Anyone who knows me, knows I love me some Queen Latifah. I still bump Black Reign on a regular. One of the dopest female emcee’s in the game (and don’t ever forget that), a great singer and Oscar nominated actress. Damn. Well, she’s back. After releasing a couple Jazz/American Song Book albums (which were both superb may I add), she drops “Chains” – a contemporary R&B/Pop banger…
Queen Latifah – “Chains”
It’s a nice lil’ track! Is it the best thing I’ve ever heard in my life? Nope, but still – I like it. Queen Latifah’s new album Persona will drop later this year. I’m looking forward to that, judging by this track, I reckon we’ll hear her spit once again! Ah, that’s the stuff.
Peace, Love & Queen Latifah

Izza Kizza just dropped his follow up to Kizzaland with The Wizard of Iz mixed by Nick Catchdubs. I’m just about to press play on it, so can’t really say much but what I will say is if it’s anything like his first mixtape, this will be hot. Izza Kizza, who still remains kind of unknown, is Timbaland’s protégé and like Timbo brings it hard with a) his beats and b) his crazy rhymes! I recommend you download this (and Kizzaland) and get to know him. *Warning: If I’m being honest, I don’t think Kizza will be everyones cup o’ tea – just thought I’d throw that out there*.
…I’ll try come back with a review in a bit. Also, after the jump check the cool lil’ mixtape release party commercial which features one of the dopest movies e-v-e-r made! Haha!
Peace, Love & Kizzaland

Yup, that’s a still from Eminem’s new video for “3 AM”. That’s more like it Marshall!
…The rapper will debut his new, uncensored video on Cinemax (which us UK folks don’t get) on May 2nd. The video was directed by Syndrome and will air just prior to Cinemax’s Saturday night pay television premiere of the horror flick “The Strangers”.
Nice. Can’t wait to see what this one’s like. I think “3 AM” is a dope track (I know a lot of you don’t), so am definitely interested to see what he comes up with, especially with that kind of still!
Peace, Love & Eminem

Doubt VH1′s SoulStage will air over here (sucks), so I’m hoping Chrisette Michele’s entire set finds its way online coz this is superb. Check her perform “Epiphany” & “Blame It On Me” off her up-coming album Epiphany…

In my opinion, Jesse Boykins III is on some next level in terms of making this type of music (aka the straight up, unadulterated, right here, right now, baby making type music)…

I didn’t know much about Slakah the BeatChild til’ quite recently. I was put on his album SoulMovement Vol. 1 by a mate and haven’t looked back. Infact, I have to stop listening to it soon, coz I hate getting sick of really, really dope albums. Anyways, here goes the latest leak from the album (which doesn’t feature Drake)…
Slakah the BeatChild Feat Drake – “Enjoy Ya Self”
It’s just so freakin’ good! Like, the entire album. Infact, I’m gonna need to spotlight this album on PinBoard. Watch for that next week. It’s ridiculous how great it is. Until then, ‘enjoy ya self’ with this.
Peace, Love & Slakah the Beatchild
