JR&PH7 (@JRandPH7) Ft. King Mez (@KingMez) & Roc Marciano (@RocMarci) — “Makin’ Moves”
This is a bonus track off German production duo JR&PH7’s album, The Good Life. The project featured Phonte, Torae, Freeway, Mela Machinko and more. It was actually pretty jammin’, a great balance of hip hop and soul/R&b, but I don’t think enough folks heard it. Anyway "Makin’ Moves" features Raleigh, NC’s (and current NY resident) King Mez and Long Island’s…

Drique London (@DriqueLondon) Ft. Jabee (@Jabee), Rapper Big Pooh (@RapperBigPooh) & DJ Flash (@DJFlashJLeague) — “Take It Back”
If you’ve never been to a party where DJ Flash is DJ’ing and heard one of his liquor house music sets, then you’re truly missing out. He and DJ Dellmatic can take a party to jam level. This has nothing to do with Drique’s new track, I just wanted to put that out there. "Take It…

SmCity (@SmCityMusic) & DJ Dub Floyd (@DJDubFloyd) — IMMORTALS: Curtis Mayfield
Here’s another reason why I love the A3C Hip Hop Festival — every year there’s the chance to learn about and see artists perform who are from other cities/states I may not have otherwise gotten hip to. This year during A3C, I saw Washington, DC’s SmCity perform. Before the hip hop festival I had never heard of…

Mr. Grind (@MrGrind) — “All Ashy Everything” Trinidad Jame$ All Gold Everything Parody (Video)
"Free My Grandma?" Erykah Badu is quoting him, a much hyped (and possible sold out NYC show tomorrow night at Santos), an upcoming appearance on MTV’s RapFix and now folks are doing parody videos too. Love him or hate him, Trinidad James has almost made it. Only thing, I can’t help but wonder if this…

If you’re a regular round these parts then y’all know I’m a huge lover of technology and a big STEM advocate. 2012 has been a good year for hip hop being integrated into major technology events: Will.I.Am and LL Cool J both presented at CES back in January (the world’s largest consumer electronics and technology event),…
