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<<<

Black friday is the day that an amazing project will be unleashed upon the music world. Put together by Dame Dash and The Black Keys, it will feature a host of amazing artists. The videos showing bits of the process of this glorious complation's creation speak for themselves. Damn i love music! The Black Keys studio looks like it just pumps music and creativity into the air. Wish i had one of my own....

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]
