Apollo Brown

CHECK THIS OUT!! Wow! Black Milk and Big Pooh (Little Brother) are killing it on this track!! REAL Detroit drums are alive. Nice

Nas & Damian Marley

Ok, so I gotta touch on this I think. I heard about this collab 3 or 4 years ago when Damian Marley had Nas lay down a verse on his album "Welcome to Jamrock" At first I wasn't too big of a fan because he really went away from the deep reggae that made him known(also because his name is Marley). As I listened more I really started to enjoy the album. When I heard the news that a full LP was coming out awhile back, I was also very skeptical. After listening to a few leaked tracks, this shit is FIRE! Check it out for yourself and get a copy of this album.

Support the artists, Buy Vinyl.

Reflection Eternal

Oh Ya!

Just found this on vinyl today!! Should be amazing. I just counted the collection and it is up to almost 70 pieces of vinyl that have Jay Dee production and/or rap. So happy the collection is starting to come along nicely. Word up

Happy Mother's Day!!

For all the moms out there. This day (and song) are for you. Much love.

RIP GURU

I am getting tired of these tributes to amazing musicians that are passing away way too early. This time former frontman of one of the most influential hip-hop groups ever, Gang Starr has passed away. Guru was only 43! It comes as a shock after he released a statement that said he was in cardiac arrest not too far back. For full info check this story...

Just to help the cause here is a video tribute of my top 3 Gang Starr songs. Enjoy

RIP GURU!

New Aloe Blacc

Lauren Hill, Where Did You Go?

Not only did Lauren Hill have a great solo career, but in the movies, and featured on others songs' might have raised her to the status that she raised to. Wish she was still around to help bring back good music. The soulful voice is surely missed. Top 3 Lauren Hill projects
