Blinky Blink | Nelly action figure | Don Cash | Street's Mos' | Fam-Lay | Comp | The Beacon goes gutter...
Here to save R&B, but can he save himself?
Two things I forgot yesterday:
- Kels' double album is on stores this week also.
- Yesterday I said "Harlem's Back." But I didn't mention that my girl Jessica's artist Blinky Blink (formerly of Ma$e's Harlem World crew) has a new single called "Make Me Wanna Sing" bubblin' right now which has already been featured in HBO's acclaimed new show "Entourage" and is available on the Blink/Ma$e Harlem Knights mixtape.
Street's Mos': the most gutter new hip hop mag. It's like F.E.D.S., Don Diva or F.E.L.O.N. but without the drug lord profiles and bulletproof vest shopping guides.
and at the completely opposite end of the scale....
aRUDE: style, art, fashion, culture, scenes and beyond. (Shout to my man Iké)
And a shout to my man Jose whose new octomoto.com blogsite is, in his own words:
About
emerging art +
the art of emerging :: information economy
hacks/techniques
for the independent artist
The Fader claims he's a "21st century icon" and Toronto's eye magazine maintains he is the "avant rap-rocker" who is "Toronto's most mysterious MC." Meet Don Cash.
Spotted via the underground post...:
- Nelly action figure.
- The UK's answer to the revered but defunct hip hop satire magazine ego trip was the excellent, but also now defunct, fat lace magazine.
Def Jam are out of their minds for dropping Neptunes affiliate Fam-Lay. His double-single "Fresh N Drivin'" b/w "Git Busy" is retarded. Not a good sign for the LA Reid-helmed future of this legendary label.
I don't know much about this crew/label but you gotta love anyone with the name Fatz Belvedere.
Comp was hot on Ghost's "Run" track but can he fulfill the promise he showed on that cameo?
Gutter hip hop show of the week: Fat Joe & Cam'ron at The Beacon tomorrow night but with tix from $43.50 to $83.50 (WTF?) your wallet better not be gutter status.
