Ziggy Marley Interview x Jah Prince ‘Sunsplash Mix Show’ + [VIDEO]
August 2, 2011
I gotta give credit to Jimmy Fallon because he had Ziggy Marley perform ‘Forward To Love’ on his show a couple times so know i get a chance to interview him. One question we’re gonna ask is him is ‘Why DEA is Against Legalizing Smoked Marijuana? (YUPP)
Following the interview with his brother Stephen Marley, we now catch up with another son of the legendary Robert ‘Bob’ Marley on the Sunsplash Mix Show. This radio show dedicated to introduce the Atlanta audience to new Reggae and Dancehall music plus a steady stream of artist interviews.
We’re gonna ask him about his new album ‘Wild and Free’ and tour dates across the globe including Japan, USA and Europe when he bumped into Chuck D original Public Enemy in switzerland at the open air hip hop festival.

Median – The Sender (Artwork & Tracklist)
August 2, 2011
Median is a very dope MC from NC who after a hiatus is back with longtime friends Phonte and 9th Wonder to bring a new project to the people. The album drops August 16th. I was hoping to see more Foreign Exchange production credits but I’m sure The Soul Council will provide some dope beats along with folks like Kev Brown and S1, it should be a dope album which drops under the Foreign Exchange imprint.

UnSung: The Sylvers
August 1, 2011
I am a HUGE fan of The Sylvers so when I heard TvOne was doing an UnSung episode on the group I was very excited. Maybe one of the most slept on groups EVER gets some shine. If you missed it hit the link below to check it out. Diggers KNOW The Sylvers, but I think its important for anyone who likes soul music to know this group and really get into their work. Head over to TVOne and check it out.

R&B: Emmany – I’m Out (F U B*tch)
August 1, 2011
R&B vocalist Emmany has worked with many hip hop artists in his rise within the music industry from Jadakiss, Styles P, Joe Budden & others, but this is one of the first R&B joints I’ve heard solely from him that I had on repeat. I really dig this song right here & it feels like the it’s coming from some real heartbreak, but I must be getting old or something because I don’t think the cursing was necessary in this R&B jawn right here. There’s been too many R&B records as of late that are great songs, but I feel they get ruined with the unnecessary cursing. I understand that some artists feel like it’s necessary in expressing a true emotion, but the majority of R&B records these days feel like artists are cursing more frequently & unnecessarily. It’s like they are refusing to allow the record to have a chance to become a great hit record BEYOND the hood. It’s still a dope song nonetheless & I’ve had it on repeat a few times. (Shrugs Shoulders) “F*ck It”
Mavado – “I Know You Want Me” Remix feat. Ne-Yo
August 1, 2011
Mavado links up with Ne-Yo for the the remix to ‘I Know You Want Me’ which sounds pretty dope. Found myself replaying it several times after the first listen. Apparently Ne-Yo is wasting no time in working with many established talented artists like Mavado in the reggae/dancehall community, but he’s also getting his new reggae label Compound Island off the ground & into a great start in discovering new Jamaican artists. I’ve said it before that Ne-Yo’s decision to assist in discovering & nurturing great Jamaican talent is a smart move because reggae music really is a global music genre.

Battleship (Movie Trailer)
July 31, 2011
The big budget film based on the Hasbro game ‘Battleship’ is due in theaters in 2012 & even pop R&B singer Rihanna makes a cameo in the film. Visually this looks like it could be a good movie if the writing & acting falls into place like it should. Otherwise this Battleship will surely sink at the box office if they rely on special effects alone.
