FELA! The Musical (That's Not Black Thought lol)

This is would be crazy to go see for real.

The play is directed by Bill T. Jones and highlights the incredible mind of one of Nigeria's brightest stars. Played by Sahr Ngauja, it tells the story of a man going to medical school in London, where he studied his passion for music instead. He then travels to the United States where he is engulfed with the sounds of the late James Brown. With the help of activist Sandra Isidore, he developed the political voice he used to ignite his people in Nigeria.

He was a trumpeter, saxophonist, occasional keyboardist and drummer....now that's a bad man. Below is one of my favorite songs by Fela.

"Water Get No Enemy"

Jay-Z Is At It Again

Jay-Z has launched a new music label with Norwegian songwriting/production duo StarGate.

Compiled of Mikkel S. Erikksen and Tor Erik Hermansen, StarGate has been the pen/production behind Ne-Yo's "Closer", Rihanna's "Take A Bow", and Beyonce's "Irreplaceable". 

The deal was set up as a 50/50 venture with Jay-Z's Roc Nation deal.

The label will be called StarRoc, and will be located in Jay's Roc The Mic studio in New York and will produce artist through a 360 deal. Simply put they will handle all facets of an artists exposure.

The Blueprint 3 is scheduled to drop before the end of this year.

Later than Sooner?!......The Return of G-Dep?

I used to get my clothes all wrinkled up trying to harlem shake to Special Delivery ( don't front you did too haha). It seems like he had a lot on his mind during the interview or maybe those rumors of him being addicted to drugs are true....I cant really call it. Good luck anyway, its a different game now so stay on your grind.

Update: Travis Barker/ DJ AM set up Memorial Fund for Victims

Travis Barker and his clothing line "Famous Stars and Straps" has set up a memorial fund for the victims of the jet crash.

"Lil" Chris Baker (Barker's Assistant) and Charles "Che" Still (who served as the Travis' security) have the fund set up in their name respectfully. Baker was on his way back to California to meet with his wife who was giving birth, she later gave birth to the child even through the situation which is a blessing in my eyes.

Life is too short, make sure you are living it right.

To make donations to "Chris Baker Memorial Fund" or the "Charles Still Memorial Fund" send funds to the following address:
