About Tools of War grassroots Hip Hop
Tools of War, co-founded by Jorge "Fabel" Pabon and Christie Z-Pabon, was named with the idea that there are many "tools" one can use in competing/battling within Hip Hop culture: turntables, microphones, paint, one's body, and especially one's voice (and so on)! Although the name might appear aggressive, the intent behind it's use is actually to inform and educate people regarding not only Hip Hop but many other social and political issues. As we grow, we are finding that it has also become a forum for voicing opinions and sharing ideas which might help in unifying and uplifting people all over the world. Services: publicity. events. consulting. promotions. booking. most thorough grassroots Hip Hop newsletter!

Christie Z-Pabon
Tools of War, Publicist, Events Coordinator, DJ Battle Specialist, Consultant
In essence, Christie Z-Pabon's professional efforts are based on communication, unity and community. The weekly Tools of War grassroots Hip Hop Newsletter, keeping thousands informed of local, national and international events and issues, began as a simple email alerting friends about choice underground Hip Hop events going on around NYC. As a publicist specializing in Hip Hop culture, Christie Z-Pabon's e-blasts get the word out, not only to the press, but they go one step further and reach stores and individuals, overstepping the media's role as taste maker and gate keeper of information. She only accepts commissions to publicize artists, books, albums and services that Tools of War truly believes are quality and authentic. Christie Z is also the specialist you go to when you want your DJ battle or Hip Hop event done right. Her attention to detail, high standards and insistence on authenticity has led her to consult on and coordinate many of the most important DJ Battles held in the US since 1998 including the DMC US Battles 1998-2000, The Allies All-Star Beatdown, Vinyl Kombat, King or Queen of the Beat Producer Battle (with Jazzy Jay) and Roc Raida's Gong DJ Battles. Recently, she accepted returned to DMC to coordinate the 2008 DMC American Battleground and run it's branch in the USA. Christie's other passion is throwing true school Hip Hop park jams in the New York City Parks. Since 2003, she's coordinated The Crotona Park Jams (Bronx), Turntablist Sessions, Digger's Delight (Harlem) and Harlem Hop. All the jams are free to the public and are intended to restore true Hip Hop culture and the legends who kicked it off back to the NYC Parks where they first rocked!

Italian HIP-HOP History X
PER CHI HA SEMPRE DESIDERATO AVERE TRA LE MANI UN PEZZO DELLA PROPRIA STORIA
Il primo mixtape hip hop italiano dagli anni ‘90 ad oggi con i migliori mc‘s che hanno segnato una generazione.
Prodotto da Trumen Records, distribuito Self.
Selezionata da DJ FEDE
Note interne di TORMENTO
e PAOLO FERRARI
TRUMEN RECORDS e‘ fiera di presentare ITALIAN HIP-HOP HISTORY X, la prima compilation hip-hop, selezionata da dj Fede, un esperto e rodato intenditore del genere, con le note interne di Tormento, da sempre uno degli mc più rappresentativi nel panorama artistico hip hop italiano e Paolo Ferrari, una penna che sull’argomento può fare scuola.
Si deve proprio al sodalizio tra l'etichetta e dj Fede l'uscita di questa bellissima compilation, una raccolta che ci dona un'ampia panoramica sulle svariate realtà rap che hanno popolato il nostro paese a partire dagli inizi degli anni ‘90, ponendo le basi di quello che negli anni andrà rappresentando una svolta culturale, un vero e proprio fenomeno di massa.
Oltre che i nomi degli artisti più noti come Articolo 31, Fabri Fibra, Neffa, Piotta che dimostrano una forte identità senza perdere quel legame con ciò che è ed è stato l'hip-hop, questo lavoro e‘ valorizzato anche dalle collaborazioni di tanti mc‘s e gruppi di grande importanza. Insomma, ce n'è per tutti i gusti!!
