Raekwon Speaks On His Current Involvement With Jay-Z’s ‘MCHG’, Ol Dirty Bastard, and More (Video)
July 8, 2013
Montreality interviews are always insightful, well worth watching. This one with Raekwon does not disappoint either. Some of the usual topics (his fav books, next project) were addressed by the Chef, including some ODB memories (as was asked of RZA during his Montreality sit-down). But the big “scoop” in this episode was some foreshadowing of Raekwon’s involvement with Jay-Z’s latest straight-to-Samsung release: “Magna Carter Holy Grail.” (available on iTunes July 8, 2013).

July 5, 2013
You already know the very capable dance floor flow of one Janelle Monáe. Incredible! But this video Emotion Picture stars the chocolate R&B knockout turning it loose. Doing her “Dance Apocalyptic” like she’s doing it for TV (per the vision of director Wendy Morgan). You can get “Dance Apocalyptic” and pre-order “The Electric Lady” album on iTunes.
(Oh… by the way… Breaking News: There are zombies in Atlanta! And now, back to our off the chain show!)

Talib Kweli – “Hamster Wheel†(Video)
July 2, 2013
“How she running the streets but always standing still? She need to get up off the hamster wheel.”
– Talib Kweli
It’s almost cliche to say that a Talib Kweli cut goes deep… but it’s still true. And this video for “Hamster Wheel†off the BK emcee’s “Prisoner Of Conscious” LP conveys his deep sad-but-true message vividly. Here’s a link to an earlier post for the LP download.
