Check It ... St. Joe Louis "ELECTRIC COMPANY (REMIX)"

Check the cut from St. Joe Louis.

After several car accidents and losing close loved ones while recording 2 shelved projects St. Joe Louis is sometimes referred to as the Final Destination group. The Almost There FreEP: Remixes is another step toward changing that outlook as they prepare to finally release their long delayed full length project 30,000 Ft High and Rising this month.

St. Joe Louis is a trio composed of Elete (producer/emcee), Tom Chase (emcee) and Michael Cardigan (emcee). The newest remix Electric Company is produced by J57 of the Brown Bag Allstars. J57's remix creates a mid tempo platform that gives the trios words even more room to resonate and provides an urgency to their message of redemption.

LeBron James: King of NY

LeBron is definitely getting his great black hype on, huh? I caught this video on twitter after asking, "What's up with this mofo LeBron James" Shoutout to the homie Dallas Penn aka Dontrevius Wenters! ENJOY!

When did new York become the east coast Los Angeles?

This is what it looks like now with all of this LeBron James hype. I mean, sure the guy must be good because he won a few several high school championships but so did Stephon Marbury.

Dontrevius Wenters, the perennial draft day hopeful of the New York Knickerbockers, returns to the streets of New York to find out why everybody is clamoring for the Knicks to sign LeBron and not him.

Download ... @iamstanza "Searching for Bobby Fischer"

I knew I was going to like Searching for Bobby Fischer before the first track played. I had been following Stanza's singles leading to the full release of this project. The ATL based emcee delivers lyrically with some fine production from DJ Toomp, Young Guru, DJ Teknology and a few industry beats.

Pay attention to Stanza. He keeps it fresh but doesn't dumb his music down. You gotta respect that. The dude is dope and Searching for Bobby Fischer shows just why you should pay attention. I kinda wish it wasn't so many tracks but hey they're all pretty dope, so I'll deal (haha). Check it.

The Searching for Bobby Fischer project was birthed from an observation of greatness. When greatness disappears, the witnesses of that greatness long for its return. Like Bobby Fischer for instance. He was arguably the greatest chess player in history and when he disappeared, the world hungered for his return. Michael Jordan, Babe Ruth, Pac, B.I.G, and countless others were examples of this. They all chose not to settle for the one square, one directional movements and instead, decided to promote to something greater. The funny thing is we all have the potential to be as good, if not better than all of them. But we’re too busy being pawns. This is my pursuit of greatness. “Time to promote.”

Check out my favorite cut, "Work Relationships"

What I'm Watching ... SHATiFF "Lovebird-Remix"

Check it.

In the LoveBird SHATiFF takes his listeners on a visual ride and shares with them the beauty of life from his perspective. He sheds light upon the dark and highlights the calm in a harsh reality. Using intimate backdrops throughout the DC metropolitan area SHATiFF displays for his audience the serenity of people enthralled by life's everyday moments. He captures the essence of solitude and the simplicity of love, fleeting moments that only a well-trained eye could uncover.
