    LISA FORD – “Time Lapsed” – A Video & Pics of My Neighborhood. (SOUTH BEACH)

    TIME LAPSED - by Lisa Ford Totally unplanned, and against my will, I took an impromptu vacation, the first in about four years. After many months of running a hundred miles a minute, my body gave way and forced me to slow down. I silenced myself, refraining from blogging and social media to gain perspective. And today, I feel much better. Now before you ask, “Where were you, Lisa? I know you were at the best parties. I know you were hanging with all the…

    JHENO AIKO – Debuts ‘Bed Peace’ – Acapella (VIDEO)

    JHENE AIKO is my favorite artist right now, in part because we both are heavily inspired by the music and poetry of Tupac Shakur. Aiko states, “He’s (Pac) like an icon for speaking your mind and being you, even if it’s controversial. He’s been a big inspiration for me just to stick to who I am and to actually stand for something through music.” And this is partly why her music resonates with so many people. Aiko also has a musical gene, and an incredible…

    Snoop Dogg & Coolio – “Gangsta Walk” [Music Video] LISA FORD’s Ipod Pick.

    'Gangsta Walk' by two West Coast legends, is as dope as underated. Coolio and Snoop Dogg dropped this hit for real ones that appreciate the good old school stuff, and for new schoolers that go beyond what "radio plays-cus-paid". This joint sounds brand new, but was ironically released in 06' on Coolio's, "Return Of The Gangsta" album. Hope you feel it as much as I do. I love it. It's fresh as hell.

    THE GAME – “Ali Bomaye (Explicit)” ft. 2 Chainz, Rick Ross (NEW VIDEO) & Music Review

    ‘Ali Bomaye' is by far the hardest track off of THE GAME's "Jesus Piece" album. The Game is known for releasing some of the best gangster rap songs in hip hop. ‘Ali Bomaye’ is no different. I think the video could have been more reflective on how hard the song actually goes. I was expecting those grimey hardcore Compton visuals we're used to seeing from West Coast artists, just on an elevated level. Truth be told, The Game should have dropped this song solo. The…
