UPDATE and MUSIC VIDEO

Rome Cee is a Baltimore MC and he recently released his mixtape, The Grey. He's got a ways to go for him to make my top favorite MC's out right now, but I do have to say the song, Virtue, has me hooked. The video is nothing extraordinary but sometimes it's good to know what the MC actually looks like. Do yourself a favor and listen/watch.

ALSO, I will be posting more singles that artists release as I have been only doing that for a select tracks in the past. I know that I don't put out mixtapes often enough so I figure these loosies will keep you at bay. You can either go directly to my soundcloud or go to my flavors page, which has the most recent posts and my soundcloud. Actually, just go to the flavors page.

This is too funny not to post

In an article in Allure magazine (April issue), Nicki is calling her spot right now for the top-the proverbial throne-which is where she claims Jay-Z sits. Let me make this simple for you, so you don't have to really click on the link to the Allure website:

Am I the only one still laughing at this? Because I'm pretty sure she still has some issues to work out over her Grammy performance, including the President of the Catholic League. Sounds like the sequel to the Avengers movie...

Revisit a classic

My favorite Tribe Called Quest song gets reworked for Teedra Moses and Wale. I have to say, I'm not disappointed.

Rest in Power: Big L

Lamont Coleman: May 30, 1974-February 15, 1999

Jack White is a beast

Hungover from Valentine's Day? Cool story bro. Pour yourself another one and let one half of the White Stripes and Ruby Amanfu get you ready for the rest of the week. White's Blunderbuss comes out April 23.

Cuffed: Lil Wayne

In the spirit of the Hallmark holiday of all holidays, Weezy F. Baby proposed to his girl friend, Dhea, and she said, well, let me let Wayne describe in detail:

Who knows how ridiculous the wedding is going to be, but wait. Apparently they're married already? Ahhh, beats me. Damn celebrities and they're nonconformity. Let's just hope she puts some fashion sense in his head with those snowboarding boots and his new clothing line taking off. Seriously, you're wearing winter gear for the mountains to a Lakers game. In LOS ANGELES.

Ever feel like some incredibly, bone breaking, hard hitting, bass breaking, records are gonna drop soon?

This project is definitely a close second right now. And it's only a close second because you haven't heard the raw tracks they released already:

What you need to know: 35 Hip-Hop collective largely drawing from Stones Throw Records
Key Players: 3 Producers (Fuzzface, 7-Stu-7, Katalyst) Ever heard of Portishead? And Australia?
What to expect:

 "Invitations were sent out to golden era legends such as Prince Po and The Pharcyde’s Booty Brown, indie rap titans such as Dead Prez and Phat Kat, and of course some of StonesThrow’s finest: Aloe Blacc, Guilty Simpson, MED and newest signings Jonwayne and Dave Dub all make memorable contributions. There are also some lesser known talents present: band-favorite Coin Locker Kid, Lyric Jones, Estee Nack & more hold it down with their more celebrated peers."
