Rest In Power Dick Gregory: A Tribute To A Black Legend - {Video}

We lost a great legend over the weekend, here is my tribute to late Dick Gregory.  Even though I've never met him in person, he was like my grandfather.  His ideologies were so close to mines I felt his blood running through my veins.  There isn't much I can say about Mr Gregory that hasn't already been said.  But what I can say is how he impacted my life back in 2007.  I wasn't too familiar with his past prior to then but once I did my research I was floored.  

He did the unthinkable by most people standards, he literally gave up a lucrative career in comedy to fight for the rights of black people.  And this was back in the 60's, yet nowadays you barely hear a peep out of any celebrities who are in fear of losing their "Butter Biscuits".  Now don't get me wrong I understand having to take care of your family, but if we stuck together it would soften the impact.  

Imagine all of the black NBA players and all of the NFL players just quit the league?  It would shut those industries down, we would  have the leverage to truly help black people.  I've learned a lot from Mr. Gregory and his weekly lessons and observations will be missed by myself and many others.  He can finally rest, he's been fighting the good fight for far too long.  Peace Baba..., I found a excellent preview into Mr Gregory's life below please watch.

Chelsea Reject - "47" (Ft. Kirk Knight & Tnah Apex) - {Audio}

Chelsea Reject is a 23-year old female Emcee coming out of Brooklyn, NY by way of St. Lucia. She just recently partnered with one of the dopest indie labels formerly ran by the late great Sean Price (R.I.P),Duck Down Music.  Her latest project, CMPLX is still gettin' heavy rotation in my whip.  Not too many female Emcees catch my attention these days since most of them want to sell sex instead possessing real talent. Listen to her below if you are a REal HipHop Head you will appreciate her skills on the mic just as much as we do.

“Not one to be afraid of being weird, different, or complex, The REJECT is contagious!” – Chelsea Reject

JaH-Monte FKA (King Callis) - "KWAHERI UPENDO" - {Audio}

Ohio native JaH-Monte fka (King Callis) started writing music at the age of 10 however it wasn't until his teenage years that he started actually recording.  His sound mirrors that of the late 90's Common Sense with a twist of Slum Village mixed with his own unique flow.  The essence of REal HipHop is slowly but surely making a comeback thanks to artist like Jah-Monte.  Remember without support this genre of HipHop wouldn't exist, support your local underground artist.

Killa Kyleon does his thing on this MC Hammer inspired track, David Stunts directed video for "2 Legited 2 Quit It," another dope freestyle off his 30 Days 30 Deaths project.  Killa is one of the few hood dudes I f#@k's with and he always goes hard in the paint, and the bars are madd complex with dope metaphors.
