Welcome to the newly revamped Nonsense Records Blog!




In addition to our main website, this blog will serve as your go-to spot for all things Nonsense- upcoming shows and events that you need to know about, hip hop news ranging from happenings in Orlando all the way up to a global scale, and other points of interest that we just feel like sharing with you. We'll also be sharing some treats here, including artist interviews, videos, audio, and more...

For those of you who are reading this entry from some remote, arctic location, take heed: Orlando has no shortage of talent and and dope events taking place on a continuous basis. If you weren't aware of this and you're reading this blog IN Orlando, hang your head in shame...or, get hip to the slew of events that are taking place in the immediate, immediate future.

First up, we've got Battle of the Elements, the now-legendary annual event put on by Elements at University of Central Florida this Saturday, November 17. Here, you can read...

This is an event that has been the stomping grounds for pretty much every player in Orlando's hip hop scene for the past 5+ years. Last year's number of attendants was somewhere close to 800, and I've heard that they are anticipating 1000 this year. It's free, it's all night, and there's really no good excuse not to go.

While it's pretty much a given that you and your friends are going to congregate in the parking lot for AT LEAST an hour afterwards talking about the battles that transpired, why limit yourselves? The very next day,
Sunday November 18, Nonsense Records will be hosting the latest in its Yes Yes Y'all Event Series, the Hip Hop Park Jam.

On the complete opposite tip of the preceding night's theme, there will be NO battling whatsoever (except for the occasional, to-be-expected hot dog eating throwdown)- it's just a breezy, cool day in the park. DJ Sureshot of The Tablehogs and DJ Rod-1 will be holding it down, and there'll be kids, graffiti, breakdancing, and more. Oh, and did we mention it's
free?!? You hip hop heads' wallets get a welcome weekend break with these events (because we know you're broke from actually buying records, right?!?

There's a lot more coming down the road, but we'll let you chew on that for a minute. Thanks for reading the first of many more informative blogs to follow....
