The Beatz & Lyrics Show – Best Of 2010 Show Winners
January 19, 2011
So we had a little technical difficulty getting the show started last Saturday on time due to the Atlanta roads & weather condition, but we still managed to finish the show completely on air all the way up until 3:30am. Murphy’s Law is always in effect, but mission accomplished. Just a little later than normal. Check the full list of award winners for ‘The Beatz & Lyrics Show – BEST OF 2010 Awards’. The Podcast Of The Radio Show is up now!

Nesby Phips – The Catchup Mixtape
January 18, 2011
Nesby Phips has been making some great moves in the past year & constantly elevating his profile. I was following on twitter when I saw new fans in Japan clamoring for him to come out there with Ski Beatz for a show. Seems like its only a matter of time for Nesby Phips to blow. If you don’t know then now you need to ‘Catchup’. Word To These Bo Jacksons.

The Jealous Guys x Lunice – Bus Stop Jazz (Video)
January 18, 2011
Diggin’ this joint right here…Reminds me of that classic jazzy 90s sound that never gets old to me. Here’s what the collaborators had to say:
“Bus Stop Jazz is a mammoth collaboration between Montreal based production bravissimo Lunice and San Francisco hip hop duo The Jealous Guys. 24KMC’s homies in the UK hip hop website Southern Hospitality organized the hit and alley-ooped it to us to execute the visual aspect. The song is a modern twist on a 90’s classic hip hop sound that will never cease to be loved when done right, and like a barely pan seared Ahi Tuna steak this song is raw as hell”

ESPN’s 30 For 30: Straight Outta L.A. – The Raiders (Video)
January 17, 2011
The history behind the Raiders organization is one of the clear reasons why I’m an avid Raiders fan to this day. The Oakland Raiders are my favorite team in the NFL & there are many clear reasons why covered in the above documentary directed by Ice Cube. Although the focus of the documentary is on the years the team was in Los Angeles, the creed & belief system of the organization comes across.

The Oakland Raiders To Officially Announce Hue Jackson As Head Coach
January 17, 2011
The tweet above may not mean much to most of you, but I’m an Oakland Raiders fan. It’s official…..Al Davis hires Hue Jackson as our new head coach. Despite Al Davis being sometimes portrayed as being quite eccentric, he has probably hired more black head coaches than any other team in the NFL if I’m not mistaken. That’s great, but black or not you still have to ‘Just Win Baby’. Hue Jackson is largely credited for turning the season around this past year for the Raiders. Hopefully it’ll be a good 2011 for the Raiders if the NFL doesn’t have a lockout.
