January 18, 2012
The Atlanta homie Jarren Benton is wildin’ out in this new video for “Shut Up B*tch” which was produced by ill Atlanta producer Kato. This comedic video features several cameos from cats we know here in Atlanta indy music scene like my homegirl singer & songwriter Poodie Tha Byz, but some people may find the video disturbing until you watch the clip to the very end. The song will appear on Jarren Benton’s upcoming project “Freebasing With Kevin Bacon” due in February. SMH at that album title….hahaa….Youze a fool Jarren

Honors English- “Crazay” (Produced by Needlz) [Video]
January 18, 2012
Lately I have noticed alot of people saying they cant find many good hip hop artists anymore. Well my reply has been stop waiting for someone to tell you who’s nice and start digging for some quality artists yourself or stop looking for top 40 radio stations to play some dope hip hop(sorry it wont happen).All that to say, there is alot of good hip hop out there, just got to look further than right under your nose. Case in point, the homie Honors English who has been working with artists like Lupe Fiasco and production beast Needlz. Here he drops some real creative visuals for his latest single “Crazay” off his upcoming album “State of the Art”. I have known this guy for a while and I watched him mold his craft like a technician before presenting his music to the world. This brother respects the art form and it reflects in his music. Be on the lookout for the album dropping February 22nd, it’s sure to be Crazay!!

The Colbert Report on SOPA (Video)
January 18, 2012
Check out Stephen Colbert’s satiric take on SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) legislation which, in all seriousness, we don’t support here either. We went offline like many other websites around the world to draw attention to the problem with SOPA & the PROTECT IP act. On Tuesday January 24th the U.S. Senate will vote, but you need to make your voices heard to avoid any chance that the PROTECT IP act or SOPA gets ANY chance of passing. The legislation threatens to violate the First Amendment, would censor the internet, and could threaten whistle-blowing and other free speech actions. For more information on PROTECT IP & SOPA & how you can help to make your voice heard, watch the video under the hood or click on the link below…

2012 Lingerie Bowl (Video)
January 17, 2012
I’ve heard my homegirl Serena AZ talk about Lingerie football more than most dudes do. She’s an avid sports fan & hip hop head like most of us, but I’ve yet to really catch the the novelty of lingerie football on tv at all. Probably because most of us are usually caught up into the real NFL games, but I just may have to catch this one. We all may also need to convince my homegirl Serena AZ to try out for a team next year. Y’all need to hit her up on twitter & hound her about it. Hahaaaa!

New Music: Yasiin Bey (Mos Def) – “N*ggas In Poorest”
January 16, 2012
Mos Def Yasiin Bey continues to manifest why he’s one of my favorite rappers. Skills? Check. Style all his own? Check. Not caught up into all the extra Hollywood stuff in the game? Check. Social commentary in his music? Check. Fearless? Check. Yasiin Bey goes in on Ye & Jay’s “N*ggas In Paris” record but flips it with with a message for cats caught up on their ‘thrones.’ The song is part of Yasiin’s Top 40 Underground freestyle project in which the mighty Yasiin will flip popular songs as only he could do best….

Black Thought Says MLK’s ‘Dream’ Is Almost a ‘Nightmare’ Similar to a Boondocks Episode (Video)
January 16, 2012
The team over at ALLHIPHOP caught up with The Roots frontman Black Thought who spoke about the great things about Martin Luther King Jr’s dream, but in contrast to the notion of at what cost today in 2012. I don’t disagree with Black Thought’s analogy that Aaron McGruder’s “Return Of The King” episode of The Boondocks is similar to what’s going on today with our communities. Pay attention to the interview so you can fully understand the context from which Mr. Tariq Trotter & The Wurx are speaking…
