Urban Cartel - Cassette Music

It has been about a week since Urban Cartel dropped their highly anticipated album Cassette Music, and although the album was available to the public for free, the amount of downloads this album has had is tremendous.

It has been a while since we've heard from the big homies in Urban Cartel, but the band has definitely been putting in work all year, performing at shows left & right as well putting together this project, but let me tell you right now, Cassette Music was definitely worth the wait.

The band delivers a 12 track experience with Cassette Music. You can definitely expect the same level of sonic enjoyment you came to love in Sounds From the Red Line, with a few twists here and there, such as Ska and Jay Dilla vibes.

I love that these guys are continuing to blend many different musical ingredients to form the perfect musical soup.... and thats exactly what Cassette Music is... Flavor for your ears

Enjoy.

Element x Diamond Supply Co. Present: Nyjah Huston | Rise & Shine

I know, I know. I've been gone for a minute. I've neglected my own site for almost two months, but not having a laptop can do that to a guy...

There's a lot I havet posted durring that time frame (I hope you've copped Wale's Ambition, A$VP Rocky's Live.Love.A$AP. and the Take Care leak *shrugs*), but I'll try to make up for lost time.

But for now, enjoy my brother Nyjah Huston's Official Trailer from the new Element "Rise & Shine" Skate video.

BAIT!

UpperThinking F/W 2011 Released

The Fall / Winter line of Upperthinking dropped last night at midnight and had twitter going nuts! Having been able to understand the brand and the concepts the creators had, I'm definitely excited to see the line become publicly available and i'm excited to see people purchasing the very product my friends created. A product that never before existed, birthed from a simple idea, a simple concept.

"What is that?" you may ask.

Look no further than UpperThinking for your answer.

And definitely check out their website for Tee's, Hoodies, & Crewnecks before they run out of your size as these WILL be hot commodities on college campuses around the DMV. Don't scrape.

Rally for the DREAM ACT

so last week there was a large movement of students across the nation that came to DC to take a stand for the DREAM ACT. It was a two day event that occurred at both the Senate Building and the White House where students came and let their voices be heard.

Many of the students that had come down were undocumented themselves and were directly affected by the legislation and meeting these kids was amazing, just hearing their stories and what they want to do, where they want to be, all that. i hope they get a chance to accomplish those things.

it was cool seeing young people come together and mobilize like that and im glad i can say i was a part of it.

SUPPORT THE DREAM ACT!

Once Upon a Time...

In 1993, Tupac recieved a letter from the parents of a dying boy, named Joshua. They said it was Joshua’s last wish to meet Tupac. Tupac flew to Maryland to meet Joshua and took him to a basketball game. Soon after Joshua’s death Tupac renamed his publishing company from Ghetto Gospel Music to Joshua’s Dream.

Real.
