#NewMusic: Goodie Mob “Is That You God”

There are things good and bad that take place in our lives and we have no control over them. Idk about you but I was taught not to question God. At the same time, the (wo)man upstairs is so big and the happenings of this world are so mysterious, you just might get caught asking, “God, is that you?”

Thank God for the Goodie Mob! They just released this soulful and insightful record, which is one of the tracks from the highly anticipated film, ‘The Obama Effect,’ which is set to release July 13th.

#NewMusic: T.I. “Like That”

Tip is preparing to release, ‘Trouble Man’ as soon as Sept 5th. Take a listen to his latest teaser, “Like That.”

In this song he makes the claim that his fans want the old Tip back. Is that totally true? I mean, isn’t that what got em locked up in the first and second place? This song reminds me of the “Ignorant S**t” song Jay-Z produced a few years back. What’s your take?

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.

#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!
