Happy Monday!! Me(Theory), Dimensions and Noyeek try to make music every Monday…If nothing else we build our friendship and skills with these sessions, and, for the first time, you get to sit in. I’m on my new toy, a sick drum pad, groovin with the sticks and foot pedal to a dope cover of The Carpenters “We’ve only just begun”. Dimension and Grizz light it up with some verses…It’s worth a look! No practice..I threw the camera up and pressed record… Let us know what you think! This could be the new Monday tradition! Everyone have a great week and we’ll see u next Monday with another session!
Singer/spoken word artist Dehejia Maat has blazed stages from DC to Japan. Here, she covers the Billie Holiday classic “God Bless The Child”, then segues into some very psychedelic poetry about her aquatic origins (Hendrix is smiling somewhere). Best of the golden era, with a touch of the new…the new golden era…shining in the now. Check out the video above and drop your responses below…
As soon as I took this flick, I knew it would be a good year for us…beauty is a good luck charm, so Grizz standing next to her must have surely been a good omen. LOL. Sure enough, the year ended strong with LOADS of critical love in the blogsphere for the “Double R: Remixes and Rarities” project (which you can still download for free right here), including an extraordinary review by the newly revamped Start of the Line blog (welcome back to the blogosphere, homie!) as well as love from heavyweight bloggers such as the Okayplayer-approved good folk at rappersiknow.com (Jamie B and FWMJ, what up!) and SOHH founder’s eponymous blog kevinnottingham.com
(12/27 update: Flawless Hustle also joined the Double R party; thank you for the love as well!)
You really can’t get enough shots of Ms. Melanie Fiona in your life, so I might as well hit you off with another…
Roc Nation, what up! Tell Hov to holla at us, man! LOL…
ps: I also had loads of fun rhyming at Bohemian Caverns tonight…respect to Mental Stamina…Dimes jumped on stage for an impromptu battle session…niceness! Anyone with video or photos, please holla….
