Interesting filters and such used on this record. It's a cool fusion of hip hop and rock fo sho. Not too bad for a first drop.
Dame Dash’s return to the music biz is shaping up to be quite the experience. Here’s the video from the first single from the upcoming Blakroc project; a collaboration featuring The Black Keys rocking out alongside Mos Def, Jim Jones, RZA and others.
Great Stuff!!!!!!!!
That limbo deal was hot, Moon. Can you still do that? Very intense performance. Dang, just saw the part with homegirl pouring liquor down your throat. LOL Oh, maaaaan, it looks like things were bout to get even wilder when the video fades out. Big...

What's pretty crazy is I was expecting this blog to be about someone totally different. I guess the insanity comes in all generations and genders. It reminds me of a phrase that became an overnight cliche: Joe Jackson you're a gold-digging parent,...
Weird, K. Somehow I totally missed "J City" on the album til I read your review. It is definitely the closest thing to a rock track on "Central Market." Listening back to the album this morning the sounds...even the live strings...sound electronic...
Forever changes, forever new, however strangely, forever blue.
That is kind of how I feel after listening to Art Terry’s “Anutha Kind of Brutha.” It’s an ironic travelogue of an album that extracts stories of dislocation, gigolos, psychics and b...
This, my friend, is a GREAT read. I love underground comix. Thanks!
After listening to this several times I can definitely say Terry has a unique take on things that sets him apart. The review brings it to clarity.
Dig it

MUTHAWIT featuring BOSTON FIELDER
There's a difference between being immersed in music and getting lost in it. If the former is protective and predictable, the latter revels in chance and the unexpected. MuthaWit? Definitely the latter.
MuthaWit is a furiously evolving multi-cultural outfit whose musical performances marry a soulful rock dynamic with free jazz experimentation, classical sensitivity and avant-garde electronics/visuals. Established in 1989 by award-winning nomadic composer, designer, filmmaker and URB ALT founder Boston Fielder, members of MuthaWit's 5-24 piece orchestra have worked with Parliament/Funkadelic, Sting, TV On The Radio, Curtis Mayfield, The Family Stand, Olu Dara, Herbie Hancock, Jay Z and Organized Noize among others. MuthaWit has been instrumental in the production of the increasingly popular URB ALT Festival annually based in NYC. Focused as the "house band" for performing national solo artists on the bill as well as a stand-alone musical outfit, MuthaWit has embedded its sonic imprint in URB ALT's eclectic music/film events for the 3 years of festival's existence as well as the 9 years of the ongoing URB ALT showcase.
Rejoicing in the intensity of their eclectic musical testimony, MuthaWit lures the listener through an artistic experience that is wildly entertaining and sonically provocative.

Hola, Loved Ones!
This has been my m.o. the last couple of days, y'all. Rest assured, however, that I wasn't upchucking gold. More on that(and the young lady in the photo in such an elegant state of repose) in a bit.
