Here’s to a Great day in NYC. I got a chance to hang out w/ my wifey boo, my brothers/cousins and show my cousin a good time in the city. Side note, NO ONE wants to test the five of us in some karaoke. We go in. To top it off, I met a cool ass dude from down the block. All in all, I think it’s safe to say I won today.

So Damn Down Tanya Morgan

Tonya Morgan - So Damn Down … Here’s my fav. joint off of TM’s Brooklynati album that dropped in ‘09. This song is pure summer coolin’ music. Lyrics, beat & vibe are all on point.

The Emancipation of slaves in the United States of America was not a moral, but a political decision. Don’t forget that.

Life is about to be Ghost Recon

Quoted from Pop Sci:

Reporting from the Special Operations Forces Industry Conference in Tampa, Danger Room got some hands-on time with a technology that may or may not have been used in the raid on Osama bin Laden’s Abbottabad compound. Called Mover-IV, it lets special ops soldiers keep one eye in the sky during missions by feeding video from overhead drones or spy planes directly to a monocle fitted to the soldier’s headgear, no bulky laptop or receiver necessary.

Now, that’s crazy. I don’t know if you all are familiar with augmented reality technology, but if you are, imagine this technology combined with it. The government would officially turn US Army soldiers into operatives from Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter.

That’s wild.

Dreams Money Can Buy Drake

Drake - Dreams Money Can Buy (Intro)… Pardon my brief hiatus. This is apparently the intro to Drake’s upcoming Sophomore album, Take Care. This joint has all the ingredients that you would expect from a Drake album cut: a cup on introspection, a few table spoons of his relationships with women and a heavy glaze of materialism. All in all,the end product is some dope ish.

I Know it’s been a while since my last post, things have just been real crazy this past week. But now, I’m all done, finally home, and at last halfway through my college career.

Let’s get it.

“

Its finals time, so I’m on my endless grind
Buried so deep in my books, I can’t even see sunshine
ounces of espresso, redbull by can
drinking caffeine till I get shaky in the hands
So many stimulants coursing through my body,
The devil couldn’t stop me, so neither will Gulati
That’s why I’m taking notes till my pen runs out of ink
Running off so little sleep, that it even hurts to think…

Finals are the worst

Stranger Jhene Aiko

Jhene Aiko - Stranger … I (re)introduce you all to Jhene Aiko.  After hearing her on Kendrick Lamar’s OD mixtape, I had to check her stuff out. I just started listening to her project Sailing Soul(s), and I have to say…. IT’S DOPEEEEE. She has a Great, smooth voice and she def. knows how to write a song. With features by Miguel & Drake, its definitely not a project to miss out on.

novacane Frank Ocean

Frank Ocean - Novocaine … I know I get a late pass on this one but…. MAN! This guy Frank Ocean is talented! He can sing in different styles, and he’s a good songwriter. This mixtape/album has been getting ALOT of burn since I got it recently. This is prob. my fav song to listen to on it, but they’re all REALLY well written, and I’m sure you’ll love it from the first listen.

The 7 Layers of Division in Black America

There’s a great wish in the African American community for a wonderful utopia known as UNITY. The word brings about images of 70′s era movies where everyone picks their blow-out Afros, slaps high-fives and echoes “Right on!” in…
