New Update on Metro Crash - FROM WTOP

WASHINGTON - At least one person has died and several people are trapped and injured after a Metro Red Line train derailed and collided with another Metro train, officials say.

The six-car train derailed and then collided with another train between the Takoma Park and Fort Totten stations around 5 p.m. Monday.

The trains are "lodged on top of one another," D.C. Fire and EMS spokesman Alan Etter says.

Crews are on the scene working to free several people who are trapped in the trains, Etter says.

"We have to make this car stable enough for firefighters to get people out of there," Etter says.

The train was headed toward the Shady Grove station at the time of the accident, which occurred near the Maryland-D.C. border.

Etter tells WTOP rescue crews are setting up for the "possibility of a mass casualty event."

All area hospitals have been advised to expect patients, Etter says.

Metro is advising that people avoid the Red Line for the rest of the day.

Trains are operating between Glenmont and Brookland and between Shady Grove and Brookland stations and from Glenmont to Takoma stations for the remainder of the day.

WTOP has a reporter en route to the scene and will have more information as it becomes available. javascript:void(0)

MORE NEW SUBSTANTIAL & KOKAYI!!!

Peace folks...

Here's a little we dropped just in time for father's day. Enjoy and pass it on.



Here’s a special Father’s Day dedication to all you patriarchs out there.

New-Daddy Substantial enlists the talents of local DMV artists Gods’Illa and QN5 labelmate Kokayi to expound on the art of being a papa in 2009. This track was produced by Marcus D. (of “Day In The Life (f/ Steph)“ fame) and is taken directly from their forthcoming Japanese-Only collaborative album, Jazzmatic (Music To Take Your Breath Away), due out this fall on Tamashie Creations/Elevation Records. In the meantime, tell your baby mama we said ‘whuttup’.

You gotta love it...

Public Service Announcement: Substantial...

Downloaded this track yesterday, and was not disappointed by this remix! I was such a huge, fan of the original track(and Daft Punk), the good folks over at QN5 made sure artistic integrity was held high in this regard, and the result is a banger...

In case you folks missed. I appreciate the love and support. Sorry for the late email.



Substantial & Chew Fu were recently commissioned to retool Daft Punk’s “Make Love” by popular music blog Sheena Beaston for a collaborative project to remix the entirety of the Human After All album. Remix After All was created when 10 popular and acknowledged music blogs got together to create an unofficial remix album for public distribution, each choosing a producer they think would fit best to remix their chosen song. The result here is salaciously smooth “refix” with Substantial taking the reins vocally as he waxes poetic on the topic of love, underscored by Chew Fu’s expert-texturing of the original Daft Punk melody with soulful saxophone riffs. This is a treat any Daft Punk/QN5 fan will appreciate.

Public Service Announcement: Soulstice

What’s the word?

Being an independent artist, I have a lot of music-related job titles. Of those, my most coveted is that of “artist.” For the last few years, I’ve gotten to be an artist creating and executing my artist vision. The latest result of that process is my upcoming album “Beyond Borders.” Now I have to put some different, business and marketing-related hats on and try to get someone to actually buy my work. So, sorry in advance if the next few emails have a marketing flavor to them. Just know that I believe in what I’m trying to sell you, so it’s not like I’m knocking on your door with girl scout cookies or vacuum cleaners. That said…

“Beyond Borders” drops in a few short weeks yall! It’s available right now for pre-order here:

“Chi Worldwide Remix” featuring Naledge from Kidz in the Hall and G.O.O.D. Music artist GLC

listen here: www.myspace.com/soulstice


"Chi Worldwide" is the starting point for "Beyond Borders," just as Chicago was the starting point for my music career. It's crazy to think about the summers we used to spend playing basketball and chasing girls while I'm touring overseas or going to the Grammys with my wife on my arm. G.O.O.D Music artist GLC and Naledge from Kidz in the Hall join me on this one. Naledge and I have been traveling in the same circles for several years, but my man Matt from MAC Media put us back in touch for this remix. I met GLC about a year ago when I interviewed him for a hip hop website. He was so cool, I knew we'd end up collaborating on something. The original version of this song made GLC's mixtape, so I'm hoping he played for Kanye at some point!



peace --
