#NewMusic: Chester French “Black Girls”

Two of my favorite musicians, DA Wallach & Maxwell Drummey have bursted back onto the public scene together, re-introducing Chester French to the a world that missed the hell out of them. Their thoughtful, yet unapologetic lyrics are very much so apparent in their new release, “Black Girls.”

Race is a big deal in America and this racy video features a lesbian, interracial couple that has no shame in embracing each other on camera. Interestingly, Chester French makes no appearance in this video, which is fine if you like to watch two women get it on for four minutes. Hopefully, you can see the bigger picture being painted in living color, while appreciating the lyrics at the same time. In this song, lead singer, DA, exclaims that the world is turning brown and I’d have to agree. But this Friday, we’re going green!

[DJ] A$AP SCRATCH –(Jam Master Jay Son)

Usually when you hear about child protege’s, they get a lot of backlash for not creating their own lane. From Eazy E to Rev. Run, there’s a long list of celebrities kids that’ve tried to match their parents swag. ASAP Scratch, the DJ for the Mob that A$AP Rocky is the face of, is the son of Jam Master Jay and if you peep the video above, you’ll definitely hear and see the resemblance. Shouts out to the homie Scratch for keeping his father’s memory alive!

Who’s Winning the Twitter and Facebook Presidential Election? [INFOGRAPHIC]

According to the infographic on the side, social media could possibly predict the end result of this year’s presidential election. If there is a conversation occurring about politics, it’s probably taking place on Twitter. If there has been any controversy with a candidate, a status has been in reference to it and posted on Facebook. Although the game has changed, most candidates still can’t equip their campaign as much as President Obama when it comes to having a presence on the online platforms that most of his demographic hangs out on.

An interesting fact: If the presidency was based off of popularity online, Lady Gage would be the elect and Justin Bieber would be the country’s first 1st man-boy.

#NewMusic: Stalley “God’s Child”

One of my lil homies killed himself this weekend and it had me kinda f*d up. He was always walking round talking bout God and his goodness and then just like that he loses his mind and commits suicide. I want to believe that even though he took matters in his own hands, he is favored and spared by God. Only God can be that judge though.

I’ve got a tattoo on my right arm that is reminiscent of the infamous “The Godfather” font and logo. It’s remixed to read.” God The Father.” When I saw this song title, “God’s Child” and began to listen to it, it reminded me of the relationship that I have with the same guy Stalley’s talking about. If you didn’t know, there’s a big man upstairs who’s been looking out since day 1, despite our lack of faithfulness. If haven’t already, I encourage you get to know em. Even Blu knows who God’s son is!

#NewMusic: Hassani Kwess “Kick The Bass, Chuck”

The DC native, Qaptain Kwess, is continuing his quest to make a name for himself, online and off. Just recently, he was featured on Asher Roth’s latest Pabst & Jazz project where he and Roth embraced the Chuck Inglish-produced melody.

Inglish speaks a language that only true artists can understand. Somewhat similar to ATCQ’s, Can I Kick It, Hassani Kwess gives the producer the permission before he asks. On this new record, Kwess talks back to Chuck creating a conversation called hip-hop. Kick the Bass, Chuck!
