I-Octane & Chan Dizzy (Video) – ‘Til Kingdom Come’
Now the name of the track did turn some people off but the lyrics from I-Octane and Chan Dizzy are very wicked. We featured this song on the ‘Face Off Friday January 2012′ promo mix and with all the attention in the Dancehall community from these two artists, they wasted no time to shoot a video. The visuals of the storyline speak for themselves but listen closely to the 2nd Verse where the artists go back/forth, kinda ILL!

I-Wayne – Drug & Rum Vibe (Video)
For those who ‘STILL’ run jokes about how I-Wayne was pop down in most of the 2000′s, I must really point out how his latest album Life Teachings is REALLY DOPE. This is a good modern HD video for one of his bouncy songs off the album. With this track the message is still consistent with his overall image, and yeah, looks like he’s been eating good so no more jokes!

Inner Circle – Young, Wild & Free feat. I-Octane & Bizerk (Video)
This is the Reggae Remix of Young Wild & Free, made originally by Wiz Khalifa, Snoop Dogg and Bruno Mars. The Bad Boys of Reggae, Inner Circle, I-Octane and Bizerk do a great job with the cover and even thou the video is simple, it still shows quality and the lighter side of all three artists.

President Barack Obama Sings ‘Sweet Home Chicago’ During Blues Night at The White House (Video)
You can see it in President Obama’s facial expression that when he gets the urge to sing in public he just wants to let loose but restrains himself. First doing it up with Al Green at the Apollo & now singing “Sweet Home Chicago” with Blues legends like B.B. King at the White House….This is hilarious!

Cam Newton x AraabMuzik Are Rocking For Under Armour (Video)
Atlanta native & Carolina Panthers starting Quarterback Cam Newton & dope producer & instrumentalist AraabMuzik link up with Under Armour for this new add that just hit the web. The video tries to convey that “Killer Cam” owns the club & ill producer AraabMuzik is his official DJ. But this “Club” wasn’t one of your average ATLNightSpots, but it’s the arena in which he plays transforming into “SuperCam” every Sunday during the NFL season. Check out some behind the scenes video & insight behind the shoot below….

Yasiin Bey – N*ggas In Poorest (Video)
I like Mos Def Yasiin Bey’s version of Kanye & Jay’s “N*ggas In Paris” song quite possibly because one of my favorite artists not only displays his superior skills but he’s really saying something meaningful. Check out this new video for the mixtape track from the artist formerly known as Mos Def created by Yasiin Bey himself, Set Free and Andre Cole for Fellowship Mission. Dopeness!

Diddy Announces REVOLT Music and News TV Network (Video)
“Sean “Diddy” Combs announces REVOLT, his new cable TV network. REVOLT is a revolution in music on television, a place where artists and their viewers come together and engage with technology and social media. It’s a channel where new artists can share their work in the way it was meant to be: raw, uncut, and uncensored. REVOLT was selected by Comcast to be the first music network to truly leverage the power of social media, fueling the live music dialogue and influencing the music culture for the video-centric generation.” – REVOLT

With Planet Asia’s full length Lp Black Belt Theatre on the horizon P.A Medallions teams up with DJ and sometime emcee Doo Wop to release this free mixtape entitled The Arrival. This is just a prelude with the likes of Krondon, Rasco, Tristate, and Killer Ben serving guest verses. Enjoy the jamz…

Ski Beatz feat. C Plus – “Heaven Is” (Video)
This is the 4th video single from kung fu beat sensei Ski Beatz off his 24 Hour Karate School Presents:Twilight. This is a jazzy joint with newcomer C Plus letting you know what “Heaven Is” to him over melodic horns and smooth bass lines. Ski Beatz shows why he has been one of the most consistent (and one of the most slept on) producers in hip hop over the last 15 years. Make sure you cop this joint and keep it in heavy rotation. New producers take note, get in the dojo, and in the words of Dragonfly Jones and “practice on ya art “!!!

Classic Clips: Happy Bornday Nina Simone! (February 21,1933)
This is one of my many favorites from the one of the greatest jazz musician/songwriters, who was the embodiment of “Black is Beautiful”, Nina Simone (February 21,1933-April 21,2003). Although she wasnt traditional jazz, nor did she have the tradional smooth jazz/lounge voice like Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington,or Ella Fitzgerald but check the linear notes of any of your favorite hip hop albums and you will see her joints credited for samples everywhere. Heads knew muscially Nina Simone would “Put a Spell on You”.

Marley (Film Trailer)
Directed by Kevin MacDonald (The Last King of Scotland, State of Play), it is a documentary on the life, music, and legacy of legendary Jamaican singer-songwriter and musician, Bob Marley. The film was premiered at the 2012 Berlin Film Festival and set to hit SXSW Festival next month March 8th – 13th 2012 in Austin, Texas.
It is the first feature backed by the Marley family as well as the legend’s longtime music label head Chris Blackwell which should make for the most insightful look at his life yet as it follows “the musician, revolutionary and legend from his earliest days to his rise to international superstardom” using rare footage, archival photos and incredible performances and interviews with his family, friends and bandmates. Blackwell executive produces alongside Marley’s son, Ziggy.” – BOBMARLEYARCHIVE
Cormega, Action Bronson, Roc Marciano, & Saigon form new supergroup “M.A.R.S.” (Video)
This should be an interesting new group to form with Mega, Action Bronson, Roc Marciano, & Saigon joining forces…. I’m interested in seeing with the brothers come up with musically….for now introducing to the world…..it’s “M.A.R.S.”
Rocksmith: I Am Kendrick Lamar (Video)

MTV Names Their Hottest Rappers In The Game For 2012 (Video)
I labeled this as “MTV’s Hottest Emcees Rappers In The Game” because not everyone on this list is an “emcee”….some are just rappers or singers. Either way it is what it is…Rap lists these days don’t hold much weight, but if you’re a real hip hop head like myself then you’ll chuckle out loud at some of things said by people on this panel. Ah well…What’d you expect from MTV & the current state of radio & rap music these days…Overall it’s just a reflection of how bad “mainstream” rap music is. There’s plenty of great music out there, but most of it ISN’T on the radio unfortunately. One thing I was surprised about was seeing the homie @BosNaud was on this panel. I haven’t looked at all the vids as of yet so I hope he represented well. Check out links to the discussion on the other candidates on “MTV’s 2012 Hottest Rappers On The Radio Payola” “MTV’s 2012 Hottest Rappers In The Game” list below….
Comedy: SNL’s Jay-Z, Beyonce, & ‘Baby Blu Ivy’ (Video)
Last night on Saturday Night Live the crew poked a little fun at Jay-Z, Beyonce, & their newborn daughter Blu Ivy. With all the media hype surrounding the birth of the hip hop couple’s kid this skit follows what it would be like if Nicki Minaj, Bon Iver (played by Justin Timberlake), Prince, Taylor Swift, & other guests stop by with well wishes. On a side note, Justin Timberlake needs to do more comedy movies or television. Dude has such a great comedic sense & is a pretty good actor…
