Wale feat. Jazmine Sullivan – World Tour
Jazmine Sullivan signed my CAPA yearbook.
Who doesn’t like A Tribe Called Quest? Wale just made a new track based off of Tribe’s Award Tour. Wale’s version is kinda too commercial for me, he should have kept the Afrocentric beats. Listen and download Wale’s newest track featuring Philly’s own Jazmine Sullivan (courtesy of Moochanogi) from his upcoming album “Attention Deficit,” which is scheduled to hit stands in October. BTW, here’s a Jazmine Sullivan yearbook photo. I dug it off my bookshelf. It’s kinda blurry, blame it on the blackberry. Enjoy!
The FREE Houdini
Discover new music, especially free ones.

Featuring guest appearances from Buck 65, Aesop Rock, Busdriver, Lionesque, Slug of Atmosphere, D-Styles, DJ Baku, Pedestrian, Sole, Serengeti, and Yoni Wolf and Odd Nosdam as cLOUDDEAD (not to mention the whole entire mixtape being mixed down by Nosdam as well), theFREEhoudini serves as Doseone and Jel’s return, posse record that never was, and contribution to the mixtape medium circuit so tied to hip hop’s history.
In the meantime, check out Jel’s bedroom live mix of sweetcreaminit…

Papergirl Street Art Project Delivers Art Like The Morning News
Because police in Berlin are cracking down on wheatpasting more than ever, so in reaction, Berlin artist Aisha Ronniger has started a project that distributes art to the public in a different manner, via papergirl. The girls ride around on bikes with packs filled with prints rolled up, which they throw at unsuspecting pedestrians on the sidewalk.

Free Issue of Fader Magazine
Monday night, somewhere on the streets of Brooklyn, I ended up at the Fader Magazine issue release party. The party was really fun, I got to meet some really interesting people. Our copy editor was able to give a pound/hug/high-five/whatever to one of Harlem’s rising artist, Charles Hamilton at the Kellogg’s diner right before Charles was about to perform. Crazy, right? I think so, I usually tend to shy away when I have no fucking clue what I’m doing and who these people are. So Charles looked at me and I looked away. Hmmm, it’s sad about how much of a Lisa-Franker I really am. But I got a taste of what a down-to-earth magazine is really like.
The coolest thing of the night is that I found out that their latest issue #59, which features Little Boots on one side and Charles Hamilton on the other, is free for download. Very cool. The issue is all about the next big musical artists, making moves and what-nots.
