Roc Marciano – “Warm Hennessy” (EP)
Roc’s project “Warm Hennessy” is right there at the intersection of album, compilation/mixtape, and EP… But since he calls it an EP on Bandcamp… an EP it is. Plus, good Hip-Hop it is.
Tory Lanez – “Pa MÔ feat. Ozuna (Video)
It’s Hip and you can dance Hop to it. But it’s something just to the left of all that. Dope though. Check out “Pa MÔ (out on iTunes now).
Tory wraps his velvety R&B falsetto around a sleek reggaetón beat.

Kasai – “Pretty Boys” feat. Joey Bada$$ (Video)
Ha! Thinking Joey stole grub off A$AP Rocky’s plate this go ’round… Isn’t Rocky the one that calls himself the ‘pretty m***erf*cker’ though? Dope alt-pop sound from Kasai accented by the Bada$$ bars peppered on there.
Pretty Boys is the first release from London singer/songwriter Kasai. Starting out writing music in her bedroom just over a year ago, things have come together quickly for the young artist. The song was written in response to her female friends’ experiences on the dating scene. Her long-standing friend Joey Bada$$ heard of the track online and was quick to request a featuring moment.
Dom Kennedy – “Addicted To The Underground” (Album)
New Dom Kennedy album. Check that… FREE streaming for the new “Addicted To The Underground” album by Dom Kennedy. Yeah, you’re welcome!
Lie Detector: Wiz Khalifa (Video)
So according to this, he’s a good breather (bet you know what he ‘breathes’ in a lot *wink*), good at being calm, and good at ‘snitching on himself’… Hahaaa! Well, the polygraph will do that.
Wiz Khalifa takes a lie detector test for Vanity Fair. Does he really spend $10K a month on weed? Who smokes more, Wiz Khalifa or Snoop Dogg? Does he like Biggie more than Tupac? Does he believe in free will?
– Vanity Fair
Great questions for this forum. But a whole lot more elaboration/conversation than a real lie-detector test. I know. Trust.

Will Smith Mentored His Brother Law On Making The Best Films And The Best Version Of Himself (Video)
Will Smith taught his wife Jada’s brother (Caleeb Pinkett) to make a movie. Like a life course. First on the agenda… get a six-pack!!
(Even if you don’t want six-pack abs, or to be a scriptwriter or filmmaker, WATCH this. It’s deep! Fun, but deep.)

Comedy: John Oliver On ‘Gene Editing’ As A Cure-All Or The Thing That Kills Us All (Video)
Bwaahahaa! Only John could work 30-foot wolves and ‘crunchy rectums’ into a futurist topic discussion. Okay, John. Gene editing is that topic… GO!
Scientists are developing new ways to alter the genetic code of living organisms. John Oliver explores the risks, rewards, and wolf-related hazards of gene editing.

Ice Cube Talks About ‘Big3’ Season 2 & Passing His White House Invitation To Partner Michael Rapaport (Video)
For some reason, EVERY time I see Ice Cube I hear MC Serch rap, “Would use the F-word, but Ice Cube got the copyright…”
Well, though I’m sure Cube will still drop an F-bomb, he just doesn’t seem like that dude to me anymore. And that’s a good thing, because he’s so much more to the community: emcee, actor, producer/director/filmmaker, entrepreneur, and Big3 founder!

– Breakfast Club Power 105.1 FM
I’m slipping though. Didn’t know that Big3 season 2 was already here. As an emcee we all admire would say of that, “Once again it’s on!”

Comedy: Which Shoe Brand Is The Best? (Video)
I mean… I’m not even a ‘shoe fiend’ like that, but I enjoyed this… mainly for the shots these guys take at each other (ha)! Another great SquADD debate.

Artifacts – “Art Of Facts” (Video)
If you were blessed enough to be around and up on things in the 90’s, you recognize Tame One and El Da Sensei as a couple of the greatest of the Golden Era’s offerings. So, the return of the Artifacts in this form (and forum) should be cause for celebration. While you are cheering, let the folks around you know why. Play this “Art Of Facts” if they need more than your bond word on it.
Oh yeah. They have a bundle dropping soon.

Could Ant-Man Be The Most Powerful Avenger? (Video)
This one is more [theoretical] science than science fiction, and I will tell you in advance… I did not get it (even after the second watch) totally. But that last ‘outtake’ point that Kyle makes… I got that the first time! In fact, me and @RealSuperKing were talking about the ‘mass problem’ on “Ant-Man” in a different way while back: When he gets super-tiny, but retains his mass, wouldn’t he crack anyone’s arm he ran up?? SCIENCE!!
When you think of powerful Avengers, you probably think of Hulk or Thor, but should we be considering Ant-Man too? Kyle has the quantum realm science on this week’s “Because Science”!
This ep is awesome to watch. Now, do NOT let all this ruin your movie-watching experience. I won’t. In fact, I’m hoping to see an ‘easter egg’ in the “Ant-Man And The Wasp” movie that hints at Ant-Man giving Thanos the business… and saving the world #InfinityWars #HelpUsScottLang #MaybeOurOnlyHope

Recently Elected U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Is Ready To Take On Any ‘Trumpsters’ (Video)
Ha! President Trump and his ilk might not be ready for Alé From The Block.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Donald Trump might both be from New York City, but she doesn’t think he knows to deal with a girl from the Bronx.
– The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
And ahhh… Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a self-described Democratic Socialist (just posted about that affiliation here).

Watch Elders Read And React To J. Cole’s Lyrics (Video)
Interesting. It looks like most of these ‘older heads’ actually pick up what J. Cole is putting down!
(Most of them… there are some haters in the clip above.)

Racist History Of American Medicine (Documentary Short)
You don’t have to tell me about racism in medicine and research. I. Am. From. Tuskegee, Alabama! Watch the video and you will learn why that matters, too.
People of color in the U.S. have endured centuries of abuse in the name of science. It’s time we stop celebrating this blatantly racist history.

Comedy: QB Tavaris Jackson Caught The Gun Charge, But Wifey Fired The Shots (Video)
Yeah, yeah. Sure it was a dangerous situation. But as KevOnStage will tell you, everyone lived, so we could laugh at THIS! Maaaan, Jackson’s woman’s petty level is SAVAGE… even at gunpoint! Bwaaaaahhh!

Eleven-Year-Old Artist Waris Kareem Draws On His Everyday Experiences To Produce Masterpieces (Video)
This kid is 11 years old. At 11, I was almost literally still trying to figure out the walk-and-chew-gum “art”… no way I could do amazing stuff like this back then or even now. Learn about Waris Kareem and his artwork above.

The homie Sean was out and about and needed to eat. The struggle was real but in the end… TRIUMPH… in the form of a new spot to find good food! Lean in and read up.
Announcing The Commencement Of ‘The First Purge’ (Trailer)
This prequel is the story of how The Purge got started. Anyone notice drug-dealer-turned-resistance-leader Dmitri is played by Y’Lan Noel (from Issa Rae’s HBO series “Insecure”)? Cool, right?
Interesting continuation of The Purge series’ violence-with-conscious-points. It’s out now. Go!
