Renee Gardner “Come Together” (New Music)
April 27, 2016
One of the cool things about residing in Atlanta, GA is you come across so many creatives from all walks of life. Yes ATL is known for Rappers, Singers, and housewives but there are journalists, painters, photographers in abundace as well. Renee Gardner is someone I see frequently at events hosting and providing good vibes. She is also a talented singer and her latest track “Come Together” is proof of that. So check out this track but dont be surprised if you suddenly feel like you are sitting in a smoke filled Jazz Cafe watching a soulful performance. (Produced By Nate Rhodes)

Freeway – “Kodak” (Prod. By Scholito x S Frank)
April 27, 2016
Dude said, “You can save all the comments, we’re just here for the commas!” Damn, that Philadelphia Freeway is cold all over. Check out the Freezer icing over yet another track. This is that “Kodak” (maybe rename it ‘Kodiak’ like the bear; like BEAST mode emceeing)!
The track was produced by Scholito & S Frank and it also has them on the intro! On the record I’m basically letting the world know I do this… and bar for bar I’m one of the best to do it! I have a reason to ball; if it wasn’t for the pictures you wouldn’t see me at all.

“Free Will” is due out April 29, 2016.

Common x Malik Yusef x Kumasi x Aaron Fresh x Choklate x Laci Kay – “Trouble In The Water” (Video)
April 27, 2016
I know I’m supposed to help. That’s what I’m made for…
– Common
Shout to all the heads reading this who remember that Hip-Hop was a STRONG platform for social commentary; and to those who remember when performers used to posse up to magnify the message they spit. This “Trouble In The Water” song and visual is that at level 10! Press play and feel it. And if you do indeed feel it, consider signing this petition from The Hip-Hop Caucus (which produced the song and video) demanding that Rick Snyder (Governor of Michigan) create a compensation fund for Flint’s water crisis victims.

ESPN’s 30 For 30: This Magic Moment (Documentary)
April 25, 2016
Think. Really think… that is, if you remember back when Shaq and Penny Hardaway were the 1-2 punch that was supposed to take the Orlando Magic all the way to the tippy top of the NBA. Do you remember why that didn’t happen? ESPN takes us back and takes us there; to the heart of the story about when the ‘magic’ happened and when the Magic fell apart.

Jason Bourne (Official Trailer)
April 25, 2016
Remembering everything doesn’t mean you know everything.
Goooooooot daaaaaamn that one-hitter quitter though. Sidebar: You KNOW your movie is going to be MONSTER when the trailer has an intro. Bringing the action to your doorstep in the best worst way is the super-meta mega-jacked dark ops amnesiac “Jason Bourne.”
Matt Damon returns to his most iconic role in “Jason Bourne”. Paul Greengrass, the director of “The Bourne Supremacy” and “The Bourne Ultimatum”, once again joins Damon for the next chapter of Universal Pictures’ Bourne franchise, which finds the CIA’s most lethal former operative drawn out of the shadows.
For “Jason Bourne”, Damon is joined by Alicia Vikander, Vincent Cassel and Tommy Lee Jones, while Julia Stiles reprises her role in the series. Frank Marshall again produces alongside Jeffrey Weiner for Captivate Entertainment, and Greengrass, Damon, Gregory Goodman and Ben Smith also produce. Based on characters created by Robert Ludlum, the film is written by Greengrass and Christopher Rouse.

Hmmm… the visual… It’s kinda out there, but Kali Uchis is in there (esp. with those outfits…nice)!

RIP Prince
April 21, 2016
BREAKING: Publicist: Pop music superstar Prince has died at his home in suburban Minneapolis.
— The Associated Press (@AP) April 21, 2016
The Rock Soul R&B Funk Pop music world was rocked to its mantle and core today as news of the passing of a legend spread: The Purple Rocker, Prince, suddenly left this earthly plane today. Details are still being revealed, and we certainly need the time to process the information and our feelings; but we have the gist. We know, sadly, the mourning can begin.
Only now can we truly know what it will be like to hear ‘that’ Prince song/album/collection, knowing that he is no longer with us. At least with Prince… He knew… he HAD to know… that he was and will forever be loved & admired by millions; and acclaimed at every strata of the industry – casual listener to sternest critic. Hit the jump to see sentiments to that effect expressed across the Interwebs honoring and bidding farewell to the 57-year-old Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame performer.
Prince Rogers Nelson of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Born to make music, make a ruckus, and make history. What a life! You did that and lived that, Sire. Thank you blessing and bringing us along all these years. And now Your Royal Badness, rest in peace.
