Sat in as guest co-host on The Morning After with Angela Yee. And in honor of 4-20, we talked to Asher Roth about his new album and chopped it up with certified smoker Dame Dash? Color me naive, but I didn’t know Boogie’s pops got down like that.

A J Train-ridin’, pause-tape makin’ 15-year-old talks about creating his debut album, meeting De La Soul, the formation of Native Tongues and the bidding war that brought Tribe to Jive. On the latter, you gotta learn to live with regrets. Ha!

Whoo Kid gets a haircut and a shave as Talib Kweli shoots a quick video for the song I brought to the Internets a lil while back. Damn, the nigga Mr. Greene could have at least taken his hat off and shit. Ha! Shout out to Dan The Man.

A watermelon-eatin’ MC Serch. Red Alert’s record carrier, Baby Chris Lighty. The “Bridge Is Over” acetate. Who’s DJ Flamboyant? The origin of his group’s name. Yup, more crazy musings from The Abstract.
Bonus: Shut up and listen.
“The Promo”

The hottest rapper in the Rotten Apple (Tell ’em I said that) has his first official radio interview with the Voice of New York.
Part 1: Missed the very beginning talk of his TV past and he pretty much confirms the Jay-Z/Just Blaze rumor is true.

Props to DJ Ness who beat us all to the punch with his 1–2 combo. But like I did with my Kanye West SXSW footage, I like to roll my shit out chronologically so you can get the real feel of what it was like to be there. Plus, it helps me keep better track of these large ass video files. Ha!
Anyway, this is the first interesting segment of the sit down where Kamaal talks about his childhood, losing talent shows in high school and how he got down with the Jungle Brothers.

A big look for Rick Ross’ bawse who charmed Mr. Rose at a dinner to get his shine on here. Eat your heart out, Hov. Speaking of which, Antonio praises Jay as our Frank Sinatra who discovered Kanye West. (Sorry Dame!) He also recalls his time with Babyface as being the guy, behind the guy (pause); bigs up 50 Cent and Beyonce; and details how he squashed the beef with rival exec Clive Davis. If you have any interest in the music biz, take heed to the words of Mr. Reid.
Where’s my ads? Ha!

"Travel Places" is such a classic track from The Chef. Raekwon really brought that gritty, storytelling flow that reminds me of the golden era. It’s the perfect song to have on your playlist while traveling to go shopping. Speaking of traveling, if you’re heading to Malaysia, check out some calvin klein johor premium outlet reviews before you go. It’s a great spot to grab some gear while keeping your style on point. Overall, a solid addition to the OB4CL2 collection!
