Georgia Anne Muldrow: These Worlds [Ms. One (Rap EP) OUT NOW!]


It appears that I have dropped the ball again in posting upcoming releases. I thought I posted weeks ago about the release of Georgia Anne Muldrow's Ms. One (Rap EP) [dropped 6/24/2014], which is her debuting a full rap album. The original intent was to post the timelapse video that features the makings of the cover art by Juse One and one of the tracks from the album. Production for the entire album is done by my homie across the water, the great Kriswontwo! The man is an evil genius, but an overall good dude. Show your love and support by purchasing this work of art that comes from all angles.

Happy Birthday: Michael Holman


Happy Birthday shouts go out to Michael Holman, who can be referred to as the "Don Cornelius of Hip-Hop" due to his short lived 1984 Hip-Hop dance show and showcase called "Graffiti Rock", that featured Bronx River disc jockey GQ DJ Jimmie Jaz, Shannon, Run-DMC, Kool Moe Dee and Special K of The Treacherous Three, and the New York City Breakers. Not only did he produce the show in his own nightclub called "Negril" in New York City, he also played a role in producing "Beat Street" that premiered in movie theaters that same year.

Outside of being a key figure in widening the audience for Hip-Hop, Holman was also a pioneer in the New York City arts scene. On that scene is where he met artist Jean Michel Basquiat and they later formed the industrial avant-garde band called Gray, in which Holman was the drummer.
