Interview: Nas Talks about DJ Premier, Life Is Good

I am glad to see Nas still putting out music and enjoying the creative process. Though I will always be suspect of his collaboration talk with DJ Premier, since they both teased us with the idea (maybe I should blame Scratch magazine) back in 2006, I would still love to hear a full-length album of Nas and Preemo, Nas and Pete Rock, Nas and Large Professor, Nas and Jake One, Nas and Just Blaze, and many more will-never-happen combos. I will keep dreaming, but there is something to be said about the fact that people keep talking about it, including Nas. Hopefully it will happen before Nas is 70 years old. Keep hope alive!

New Music: Alex Chadwick - Louisiana Sky

Alex Chadwick, of 3rd Brillyance, has started to leak early tracks from his upcoming project entitled SOULdope later this year. Though not available to download, it shares some mellow, grown man hip-hop topics for the listener. It is always refreshing to hear non-nightclub friendly tracks to relax with and make you think about life. Stay tuned for more!

"I went into two worlds on this soulful soundscape. My adult life but sharing habitat with my mother and father. Peace and blessings to all who support my music!"  ---ALEX CHADWICK

Video: Kim Dotcom - Mr. President

THIS IS NOT HIP-HOP. THE MESSAGE IS WHAT MATTERS. IF YOU DONT KNOW WHO KIM DOTCOM IS OR WHAT THE STORY BEHIND THIS IS, KEEP YOUR NEGATIVE OPINIONS TO YOURSELF. ITS FAR FROM A CHART TOPPING SONG BUT IT STANDS FOR EVERYTHING THAT ANYONE VISITING BLOGS, YOUTUBE AND USER-CONTENT DRIVEN WEBSITES REGULARLY SHOULD AGREE WITH. (via HHB)

Yes, the song is cheese-mo (black eyed peas style) but the idea that we, as users of the internet, are having our options dictated by corporations and lobbyists should concern you and motivate you to take any action against legislation that prevents internet innovation, freedom of speech and the sharing of information.

To put it into a catchier song form, do as Chuck D said and "Fight the Power"
