Levels (Live)
If you know and love this guys music like I do then we're probably thinking the same thing......When the FUCK is Bilal dropping a new album!?! Well, the wait is almost over. Word on the pavement is his new album drops early 2010 via Plug Research. Here's some amazing footage of him performing the piece 'Levels' (hooked up by Vtech) that may, or may not be included on said project. Enjoy.
Slept on this but figured maybe you'd want the podcast too since it includes Bilal, Exile, Blu, Pharoahe Monch, Large Professor and J Rocc >>>LINKAGE<<<

Life Under the Scope
Spitta! Yeeerruh!
New visuals from the Jet Set!!! Apparently this video was shot at DD172, Creative Control headquarters, and Directed by Mr. Michael Eaton. Word on the pavement is that DD172 is a complex that Dame Dash created that includes a studio, art gallery, AND TV studio! How the hell did this lil bald fucker dream my dream and make it come true already!?! DAMN!!!! Be on the look out for the project dropping in the future from a group that includes Jay Electronic, Spitta, and MOS DEF!!! (WOW, WTF, HOLY SHYT!!!) The group is gonna be called Center Edge Territory and they're reportedly already six songs deep. I ain't the biggest fan of Jay Elec but if he lives up to the hype he's garnered then this will be a amazing moment in musical history. I can't wait. Also flippin my lid for the Blak Roc project dropping on Black Friday.

Reading is fundamental.
Finally got my book back from a friend the other day so i figured this is a good of a time as any to give my favorite author some free pub. Colin Harrison has been an immediate favorite from the time i picked up his novel Manhattan Noturne. You can find all his shyts on amazon, but you oughta just hit up your local borders and drop that 8-10 bucks on the soft covers so i can keep reading. Here's his Wiki bio:Colin Harrison (born 1960 in New York City) is an American author and editor.
Harrison is the author of seven novels, Break and Enter (1990), Bodies Electric (1993), Manhattan Nocturne (1996), Afterburn (2000), The Havana Room (2004, The Finder (2008), and Risk (2009). Four were selected as Notable Books by The New York Times Book Review. All are atmospheric novels of violence and suspense that explore the underside of city life, most particularly in New York.[1]
His short nonfiction has appeared in The New York Times, New York Magazine, The Washington Post, The Chicago Tribune, Vogue, Salon, Worth, and other publications. He lives in the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn, with his wife, the writer Kathryn Harrison. He was an editor at Harper's Magazine from 1989 until 2001 and since then has been an editor at Scribner.
At Scribner, Harrison edits both fiction and non-fiction. Among the writers he has worked with are Anthony Swofford, Ted Fishman, Craig Unger, Robert Ferrigno, and Chuck Hogan.[citation needed]
Harrison attended the University of Iowa Writers' Workshop (MFA, 1986), Haverford College (BA, 1982), and Westtown School (1978), a coeducational Quaker boarding school, where his father, Earl Harrison, was headmaster.[citation needed]

Video: Lupe Fiasco - Congress Theater Freestyle
I knew Mikey Waxx coming to the Chi was gonna be a great thing. FML for me having to miss all of my city's historic moments lately. More things coming soon. Times have been amazing in the music world lately if you've been camping out in a casket.
Here's some footage of Mikkey Halsted performing his classic "Liquor Store" at Lupe's show (SMH @ the feedback on his mic, get it together FOH). Stole up from Fakeshoredrive. And a lil bit of love and comedy from the 'Flict.

The Truth
"New York is one of the capitals of the world and Los Angeles is a constellation of plastic. San Francisco is a lady, Boston has become Urban Renewal, Philadelphia and Baltimore and Washington blink like dull diamonds in the smog of Eastern Megalopolis, and New Orleans is unremarkable past the French Quarter. Detroit is a one- trade town, Pittsburgh has lost its golden triangle. St Louis has become the golden arch of the corporation, and nights in Kansas City close early. The oil depletion allowance makes Houston and Dallas naught but checkerboards for this sort of game. But Chicago is a great American city. Perhaps it is the last of the great American cities."

Frozen
I kept seeing this guys' mixtape on the internetz so i decided to take a look at the vid, especially since he got Rik behind the lens. By the end of the song i was hypnotized by the hook, all the way diggin the video (surpise, surprise), and looking forward to hearing the full mixtape. Heres the full descript on the video in Rik Cordero's words:
Here is the first visual off Jared Evan’s “Radio In My Head” Mixtape titled “Frozen” which is also featured on Lebron James’ “More Than A Game” Soundtrack. I remember showing the original version of this video to Puff during a studio session and he was like “Who is that kid, I want to meet him now!” After that moment it was pretty clear that Jared would get a shot and not only would he get a shot but his calling card to the labels would be in the form of a music video presentation. I’m not sure if that’s ever happened before but I do feel good knowing that a video that was driven purely by artistic passion lead to a very gifted kid realizing his dreams.

No Shackle, No Sugar. All Sabotage.
Life is different and I like when artists have alternate personalities like this one....AllSabotage.com. If you can recognize the voice you prolly appreciate the artistic diversity. Links stole up from Meka & Shake's spot.

Team Red Hulk
This is my first season participating in a fantasy football league and i must say that it is making the NFL 3 times as exciting as usual. If you haven't had a chance to get into a league with your I-know-everything-about-football-shyt-talking buddies, i suggest you try it out. Not encouraging gambling but a monetary prize for the superbowl winner does make it interesting. My team is now 4-2 and i plan to keep the wins coming. Team Red Hulk Succkaz!!!!Dun.Gridiron.

Stole up from Andrew's spot.
My Anthem right now....
Admittedly not a Taylor Gang fan from the start of his wave, i have been increasingly impressed with his present work such as this track and his work with the FS Jets. This shyt is auto classic and im interested to see what Deal or No Deal can bring on Nov 24."Deplane or let fly..."

i'm a BUSINESS, man....
Kids who do you wanna be like when you grow up? I don't know your definition of a role model but uh, Mr. Jackson is definitely one to look up to on the business side. Jay-Z is the only other person I know of in the entertainment business playing chess this well and succeeding so consistently in such a short time span.
