New Roots album How I Got Over out now for 7.99 on Amazon! Feelin’ this track and vid “Dear God 2.0″ more than some of the others (even though evasive talent Blu is on “The Day”), but overall the album doesn’t disappoint. Who’s going to the Roots Jam tonight or the Prospect Park show on the 11th?
Second, just want to echo Fader’s statement about this new single from (Diddy), Ricky ROSS! and Nicki Minaj. Though Diddy doesn’t impress on the mic, props to the arrangement of this remix collaboration. Been missing Ross, whose flow is always braggadociously funny, and as for Minaj, the rainbow bright space-bot steez suits her theatrical rap-attacks perfectly. Enjoy!
This Saturday a dear friend of mine is throwing a great benefit for the rural Kenyan community of Sereolipi.
