's and now it is 2015.

Atlantic City still have one major newspaper, The Press Of Atlantic City. The alternative paper The AC Weekly is also owned by The Press Of AC.

There are NO Black owned radio stations. There are only two stations that play anything close to Black, hip hop or soul music. Neither have any people of color on staff (that I know of.)

To the best of my knowledge there are only two African American on air hosts in The AC area.

However, I know of several intelligent, great minds that ARE making great contributions to the media and also to the world at large. All if not most however, are finding their success outside of Atlantic City!

So here's my question(s)

ARE THERE REAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN ATLANTIC CITY, NJ IN 2015-2016?

IF SO CAN YOU PLEASE IDENTIFY THE FIELDS OPEN AND THAT YOUNG PEOPLE CAN LOOK TO?

IS THERE A WAY TO DEVELOP SOME INDUSTRIES HERE THAT WOULD ATTRACT THE BEST PEOPLE FROM OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY? (BECAUSE I AM TIRED OF ATLANTA TAKING ALL OF OUR GREAT YOUTH, BUT I URGE THEM TO LEAVE AC FOR THEIR OWN GOOD)

IF YOU ARE ONE OF THE PEOPLE THAT LEFT AC? IS THERE ANY THING THAT WOULD MAKE YOU COME BACK TO STAY?

Hug and Artist Today

 

Every day as artists we sacrifice for you, our family, other artists and future artists.

Yes we do what we do because we can and we should and sometimes...we are haunted until we create in the present world what is running rampant in our minds.

However...here are 5 great reasons to hug an artist of any kind today...

#5 Some of that talent and inspiration may rub off on you.

#4 If your "huggin" has the right magical/spiritual "stuff"...you will inspire the artist.

#3 While buying a book, CD, download, picture is ALWAYS appreciated and needed.... HUGS have been known to help me make it til the next check book opens.

#2 Facebook, Instagram and Twitter still have NOTHING on human contact....

#1 Reason To Hug An Artist Today.....Because YOU Can.
The forecast for Atlantic City today is BRIGHT and BEAUTIFUL...and where ever you are...YOU ARE ALIVE to read this and share in the day with some one.

To put it another way...there are people in hospital beds today that would love to be able to share a hug with some one....(and why not an artist)

God Bless Us All....
