Classic Clips: Christopher Lee Rios aka Big Pun (November 10, 1971 – February 7, 2000)
February 7, 2012
Today we remember the life of Big Punisher, the 1st Latino in hip hop to go platinum and in my eyes one of the best lyricists ever. He could destroy verses with a merciless rapid delivery like “Super Lyrical” or give you smooth quality radio joints without selling out like “Not A Player”. With all Pun’s positive attributes as emcee, his passing gives us one constant reminder, YOUR HEALTH IS YOUR WEALTH! Make sure you take care of yourself and get them check up’s….
“Dead in the middle of little Italy little did he know that we riddle to middle men who didn’t do diddly” is still the greatest 4 bars ever!

Red Bull Music Academy Contest (Video)
February 7, 2012
It’s about that time again for musicians to submit their applications to attend the Red Bull Music Academy that will be held in NYC this year from September 30 – November 2, 2012. The Red Bull Music Academy is an international workshop that was founded in 1998, and touches down in a different city each year. Last year the workshops were held in Madrid Spain & artists like Erykah Badu, Young Guru, MF Doom, Bootsy Collins, Chic & more either performed or lectured during the symposium. How it works is two groups of 30 successful applicants, themselves representing a diverse range of music styles and methodologies, attend lectures by musical pioneers, and work on their own tunes in custom-built studios. By night, they have the chance to perform in some of the host city’s most iconic clubs and concert halls. Atlanta has been fortunate in that a few participants have come from this city in DJ Rasta Root & most recently producer Slide 20 XL who attended Georgia State University here in Atlanta. There’s no age limit, but you must be 21 to enter & it’s totally free to apply so if you or anybody you know of is an aspiring artist, DJ, Producers, emcees or all around musician that would be interested just tell them to go to the link below & download the application. Application deadline is April 2nd so y’all better not procrastinate with this opportunity….

Planet Asia- “Golden State” (Video)
February 6, 2012
I am going to go out on a limb and say Planet Asia’s upcoming album Black Belt Theatre is going to be the album of the year(remember I said it). He has been consistently dropping quality songs with creative concepts and images for the past few years now without much recognition. However, I think the stars are aligned for P. A Medallions to start getting his due as a top notch artist that he deserves.The first single “Golden State” has that “Black Dynamite”, “The Mack”, right on soul brother #1 feel to it with some throwback style visuals. If the Fresno, Cali emcee ain’t on your radar you need to put him there……

M.I.A. Flips The Middle Finger During The Super Bowl XLVI Halftime Performance (Video)
February 6, 2012
Just when NBC censors thought they’d be able to avoid any wardrobe malfunctions or any other shenanigans turning this years Super Bowl Halftime performance, M.I.A who was featured with Madonna says “Sh*t” & flips the “F*ck You” finger to the cameras before NBC could block it out. She’s living up to that “Bad Girls” song she has out right now. Good promo in a “PT Barnum” sort of way for her, but we’re sure she won’t be invited back in any more Super Bowls or with the NFL in any capacity. After the jump take a closer look at just how she feels about that possibility. Hahaaa!
