5.0

Hello Friends-

It's a celebration! The Ivey League has reached 50 posts and 5,000 views since our inception less than 3 months ago. Funny Right? Yeah, we know, but we have decided that EVERY landmark, no matter what the scale, should be celebrated.

In commemoration of THIS landmark event, we would like to honor the vision of an individual AND his friends/artists, who are currently changing the face of the industry in an amazing way.

As you know (and if you don't, don't tell anyone), the record executive, entrepenuer, and visionary Damon Dash has been in the industry for a long time. Throughout his run, he has paid a major contribution to the culture of the Hip Hop community. Because of his more recent absence in the media, it may seem to some, as though he has been out of the game, but that couldn't be farther from the truth. As always, he has been building a new empire, while more importantly, refusing to conform. He's still Dame.
Without attempting to explain his creation, if you: 1. Watch the video below; 2. Download the live BLU ROC festival tape located under the video; and while the mixtape is downloading, 3. Visit http://www.creativecontrol.tv/www/, I guarantee you will appreciate their new wave. The DD172 team is changing the game...so to Dame and the whole crew: we salute.
