Back To The Beat...

Well everyone I know I haven't written in a couple weeks. I've been inside my head too much, over thinking things and being over critical.  Lately my life has taken a little turn more like veered off the road. Sometimes life can throw you curves and you feel like what's the point of having passion? But that's just it, when you truly love to do something whether its writing a blog, music, or cooking passion is in control and you feel guilty without it. So back to the grind Not to fear I'm not in the ditch yet! I just need to get back to my BEAT and continue to listen to it... I love writing about Hip-Hop but I feel there is so much more I want to say! I've been so focused on profiling artists I haven't been speaking on the social issues I find important.  So I'm going to start a little side writing just to express myself.  I'm calling it StreetBeat yeah I know a little corny :) but ya gotta love it :) First post of StreetBeat coming shortly! To all my readers (if I have any) thanks for listening... IS ANYONE OUT THERE? If you guys have ANY issues you want me to discuss or touch on leave me a comment and I'll help you be heard!

Roc Nation: J.Cole Bringing That REAL Back!

I'm sure all you HipHop Heads are really diggin J.Cole right now!! He's got a crazy flow..and lyrically one of the best I've heard in a while! I really loved his mixtape (thanx to @chillchill24) The Warm Up. Now he's getting major play on MtvJams and has recently been Nominated MTV's "Hottest Breakthrough MC Of 2010"

 In June he was selected as one of BET's rising icons, was featured on BET's Music Matters initiative, and performed at the BET Awards (Watch Here) He also won  Yo! Raps coveted "Artist to Watch in 2010 Award!! We all know recognition from BET is always good because they usually support a more commercial sound if you know what I mean. 

J.Cole brings a fresh sound with an oldschool flair. I love how he keeps it funky but you still wanna shake ya ass to it.  He speaks the truth and keeps it conscious. Check out his bio, current news,photos and purchase his new single "Who Dat" @ http://www.jcolemusic.com/ and for your viewing pleasure check out the new video for "Who Dat" below!! This one is soooo EPIC!

Battle Of The Barbies

Since Nicki Minaj Exploded on the scene there has been constant comparison of her look to the Queen Lil Kim.  Now Ive gathered some images and you decide. Personally I think Nicki did swagger jack Kim for her style and the Barbie Gimic, which is kinda wack in the first place.  Both women are very sexually explicit in their lyrics and style and then compares themselves to the one toy that every little girl in the world is familiar with and loves!! Its very trashy if you ask me!! Anyway decide for yourselves!

Roc Nation:Who Is Range?

The newest artist signed to Roc Nation is Range.  He's a singer/songwriter who has written for some of the biggest acts in the business from Jennifer Lopez to T-Pain.  Now its his time to shine. His new mixtape hosted by DJ Drama is now available for  Download Here my fav tracks are "Try", "Nothing Wrong", and "As Is" Trey better watch out for this one! He's got a smooth tone mixed with amazing tracks that the club is gonna tear up! Not to mention his sex appeal, definitely easy on the eyes!

Currently preparing material for his Star Roc/Roc Nation debut Range feels he is constantly furthering his education in the rhythmic science of music. “I’m learning how to play guitar as well as studying how to engineer a record,” says Range. “Right now, I am constantly inspired.” ( read his full bio here) Check Out his new single "Ghetto Dance" ft Rick Ross
