Sean Falyon – “B!tches In My BEARD” (Produced By Trifeckta)
June 16, 2014
“First of all, I got a question: ‘Do you put conditioner in your BEARD?'”
Dope! By the way, dude singing the overdubs … name is Nick Anderson (nice touch). “B!tches In My BEARD” (produced by Trifeckta) proves, once again, the Sean Falyon Be Everywhere…maybe even your girl’s head space (hilarious intro).

Adult Rappers: The Neverending Saga Of Age And Relevance (Trailer)
June 16, 2014
Just had a Father’s Day. For all you Dads (and grinders that know a Dad), here’s the line you know you must walk. You can be into doing your thing, but not so much that it takes you away from fulfilling your responsibilities (like caring for your family and such). Here is a film that relates to those who live walking that line in their Hip-Hop grind.
These frames are the opening credits/titles…doubling as a trailer for the film. Keep your eyes out for the whole shebang. Looks interesting. Shout out to Bad Magics for putting such dopeness on my radar once again!

June 16, 2014
“Native Americans call themselves many things. The one thing they don’t…”
Powerful point made with lots of eyes watching. Above is the commercial the NFL would not let air. The National Congress of American Indians went for another ‘big game’ viewing audience though.
After the jump, Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation leaders speak on why they got involved with the Change The Mascot movement.
Dave Chappelle Speaks On Turning Down $50 Million, Bouncing Back From Extreme Adversity & More On ‘Late Night With David Letterman’ (Video)
June 13, 2014
Great clip! Great insights (and laughs). Give it the full 15 minutes of your attention. As David Letterman interviews comedian/actor Dave Chappelle, the two discuss his sudden, astounding, and costly ($50 million he walked away from…50…MILLION) resignation from his Comedy Central show years ago, his memory of a horrible standup experience at Radio City Music Hall (opening for Aretha Franklin) at 19, family life and more.
“Of course I would like to have that money. When you quit, my friends’ll try and make me feel better but no one’s been through that so they’ll say stupid stuff – not stupid stuff, it’s nice – ‘Well, you know what Dave, at the end of the day, you still have your integrity.’ Yeah, that’s great. I’ll go home and make the kids some integrity sandwiches.â€

June 13, 2014
Australian by way of Los Angeles (California, USA) singer/songwriter Tiaan goes soultry (soulful + sultry) with her single “Black Cars.” Shout to SoulBounce for the scoop. Tiaan’s style is, by her declaration, a modern day Aaliyah… with some hints of Jhene Aiko in there, too.

June 13, 2014
Okay. Looking at the title, you might expect this video to be a bit “off” (it’s Tyler The Creator and IceJJFish man c’mon). Now, if we told you it was from the Loiter Squad show on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim…you KNOW it’s some funny, trippy sh!t. Watch this trap rap spoof. Ride with the insanity!

Reks – “Unholy†feat. Fredro Starr x Ruste Juxx (Produced By Hazardis Soundz)
June 12, 2014
Of the lineup of starring guest spitters on the upcoming collabo LP “Eyes Watching God,” Reks calls forth Fredro Starr and Ruste Juxx for this “Unholy†track. All songs for the LP (including this one) were produced, mixed and mastered by Hazardis Soundz. “Eyes Watching God” is due out July 15, 2014.
“Working with Reks on this project has been a great experience. The creative process was organic and effortless. We were in the studio together for every song on the album and it was as simple as me showing Reks a beat and him picking up the pen and writing. Nothing was ever forced. I am really proud of this body of work and I’m very excited for the world to hear it.”

R&B: Amerie – “What I Want” (Video)
June 12, 2014
Alright, Amerie. Singing ’bout “What I Want”… it works both ways though, baby *wink*
There’s a warning at the start of the video in case mad psychedelic quick-changing imagery is a trigger for worsening any watcher’s condition (i.e. may cause seizures to sensitive viewers). But warning to the sexy Amerie: Harmonizing to that ‘Jump On It’ beat … a subliminal tease.
Upbeat song presented with high energy visuals. Check it out.
How To Make Your Smartphone Float In Mid-Air (Video)
June 12, 2014
Where’s the smartphone? Over there… on The Magic Phone Stand… charging and floating! Well, sorta. The phone stand is a smartphone case made and marketed in cooperation with Martinka Magic (New Jersey, USA); and it employs a stiff charging cable that also unctions as a phone stand. The phone, placed in the stand, makes it appear as though the phone is floating in mid-air. The product should be available to the consumer market (you and me) in September 2014.

No way. No fu**ing way! Sir Mix-A-Lot is a favorite son of Seattle’s Hip-Hop community…but of Seattle Symphony music lovers?
