Womb Tang Clan x Various Artists – “Nough Said” (Prod. By Sam Peezy)
Yo man. Salute to Alabama. And I’m not even talking Roll Tide (yet – saving that for Monday night).
I’m talking about not waiting for external appreciation to appreciate that which is important. The homie Thed Weller (aka Al Elliott aka Dude you saw on here doing the TEDx Birmingham and such) shared this joint honoring the female artists over there – the clique inside the clique – doing Hip-Hop / Poetry / Song honorably. That’s the Womb Tang Clan on this track with the men that stand with them. “Nough Said.”
Okay… a little more? Okay, so this is a jawn from the soundtrack of a mini-documentary on an incredible venue over there in Birmingham, Alabama; that recently got sold, closed, razed and renovated… The High Note Lounge. Gonna miss that spot.
I personally know a lot of these folks. Hell, I knew Chef T. Randle when he was (nah, not gonna put his biz out like that)! And Joell Regal (smokin’ HOT, esp. on the mic). And producer Sam Peezy Addams (you KNOW him and his work; my brother who backs my blood brother BoneBreaker Jones with the beat on here)!
(Me! Trying to get a copy of that “We Are The High Note” documentary AND the soundtrack. Yup. Putting it out there!)

Al Elliott: We All Want To Matter (Video)
My dude Thed Weller! He goes by his born name, Al Elliott, when he is reaching and teaching the masses (Mr. Elliott when those masses are his 5th-grade students). So very proud of this brother. What a wonderful TEDx talk he gives about how important it is that we all feel like we matter and how we ALL play a role in making that happen. It’s probably not what you think, but it’s everything you could imagine or hope.
We all want to know that our ideas matter. In this touching talk, educator Al Elliott shares how was all have the opportunity – and the responsibility – to validate the ideas of others in our lives.
