At the Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival this weekend, Busta Rhymes brought out some surprise guests-Charlie Brown and Dinco D. The three initially gained fame in the early Nineties as Leaders Of The New School. LoNS split up after two albums, as Busta’s star power proved too big for a group dynamic. Charlie and Dinco both became estranged from Busta over the years, but apparently the three have made amends and performed together for the first time in sixteen years. No word […]

The Viewfinder: EvitaN feat. Sadat X, “3 Kings”
What’s better than EvitaN, the team of Black Sheep’s Dres and A Tribe Called Quest’s Jarobi? How about the Native Tongues twosome teaming up with Brand Nubian’s legendary Sadat X for a new song and video? As you may or may not know, Sadat X is, IMHO, one of the most underrated emcees of all time , so to hear his voice blessing the track “3 Kings” is beyond welcome. Both song and video give me fond memories of early ’90s New York…and early ’90s New […]

The Viewfinder: Evitan’s “Give It To Me”
In case you haven’t heard yet, Evitan is Dres of Black Sheep and Jarobi White from A Tribe Called Quest. Yes, Jarobi rhymes. Between this and the new De La Soul project, 16-year old Blerd is shitting himself with joy right now. The second video from the duo’s upcoming (untitled?) project is “Give It To Me.” I love the soul-sample flip. The beat’s timeless…it sounds dope in 2012 and would have had people snapping their necks EPMD-style back in 1992. […]
Who The Hell Is…EVITAN?
Over the past couple of days, I’ve been deliberating writing a piece about how odd it is that, in the era of perhaps the most civil unrest in three, if not four, if not five decades, there’s been almost no protest music being made. Hell, even in the Clinton era (when things were actually going reasonably well,) we had Rage Against The Machine and latter-day Public Enemy. Even Michael Jackson and Prince took time out from dancing and sex to […]

With release dates only set a couple of months in the future, this is also the time […]
