We had this idea while in the studio to do something cool for Bob Marley’s birthday, so we got to work. The result was this dope version of Bob Marley’s classic “Three Little Birds” where my boy Robby Hunter delivered some organic composition and I kicked a quick freestyle.

You know what? I give. This is West Palm Beach emcee Will Brennan’s dopest cut yet and it features production and singing from his crooner cousin Somong. Need a history lesson that you can rock to? Press play and thank DJBooth for the heads up.

Remember that single from Common, the one off The Dreamer, The Believer produced by No I.D.? Well the MMG emcee Stalley decided to spit a few bars over it as we wait for Savage Journey To The American Dream!.

The homie Emilio Rojas jumps on a track with Al-Doe off his Nose Candy project, pretty dope if you ask me.

Here’s another track from my upcoming project The Brenton Brown Affair. The first time I heard this track, I knew I had to lay some vocals to it. I had my production team, The R.E.G.I.M.E. flip it to add something extra and “Paradise” was born. We’re coming to the final stretch of this project, The Brenton Brown Affair and as tedious (at times) as it’s been, I couldn’t be more eager and excited to share it with you. So sit tight and enjoy the new music.

On the day marking the beginning of Black History Month, the entertainment industry loses an icon to what sources say was an “apparent suicide.” Don Cornelius, the visionary who created and hosted the legendary musical variety show Soul Train, was found dead in his Los Angeles of a self-inflicted gunshot with no signs of foul play. The Los Angeles Police Department said his death is still under investigation.

Needless to say this is sad day for the entertainment industry.

R.I.P. Don Cornelius, we wish you “Love, Peace and Soul.”

Yeah this joint goes hard. I had the opportunity to meet Sean Rose a late last year, chopped it up with him about his upcoming project, Overdrive, which is set for release on February 10th. After taking a listen to this cut featuring female Ludacris Shawnna , I’m ready to hear more.

New cut Wale featuring Rick Ross and Fabolous that was slated to appear on Ambition, but didn’t quite make it. Tagged up for a hint of annoyance, Wale is the latest rapper to join the increasing trend of songs named after athletes. I have a question though, who’s doing the Kendrick Perkins track, or should it be called Blake Griffin.

I wasn’t even aware that ItsTheReal had graduated to MTV, but after seeing this mini-interview (let’s just call it a “minterview” for short), I’m glad for the expansion. Besides, you’re going to chuckle a bit when you press play.

Showing some love to my West Coast peeps, here’s a new one from Ya Boy. Like the homie Shake says, Ya Boy’s been hit or miss lately, but this track is pretty dope so press play.

This is the sickest design I’ve seen for the Jordan 1 Retro. If the still above piques your interest, click below to read more and to give these kicks a better look.

Dave White’s first Air Jordan 1 retro design for All Star Weekend infused American flag-inspirations and were met with acclaim and fanfare. White and Jordan are back again, and the result is the Air Jordan 1 High DW. These kicks feature the iconic Jordan black/sport red-white-cement grey colorway, and even bring in the elephant print on the forefoot laces-strap. But it’s White’s trademark paint splatter and brush strokes that make this shoe stand out. In speaking about the project White commented, “the absolute intent was to make something that actually looked animated and dynamic, explosive and alive even when standing still. I wanted the shoe to almost look like it had been dipped in paint and is exploding with energy.” The Dave White Air Jordan 1 Retro will be available in North America, Europe and China on February 11. -Alec
