What I'm Watching: Common "Sweet"
"You ain't no muthafuckin' Frank Sinatra ... little bitch... "
Someone pissed Common off and the result is Sweet. Literally. This must be that gangster rapper folks were concerned about inviting to the White House. Ha! He went off on the verses and delivers up a solid video shot in Haiti. If this doesn't get you hyped for The Dreamer/The Believer, poke holes in your speakers and throw your computer out the window. Common is asking for a $1 donation to J/P Haitian Relief Organization per view. Support. Chea!

Soul Khan "Lord Knows" (Freestyle)
Khan Knows. Ha! A lot of folks have been talking about the Lord Knows beat from Drake's Take Care. It's definitely one of the standout productions on the album. If you haven't heard the beat, it's filthy. So, Brown Bag AllStar and TMB favorite Soul Khan decided to jump on the beat and well ... you know what, I'll let Soul Khan's bars take it from here. Spoiler Alert: He kills it. Gotdamn. Enjoy. Chea!

Stanza "Broadcast from Georgia (Heavy)"
"If you find any of these bars entertaining, educational, or you just rock with em all together, please feel free to spread it among your people."
The Working Class Dreamer Stanza drops off another Broadcast from Georgia, taking on some of the hot topics in the news. While sometimes Jimmy Fallon slow jams the news, the ATL emcee speeds it up a bit through rhyme. The new verse is about Michael Jackson's doctor, Heavy D's passing, Joe Paterno's team secret, and the kidnapping of Wilson Ramos.

Download ... Nicolay with The Hot At Nights - "Shibuya Session EP"
This is kind of a break from my norm but music associated with Nicolay is never a bad diversion from the norm. This EP had me floating. I hit play and immediately relaxed listening to the sounds Nicolay, The Foreign Exchange, and the three person jazz ensemble put together. Download this free EP and I'm sure you'll do the same.
