Rockin' The Bells

Not as good as last years Rock The Bells NYC line-up with A Tribe Called Quest headlining, Nas, Meth & Red, De La, and the rest but I'm still amped for it.

Excited to see K'naan, Slaughterhouse, Evidence and Alchemist, and the House of Pain reunion.

Stay tuned for more information as it leaks.

Mos Definitely Fire

Two things real quick, fellow bloggers, before I cool out for the evening.

First, I'm thinkin I'll be seeing Mos Def this Friday at Highline in NYC if I can get my hands on some tickets. I'm hoping I can 'cause I'm still salty about Rock the Bells Jones Beach where I was stuck in line for food during his set. Ugh.

Good looks to Techie for the heads up and the info. I believe the tickets are day-of only, but I'ma make some calls or snoop eBay and Craigslist for the hook-up:

Also, I forgot bout this before but I just seen it in my Inbox. Matt from MAC Media shot over this "Fire," a spankin new B-Real track featuring Damian Marley. Expect THC-laced rhymes from the former Cypress Hill and ill toasting from Jr. Gong on this track off B's upcoming LP Smoke N Mirrors dropping Feb 24. The Left coast lyricist goes in:

I know you want the feeling, you need some herbal healing You flip it in the valley, I'm here in Southern Cali I know you fuckers envy, We here with Mr. Marley

Oh, and there's a video coming soon y'all. Not bad for a night cap.

Ultra props to Matt again and Techie for the concert scoop, Enjoy!
