April 29, 2019
Chadwick Boseman took some time away from MCU to play NYPD for a little while. But he’s still about that action!
“21 Bridges” follows an embattled NYPD detective (Boseman), who is thrust into a citywide manhunt for a pair of cop killers after uncovering a massive and unexpected conspiracy. As the night unfolds, lines become blurred on who he is pursuing, and who is in pursuit of him. When the search intensifies, extreme measures are taken to prevent the killers from escaping Manhattan as the authorities close all “21 Bridges” to prevent any entry or exit from the iconic island.

ALL CAPS, no cap: BoneBreaker Jones, Sam Peezy, J-Sun KOA, GreaseKydz & Sikz Earned My RESPECT
April 29, 2019
Above: J-Sun on the left, Sikz on the right, and all the GreaseKydz right down the middle from front to back (Tea Bag da Herbalist, Shawty Plx, Expo, Phobro da Ab)!
…and that was waaay before this past Friday night! That is why I extended an invitation for each of them to give a feature LIVE performance at the 16th Anniversary Celebration of The Remix, one of Atlanta’s best and longest-running Hip-Hop radio shows. When @ATLRemix gave me the green light to program the first hour of the six-hour event with a live cypher-inspired lineup, I immediately reached out to the talented folks who showed love, showed up, and showed out on my dream mixtape “Livin Proof” Rebooth LP project (posted on here a few years back). When I could not pay them anything more than RESPECT, they did that for me. And though my pockets are still hella lean and linty, I still have RESPECT, with interest, for all these guys (including post-Rebooth newcomer Sikz). RESPECT earned, RESPECT due, RESPECT paid… In that way, me and mine are very wealthy indeed (RESPECT stays being paid). And the night of the event, the brothers showed love, showed up, and showed out like I knew they would (and then some)!
Sidebar: RESPECT is crucial, you see. So much so, RESPECT! was the theme for our portion of the Anniversary Celebration event; a program within a program you will see tagged #ALLCAPS #nocap around the Interwebs. Because we mean it, we are shouting #RESPECT to everyone involved in making this happen – in ALL CAPS, no cap, from the tippy-top of the ‘Snocap’Â (as in ‘snow-cap’ on top of the mountain, as you will see in the logo after the jump).
Engaging interviews and mind-blowing performances from my bredren BoneBreaker Jones (with Sam Peezy aka Tony Factory), J-Sun KOA (King Of Alabama), GreaseKydz (Expo, Phobro da Ab, Shawty Plx, Tea Bag da Herbalist) and Sikz #RESPECT #ALLCAPS #nocap
And the family of support I had was HUGE: Gerald Olivari, DJ Yogi, Tierra, BigDee, and Brittany of @ATLRemix …videography by Si-Video Production’s own Robert Nunnally and on-camera Host/Spokesmodel Liza Ashe of @GoodCurvy …my invited ‘press corps’ (@ArtByOdell and Ismael AbduSalaam) …and my consultant & stalwart ally Iman Lexington who answered all my what-do-you-think calls and emails leading up to the event. Even my nephew Jasen (J-Sun’s son) came through and stayed with his old uncle to make sure I was ‘safe’ while out that late at night. Plus, after a long work week, seeing all the familiar and new friendly faces in the place gave me LIFE #RESPECT #ALLCAPS #nocap
The whole night was EPIC! And, man, oh, MAN! Just wait until we get our audio and video finalized. Keep keeping your ears and eyes open for that. And keep checking back here for the exclusives!
(In the meantime, I tossed in a few behind-the-scenes screenshots after the jump.)

Altered Crates x DJ Tiger – “The Premier Hussle” (DJ Premier x Nipsey Hussle Mashup) [Mixtape]
April 26, 2019
This is beautiful. The track blending by DJ Tiger; even the artwork by AiryVision. What an incredible tribute!
Dedicated to the life and memory of the late, great #NipseyHussle, Altered Crates & DJ Tiger present “The Premier Hussle.”
DJ Tiger expertly blends Nipsey’s vocals and lyrics over rare and lesser-known production from the legendary DJ Premier to create a unique listening experience. Known for rapping over west-coast inspired production and more modern and trap-style beats, “The Premier Hussle” finds Nipsey riding over classic Boom-Bap east-coast vibes.

No Words Are Necessary When Robert De Niro Is Your Guest. But He’ll Say A Few… (Video)
April 26, 2019
Standing O for De Niro! Not one butt in a seat when he came out. Respect due and paid in full by the audience. They wanted to see and hear from him. I wanted to see what he would say about President Trump. I mean, De Niro did say he wanted to ‘punch Trump in the mouth’ during the campaign… so expect him to be real and raw in this clip above.
I scream, you scream, we all scream for Tribeca Film Festival founder Robert De Niro.

Oh. Oh, that part with the ice cream. That was BRILLIANT! Awesome clip.

Mmm mm mm! And OMG! Is Mýa just gonna stay hot and make hot music forever? Looks like it. And speaking of looks… WOW! Is Mýa actually asking if I am “Down” with visuals like this? That’s a rhetorical question, right?

Persephanii Loves A Good Facial (Video)
April 25, 2019
Not my usual post when it comes to sexy Persephanii, but I found this hella relaxing just to watch. Maybe they have something like this in your area. Gotta be a priceless rejuvenating experience whatever the cost! Tell your girl you wanna give her a facial… THEN tell her you meant ‘a day of being pampered at the spa’ which includes a facial *wink*

He’s back! Well, he never left. To be honest, I have been lax in keeping up with the output of the homie DJ Yogi (Yogi, Yogi, Yogi). My bad. But dude stays putting up dope mix shows like this on the Mixcloud. If you are on that, you should follow him there. One of the best on that platform #RESPECT #ALLCAPS #nocap

Lyric Jones x Nameless – “Ga$ Money” (Album)
April 25, 2019
Ah yes. A treasure. And the music is dope, too. I’m just talking about everyone’s fave lovely lyricist Lyric Jones’ collabo project with producer Nameless. They dropped this “Ga$ Money” last month.
Emcee, Singer-Songwriter & Drummer, Lyric Jones teams up with Producer Nameless to bring the world a solid well-rounded project titled, “GA$ MONEY.”
The duo found common ground as they both were creating this project long distance while she drove Lyft & Uber majority of the time as he was a truck driver.
The title came about while joking about “Gas Money” being the bare minimum required for their presence or services in the music business – often times people wanting their gifts for free, this tieing in how they both drive all day to make ends meet.

April 25, 2019
Cleaning out my inbox, I forgot about this scoop-n-score sent to me by my folks over at Bad Magics. Sharing is caring, people, especially when we are talking about Ras Kass music. And since it was dead in the middle of winter at the time, the heat was appreciated. Check out Ras Dolo with “Featuring Myself” above.

Jaden – “SOHO” (Video)
April 25, 2019
Okay, so Jaden Smith is really emo-autotuned out for this “SOHO” track… more so than on stuff posted earlier… I grant you that. But I’m still riding with the young emcee because (1) he is Hip-Hop royalty [heard his dad Will joined him on stage in Fresh Prince mode recently], (2) he and his girl in this vid are adorable [cute couple], and (3) the vibe on this is soooo relaxing.
So there. You got me. But I bet if you click play and watch, Jaden will ‘get’ you. And then you’ll get it.

Presenting Jungle, One Of The Architects of “Illmatic†(Video)
April 25, 2019
He was like Frank Sinatra… a modern-day Frank Sinatra… I was in awe the whole time.
Up next, we hear from another of The Architects of Illmatic – Jungle. We’ve heard Nas actually shout his brother Jungle out on a record or two. Very interesting to hear what he has to say regarding the 25th birthday of the classic “Illmatic” LP.
Nas lost a backpack full of Illmatic rhymes in the midst of the recording process on the way to DJ Premier’s studio. His biological brother and collaborator, Jungle, remembers the bizarre sequence of events that followed—and much more…

Anderson .Paak – “Come Home” feat. Andre 3000
April 24, 2019
This is the collab that will draw most heads to the “Ventura†LP. My opinion. But probably facts by now. In fact, I’m betting you are going to give this a spin just to hear 3 Stacks go in on the feature for Anderson.

Cory Booker Speaks On Running For President, Getting Things Done For His Constituents & His Feelings For Rosario Dawson (Video)
April 24, 2019
Why should we consider Cory Booker as a serious contender for the U.S. Presidency? Well, she ‘convinced’ Rosario Dawson to join his team… on the campaign trail AND as his lady friend. Yep, took her right from Bernie Sanders’ campaign (she was really on the #FeelTheBern team) AND from Luke Cage (haha)!
In one of his best interviews yet after announcing his intentions to run for President, Senator Cory Booker sat down with Ebro In The Morning to discuss some of the issues he plans to tackle, plus confronts Rosenberg on questions about being too close to corporate entities, and Wall Street.
He also discusses his relationship with Rosario Dawson, why he made some decisions as mayor of Newark, impeaching Trump, reparations, plans to give every American $1000 every month, and he defends the narrative of “what Democrats have done for me?
