Now ask yourself, Are you grinding hard enough? LMAO

Legendary DJ and hip hop icon Grandmaster Flash has announced that he is set to release his first album of new material in 20 years, with ‘The Bridge: Concept Of A Culture’ due to hit on February 23rd.

One of hip hop’s true innovators, Grandmaster Flash’s skills on the turntables inspired an entire generation to swap their guitars for decks. Tracks such as ‘The Adventures Of Grandmaster Flash On The Wheels Of Steel’ are the equivalent of the Rosetta Stone to DJs, igniting a fire that burns to this day.

On the new album Flash is joined by other hip hop legends such as A Tribe Called Quest’s Q-Tip, Busta Rhymes and Snoop Dogg. It is Grandmaster Flash’s first record since ‘On The Strength’ in 1988.

I’d like to welcome you all to JUMZ.com. As you can see I been runnin’ this blog for a minute, but today is the official launch. The internet has had a lot to do with my music career so far, so in return I wanted to give people a chance to get to know me and my ideas in a much more personal way. I ask that everyone come back to my blog everyday, twice a day, three times a day!

Support The Movement

Below I got a few banners for people to add to heir webpages and such. Spread the word and tell your friends about me, I’ll have more banners available to you soon. Thanks again.

Listen you suckers, I lost faith in common years ago and I don’t even think his last two albums were all that.. BUT, and that’s a very big but! I heard this track at Marquee the other night while I was hangin with the boy Blue Chip, and I didn’t even realize Kanye’s blog already had a teaser video! This is what I heard!!!

Now if you know hip hop this joint is a str8 bite off of Planet Rock and I think this one is produced by Pharrel because I thought I heard his voice when the video comes on.. Anyways, this is certified CRACK! COSIGN JUMZ!!!

Being that this is my blog and I plan to practice nepotism ’till the wheels fall off, I want you guys to check out this music video from Harlem bred rapper FASTLYFE. “Fresh Like Me” is full of braggadocio lyrics and savvy punch lines on the backdrop of everything that makes Harlem what it is today, fresh clothes, jewels, and 145th Street! lol  Let’s not forget that the track was produced by the ol’ boy Fire aka Fbeats.

Slot machines in the freaking airport?? Yeah, absolutely.

The city I once thought was just a myth had finally become tangible. I’ve seen the TV ads and so many movies and sitcoms boasting about how wonderful this place is. The lights, the prostitutes, and the dry heat all coming to fruition, finally!

I came out here to build on some relationships with influential people and also get my “relax” on. I brought music with me but I didn’t write, had my laptop but I didn’t go online, and I had my cell but only a few people got my attention. In this business you need to let yourself go for a bit, not too much! The time off is good for inspiration. And what better place to be inspired then Las FUCKIN’ Vegas!

Yeah Baby!! Let it all ride on black!

Once again in my quest for stardom I found myself on a red carpet with a bunch of influential people, models, executives, and artists. Some days I feel like events of the “industry” kind are really a waste of time but this one was no doubt the place to be last night. There were the cool people, the sexy people, the wealthy people, and the artsy people. Where did I fall in? Damn near everywhere after chugging down the good stuff at the open bar! Gotta love that grey goose, SHEESH!

sidenote: Olivia is a BAD BITCH! whew..

Anyways, the kid AJ Crimson is a celebrity make-up artist, he really does his thing and he’s well known for it. A special thanks to his team and PDGPR for the special invite.

Check out who was in the house…

Yeah David, that’s Forrest Whitaker… lol
