Here is an old friend and a great MC with a smart video. The record was put out last year , please go and support Breez Deez Treez . Noordeman was the producer of the film. The filmmaker printed 100 frames of video at a time so he could carry the printouts around with him, sketching the individual frames in pencil whenever he had a chance. Noordeman then transitioned to to brush-painted animation, while his partner Christie Wright conceived of an animated ink-drawn line to tie the different elements together. The result is a mix of live-action and hand-drawn. Which came out real cool … check it out for your-self

There is a quiet boom happening in the music industry with young talented artists. And we ( Luv4art ), are in the front lines. Jesse Boykins is one of the many artists we have in our optics. His sound is born by Sade, Marvin Gaye, and D’Angelo. It’s slow, romantic and soft. Amorous is his take on love and relationship using London as his back drop….

” Now ” what I’m presenting today is a new M.I.A music video Born Free, (it is not for weak stomach).
Romain Gavras is a French director , have created short piece like Jus†ice, Stress… he is a new filmmaker that have the buzz. His style is violent with powerful images and gruesome content. If you are a fan of Schindler’s List you are going to like this short. It’s a brilliant piece of work.

Trackademicks is one of my favorite new producers to come on the the scene. His remixes for Keisha Cole, Raphaell Saddiq, Pharrell in this series have been some of the best I’ve heard in years. I got a chance to meet Trackademicks at the Foreign Exchange show last year during CMJ, and he said this project was in the works. Track’s blend of electro, hyphy and funk are on full display here. If you like what you hear be sure to check out Vol’s 1 and 2….track listing after the jump.

I feel that the combination of Yahzarah with production help from her Foreign Exchange band mates, will finally bring her the attention her talent deserves. The sound on the sampler is vibrant and refreshing, I’m sure Nicolay and Phonte put on the works for this project. So on May 4th go out and get this album, let’s support this talented lady!!!!

What more can I say about this…. I am in my late 30′s so the feel for hip-hop have change for me. It’s not as fresh and new as much. I have taken a more complex and mature position around hip-hop music. So to find music that meets some of me needs has become a test. To have groups like Little Brother call it quits, further the struggle…
Little Brother you will be miss….

I am an enormous .. fan of Nelson George’s work , from Soul City on VH1 to the movie Good Hair with Chris Rock. He brings his journalistic presentation to his beautifully produces show on line BlackAtlas. If you are a traveling fan or love the traveling channels, here is a show that is based on places I would love to visit.

A good friend wrote an article for Centric TV.com
I felt the need to care the blog
When Alex Haley’s estate was auctioned off to pay debts, a great deal of items related to his research for The Autobiography of Malcolm X were also sold. From hand written letters by Malcolm X, Elijah Muhammad and Betty Shabbazz to three chapters that were left out of the autobiography. The chapters were sold for just over $21,000 and purchased by entertainment attorney, Gregory Reed.
These three chapters—from what Time Magazine named one of the most important nonfiction books of the 20th Century— will appear in the latest edition of the book. Additionally, one of Malcolm’s daughters Ilyasah Shabazz (pictured after the break) has agreed to write a new foreword for this edition of the book. The omitted chapters will be revealed at a ceremony commemorating Malcolm’s 85thbirthday, May 19th at the Malcolm X & Dr. Betty Shabazz Memorial & Education Center in New York.

Malcolm X remains a complex and defining visionary in the scope of history. The buying and selling of the icons personal items could be seen as an attempt to grasp the man behind the myth, but maybe it should serve as a cautionary tale for us all. As Malcolm said, “History is a people’s memory…” so we’d do well not to lose ours.—ADISA VERA BEATTY
