Interview: Miss Special x Phonte



The girl is a hard worker. You can't deny that. Miss Special aka Miss Interview chops it up with Phonte. Another fresh interview. Enjoy. Chea!
Last week on Special Sundays Radio Show, Phonte called in to talk about his solo album "Charity Starts At Home". We spoke about what the album meant to him, why now was the time for it, what praise meant the most to him and his favorite track. We also spoke about why he shouted out Fashawn on "Everything Is Falling Down", a video for "The Good Fight" as well as videos for every other track on the album, what's next for him including the tour with 9th Wonder, scoring an independent film with Nicolay called "The Last Fall" and his favorite song on 9th Wonder's "The Wonder Years".

SNEAK PEEK: Maal Himself "Ms. Beverly Hills" (Trailer)



Folks that know me typically know I don't post too many trailers. Actually I can recall the few other times that I have. But I'm excited about the new Maal Himself project and I'm eager to peep the full visual for his Ms. Beverly Hills track released back in June. The cut features The Diva and Jon Frost, and the video stars Maal Himself and Esmeralda Vargas, with Mark Gage behind the lens. It looks like this video is cray. Ha!

Interview: Miss Special x Fly.Union


A little while ago the guys from Fly.Union called in to Special Sundays Radio Show and we got to talk about many topics.  We started with how they got their name, the idea behind the lifestyle "the greater than club" and the actual album "The Greater Than Club"; including the vision and the features. We also spoke about the value packs that they released, if they will release more, their clothing line and Jerreau and Iye working with BJ The Chicago Kid on "The Life Of Love's Cupid". In addition we spoke about Iye and Jay Swifaa's group MnkeyWrench; including their latest project "Until Forever" and the video for "Lights Out", their fathers being in a funk band together, their N.E.R.D influence, and what's next for them.
