JAY-Z: BREAKS DOWN HIS 'MOST KINGZ' VERSE




I know I'm late on this post....SO?!?!?

One of my favourite Jay-Z verses from the last few years....
The Green Lantern produced Most Kingz is cool, but I'm too used to hearing him on the Grammy Family beat...fits better IMO...

SEE!!!

8TH ANNUAL URBAN MUSIC AWARDS 2010


Saturday, I passed through this years Urban Music Awards at the Connaught Rooms in Holborn Central London.
After driving for more than 2.5 hours from South London (the Pope visit messed up ALL driving to West End).
I got there thinking that I missed most of the awards, but you know award shows, they always run behind...especially as EVERYONE had nightmares getting to the venue.



Levi Roots & Linda Robson


Shouts to Damage, Richard Blackwood, Coolio, Tinie Tempah, Levi Roots and all the other celebs in the building.

I was kinda under pressure as I was meant to leave at 10pm to get to Worcestershire to spin, so to say my time was limited was an understatement!!!

I was just about to leave when they announced the Best DJ category for which I was nominated....

I was on the phone to management complaining,'I gotta go...I don't wanna be late for my set' as they announced that I won!!!!

I had no idea that I was gonna win this award, cause it was such a strong category and I've been underground like a secret squirrel building up shit for next year...more on that another time....

I had no speech...I don't even remember what i said...
So after the 'speech' I had to bounce to get to my gig...didn't have time to get more than 2 pics from the night....Sorry!!!!!

Big up U.M.A. & more importantly, big up the VOTERS!!!!


On my way out of the venue with Funmbi the comedian who killed his set at the U.M.A. and my dude from longtime, G Da Money

CHI ALI: MINI DOCUMENTARY





Former child Hip Hop star and Native Tongue affiliate, Chi Ali has been in jail for 12 years for the murder of his girlfriend's brother...over a few hundred dollars and some CD's....
He has 2 years left of his sentence.
courtesy of hithiphop.

Its insane considering murder in this day and age...its only a matter of time before they catch you! With all the technology, advances in DNA testing etc not to mention CCTV EVERYWHERE...
Like he said, 30 seconds ruined the next 14 years of his life...


this was before his voice broke- it was very annoying



this was much better








and even better still
