I was baptized because of Grand Puba.

Numerous times, I’ve stated my initial aversion to One For All. When me & Cookiehead boosted it (and about 15 other tapes), I initially told he could have it while I opted for UGK & some others instead.

Videogum FTW, simply by asking “Where Wallace At, String?” I’m a sucker for anything related to The Wire. I always get emails from artists, promotions, marketing etc. asking how they can get their stuff featured on TSS. Read the rest of this entry »

With or without the Wu’s prestigious cosign, I’ve remained a fan of Clarks Originals. I wear’em all, from Wallys to drivers all the way to a few from the UnStructured Series with the Un.Click being one of my go-to’s for work-wear. Looks like I’ll have a new one to add to the rotation.

Two tracks off Wyclef & Drama’s Touissant St. Jean: From The Hut, To The Projects, To The Mansions, dropping on 11.10. “Suicide Love” features Eve riding shotgun on an audio testament to standing side-by-side your love.

No, not Bo. Bono knows.

While discussing U2′s accomplishments & accepting praise, the singer was asked who else might deserve to be enshrined in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. Probably to the shock of the interviewer and everybody else, he mentioned the band it took millions to hold back. Read the rest of this entry »

This is likely to get David Stern’s panties in a bunch. According to AHH, former Dukie & current Orlando Magic guard J.J. Redick will be dropping a rap album.

According to Redick, he’s part of a “rap super group” that will release a new single before the end of the year titled “Waste Management.” “We’re working on a rap CD,” Redick revealed. “We actually haven’t come up with a name from the group Read the rest of this entry »

Sheesh. Contra™ just sent this one over and…you’re gonna have to listen for yourself. Beans tells his version of the events that transpired behind the scenes better than any words I could muster up. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s pretty much a done deal that if Attention Deficit hasn’t leaked yet, it will by weekend’s end. Mark my words. Until then, have your way with “Mirrors,” which features Uncle Bun dropping his words of wisdom. Read the rest of this entry »

Jack Splash’s upcoming album will be the prolific producer’s foray into microphone duties, neither as the singer in Plantlife that they ladies love nor producer extraordinaire. He’ll be showcasing his skills as an emcee. With that in mind, there’s his upcoming Heir To The Throne Vol. 1 mixtape and the first leaks: “Lauryn Hill” and “In The Future.” Read the rest of this entry »
