Jean Grae – “underneathu” (Video)


Jean Grae is always doing something creative & in this new video she takes it back to the 80s like a late night public access television show performance that’s ‘blacker than black’ with a EXTREMELY high light skinned host played by Adam Mansbach. Hahaaaa! Check out this interesting new video for the Prince-inspired ‘underneathu’ that appears on her album #5 featuring Jean Grae & her band ‘The Everybody’s Pregnant’. Yeah I know…. the name for her band is wild as hell.

New Music: Lenny Kravitz – ‘Stand, You’re Gonna Run Again’


This past Sunday I was cruising through Atlanta listening to Lenny Kravitz’ 5 album which still gets alot of play from me on a personal level. Especially my favorite track ‘Little Girl’s Eyes’ dedicated to his daughter Zoe Kravitz who coincidentally has all grown up into a beautiful woman & did a fairly good job in the new X-Men: First Class movie. God must work in mysterious ways last Sunday because Lenny Kravitz’s camp dropped this new single ‘Stand’ the following Monday from his upcoming project Black And White America due on August 22nd.

The legendary Prince Nelson Rogers appeared on ‘Lopez Tonight’ & straight killed it! I watched it twice last night after it aired the first time. Prince & his band The New Power Generation will embark on a 21 day tour in L.A. beginning today & last night on the Lopez Tonight Show they really did set it off with a bang! George Lopez had me rollin’ though when he called Prince his ‘Puerto Rican’ brother from another mother. George Lopez be always trying to make someone an honorary Latino! Hahaa!
