K15-Beat 4 J
K15 is a super ridiculously dope producer from the UK whom I first became familiar with via his excellent EP A New Path as part of the duo K15&LP. Stumbled upon this track on his myspace page and hope you enjoy it as well.

Alicia Keys - Unthinkable (video)
Alicia representing for both her sides. This video is goooorgeous... and so is she, as always. I'm still waiting for a certain collabo video that was filmed in Brazil though...
Diggy - What They Been Waiting For
Diggy- What They Been Waiting For from philthegod. on Vimeo.

M.I.A. - XXXO
This second single dropped a couple of days ago. I'm still on the fence about these new tracks, which is odd because I was automatically on board for Arular and Kala. But Born Free has started to grow on me and I'm sure this will too. MAYA has been pushed back to July 13 (at least it's still coming out before the Hard Festival in L.A.) via 2dope.
Sade - Babyfather (Video)
Classic. Timeless. I love how Sade always is a normal person in her videos. And her face.
R.I.P. Lena Horne
Ok I know I'm a day late but yesterday was a busy day... Another icon lost... That show they got going up in the sky just keeps getting better and better. Not only was Lena Horne a pioneer in African-American performance, but she was part of an era where Black leaders, well, lead... It'd be nice to get back to that...

Beyonce - Why Don't You Love Me (video)
"Why Don't You Love Me" - Beyoncé from Beyoncé on Vimeo.
I truly love Beyonce the most when a) she acts a damn fool b)she rocks that red lipstick and c) she has makeup running down her face... So basically I'm in love with this video. And the song is Badass! Whatever happened to that break? Or the Put It in a Love Song video for that matter...p.s. I'll watch this before Telephone anyday.
ESSO - The Anti-Socialite
I've known this kid since before he was a rapper and not only is he one of the grinding-ist cats i know, since his first mixtape he has never disappointed. His latest drops today. I just got it so I haven't listened yet but I expect good things. You should too.

M.I.A. - Born Free (video)
M.I.A, Born Free from ROMAIN-GAVRAS on Vimeo.
Warning: This video contains graphic images blah blah blah.... So I don't really know what the opinion on this song is because frankly I don't care. But this video makes me love it more. This is classic Maya... politics you can jam out to... and I love it.

RIP Guru
Very sad news today as Guru, one of the greatest emcees of all-time and 1/2 of the legendary duo Gang Starr, lost his battle with cancer. Guru and DJ Premier were hip-hop at its finest, taking the baton from the likes of Eric B & Rakim in defining the 1 Emcee-1 DJ/Producer sound. There aren't many artists/groups with as consistent a catalog as that of the Brooklyn by way of Texas and Boston connection. There are so many dope Gang Starr songs that for now we present to you instead a track off of Guru's Jazzmatazz Vol 3:StreetSoul featuring Bilal and Jay Dee. A beautiful track for a sad day....RIP
