Merry New Year!

artblagburriswgnI haven’t written in over a month (another story for another day), but sometimes a jive story comes along and inspires you just out of the pure audacity of it all. On Tuesday (12/30), Illinois Gov. Blagojevich named former Illinois Attorney General Roland Burris to the Senate. There is the hook!

Gov. Blagojevich, Roland Burris, and Bobby Rush held a press conference to defend the decision even though the Governor is under investigation for trying to sell the Senate seat to the highest bidder. Bobby Rush made it clear that there are no African Americans in the Senate, and that blocking this appointment of Burris would be a slap in thee face to African Americans (in so many words). We now have the line…. Read More…

Probably with a backhand slap to thee face. However, every year I ponder the thought of the bogusness of how Thanksgiving came about, the more I look at it as a time to reflect on family and how to appreciate the things we have. I got a chance to go volunteer with The Ludacris Foundation again this year for their turkey drive that is feeding around 500 families this Thanksgiving. As hard times often come up in one’s life, it’s important to think about where you want to go and who will help get you there. A friend that I now consider a pretty close one, no longer a ‘bum a##’ (yes, I slid that one in there – who does that?), has helped keep me on track as well as family members that have always been by my side no matter what.

[video inside] 4-IZE teams up with Floyd The Locsmif as well as Yirayah to deliver a powerful track entitled “Don’t Nobody Care” The track covers topics ranging from President Elect Barack Obama to the US economy… Kevin Clark of Djbooth.net had this to say about the track: “Remember when you listened to those Ludacris freestyles on his debut album and thought to yourself, “Damn, 4-IZE is nice with the punchlines?” Well, [4-IZE] is still up to his old tricks, but takes a more serious approach with his new record, Don’t Nobody Care.  Reveling, as we all are, in the victory of President-Elect Obama, the Chicago/Atlanta dual resident gives listeners and in-depth report on 9/11, delving into our failing economy and the “lies” that the American government sells to the public. This introspective effort is boosted by producer Floyd the Locsmif, whose subtle piano stabs lend gravitas to issues that people should care more about. If only the strong survive, then this yet-untitled album could be what it takes to usher the oft-stale rap game into the bright days ahead.” Read More…
