#NewMusic: Becca “Come Back” (Prod. Yung Dev)

Mother’s Day has just passed and I can’t help but to reflect about all the single mothers that have had to sing sad songs to get through the pain of being abandoned by unfit fathers that fled. While you’re spending time with your mother, there are some that are spending time alone (for whatever reason) thinking about the time spent.

If you missed your weekend fix of fresh produced music, here’s something that’s guaranteed to get you going! [JUMP] to [WATCH]

Happy Mother’s Day! Music of the Movement #strongmoms

Our friends at Green For All just released this incredible video to celebrate all of the women who have influenced who we are today:

“7 Billion Strong” is an anthem about worldwide unity on behalf of mother earth and the women that have invested in and inspired us. The song came to us through our recent “movement” song competition, The Dream Reborn.  The song and accompanying video not only highlight the global nature of our struggle, but in light of Mothers Day, highlights the role of Women and Mothers as the backbone, brain and heart of our shared struggle for justice.

#NewMusic: Ab Soul x Kendrick Lamar “ILLUMINATE”

When I see Ab Soul, I think of Eazy E. He has that “Straight Outta Compton” look down to a science! If you’re not hip to Black Hippy’s secret weapon, who’s also known as the Black Lip Bastard, here’s your chance to be. His unorthodox flow will hypnotize you and at the same time have you wondering if you should be listening. His music is captivating and provocative at the same time – but it gets the people going.

RIP Adam Yauch (MCA) of Beastie Boys

Cancer is a beast! The American Cancer Society has recently stated that cancer has already taken 577,190 lives this year. It nevers gets old and you don’t have to be old to get it. Forty-seven-year-old Adam Yauch, better known as “MCA” of the crew that brought you the new style, Beastie Boys, has also lost his three-year battle with cancer. Our prayers are with his family as well as the many others who’ve lost a loved one due to this disease.
