I had the privilege to rock with the Roots2Rap crew last night for a bit.  For those of you that are unfamiliar, I spent a steady four years on the radio with Basementalism and being on-air is one of the most comfortable places that I can find myself. Jay Meezy and crew came at me [...]

Jay-Z :: NY-Z (Absolut collaboration documentary)

  I can’t think of a better way to kick off the week with a 15-minute Jay-Z documentary hosted by Absolut Vodka‘s marketing team. I think watching this nice, short mini documentary may make missing the Hova show this evening in my city a bit more bearable. Ehh… maybe not.  The John Mayer appearance ruined [...]
