Classic Material with Keith Murray


The Classic Material family is proud to bring another legendary artist to town, in our ongoing attempt to highlight both Deejay's and MC's from the golden era and beyond. Keith Murray will be making his Pittsburgh debut as part of the "Most Beautifullest" Edition of Classic Material. Keith is most notably known for his LP "The Most Beautifullest Thing In The World" (an album that received 4 mics from the source), and his affiliation with the EPMD offshoot super group, the Def Squad. He has recently teamed up with fellow animated MC, Cannibus, to form the "Undergods", with production duties handled by Erick Sermon. Selecta and SMI set off the night with their usual blend of multi-genre classics, with crooner and all around party rocker, Gene Stovall, handling the hosting duties once again. Get ready for the "Most Beautifullest MC Tour" with Keith Murray and special guest BurntMD, hitting the Shadow Lounge on October 16th. Tickets are available at the Shadow Lounge, www.showclix.com and here at Timebomb.

If you weren't at Belvederes on Wednesday night to see the Battered Citizens reunion then I don't know what the fuck you were doing!! Brick and his band from the 80's killed it!! People came from all different walks of life to check out the legendary group return to their roots of street level hardcore. I've personally never seen them perform before and was VERY impressed! Who knew Brick was a rockstar? Check out the photos below to relive the amazing night.

Pac Div is Coming To Pittsburgh!


Rap trio Pac Div will be performing in Pittsburgh at The Shadow Lounge on Thursday, September 30 to kick off their “Underdogs Tour.”


Brothers Like and Mibbs and long time friend BeYoung make up Pac Div. All three were originally part of a larger group, Pacific Division, which released their first project Sealed For Freshness: The Blend Tape in 2006.


After releasing a host of videos, unreleased tracks (most of which have appeared on DJ Sean G’s Lever 2008 and 2009 mixtapes), Pac Div found a home with Universal/Motown Records.


They released their highly praised project Church League Champions which boosted their career. Pac Div received praise for their great lyrical content and eventually their videos for “Mayor” and “Whiplash/Young Black Male” started getting airplay on MTV. Pac Div has also been featured in many magazines such as Billboard, Rolling Stone, and The Source.


This year they released “Don’t Mention It,” their last mixtape until the release of their highly anticipated album “Grown Kids Syndrome” which comes out in the winter.


Pac Div’s show in Pittsburgh will open with performances by local rapper Nick Pratt, and The Varsity Squad (Shade Cobain x Jon Quest x Beedie), as well as Hands Down (Charon Don x DJ Huggy), and LOS & CLG.

BOB MARLEY LIVE FOREVER

The Stanley Theatre (now the Benedum Center) in downtown Pittsburgh is the last venue where Bob Marley and The Wailers performed publicly on September 23, 1980 before his passing. On September 23, 2010, exactly 30 years after that magical evening, the Marley family will come together for a live tribute concert benefiting their One Love Foundation and honoring their father. One hundred percent of the proceeds will be going to support the One Love Not-For-Profit Foundation.

The Marley family and guests will be performing the exact set list from Bob's 1980 Stanley Theatre show. Confirmed performers so far include Stephen Marley, Damian Marley, Julian Marley, Cedella Marley and The Marley girls. In addition to the Marley children The Queen Mother herself (and member of the I-3s who also performed at Bob's last show) Rita Marley will be traveling from her home in Ghana to be part of this special prestigious event. Appearing with Rita will be former I-3 member, Marcia Griffiths.

Reserved seats for this once in a life time concert are on sale now at The Benedum Center Box Office, Theatre Square Box Office (downtown Pgh), by phone at 412-456-6666 and on line at www.pgharts.org.

Married to the Mob Does Men!


Yes you heard me right!
For a long time, the ladies at Married to the Mob were very reluctant to even consider creating t-shirts for men, being such a female-empowerment centered brand. Alas, after 6 years of being at the top of the women's streetwear market, they haven't been able to ignore the increasing demand for sizes and styles geared towards the other sex. Their debut mens collection will be repped by Curren$y as you can see in the photo above. MTTM Mens will be launching on October 1.... DON'T MISS OUT!!

Mac Miller and Boaz will be returning back to Pittsburgh on October 15 for a show at Mr Smalls. We have tickets available in store at Timebomb now- so there's no excuse why you shouldn't be there.

Grind Time Battle Video Boka VS Legacy

A few weeks ago Timebomb hosted the Grind Time Battle in our basement. We've been waiting for the battles to hit the web and the first has come... BOKA VS LEGACY.

RECAP: 2nd Annual Street Art Fair


When we say everyone was here, we mean EVERYONE!

BZE and Varsity Squad killed it for the crowd

Joe Boots is showcasing the delicious Clique Vodka

You could see the crowd for the street art fair from blocks away... TBC DON'T PLAY


If you were walking down South Highland Ave on September 11 between 6pm-9pm you may have asked yourself.. WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!? Well that would have been the 2nd Annual Time Bomb Street Art Fair. Attracting well over 300 people this years show was a HUGE success. We wanted to first and foremost thank all of the 29 artists that showed their work, Arlo for curating the show, DJ Hank D for rocking the party all night and of course CLIQUE vodka for good look! Between the magical bar tending skills of the beautiful Brook to BZE/Varsity Squad performance the night couldn't have went much better. Even Blasfome a popular Pittsburgh clothing brand (
best known for its Somalia Pirates shirt) had it's Fall 10 drop that night in store. To top off the already awesome event we had some of Pittsburgh's favorite hip hop talent in and out the whole evening. If you missed out you can still checkout/buy the art HERE. Keep checking back for TONS of more pictures and of course another kick ass video from Cornelius3 productions.

Everyone at Timebomb would like to thank everyone who was involved with the show, your the best and we appreciate every single one of you.


As the newest member of Wiz Khalifa's Taylor Gang Tolly is making a name for himself in the streets of Pittsburgh and beyond. After the success of his video for the single "Bands" off his debut mixtape Underrated, Tolly is back at work on his 2nd tape which is yet to be titled. "The Fadeaway" features a banging beat from Crakk King and vocals from Mona. Follow Tolly on Twitter @TOLLYBANDZ.
