Alicia Keys sits down with the ladies of The View to promote her latest offering The Element of Freedom. I am totally respecting this ladies hustle right now – she is working her butt off. The album is, in my opinion, her best work since Songs In A Minor and The Diary of Alicia Keys – it comes highly recommended.
After the jump, you can check Miss Keys performing the now classic “Empire State of Mind Part 2″…
Peace, Love & Alicia Keys

Nas’ verse is cool, but nothing that’s going to blow anyone away.

I have to admit something, I have 100%, categorically, ignored Snoop’s new music. Literally, I have NO reason for it, I’m a fan of the dudes (of course) – and I’m not quite sure why I haven’t been up-to-speed with this latest project. I’m hearing good things about it too – so guess I’ll need to check it out.
…Cool little interview too!
Peace, Love & Snoop Dogg

I swear, I have been sent about 10 EP/Mixtapes today. No joke! I’m really unsure if I’ll post all of them or not. I might do an ‘all-in-one’ post because this is getting stupid haha!
…Anyways, had no choice but to post this. You all know how we feel about Outasight and I know you guys dig what he does too. Brought to us by LRG, this brand new selection of songs is going to ‘further’ open your mind to how ill Outasight really is. I’ve listened to it a couple times already and I’m hooked. This EP is going to be rinsed nicely.
Enjoy. And as always, the tracklist is after the jump…
Peace, Love & Outasight

Excited about getting into this…
From fury to folly, overwhelming enthusiasm to complete rage – madness is a term used to describe an extreme state or extreme journey, which tends to leave the participant altered, sometimes forever. In an era of political corruption, fast paced technology, and what some may argue as a cultural renaissance, madness is sometimes the term that fits best to describe the state we’re living in today. It is the madness that speaks to our generation, and The Madness (Onye-Ala) that Nneka and J.Period present to the world on December 15, 2009. Utilizing J.Period’s unique documentary-style approach to the mixtape, The Madness (Onye-Ala) is a collection of new and remixed tracks from Nneka, the Nigerian born singer/songwriter who is quickly making her stamp on the US.
Featuring guest appearances from heavyweights of all kinds, The Madness (Onye-Ala) includes exclusive new tracks from M-1 (Dead Prez), Jay Electronica, Zumbi (Zion I), Rakaa (Dilated Peoples), Aceyalone (Freestyle Fellowship), General Steele (Boot Camp Clik) & Talib Kweli.

LOL Actually had to make sure I was watching/listening to the right video with this one. Plan B comes out of nowhere with this track. It’s dope (not everyone will think so, but I do) and so is that video. Very impressed. LDN stand up.
