I love Che Grand as a friend and also as someone who makes some pretty amazing music, but even more so, I love his story.  Born in London to Nigerian parents, Che’s been repping NYC for years now and can be spotted on numerous projects, working with folks like Tanya Morgan, Jay Electronica, Donnie Goines, [...]

When I first heard The Blueprint, I hated it.  I mean, I’ve been a Jay fan since Reasonable Doubt, but I really, really fucking hated The Blueprint – even more so, I boycotted a lot of his music until The Black Album dropped.  When The Blueprint 2 dropped, I still hadn’t rekindled my love for [...]

H.O.P.E. has truly been one of my better musical finds in 2009, and I was stoked to check this video.  Big ups to showing a pretty girl in sweats in the video too. Be sure to also check out ‘Nightlife II‘ which has currently dominated my iTunes playlists (and, which I also like a LOT [...]

I refuse to wear men’s shoes.  Why, you may ask?  I’m not a man.  Pretty simple, right?  Man shoes make my feet look like my feet are on some Noah’s arc shit.  It just it’s right…. However, I may make an exception for these hot messes – the new white/black/blue Lebron VII colorway is ultra [...]

I loved ‘Hated on Mostly‘ from Crime Mob, which was released in 2004, and finally found a taste of commercial success when ‘Rock Yo Hips,’ featuring Little Scrappy hit mainstream radio airwaves in 2006.  One of the few crews that initially had multiple female counterparts, Crime Mob came correct… In later years, one-half of the [...]

I was pretty impressed with this nice little Jordan mashup of previously released Air Jordan I, II, V, VII.  Definitely hyped to see what Nike comes up with to rock the rest of the series. (via extrabutter)

Jay-Z‘s  Blueprint 3 cover and track list supposedly leaked today…I’m loving that dude has a track called Audacity of Dope – shouts to Dj Hyphen out of Seattle who runs a blog with the same name.  Whatever ‘Lucifer Pt. II’ may be, I’m going to be pretty disappointed if it isn’t straight up hot magma [...]

“If people could open their minds,” Baatin told The Times in 2000, “they could see a broader perspective of hip-hop instead of categorizing it as 95-beats-per-minute, loud snares and muffled samples. . . . It could be anything.” – Baatin, 2000. Slum Village has been one of the most prolific musical acts in my existence.  [...]

Damn, my husband Drake is having a strong of bad luck… I’m actually pretty horrified that dude was lip syncing anyway… Who does that and expects to be considered with greater credibility than say… Ashley Simpson?  See, that’s what’s nice about being under the radar – I can eat shit and no one could care [...]
