Home to New Yorks premiere recording facility, The Dugout has been churning out the Brooklyn nouveau Golden Age through a voice yet unheard in hip-hop. In other words, the elite lyricism, punchy humor and devastating beats, once homed in the greatest borough, is back. Carrying the torch for The Dugout is Cavalier. Cav was raised on Brooklyn streets and uses his West Indian family's musical influence and a sharp instinct for song production to make himself known among raps most promising stars.
In 2002, Cavalier made his way into the daunting world of hip-hop battles when Jin the Emcee and other hungry challengers wanted to show and prove. Not to be outdone, Cav leapt through the Hip Hop Summit emcee battle ranks and took home the crown. His will to be a great emcee, however, prevented him from pursuing battling to the end of the road. Instead, he chose to craft his art by doing shows and appearances around the city and recording a bevy of joints to perform at
colleges and nightclubs. Cavalier was on the bill alongside Nas at Cornell University, P-Funk at Vassar College and has also shared the stage with the likes of Teairra Mari, BootCamp, and DMX prior to his return to the more traditional hip-hop spots in lower Manhattan.
The Dugout has graced The Hammerstein Ballroom, Mercury Lounge, CBGB, Southpaw, The Tank, Bowery Poetry Club, Knitting Factory and The Cutting Room in the steady stride to underground rap success. Through unorthodox and off-the-cuff showmanship, Cavalier has made a stamp on fans and the general public with flourishes of flow and a tenacious stage presence. The attention has made its way to Black Beat Magazine and a national television spot in the VH1 Freestyle59 competition, where he fired off an unforgettable freestyle for two months in the summer of 2005.
At the brink of emcee regality, Cavaliers seminal project, The Breaking, will be previewed through a series of Dugout music events. The first bash will allow the public to hear new Cavalier joints and witness firsthand the arrival of our next eminent hip-hop performer.
need a hip hop beat as a back drop to a social movement if you got it i'll craft it and send it back for a kiss then off to the people one world blessings to you and yours llysa
We must speak out on major world issues, courageously, openly and honestly, and in blunt terms of morality. If We yeild to blandishment or theats, if We compromise when no hounourable compromise is possible, Our influence will be sadly diminished and Our prestige woefully prejudiced and weakened. Let Us not deny Our ideals or sacrifice Our right to stand as the champions of the poor, the ignorant, the oppressed everywhere.
When no one upholds the cause of morality and justice for thier own sake, when the small, still voice of conscience speaks no longer, immorality and lack of principle have triumphed, and in this hisstory all of humankind is the loser.
If We raise Our voices against injustice, wherever it is found, if We demand a stop to aggression wherever it occurs and under whatever guise and brand the aggressor as such, and if We do so on a wholly impartial basis, We can serve as the collective consience of the world.
i've taken the exodus out of babylon into the unknown medicine of earth and stars out of the social shitstem into the wild, glad you are close, one, llysa

People desire many things, but it is the individual's duty and responsbilty to desire the proper things.
A noble failure may be of more value than a petty success.
Anyone who makes the wrong choices will be a burden, not only to themselves but to future generations.
though life is often short, one should live and act in such a way that their achievements will bring them and their country a good name forever. If they do not use their training for worthy ends, they will bean enemy to themselves and an obstacle to others. they will, indeed, be sick while supposedly heathy and dead while still alive.
The obligation to improve oneself does not cease simply because one has a regular job.
Simply watching other peoples achievements is a characteristic of the lazy person.
There is no person in this world who is free from lifes responsibilty.
If the wealth of a person cannot be for the general welfare, what would they gain for themself and their offspring but grudge and hatered?
A qualified person with vision, unmoved by daily selfish interests, will be led to moral decisions by their conscience......
