A couple hours ago, Trevor appeared on Mr. Murdoch’s morning show and performed “Arab Money” and “Hustlers Anthem” for his viewers. The B.O.M.B. drops May 19th!

A couple hours ago, Asher P. Roth appeared on Jimmy Fallon’s nightly gig and performed “Be By Myself,” backed by house band, The Roots. Sans the baritone, I swear Tyriq, Black Thought could pass for a modern day Lou Rawls!

Didn’t think Ricky would ever show his mug again after receiving that cease and desist from Louis V earlier this week. Nontheless, he’s making his rounds and last night appeared with the milk man Magazeen on Letterman to perform a cut off Deeper Than Rap.

At a recent show in San Fran, Sai Giddy performed one of my favorites. The bonus track from the much-heralded XXL Raps compilation, “Come Again.” That last sentence was typed with tongue placed firmly in cheek. Oh well one day, YN will EP (Executive Producer) an album again. Ha!

Although my light-skinned brother, DJ Drama reps the ATL to the fullest, my favorite jawn (Philly style) is the last track on GG2 featuring N’awlins finest. Who needs Wayne, when we have his fellow Hot Boys B.G. and Juve? Plus, a posthumous verse from Soulja Slim. How real is that?

See ya at Best Buy on Tuesday, you bastards!

In case you ain’t figured it out yet, I’m bumpin’ that new Meth and Red. And despite my disgust of underwhelming Wu saturation, there’s indeed some heat on here. You young hip-hoppers on Twitter were right. YN’s gonna cop this one too on Tuesday.
You can’t go wrong with a good intro.

Masego continues to show his creativity and versatility with Studying Abroad: Extended Stay. The combination of live instrumentation, smooth vocals, and West Indian influences makes this project an exciting listening experience. Adding new collaborations with talented artists gives fans even more reasons to explore the album and appreciate its musical diversity. I also appreciate how music and learning can connect through creativity, exploration, and new experiences. In the same way that listeners explore different musical styles, people can improve their practical skills by learning useful techniques such as "How to calculate proportions easily". Understanding proportions can make everyday calculations, comparisons, and problem solving much simpler. This is a great reminder that exploring new ideas can be rewarding in music, education, and daily life.
