Smooth B – “Before” (Explicit Version) [Video]
March 11, 2020
I ain’t f**king with you, if there is no synergy.
Over 30 years in the game, and Smooth B (of Nice And Smooth fame) is still notorious AND glorious! This time he is a solo act. No Greg, but Smooth is Nice on the mic with this “Before” (Explicit Version) jawn. Salute to The Legendary Smooth B.
I subscribed after watching this. Respek on the name Smooth B #HowToFlow #LikeThis

Ras Kass – “Silver Anniversary” (Prod. By Twiz The Beat Pro) [Video]
March 10, 2020
How you gone be a menace it when ain’t no MEN in it? Oh they WOMENaces…
Yeah. We have been getting 25 years of pure venom like that from Ras Kass!!
It’s been nearly a quarter century since Soul On Ice and they still can’t handle the truth. In fact, the intervening decades since Ras Kass dropped his classic debut have only validated the poisonous and panoramic vision of the waterproof MC, who was immediately hailed as the West Coast’s answer to Nas. And with the Nature Of The Threat growing more real by the minute, there couldn’t be a more necessary time for Soul on Ice 2.

Fredo Pounds – “Windows” (Prod. By Pots & Pans) [Video]
March 10, 2020
There is only one thing not to like about this video… NOTHING! Everything is love! Even down to giving camera time, in the video, to the owner of the hood spot where he shot the video. I imagine they (Fredo Pounds, GrecTvFIlmz) envisioned how they could do the vid with footage shot in the store, approached the guy and told him of their plans, and dude was down; esp. with a shout for his biz, since it will likely get more visits as Fredo ‘Pounds’ the pavement (and the Internet ‘super highway’) for more visits for himself and GrecTvFIlmz. By all the “Windows” shopping they will be doing (e.g. promo work), everyone benefits! That’s how you do good BUSINESS people. Let the blessings that flow from your work bless others #RealLabor #RealFruit #ShareFruit #BLESS
Plus, dude got HELLA BARZ! Hmm. Should we follow all this ‘blessed’ talk with ‘hella’ though? Well, we’re doing it #BecauseHellaBlessed #ThatPartToo
Repek on the names Fredo Pounds for the spits that hit HARD, Pots & Pans for the beat that let a real emcee EAT, and GrecTvFIlmz for the film for him!
Buffalo, New York emcee, Fredo Pounds, just released a new mixtape titled “Intent To Distribute.” Check out this visual off of it for the song “Windows.”
“Intent To Distribute” is available now on all platforms.

Tobe Nwigwe – “Slow Down” (Video)
March 9, 2020
Life ain’t easy. Facts. Need to “Slow Down” and reconsider: What got you here won’t keep you here. THINK!
Doesn’t that sound like some deep wisdom? I agree. Wish I had said it. All the above came from me watching the video embedded above that… So, “Slow Down”… at least long enough to enjoy this Tobe Nwigwe work.

Politics: Now The Choice Is Clear For Democrats. It’s Bernie Sanders Or Joe Biden (Video)
March 9, 2020
Okay, so now we have thinned the herd of Democratic opposition for President Trump’s position in 2020. I was clearly on my #FeelTheBern with Senator Sanders last go ’round, but now Papa Joe Biden is in the race for the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Presidential race; Barack Obama’s Veep and right hand man. What to do?
I’ll leave the who to you. But the what… you gotta VOTE! My state’s vote is coming up. And I will be voting for one of these guys, so I really have to study up. Up first (above), I am putting my ‘incumbent’ choice, Bernie Sanders. Hit the jump to see Joe Biden’s speech.

Wise Intelligent Speaks On Hip-Hop Music’s Move Away From Positive Messaging (Video)
March 9, 2020
And when Rodney King got the beating, heads responded properly!
“Fight The Power”… for those who really felt that song… it was way more than a song. It was an anthem, a call to action, a we-take-no-more-sh!t CHARGE for us! And ‘they’ do not want us getting charged up like that. THEY, in turn, will deliberately, but quietly, shut the rally down; by taking away the bullhorn so we no longer here the rally cry.
Maybe you don’t get me. But watch and listen to the Poor Righteous Teacher Wise Intelligent… You will.
Wise Intelligent of Poor Righteous Teachers talks about the deliberate effort to silence positive Hip-Hop.
– Boom Bap Nation
(See. I’m not mad at ‘mumble rappers’… But why can’t we hear more positivity to balance it out? You KNOW the answer: We hear what THEY want us to hear more of… and NOT that positive ‘ish. NO Brother. NO Sister. THEY don’t want you to KNOW much about that.)

March 9, 2020
Baaaahhhahahaaa!
Dude was rolling with a pack! Yeah, a pack of lies, starting from the mailbox. And he would’ve gotten away with it, if it wasn’t for that meddling… owner of the car he was actually trying to STEAL! Okay, not steal. Let’s not call it stealing. It would clearly be joyriding. Because riding out to lunch with Paigion would definitely be a joy!

Prince Marley – “Free Game” (Video)
March 6, 2020
Paper chasing up a check while chasing h-es.
DOPE!
Prince Marley. Respect to you dude, for trying to give them “Free Game”… all they gotta do is pay attention to your moves. Some folks won’t even pay attention though. And that’s gonna cost them!
As for me, I followed @bighomiemarley on the ‘Gram as soon as the video closed. Good luck closing on more properties, and keep putting out solid work (like this) #NewDopeGame
Prince Marley is back with his first official single Free Game.

Nia Long Speaks On That ‘Cherry Thong’ Line And Her New Movie (Video)
March 6, 2020
Listen. I got kids to put through college. I will sell some cherry thongs!
Hey, hey, Sway! Back up, son. I got the answers for Nia, not you (haha)!
O…M…G! I will buy a woman some Nia Long thongs on sight!! That idea is epic. And the visual I got going in my mind right now… ooooh weee!!
Nia Long is starring in a new movie called The Banker alongside Anthony Mackie and Samuel L. Jackson coming out in March 2020. The film is about two Black men who started a company, but hired a White man to act as if he was the owner as they posed as the janitor and chauffeur as they ran the business back in the 1950’s. Nia Long stopped by Sway In The Morning to talk about her role in the film.

NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert Series Presents: Koffee (Video)
March 6, 2020
Ayeeeeeee! Let the party happen! It’s a vibe, not a wave. That’s why your body (and soul) sway as you enjoy this performance straight from the Tiny Desk. If you are at a ‘tiny desk’ of your own right now, know that you will soon be free… as soon as you press play above!
Above all, what makes Koffee so refreshing is that she centers her music around faith, resilience and gratitude. She has a new perspective to add to the pantheon of mostly male reggae greats and it’s resonating with a new generation that’s just getting hip to the iconic sounds. As her Tiny Desk performance shows, Koffee makes the best of her surroundings, channeling the day’s buzzy energy into a balancing act of youthful heart and old-pro precision, proving why she has become one of the most invigorating voices in reggae.

Eye Candy: Calm Down, It’s Just Angie With Another ‘Walkaway’ In The Bahamas (Video)
March 6, 2020
And when I say, “Calm Down,” I am really speaking to myself. Because I can see myself on the island, walking around and some local looks at me looking super-thirsty and not handing me a drink; but telling what I really need for my ‘thirst’…
“She went that way.”
Thank you. Great GOOGLY MOOGLY!! Do you see that BODY?? Those HIPS!! Got me singing on my Michael Henderson: The waaaay you shake your hips, woooo! It drive me wild, Angie!

Planet Asia – “God Degree” (Prod. By 38 Spesh) [Video]
March 5, 2020
History repeats what you refuse to learn about.
Hmm… I’m asking: Has anybody spit positivity barz over a 38 Spesh beat? Of course, the beat is a banger (I knew that going in) and the lyrics are top-notch (I knew that, too, because Planet Asia). But the message! Ill and dope. The problem and the solution. At the same damn time!!
Planet Asia has recorded a number of albums with single producers (or production teams) throughout his prolific career. He has dropped classic material with DJ Muggs, Apollo Brown, Gensu Dean, DJ Concept, and of course his boys DirtyDiggs. However, according to King Medallions himself, his upcoming 38 Spesh-produced album “Trust The Chain” might be his best single-producer album yet.
As for Spesh, the rapper/producer/entrepreneur really flexed his beatmaking skills in 2019, helming full albums for Che Noir, Flee Lord, Elcamino, Black Geez, and more. He’s determined to establish his names with the greats by outworking the comp.
The pairing of PA’s funky linguistics and Spesh’s soul loops is a match made in Hip-Hop heaven. These songs were meant to be. To further bolster the flavor on this fly affair Rasheed Chappell, The Musalini, Fred The Godson, and Elcamino each pitch in a drum. Truuust!
