Seen on NR.

It’s just the first verse but worth the listen: Download

J Smooth’s site Illdoctrine is the blueprint for hip-hop video commentary.

Definitely get familiar (Whatup IAE!).

Here he is speaking on Michael Jackson and the role mass media played in shaping his legacy.

Gee Wunder breaks down the video concept while director RT aka “Mr. Time Is Money” speaks on why professionalism’s a prerequisute… even on a hip-hop video set (lol!).

(Shouts to my lil cuzin Nyah gettin’ her shine on!)

Gee Wunder’s “Beats, Bars & Hooks” out “soon times still!”

Episode 6 of Eternia’s “Road To Release” campaign for her upcoming collabo project with producer MoSS!

“Fast Pace” is the second single/video off Tona’s SOLID sophomore set “Direct Deposit”, a collaboration with producer Lyve.  The song features Saukrates & T.R.A.C.K.S. from IRS.

Big shouts to David F. Mewa who’s batting a pretty impressive director average (Famous’ “Ain’t No Use” & “A Kid Tryna Make It”, Tona’s “Major”).

The video release party’s going down at Revival (783 College St) tomorrow night but don’t holla, just reach.

And for those that still haven’t heard the song (even tho I swear it’s being rinsed everywhere, including my I-pod as I type this): Download

If you like it, vote for it on The MCC.

Also catch Tona on The Real Frequency tonight @ 11pm (Flow 93.5 FM) as I fill in for Arcee.

Bishop’s new set of webisodes. If you missed it peep the first one here: Episode 1 w/ Crooked I

We weren’t up and running when this vid first dropped but I seen it over at Praise And Warship a couple days ago which reminded me we hadn’t put it up yet. If Drex looks familiar it’s cuz he’s also the co-founder of The Remix Project, a youth initiative that actually needs your support (I know Drex won’t mind the double plug, lol!)
