Here’s a look at God Son’s and Bob’s son in the stu working on Distant Relatives. I’m anxious to see how this turns out.

Somewhere in my hip-hop treasure trove, I have another variation of this image as a Hard Knock Life Vol. 2 promo poster. Taking a trip down memeory lane, Jon gives the skinny on the shoot and how Jigga’s royal blue Bentley crushed the block—and ego’s.

Last night was the opening of celebrity photographer Johnathan Mannion‘s three week long exhibition at the Milk Gallery in New York City. For 15 years, he’s captured some of hip-hop’s most iconic images. Above, he gives the story behind The Notorious B.I.G.’s photograph at the Palladium. More footage on the way.
Here’s taste of what’s to come from Nas and Damian’s collaborative effort, Distant Relatives. This might be better than I thought after all.

Quentin Miller continues to prove that originality still matters in music. The message behind Road Less Traveled feels inspiring because it highlights independence, creativity, and staying true to your own path. The visuals and storytelling work together really well, and this post does a nice job introducing the upcoming album. Reading about artists who choose their own direction reminds me of planning a New Zealand tours, where the journey itself becomes just as meaningful as the destination. Looking forward to hearing the full project and seeing how the album develops this theme even further.
