August 13, 2016
Nardwuar interviews might include a gift of some James Brown work to an interviewee, but not the James Brown, right? No way. Waaay dude. Way true! Before he left this level of vibration, Soul Brother No. 1 sat down with our favorite Serviette. An interview like NONE ever done by Nard before and a must watch!

Atlanta (New Teasers)
August 12, 2016
Donald Glover. Not sure whether he will show more Childish or Gambino in his new FX series, “Atlanta” (premiering September 6, 2016). But he certainly is mobbing us with a gang of mini-trailers for it. Six of them. Start with the first above, and continue with the rest after the jump.
Glover’s character in the show is Earnest, aka Earn Marks. The story opens with his return to Atlanta and his discovering that his cousin is now the city’s most popular new rapper.

Big Piph – “Burning Embers” (Suitcase Session) [Video]
August 12, 2016
If you are a regular partaker of the greatness on this site, then perhaps you are familiar with my Arkansas bredren Big Piph (some know him as Epiphany, all good). If you are a first-timer or ‘infrequent flyer’ or just unfamiliar… click on the name or do a search on here for all the dope stuff dude does on AND off the mic. World traveler, Hip-Hop Ambassador (for real, for the U.S. Embassy no less), dope music collaborator, and much more. If you need to catch up on your Big Piph knowledge, do that. But definitely catch this “Burning Embers” jam he put down. Dope video!
Suitcase Session #7 Big Piph performs “Burning Embers” from his 3rd full length album “I Am Not Them.” Along with the rest of the crowd at last Hot Water Hills Music Festival, I was blown away by his performance with full band Big Piph & Tomorrow Maybe. He released his 4th full-length album “The Legacy Project” this month and is always active in strengthening the community by helping coordinate great educational programs such as Global Kids-Arkansas and Books & Bagels.

Dirt Disciples – “Hologram” (Prod. By DJ Concept)
August 12, 2016
It has been said, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” Now, I don’t know if New York’s Dirt Disciples (Rome Clientel & DJ Concept) hung out tough with KXNG Crooked, Prodigy, Nature, Reek Da Villian or any of the other dope cats that made the “Opportunity Knox” LP this time around for Volume 3. But this DJ Concept beat though, there’s proof of one above-average producer doing work for a helluva emcee! Hell, their “Hologram” contribution to the project might make Dirt Disciples part of the others’ five.

Cuba’s Skate Culture (Trailer)
August 11, 2016
When you look at the parallels between cultures, you learn more about yours as well as theirs. Cuba’s burgeoning skate culture came about as the poor people there becoming practioners, doing their thing in the park, with other people there loving and nurturing something of their own right where it is happening, and the outside world recognizing its beauty and coming to partake. Sounds like Hip-Hop’s beginnings, right? Cuba skate culture is evolving in a way we recognize. Salute! They did not ‘invent’ skating per se, but this is their own flavor. Get a taste of Cuba’s skate scene with the trailer above from VICE SPORTS.
Cuba’s skate scene has no funding, very few resources and not much to speak of in terms of a skate park. But despite those obstacles scene is growing, thanks in part to organizations like Cuba Skate and the kids that want to see it furthered. We travelled with Ishod Wair, Lucien Clarke, Andrew Reynolds and special guest photographer Arto Saari to see the best skate spots that the country has to offer and take note of a vibrant underground skate scene on the verge of change.

Fashawn Joins Snoop Dogg On ‘GGN’ (Video)
August 11, 2016
When you are on GGN with Uncle Snoop, you ARE busy! You don’t take calls… UNLESS it’s your moms… AND she REALLY wants to talk to Snoop Dogg… and ‘put one in the air’ with The Doggfather. Hahaaaa! Well played Nephew Fashawn.
Most of you probably recognize Fashawn from XXL’s 2010 Freshman Cover, but now you have the chance to get to know him on an elevated level as he sits down with Snoop Dogg to talk about music, weed, sex, and more on the newest episode of GGN.
But YOOOOOOO! The Stormy Fronts from Frankfurt on here! She says it’s ‘HOT and WET’ in Germany! You may not know what she’s saying, but you feel her (or want to). And check out Fashawn’s “The Ecology” (still moving on that).

The “Digable Planets” Align at Saturn in Birmingham (Concert Footage & Show Recap)
August 11, 2016
The classic album Reachin (A New Refutation of Time & Space) was released in 1992/1993. This was an iconic year for me because I graduated high school in 1993. At this point I was a bonafide lover of Hip Hop and the Digable Planets helped to make that love stronger with this classic work. The only problem was at that time I lived in Montgomery and there was no way that the Brooklyn trio would be doing a show in the capital city of Alabama.
Fast forward 23 years and I continue to love Hip Hop and now even meet & interview artists that I love. While back home in Montgomery visiting family the planets align for me literally. I see that a show is listed to rock in Birmingham, AL an hour away Wednesday July 20th. Without hesitation I purchase ticket online hop in the ride 65 N bound to finally see one of my favorite groups live.

Hacksaw Ridge (“Believe†Trailer)
August 9, 2016
Mel Gibson is getting back into Tinsel Town through the front door (starring in “Blood Father”) AND behind the camera as director of this World War II epic “Hacksaw Ridge.”
HACKSAW RIDGE is the extraordinary true story of Desmond Doss [Andrew Garfield] who, in Okinawa during the bloodiest battle of WWII, saved 75 men without firing or carrying a gun. He was the only American soldier in WWII to fight on the front lines without a weapon, as he believed that while the war was justified, killing was nevertheless wrong. As an army medic, he single-handedly evacuated the wounded from behind enemy lines, braved fire while tending to soldiers and was wounded by a grenade and hit by snipers. Doss was the first conscientious objector awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor.

This intense trailer is called “Believe.â€
