One Day Soon_ Finally
After three years of work One Day Soon is finally here. Today (Oct 7) is my fathers birthday. People who purchased the physical CD will read in the (32 page hand-written) booklet that I dedicated this album to my parents. Without them there would be no me, so who better to dedicate it to. My […]

Lupe_ Okayplayer Interview
Lupe Fiasco is such an interesting dude to me. I respect do him a great deal because of his perspective, his decisions, what he says and what he represents. This is a pretty informal interview by Okayplayer done in Texas I think. He’s gone through a lot of music industry drama in the last little […]
Lauryn_ Reebok Classics Promo
There is really nothing you can say about Lauryn Hill that hasn’t already been said. For many of us she defined both conscious and popular music. She was hip hop and soul and pop at the same time, not an easy thing to accomplish. She was (is) and positive example of proud black womanhood in […]
