Final (Part 3) in the HardKnockTV interview series with PRhyme (DJ Premier x Royce da 5’9). Nick Huff Barili getting insight from Royce on life changes he has gone through.

– Royce da 5’9
Now sober two years, he is grateful for having made it through that period alive and without major jail time.

Poised Under Pressure: How Michael K. Williams Finds Peace (Video)
December 12, 2014
I love what I do, but I LOVE when people love what I do.
– Michael K. Williams
That sentiment stokes the fire that builds pressure in the cooker. Making this episode or that film the best, making the most of this media appearance or that one. On top of that, Michael is his own ‘image consultant’ – choosing his own clothes and look for these events. Why does he add that pressure to the situation when, at his level, he could hire someone.
Because the time he spends dressing himself, getting a haircut… are like his Zen meditation. Peaceful silence and renewed focus. Watch.
R&B/Soul: Esta – “Can’t Wait” featuring SPZRKT
December 12, 2014
They say Patience is a virtue, but some things in life are just hard to wait on. Like waiting on food at a restaurant when you are hungry or waiting in line to get into a popular club. One thing I know a lot of men can agree on is they can’t wait to see that special lady in their lives if they have said lady.
Well the DJ/Producer Esta (Soulection DJ) teams up with singer SPZRKT explaining this nicely with the track you guessed it named “Can’t Waitâ€. This track will have guys thinking they can sing to their ladies. I suggest you just play the song by Esta (featuring SPZRKT). Fellas trust me, I already attempted and the lady enjoyed the song more! Check out SPZRKT new album BONFIRE.

We have seen a lot go on currently involving police murdering unarmed Black men. It is unfortunate that we are experiencing these encounters even worse that the cops responsible are not being tried in court. So will Artists speak out and make music talking about this issue? Some have done this and one of our good friends J. Keys has done just that. His latest track “Guilty†deals with this topic over a hard hitting beat produced by Cultural Bastards.

Come through, show some tit, talk about how you do (or how to prep for getting poked in the doo-doo)… You know it’s another day for Sway, Tracy G, and their sexy guest Asa Akira. You know how ‘real talk’ can sound so unreal BUT you gotta keep listening? Well, you will when you click play. It all starts with Tracy G’s intro (some real… umm… admiration by Tracy G). Asa explaining to Sway about all it takes to ready her a**hole for extreme penetration… It’s crazy.

Wu-Tang Clan – “A Better Tomorrow” (Video)
December 10, 2014
Black lives matter. Hip-Hop matters, especially when it is bringing truth to light like this. Great flip of the “Wake Up Everybody” music by Teddy Pendergrass for today’s cause. Respect to Wu-Tang for putting this out; especially now.
This visual was created by Wu-Tang Clan in the hopes of inspiring change and promoting unity throughout the world.
