Video: D-Nice Presents Soul Survivors: Bilal
I'ma have to agree with Derrick's assessment that Bilal is a soul survivor 'cos, as much as I dig him, dude has managed to sustain a career on the back of one good, but lukewarm-selling album that came out what: like a decade ago now??

True Hip Hop Stories: The Homeless MC
Presented by D-Nice:
"This is the story of a homeless rapper I met on the streets of Brooklyn. There’s a part of me that feels for him because it’s quite obvious he suffered a great deal as a child. But it’s hard to show sympathy for a man who has lived life the way he has. I guess everyone deserves to be forgiven."

D-Nice's True Hip Hop Stories: Sadat X of Brand Nubian
Y'all youngsters don't even realize how BIG Brand Nubian were in hip hop and on the streets when One For All dropped. I'm not even sure the album ever even went Gold but its impact was Graduation, Tha Carter III, Get Rich or Die Tryin'-sized big regardless because the album stayed hot for damn near a year which almost never happens in hip hop any more in an era where cats have to drop a mixtape every week to keep cats giving a f-ck about them! I kind of wish this True Hip Hop Stories was about the classic "All for One" single, but "Punks Jump Up..." was the first record these guys dropped after the success of the One For All album and the departure of lead rapper and God MC, Grand Puba so this is still an interesting story in its own right.

D-Nice presents True Hip-Hop Stories: Monie Love
Great as usual. I told Derrick that Monie is like the sister in hip hop I never had with her mangled-ass England-by-way-of-NYC accent - no disrespect to my real sister of course! "Ladies First" is still a helluva song and I guess, "Monie in the Middle" was a lot bigger than I remember it being 'cos it always getting referenced in songs and being talked about nowadays.
Watch Monie Love - "Monie In Middle" here. My peoples who know about this stuff, is that LeShaun at the end of the video with Monie??! [YouTube video]
