Last night Common played a show on Bower at Capitale. It was to promote a new Diesel fragrance. I’m sure that if you read magazines, you have seen the ads. Anyway, I was shooting the red carpet for SoJones. It worked out well, since Reagan had a girls night, tonight. It was the first time … Continue reading Common Sense + Diesel→
7L and Esoteric are a hip hop group out of Boston. They rhyme about Jamie Lee Curtis and Wookies. I like them. Here is Feudal Lords (feat. Nejel Mongrel) (be forewarned, it has the “s” word).
The Grouch. This guy is frequently collaborating with Murs, Eligh, Zion I etc.. He has a good organic Hip-hop flow. Grouch doesn’t really have a traditional Hip hop dialect. He pronounces the letter “R” in his lyrics, for example. Grouch tends to get a bit political sometimes, with the lyrics. Some of his stuff, I … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #36 (Grouch)→

With Method Man, getting hauled off … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #34 (AK)→
I was first introduced to Zion I by my good friend and skate/snowboarding partner from college, Jay Varini. Come to think of it, Jay introduced me to a lot of the less prominent hip-hop that I listened to in the early 2000’s. So, thanks, Jay. I know that a lot of the music that I … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #28 (Z-I)→
I recently joined the SoJones team as a contributor. If you haven’t had a chance to check it out, yet. Here is a link to an article that I wrote, over the weekend dealing with what to wear riding, this summer. The site deals generally with hip hop and urban fashion trends. It is a … Continue reading SoJones→
The other day, one of my friends accused me of not liking hip-hop. I was completely stunned, at first. The more that I thought about it, the more it made sense. Because, honestly, I haven’t really been a fan of a lot of the stuff that has come out recently, claiming to be hip-hop. I … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #10 (Ain’t no)→
