Got the hookup. Like we needed another reason to get with that “Tales From The Land Of Milk And Honey” project by Foreign Exchange (out now). Phonte and Nicolay keep it pushing, only stopping long enough to drop a music video for their “Body†single. Watch above (the music, merged with the visual, and all that “Body†in there. Ah yes, Eye Candy)!
Here’s your hookup: Take this smoothed out jawn to your baby, and say, “Let’s forget the club this weekend and just chill… No ‘Netflix and’ nuthin’… just you and me.” Then click play on this jawn. And yooooo… you’re welcome.

Murs – “Mi Corazon” (Video)
November 9, 2015
Damn if these Honeys won’t be the death of Murs… especially in this one. What could have turned out like a clip from Ice Cube’s comedy “Next Friday” (when Craig was hollering at that hot Latina, Carla, but her brother Joker was not having it), actually ends much darker. This video is a different take on interracial dating; but unfortunately, racial hatred still drives the situation to the worst outcome. It’s real. A bit too real. “Mi Corazon” (translated: “My Heart”) is a powerful offering from Murs’ “Have A Nice Life” album (out now, link to our earlier post on it below).

October 30, 2015
Visuals for “The Hustlers” off the “Memoirs Of Dayne Jordan” that Dayne Jordan has kept bubbling since it dropped this summer. That, and being on tour with DJ Jazzy Jeff (executive producer for the entire album), keeps the man pretty damn busy. Takes work to live a dream. More than that…HUSTLE! Check out the visuals above. Single and album linked below when you’re ready.

Supastition – “Black Bodies” (Prod. By Praise) [Video]
October 30, 2015
@HighImpactMda @Supastition_NC Not yet will will check it once I get stationary
— Jay Force (@Jayforce) October 29, 2015
And did it get checked out? What do you think? We post only the dopest on here. Checked out and approved!
Supastition’s “Black Bodies” (produced by Praise) goes hard at America’s lack of political will and accountability, and its overall apathetic stance on unjustifiable African-American deaths at the hands of the authorities. On deck for lyrical discussion: police brutality; double standards regarding race, law enforcement and protection in the U.S.; and America’s history of decimating non-Whites.
Supastition wrote this track after reading an article on the [so-called] “moral authority of America,†when like the rest of us, he has witnessed heinous rights violations and violent deaths of unarmed Black Americans so recently. The song was brilliantly brought to video by award-winning director Will Feagins, Jr. (High Impact Multimedia) as a montage of moving stills and moving imagery to complement the straightforward lyrics and theme Supastition drives on the Praise track.
Dope work. Dope! You can get “Black Bodies” on the “Gold Standard” project from Supastition (out now).

Paris Speaks On His New “Pistol Politics” Album, Police Brutality And #BlackLivesMatter (Video)
October 29, 2015
I’m not really a proponent of “Hands Up, Don’t shoot.”
I’m on the “You Shoot, We Shoot” page.
– Paris
The Black Panther of Hip-Hop. Whew, 25 years, and he is still talking armed revolution. Though his rhetoric is toned down just a touch, it is still that of a man on fire. He talks up the line up of guest appearances on his album (like Dead Prez, Chuck D and Kam) that spit righteous revolutionary fire on “Pistol Politics,” too. Apropos for these times of inadequate education, rampant poverty, police brutality and more afflictions affecting our community #BlackLivesMatter
Click Here For Paris’ commentary continues [with views on gun violence] after the jump below….
