Skyzoo – “Hands Folded Together” feat. eLZhi
June 19, 2015
Dope! And yes, that’s DJ Prince putting ‘hands’ on the track, too (with the loops and drums). “Hands Folded Together” (featuring eLZhi) is some more street heat from the one called Skyzoo. Consider this a ‘digital bonus’ track, as the digital LP “Music For My Friends” does NOT include this jawn; only the cassette and wax, friends.

The Daily Show With Jon Stewart Reveals The ‘Progress’ In Police Relations In McKinney (Video)
June 19, 2015
Not sure what Comedy Central is going to do when Jon Stewart leaves his 11pm ET time slot in August… Not sure what the world of political satire is going to to. In truth, in the news cycle at large, he is one of the few consistently bold enough to even bring viewpoints like this to light.
Sure, lots of folks have been talking about the police-raided pool party in McKinney (Texas, USA); about the way-too-far response of the police called for what was mostly a misunderstanding. The above clip puts a bit of comedy sauce on top of the crap sandwich that is another instance of law enforcement’s general disregard for Black people. But it provided a framework for correspondent Jessica Williams’ frank commentary about the so-called ‘progress’ we have made in police relations in the U.S. Start above with Stewart’s lead in and finish with Jessica’s report after the jump.

Experiencing the on-the-rise moments. Really soaking them in. You get the feeling that Jordan is taking NONE of them for granted.

Aziz Ansari is already dead funny, but put him on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon; and best believe some laugh-out-loud moments are about to happen.
