Make sure you stop by THIS SATURDAY to peep Buff Monster's New Artwork!!!

A brief photo slide show of the WU taking over San Bernardino, Ca August 21st, 2010 @ Rock The Bells

From San Bernardino, Ca 2010 Rock the Bells concert. Dedication to Old Dirty Bastard RIP. RZA told the crowd "Last time we did Rock the Bells, the whole clan was on this very stage together.. Method Man, Raekwon, U-GOD, RZA, Masta Killa, Ghost Face Killah, and the late Old Dirty Bastard" that made watching this set a lot more special that it always was. Plus they introduced OBDs Son, and he did all his fathers verses.. Real dope.

Just found the track "Average Joe" from Kendrick Lamar's upcoming O.D., which is set to drop September 15th.  Seeing him destroy The Roxy earlier this month and hearing him obliterate this song, I'm convinced he has a gun for a tongue.

Add this to the news that Jay Electronica's pushing for Act II: Patents of Nobility to drop on his birthday, the 19th, and September's looking like December.  

Thanks, Keep It Simple Stupid.  

This is part 1 of a special feature we did with Phonte & Nicolay from Foreign Exchange. They spell out the music business and why they are 100% in favor of being independent. Phonte goes through the music industry history, its relation to innovation and its outcome. Look out for part 2 where Phonte talks about Drake and part 3 where Phonte and Nicolay detail their collaboration.

Pac Div LIVE performing "Shine" from their latest mixtape Don't Mention It  at The Roxy Ft. (in her 1st performance eva) Marz Lovejoy. Unfortunately for Marz the mic was kinda off at the beginning of the performance, it still was a cool moment and an opportunity to see her vibe with the boys.

We meet some Taylor Gang members @ Rock the Bells last weekend, rocking these beautiful pieces of art..  Jeremy (on the left with the Jet Life piece) is the creator of these large diamond looking pieces that he makes some scratch. 

-crazy right?

Lauryn Hill blessed the stage with her presence, Live from San Berardino, Ca 2010 Rock The Bells. Putting on a great show for all her fans to enjoy.

U-N-I is back with a cool video for "Black Sky". It was one of my favorite tracks on A Love Supreme...glad to see some visuals to it. It's also co-starring Playboy model, Felicia Gomez.

Peep Young Versis' 1st music video (directed by Jerome D) for his debut LP, iLLCANDESCENT. Val has put us up on some of his tracks earlier on and the full album is for sale.. It's worth spending a minute to check out Versis debuts given the amount of effort he puts into the finishing of his work. He has a show opening up for Jay Electronica at the Key Club on Sep 9th. Holler at him if you're going.

Live from San Bernardino, Ca

"Oooooooo sh*t, motherf*cka, G*ddamn"

Really, not the best line to float to the surface of your brain and escape your lips while mindlessly wandering the grocery store during Retirement-Home-Residents' Shopping Hour.  

But I'm an unapologetic Lil Wayne devotee- I still rap along with his verse on "Bling Bling." (Sidebar: Did Wiz lift Weezy's laugh or what?) "Miss Me," from Drizzy's Thank Me Later, has been spinning so constantly in my rotation it's dangerously close to being spun out. 

The song's visuals, which just premiered a couple of hours ago on MTV Jams, are pretty boring; then again, I prefer my hip-hop vids clever.  

Also...isn't that vixen a little thin for Drizzy? Tell meeeeee what's really goin' on!
