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.

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!!!

UMC Teaser from kwest on Vimeo.

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.

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

sidenote: Was this a Zoolander face? Sheesh!

The other day I get a phone call by an associate of mine named Big Ray. He goes “Hey, can you model in my fashion show?” At first I found it weird that he would ask me to do such a thing, no homo! But then, I am somewhat of a celebrity so I was just flattered by the opportunity (I am a celebrity dammit! I swear). And me being the media hound that I am, I jumped right into character and became the infamous “Gabbana J”.

Gabbana J had a ball! Surrounded by beautiful people, free food and drinks, and fresh clothes! The brand I was selected to rock was Cezer. The gear is pretty fresh as far as urban wear is concerned. It’s for the dudes who don’t wanna rock a polo but still wanna go to that upscale event. This is hood couture at it’s finest. Matter of fact check out their website WWW.CEZER.COM.

Personal style is what makes you an individual. The right style can give a person confidence and swagger. It’s not about being the first one with this or having the latest “man purse”. It’s looking at something and giving it “FRESH POTENTIAL”. Love yourself and rock what you love, that’s style.. and people will love you for it.

Now the people that are close to me know that I’ma big fan of the D&G label. Can’t afford most of the shit, but if anyone out there is interested in sending me a gift. These kicks are the way to go!

Plus, since I’m no hater, I’ll give you guys the link to check them out yourselves.. Step ya game up!
