I got the call from the homie Clark Kent. Told me this young boy was up next. MAF. Brooklyn. You already know how I feel about that. Masta Ace is ALWAYS a bonus. Plus, the video is tight as it’s a whose who extravaganza. Remember his name. And remember A.T.F.
Props.

Iron Fist and Powerman Making Dollars. Dope right? This cartoonist Kenny Keil is dropping straight heat rock. His Superhero Remix (Hip Hop Classics Edition) series is a comic fiend’s crack pipe. The Illmodok is illmatic, word to Jack Kirby. Peep the rest of this series here.

We had a ball last night over in D.U.M.B.O., Brooklyn, with the good folks at PNC Radio. Under the guidance of super producer A-King, Dallas Penn was as sharp as ever, I ran mouth and our guest hostess NY Delight delighted us with her female presence.

Ya’ll know how much I love Brooklyn, and how I stay in the neighborhood I grew up in, Crown Heights. Some of ya’ll might have also seen how my home was featured on that HGTV show. Crown Heights is on the come up, gentrification is in full swing. Shit is looking sweet ’round here.

I don’t really know what the fluck is going on. This internet virus shit is a pain. Last week as I was about to get busy with my blog 1,2, I noticed my shit getting flagged for being virus laden again. WTF? I’ve since left Network Solutions, the server that was hosting this site. Still, [...]
