#NewMusic: Don Trip “Cheers”

February 2, 2012 Featured Artist, Music No Comments

Don Trip has proven to be one of the South’s best kept secrets. While he continues to deliver with the energy of a freshmen emcee, the maturity of the subject matter in his music puts him in a separate lane.

He begins the track making reference to his fight for parental rights, and proceeds with making a toast to never give up or never let go!

Shouts out to @SpittyWill of DirtyGloveBastard.net for the assist.

#NewMusic: Rockie Fresh x Phil Ade “Where I Wanna Be”

January 30, 2012 Music No Comments

Rockie Fresh is one of the newer artists hailing from Chicago. With less than three years in the game, he has already established a presence in hip-hop that seems to only be getting stronger. If you’re an early adopter, you’ve checked Fresh out at SXSW and AC3 and can vouch that homie has been putting in work.

The Midwest emcee teams up with his partner from DC, Phil Ade, whom has contributed on joint records in the past. This specific collaboration is off of Rockie’s most recent project, “Driving 88.” On “Where I Wanna Be,” the two go back and forth about being at peace with their decision to follow their aspirations. This ain’t no Donnell Jones record!

January 30, 2012 Featured Artist, Music No Comments

Although, D’Angelo has been seen on the scene recently, Frank Ocean provides us with his own definition of voodoo.
Oh, so you thought they stopped making baby-making music when you made yours? Not quite and in fact, we need more of this type of love-making music. Overall, we need love and thanks to Frank, there is a soundtrack!

#NewMusic: Mac Miller “Death of the Emcee”

January 28, 2012 Music No Comments

Mr. Peter Parker and DJ Whoo Kid have joined forces to produce for some and introduce to others, “FRATRAP.” Mac Miller is a perfect addition to the ensemble. While Jay-Z was so adamant about bringing death to auto-tune, Mac is more focused on the emcee. Don’t spoil your dinner, but get a taste of what’s more to come!

State of the Union Issue Breakdown [INFOGRAPHIC]

January 26, 2012 Politics No Comments

This Tuesday, President Obama proceeded to address the nation through his State of the Union speech for the fourth time since he’s been elected. As always, everyone from around the world checked in to see what issues he and his administration will be prioritizing in the near future. However, this year’s speech is a little more important than the last, given the fact that this could be Obama’s last opportunity, as president, to make an impact that would satisfy constituents.

The Washington Post created the featured infographic identifying the amount of time the president spent talking about a specific issue in comparison to the last few speeches.

Did President Obama leave out an issue that was important to you?
