Trayvon Martin

I have to say that today is a sad day for America and the family, friends, and supporters of Trayvon Martin. The trial ended yesterday, but the story has not. I think it's safe to say that the masses do not feel justice was served yesterday, and that's why we have to use our energies to remember Trayvon, keeping him alive through standing up for what's right. My dad once told me, "When right stands up, wrong don't stand a chance."

Another relative of mine wrote something on point. "Justice System??? Maybe we need to come up with a new name." We do. And that name starts with mine, yours, and everyone who knows 'right' in their heart.

Come together. Think better. Move forward.

Trayvon, may you rest peacefully. Gone too soon.

On tonight's menu:
Skittles
Iced Tea.

PARTYNEXTDOOR | OVO

There's a Party Next Door and it's easily the hottest mixtape of the summer. If you haven't yet, listen,vibe to and download the latest songs released by OVO's most recently signed artist.

Personal Pick: Over Here

It's that next level sound that's good for the soul. It was all a regime.

Magna Carta Holy Grail | Jay-Z

First Yeezus and Born Sinner.. and then Jay-Z snuck one up on us. Since becoming a New Yorker I've gone back and listened to all of Jay's work. I find it easier to comprehend and relate to living here, and also craving the same level of success. He isn't a business man.. he's a business, man. 

I think Magna Carta Holy Grail is great. I feel sorry for the people that can't appreciate it. What people have to realize is that Jay doesn't have to rap for a living anymore. He makes music for the passion and as a form of expression. If you're comparing it to all of his other work you're doing something wrong. I appreciate the succession of the story. His past work has made him who is he is and influenced his artwork today-and he collaborated with a forceful team that helped put this project together. 

Music never stops..

I'm not mad at this album at all, it's been on play start to finish every day for the past three days.. 

Bad b*tch iknowimboutit!
