Ekundayo The Mountenliun – “Kingly!” (Produced By Raticus)
March 13, 2014
The royalty in me salutes the royalty in you.
– Ekundayo The Mountenliun
“Kingly!” (produced by Raticus) is Ekundayo The Mountenliun honoring Kings and Queens carrying themselves in a way of grace, good character and cleanliness (and doing honor to lyricism). It’s not about the jewels, robes, crowns or other trappings of the so-called rich. What makes one “Kingly” (e.g. royal), is knowledge of one’s self.

VICE: Jamaican Herb Business (Video)
March 13, 2014
Hold the phone. Marjuana is still illegal in Jamaica.
That may well change though, as Western powers pressured the island nation to tamp down production and export of its cultural crop are now reconsidering their stances on ganja en masse. At the forefront of stirring change for the country: Jamaica’s first medicinal marijuana company, Medicanja, launched this year against a backdrop of reinvigorated debate around ganja law reform among leading policymakers. Renowned Jamaican scientist Dr. Henry Lowe, a leader in THC studies for medical purposes, is running the company, with the University of West Indies and the University of Technology jointly funding the facility. Dr. Lowe says the company will be studying the scientific benefits of marijuana and producing CBD-based medical products, which fall under legally accepted medicinal use of the ganja plant. Lowe says the plant extract can be used to treat psychosis and severe pain, as well as mid-life crises in men.

Comedy: President Barack Obama Gets ‘Between Two Ferns’ With Zach Galifianakis (Video)
March 12, 2014
“If I ran a third time, it’d be sort of like doing a third Hangover movie. It didn’t really work out very well, did it?â€
– President Barack Obama
Oh Snap! Yes, the real President Obama – not an impersonator – appeared on Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis. Usually it’s Zach making guests squirm and getting the overall upper hand; but not on the man Obama. The way this episode came off is nothing short of hilarious! The Prez even got in a plug for Healthcare.gov.

Common – “The Ladder”
March 11, 2014
Played this new Common joint on my radio show last Saturday night. It’s from the ‘Catch The Throne’ mixtape that the people associated with the television series ‘Game Of Thrones’ put together. I personally haven’t watched the television show at all, but the quotes that Common used for “The Ladder” are very interesting in so many ways.
