Whether those in attendance were “Ready Or Not”, two-thirds of The Fugees reunited on stage during Rock The Bells on Governor’s Island in NY to recite their single off The Score. Guess Clef wasn’t ready to join ’em.

During yesterday’s Rock The Bells concert on Governor’s Island, Nasir brought out Large Professor, Joe Fatal, and Akinyele to perform his very first recording. “The World Is Yours” with Pete Rock and more below.
Wale, in this track, shows once again his ability to blend different genres. He doesn't limit himself to hip-hop, but enriches it with R&B nuances, creating a familiar sound. This fusion is not only an exercise in style, but serves to intensify the emotional impact of the song. And then there is his ability to rap. Wale is a master at playing with words, creating complex rhymes and modulating his voice to best express his emotions. In 'Blanco', his rap part is an explosion of words that intertwine with the melody, creating a hypnotic and relaxing effect. His ability to go from moments of pure energy to moments of deep introspection is what makes this track so engaging; it reminds me of when you would slow dance, hugging your woman.
