#NewMusic: Alori Joh “The Love Religion” [Download]

The untimely death of a soul so angelic left so many people wondering, who, what, when, where, and why – but only God truly knows. Yesterday evening, a select group of family, friends, and mourners in the community gathered to remember the life and legacy of Alori Joh.

Online the outpour of love and disbelief is endless. Her last tweet was of her promoting her sister’s Tumblr. And if you happen to visit her sister’s Twitter page, you’ll witness her reaching out to one of the TDE affiliates asking about Alori’s whereabouts. And as you digest that, you might be able to imagine the emotions of Alori’s sibling.

“The Love Religion” is the last official project of the late Alori Joh. Get familiar and download HERE

T.D.E. 1st Lady, ALORI JOH, Gone Too Soon! [12/16/86 - 2/8/12]

This morning I got word that Alori Joh passed away and like most people who knew of her work or knew her personally, I’m speechless. The lovely songstress was known most for her connection to T.D.E., the collective that houses talent such as Kendrick Lamar, Jay Rock, SchoolBoy Q and Ab-Soul.

I met her at the 2DopeBoyz BBQ in L.A. and upon introduction I expressed how beautiful her music was. We interacted on Twitter about upcoming music. While discovering her music for the first time, I’d reached out to her and bigged her up on the “Brazil” record with D Tonez.

If you ask me, she was well on her way. I don’t get how such a beautiful soul could leave so mysteriously. If the cause of death below is true, my mind will be a scattered puzzle for a while.

Twitter Beef Ends In Violence

This gangbanging sh!! never gets old in LA but for some reason I feel like hip-hop has made it even more cool.

A negative Twitter dialogue could possibly be the cause of the unconfirmed death of @Rosemo700, whom is identified as a known Blood in Inglewood, CA. Over the weekend, videos on Worldstar have surfaced featuring @Rosemo700 as the main character in the assault of another young man because of an exchange of words on the major social platform that never sleeps. A couple days later, Twitter has claimed he’s been slain. This is said to be the same guy that allegedly knocked out The Game in the FoxHills mall a few weeks back.

Idk if this guy is dead or not, but its shocking to me that he could be. There are thousands of videos on Worldstar of young people getting knocked out, shot at, stabbed, jumped, etc. We watch them and laugh. How often do we sit back and analyze what happens next? One thing is for sure, they’re still banging in LA HARD!

THINK I’M KIDDING???

Most Kings: Fred Shuttlesworth (3/18/1922 – 10/5/2011)

It’s funny, when you see Martin Luther King marching in Selma, seldom do we acknowledge those who marched alongside him. In reality, there were a lot of ‘Kings’ that we don’t pay tribute to. We only remember the figures that are in the forefront, which is unfortunate.

Because of my own ignorance and lack of knowledge as well, those that were hired to inform me in public education, I knew nothing of Fred Shuttlesworth, until his passing today. However, he was a ‘king’ throughout the movements of the civil rights, in his own right. So I write this, hopefully, to educate another young person about a man as great as Mr. Shuttlesworth! And truth-be-told, everyone won’t make the spotlight but that shouldn’t discourage you from being active.
