Just a bunch of random things/people/songs I’m feeling at the moment musically. Might make this a weekly thing.

Itunes Snapshot:The top 10 songs I’ve played since I last reset itunes. Notice the dominance of RnB…I hate rappers.

On The Famous Radar:People who might be involved with The Famous Firm sometime in the near future.

N.E.P.H.E.W-I got put on to Neph by his manager Rico a few months back. He comes from Chicago and has a very hard working team behind him. His music really stood out and eventually I set him up for a meeting with Sickamore in NY. After the meeting everyone called and e-mailed me saying he was one of the most talented rappers we ever encountered at The Firm. Very high praise because we hate rappers…let me not speak for everyone, I hate rappers. Nonetheless, N.E.P.H.E.W isn’t another rapper. Dude is a dope artist. Sent them this Just Blaze instrumental last week and he immediately sent this back: Listen To N.E.P.H.E.W On Just Blaze’s “Why You Hate The Game” track

Audra:Female rappers are a rarity these days, good ones even more so. The Firm worked with a good one earlier on this year;Ms Nicki Minaj of Lil Wayne’s Young Money ENT. I’m a huge believer that female rap isn’t dead, it’s just not being marketed right…actually it’s just not being marketed at all. All the top ones went to jail and the industry sort of just stopped caring. A person that can help remedy that might be Virginia’s own Audra. I found her via a good ole fashion hit up on myspace. The thing that stood out even before listening to her music was that she
started up her own charity foundation to help AIDS awareness.
Knowing a person has good character is half the battle, now what about the music? Well she definitely has talent. Her style reminds me of an early Left Eye kind of. She’s also nominated for some Southern Music Awards so be sure to support if you like what you hear.

In Other Music News:Mainstream Music From My Perspective

Even though she’s no longer my number 1 I still need everyone to support Keysh tomorrow. Her new album entitled “A Different Me” is in stores tomorrow.

Others That Need To Be Copped-Musiq Soulchild and Common both got new albums out and Soulja Boy drops tomorrow too I believe.

Revolution Will Be Phellavised On PH1:Music Videos That I Find To Be Compelling

I don’t know what’s up with everyone saying this was a horrible performance. Of course Kanye is a horrendous singer. I don’t think he ever claimed to be Whitney Houston. The guy is just in a zone and making whatever music he feels like making and I’m enjoying just about all of it. I thought this performance was ill. Especially the I-just-scored-a touchdown-at-the-Superbowl-and-don’t-care-who’s-watching dance.
