Hip-Hop done officially lost it's mind

Rapper Hurricane Chris performs "Halle Berry" in front of the Louisiana House of Representatives.

you got to have style.....

one of my favorite musicians in the game is this dude, Ryan Leslie.



He has been on the grind for years, and I remember playing all his bootlegs and releases years ago. What is so unique about dude is his grind is from the ground up. He is an accomplished producer (he plays all his instruments on his own), runs a label called NEXT SELECTION, and is now is a successful artist. His style and creativity is real refreshing in this day of the ringtone artists.... peep game.

This most recent edition of Soul Clap! was just days after the unfortunate passing of Michael Jackson, and although not intentional, this became the overlaying theme of the night... It was only right.

Can someone explain to me how can a WHOLE ISLAND get clunked out of commission like it did last night? At least the spot downstairs from my crib had a working grill... holla at your $10 pulled pork sandwiches. We had a fun-filled Friday after Christmas planned with SOUL CLAP @ 39 hotel, but instead... DARKNESS!

but do not fret... we just moved the fun to TONIGHT! come thru!

Merry Christmas!

...and Boston Sucks! I know, I know... just a regular season game... but that was prolly the best Christmas game in a while. And we got some redemption from last year. Merry Indeed!

The Alchemist making "Keys To The City"

ALC chopping up that "Keys to the City" track that featured the lovely Nina Sky and H.N.I.C. Pee. I found this on his blog where I also found a pretty interesting read about a trip he took to upstate nowhere NY to visit Jailbird Pee. Read it here ALCHEMIST BEATS: Live From Behind The Wall. Bookmark it.


This track was featured on the infamous Can't Noc The Hustle Vol.1. You know... That top 25 on your ipod touch.
