BiLaL 10/17/2009
Soul singer Bilal hasn’t released an album since 2001’s 1st Born Second, but it seems as though he’s putting the finishing touches on his next album to be released in 2010. “I’m just excited to put out a new record without having to conform to major label standards,” says Bilal. “Before there was always this pressure of, ‘What’s going to be the first single — what are people going to get?’ I never really saw making music like that.” Bilal went back into the studio back in 2008, after his label dropped him in 2003 and never released his sophomore album, Love for Sale. The album eventually leaked, which kept his live performances in demand. Including appearances with fellow eclectic soul artist Maxwell. Mario 10/16/2009

Nas Reaches Out To The YouthPeople were both stunned and saddened after seeing the wrenching video of the fatal beating of 16-year old Chicago student, Darrion Albert. A cellphone camera caught footage of the honor student being hit over the head with a 2x4 and then being punched, kicked and stomped to DEATH. The boy's tragic story touched the hearts and minds of millions and has made it's mark on the Hip-Hop community. Nas wrote an open letter to the youth involved in the incident. While he reflected on his younger days seeing senseless violence and attempted to relate to the children he deems as “young warriors.” "Dear Young Warriors fighting the wrong wars! Killing each other is definitely played out. Being hurt from the lost of a love one was never cool." "Dear Young Warriors fighting the wrong war! I know that feeling, that frustration with life and needing to take it out on someone, any one. But....We chose the dumbest things to go the hardest for. I remember seeing deaths over 8 ball jackets, Fila sneakers, and name plate chains. Deaths over "he say, she say"!!!!! "I'm from this block or I'm from that block", or "my moms n pops is f*cked up now the whole world gotta pay!!!" "I remember feeling like I was the hardest "n*gga" breathing. And I couldn't wait to prove it. But let's think. What are we really proving?? And proving what to who?? Everybody knows Chicago breeds the strongest of the strong but I just feel, me, being ya brother from another state feels your pain as if I grew up with you in ya very own household." "You have the ability and mindpower to change they way we are looked at. Look who's watching us young warriors, look who's throwing us in jail constantly, look at the ignorance in the world. Look at the racist dogs who love to see us down. Loving to bury us in the ground or in jail where we continue this worthless war on one another." "Young warriors.... We are WASTING more and more time. We gotta get on our jobs and take over the world. Cuz this movie left the theaters years ago, Juice, Menace, Boys n the Hood , Blood n Blood Out, Belly!" "When we see each other why do we see hatred? Why were we born in a storm, born soldiers, WARRIORS....and instead of building each other up we are at war with each other.. May the soul of this young person find peace with the almighty. I'm with you young warriors. You're me and I'm you. But trust me! you are fighting the wrong war." He ends the letter with a question to the youth and a statement that gives you a bigger picture over the whole situation, “This shit sucks.” -Nas Ghostface Killah/ Fabolous/ Shareefa 10/01/2009
