New Shafiq! .1 third of the group Sa-Ra Creative Partners. Recently, he dropped his solo album “En A-Free-Ka” to much critical acclaim. New single called ‘Lil Girl’ ft Fatima. She is an up & coming neo-soul artist (look out 4 her). Much love to Shafiq and Sa-Ra. Go get the new album!
If you grew up in the late 80’s and early 90’s there is no way you will ever forget the iconic shoe brands British Knights and LA Gear. By the mid 90’s both of these shoe companies had nearly fallen off the map with LA Gear even filing for Chapter 11 in 1998. In 2008, these “80’s baby” favorites started their comeback with BK re-releasing the Leader, Ultra, and Kings SL designs and LA Gear re-releasing the majority of their Unstoppable line.
Now my favorite pair of sneaks when I was a rambunctious little kid at Brandenburg Elementary School were my LA Lights. They definitely caught the attention of the girls playing Patty-Cake at recess. And now LA Gear has decided to relaunch their most notable line to-date, LA Gear Lights. Pick yourself up a pair at SportieLA.com and start lighting up the sidewalk. You will not regret your purchase.
When I started producing, the first record I ever sampled for a beat was Sade’s “Jezebel”. Due to this fact I have always had an affection towards Sade’s music. Now after nearly 10 years without a new record, she’s back (better than ever?). Her newest single, “Soldier of Love” from her album of the same name, is nothing short of a masterpiece. It is serene yet chaotic, like two hearts battling, like soldiers of love (I don’t know if that made any sense, deal with it).
Check it out.

So, I was definitely one of the skeptics when it came to Weezy’s rock album, Rebirth. But from the tracks that I’ve heard so far (sans “Prom Queen”), I’ve been fairly impressed.
Check out “Drop the World” featuring the almighty Marshall Mathers produced by Boi-1da (”Forever”, “Best I Ever Had”, “Replacement Girl”)
