Insomnia is my best friend & my worst enemy.

JAY ELECTRONICA PRESENTS MORE EVIDENCE: EXHIBIT C

DAMN, DAMN, DAMN.

Jay Electronica is beating us in the head once again with some lyrical c-r-a-z-i-n-e-s-s.

Obviously I mean this in the BEST way possible.

I'm a few hours late on the update, but better late than never.

Check the radio rip for "Exhibit C" produced by Just Blaze, which should motivate all rappers to burn their rhyme books (or delete all notes in the blackberry/iPhone/whatever ya'll write rhymes into) and start ALL over. This song is killing everything out there right now.

Also: view the lyrics for Exhibit C that Jay Electronica emailed FWMJ here

If you happen to live in a cave and missed Exhibit A or B, download them below & try to get out of the house a little more...(or at least get closer to a better internet connection...lol)

CHACE INFINITE TAKES IT PERSONAL...(VIDEO & DOWNLOAD)

Chance Infinite, 1/2 of the amazing group Self Scientific (which also includes DJ Khalil*) has taken a very popular thought amongst emcees and turned it into a project with his"I Would Have Killed This" mixtape.

The project features Chace over tracks that DJ Khalil created for other artists and I have to say...Chace def bodied ALL of them.

In my opinion, Chace is, without question, of THEE most underrated/slept on emcees out there. This man stays dropping jewels that lots of people miss on the regular, sadly.

Download this mixtape and check the video for the 1st track on the cd, titled "Personal Religion" (done over the the beat for Jay-Z's "Mama I made It"*).

Shout to the homie Dedan Kasimu, I see you, brother.

I Eeny Meeny Miny Moe Them Hoes, I'm SO trill [Monday Motivation]

For one reason or another, I woke up this morning with EXTRA movement in my 2-step. lol

I personally feel like the song "Trill" by Clipse should have played from heaven as soon as my feet touched the hardwood floor this morning...but since it didn't, I'm posting it here : )

I'm fully aware that this song is a few years old, but it has the same effect on me now as it did when it originally dropped.

This is the type of song that you turn up in the morning and sing to yourself as you get ready for your day.

The type of song that should play as you walk down your block and as you're grocery shopping, slapping corn flakes into your basket from the shelf...lol

As you slide your debit card through the machine, look the checkout person in the eye and say "...b*tch, I'm trill...b*tch, I'm SO trill...". Wink at them if you're feeling extra Trill.

Enjoy your Monday, you trill a#$ n*ggas, you ; )

Beyond: RIP Larry Sok

Energy between people is funny sometimes.

There are people that I've known for years, yet still feel distant from. And there are others that I've met and instantly feel connected and bonded to.

Larry was one of those people.

The best relationships, for me, are the ones that energize my spirit. The ones that make me smile and bring positivity to my day. The ones that motivate me to do more; to live more.

My connection with Larry did that and I know I'm not alone. I know that Larry made many peoples lives more full and more lively. And if I feel this way today, after only being friends with him for a relatively short time, I can only imagine the heart break that his long time friends & family are experiencing now.

Larry's body may have been laid to rest today, but a spirit such as his has no choice but to continue soaring. Hopefully the way he lived his physical days here on earth will motivate all who know him to live as he did, fully & with excitement.

This is not the end. It's simply Larry's transition into the next phase of his life.

He's simply traveled beyond.

Blessings, L.

I'm so thankful for your presence, then and now.

THROWBACK THURSDAY: "NEW JACK HUSTLER" - ICE T

When I was a kid, Ice T was one of my favorite emcees. I don't know how I got away with listening to his music but this song was my morning, get ready for school anthem for a griiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip.

Check the Mike Tyson cameo in the video

"Hustler... word, I pull the trigger long... grit my teeth, spray.... till every niggas gone"

THROWBACK THURSDAY: "PUNKS JUMP UP TO GET BEAT DOWN" - BRAND NUBIAN

This song right here is an undisputed champion classic hip hop track. I can't tell you how many times I rewound my tape just to hear this song alone. lol


Enjoy.
