This is how it feels to be from the greatest city in the UNIverse! Check out WRBG Radio V. 17 (The Musicology of Mmadu Ulasi II)

With this issue, I was ecstatic from the completion of my first public event, The Eat 2 Live Block Party & Concert. Although it was supposed to go down on September 12th as originally planned, but with everything going wrong from the beginning, I had no choice but to postpone. During that entire week, I was planning how I can rebound from this setback, and have my vision become reality. So the 19th rolls around, and everything went smooth like butter, from beginning to end. There were books for the kids donated from the Brooklyn Borough Prez, Señor Marty Markowitz. And I had A-Live of Green Street and Aquil from Philly come and shut it down for the kids. That day, I saw generations come together, which is something that doesn't really happen that much amongst the urban community these days. I feel that we need to come together like that more often, so look out for another block party coming your way next summer! But with no further ado, I present to you: WRBG Radio V. 17 (The Musicology of Mmadu Ulasi p II)

Yo...This dude was getting BUSY on those skates!


Silent Intelligent & A-Live of Green Street


Looks like the kids are having a good time. But I have something up my sleeve of course.

The mayhem begins. Aquil of Illadelphia starts the show off.


Making sure the crowd is with us! Up there with a broken toe on one foot, Jordan on the other. That's how we do it here in Brooklyn.


A-Live getting it in by the bodega.


I got my drink and my two step!


OK, ya'll don't gotta go home, but you gotta get the hell up outta here.

Aquil- Blues People (2008)

What's good folks? Here is the first of many mixtape goodies that I have up my sleeve. This one is from an MC by the name of Aquil. Hailing from Philadelphia, PA, Aquil succeeds in showing his brotherly love in his debut mixtape "Blues People." With soulful samples, intricate lyrics and solid production, Aquil shows that he a force to be reckoned with. With tracks that hit close to home for most, such as "For The People" , "Walk On By" and "No Justice, No Peace," Aquil really puts the spotlight on many of the issues that most of us still face in our enviornment, what most would consider the "hood", day in and day out. He also has his demo up on here too, where he just goes on an 86 bar, militant lyrical barrage over "75 Bars (Black's Reconstruction)." Standing out to me as a young Black Thought mixed with a touch of Nas, Aquil stands and delivers in his debut album "Blues People." This one is definitely a must-have! Support good music any way you can folks!

Spread love, it's the Brooklyn way...

As usual...I was aimlessly searching the web...Until I stumbled upon a familiar face. I ran into my homegirl from HS...well...not physically, but I found out that she runs her own little blog out here in cyberspace. So be sure to check out my homeskillet Rana on her blog at THE BROOKLYN POSH: URBAN FASHION & URBAN LIFE BLOG.
