On Friday while filming the "Getting It" video in the bay area, I caught up with Fashawn. We spoke about his biggest accomplishment thus far, Nima Fadavi's "Grizzly City Kush Mixtape", the mixtape feel of "Champagne and Styrofoam Cups", the producers on it and the accompanying movie. We also spoke about his upcoming sophomore album with Exile "Ecology", how Slick Rick has inspired him, hoping to work with Traxamillion, as well as Phonte and what's next for him.(via @MiSS1SPECiAL)
"I wrote this song about 5 to 6 months ago and didn't realize how much it matters to my career and personal life right now. I feel Im in a position thats scary but still exciting. I've lost close friends, and gained closer ones. I've lost love, and gained stronger love. I've moved in places and made mistakes. Yet this year has been the best I've ever had, and I've made changes and experienced changes over all for the better. This is a reflection, and testament for myself personally, and the whole NEATO Nation. Embrace change, and make it your own. N.E.A.T.O - Never Ever Allow The Obscene "

After their performance at The Black Cat in D.C., the hip-hop powerhouse known as Diamond District sat down with us to talk about where they've been, what they've been up to, and what you can expect from their next album, "March on Washington".
"Preach!" , the latest RoQ'y / TyRaiD venture is perhaps the most controversial song as of yet. Viciously cutting through the stellar, gritty production of Felony Muzik with the sharpest of wit, lyricism, and execution.. RoQ'y , in "TyRaiD" form..embodies the spirit of the iconoclast in order to restore the system of Checks and Balances. From the questioning of mainstreamed blind faith to the martyring of athletic icons, THIS IS "PREACH!" and THE CULTRUE IS BACK!!!! Project: Ark of Arts ..2012
