What I'm Listening To....Rakim feat. Jadakiss, Styles P., Busta Rhymes - "Euphoria"

This isn't new but still, I'm mad this track ain't on the Seventh Seal album. Don't know why it didn't make the cut but damn it Rakim. Haha.

THE 5th ANNUAL BROOKLYN HIP-HOP FESTIVAL

I received info a few weeks back on Brooklyn Bodega's Twitter page about a festival they're throwing for the 5th year. I visited their website and saw previous performers and this years performers and thought to myself, "For a small $10 donation, you're telling me I can check out all these artists? Where do I sign up?" You can't really beat that. For all the complaining we do about music, here's a great chance to support alot of established artists as well as hardly known / hardly heard of artists. I got my tickets. Excited to go and take lots of pics to blog about. I know it's gonna be a dope event. Check out the performers listed here...
