For the past 10 years or so, I’ve been (consistently) bumping a lot of indie and unsigned music, everybody knows that. In that 10 years, ONE group has consistently stood out to me and always kept me tuned in to anything they released (it’s hard to keep my attention for that long). Pacific Division (Pac Div) is their name, and I’ll be damned if you can find another trio where the three emcees compliment each other as perfectly as they do. Members Like, BeYoung and Mibbs are each severely under-rated and not given nearly as much as attention as they should be. I hope this post will encourage you to get to Googlin’.
As many of you may know, aside from running this site, I manage a Hip Hop duo out of Brockton, MA, by the name of Notoriety (whose EP, “Well Rested” (Produced entirely by GxWay) releases 5/5/13). I’ve been with them professionally for about 4 years now, but have been friends for an easy 10. They’re big Pac Div fans as well so when we got word the Div was on tour and hitting Boston, we found a way to book it. We’ve hit a fair amount of big milestones the past few years but this event was an added bonus. The show is on Monday, 4/8 at the Middle East in Cambridge, MA.
Once the show was booked, I felt it necessary to call the #1 meet and greet location/shoe store in Boston, the good people over at Laced. My personal favorite brand out of Boston, Society Original Products (whom Pac Div are also fans of) also assisted with bringing the event to life. DropTheR.net has just hit the big 1-year mark of being an official site and we had to celebrate. It’s crazy what can happen when you work hard enough. Not only did we get Notoriety to open, but also arranged a meet and greet at Laced with the Div before the show! DropTheR, dreams coming to life. LONG STORY SHORT: Bring yo’ ass to Laced on Monday, 4/8 from 5-7pm and meet Cali’s dopest trio, Pac Div. THEN, come to the show later that night (doors open at 7pm, tickets are $15).
