A million?! That’s a lot of ballpoint pens, huh?!

A bunch of the homies in Milwaukee have united to produce the featured song of the day. While I’ve heard talk about its production, I was a bit shocked to see it publicized as a completed project this morning. Pizzle released his Fame in Vain album a little earlier in the year and has gotten a lot of positive reviews for his part in the Green & Yellow collaboration w/ Prophetic. This song, however, is going to give him and his C.M.G. gang a lot of momentum, as it should. Rico Love is a very important piece to a lot of puzzles and now it’s coming together.
Rico is definitely a big draw, but I was actually very pleased to hear the talent of Kiara DuPree, one whom I’ve had the pleasure of working with in her earlier stages. It’s good to see she’s still at it and hopefully this isn’t the last that we’ll see of her. In fact, I wanna see a video for this!

Shouts out to the homies Derelle Rideout and Deonte Hayes for their instrumentation.
It’s very troubling to know these young people are still not joking about taking the lives of other people. Like, I can imagine them saying, “I’ll kill that dude.” Then I ask, are we really that angry? There’s people in gov’t that’s doing much worse things to us and we aren’t even educated enough to get mad about it. That’s another sad story to weep about.
This morning, I woke up to friends of mine saying rest in peace and farewell to a person we all knew. It reminds me that one day you’re cool and then the next people could be talking about how cool you were. Andruw Damone, you were one cool dude! In high school, I enjoyed our back n forth banter but now you’re in a higher place.
Whether this unfortunate occurrence was over money, a girl, a mean mug in the club, a bad drug deal gone wrong, or two dudes that just didn’t get along, it still wasn’t worth taking the life of another.
“We gotta start makin’ changes. Learn to see me as a brother instead of 2 distant strangers. And that’s how it’s supposed to be. How can the Devil take a brother if he’s close to me? I’d love to go back to when we played as kids but things changed, and that’s the way it is…” Tupac Shakur
I almost feel like I am preaching to the choir or I’m in the choir and we’re singing the same ol’ song. It’s no news to us, being the ones that are always sitting on the curbs in these situations with police officers pulling over our vehicles because they think we may fit one of their descriptions. I remember a cop pulling me over in Milwaukee and blatantly saying we’re looking for guns and drugs. He took me out the car, placed me in the back of his squad car and began a search. He found nothing and released me. To some, this may seem like an unfortunate event, however, I’m used to that as much as I am the seasonal snowstorm. The real question is, should I be?
The Journal Sentinel, Milwaukee’s premier news source, has confirmed a recent study that expresses what we’ve known since we were allowed to drive cars: “A black Milwaukee driver is seven times as likely to be stopped by city police as a white resident driver.”

It’s the third day that I’ve sought out some of the country’s dopest female representation in hip-hop. What’s ill is that two out of the three are from my hometown, Milwaukee. You’ve gotta give a listen to this young lady, Signif. As a matter of fact, follow her on Twitter immediately after you check out one of her most recent audio visuals and download her latest collection of music below. You will probably be more confused than disappointed because she’s definitely not getting the recognition that she should be.
