Funny Or Die: Shadows With Nas (Video)
April 14, 2011

Nas has been doing a considerable amount of acting lately, but rarely have we ever seen him do a comedy if at all. The Funny Or Die team appears to tap Nas in this particular skit. I didn’t think this Funny Or Die skit with Nas was funny at all until the very end when I let out a chuckle.

This is the new video & first single from Jilly from Philly’s upcoming album ‘Light Of The Sun’ featuring quite a few cameos from Philly representers like Ms. Jade, Peedi Crakk, Meek Mill, & of course Black Thought of The Legendary Roots Crew. Even Queens New York emcee Pharoahe Monch makes a cameo in the clip. It feels good to see they filmed this video in my old North Philly neighborhood. Feels like I was there….

April 14, 2011
Cam’ron & Vado stand to benefit from the ill production of Araabmuzik who’s supposedly doing the bulk of the work on their upcoming album ‘Gunz ‘N Butta’ due next week April 19th.

Elzhi’s Highly Anticipated Project ‘Elmatic’ To Be Released May 10th
April 13, 2011
Out of the thousands of mixtapes & albums due to be released, this is one project that I’ve been waiting & looking forward to for quite some time now. To me Elzhi, formerly of Slum Village, is Detroit’s version of Nas. He is grossly underrated & when he first announced that he was doing a mixtape project inspired by Nas’s classic ‘illmatic’ album I knew he was best suited to represent well. Until May 10th arrives I’ll leave y’all with a few Elzhi joints that I still bang out on the ipod to hold y’all over…..
