Lil Waynes Latest Letter From Prison
HIGH HOPES AND GRATITUDE
Hello world… I’m good. Counting the days and still smiling. Most of those smiles come from hearing my kids’ voices over the phone. The others come from reading fan mail. Let me just say that I have the best fans in the world! The devotion, dedication, support, love, and most of all, prayers are simply the best. I never imagined that I could have such an impact on people’s lives. Because of this, I vow to be a bit more careful of what I say.
So I’ve been writing and let me be the first to tell you that the lyrics that I’m writing are… well there’s no word that I can think of that properly defines them. Amazing would be too typical and perfect would be unfair. I listen to the radio sometimes, emphasis on sometimes, and I hear the new music. I like some. I applaud my Young Money family for what they’re doing. As I’m not surprised. This is what we’re supposed to do. Congrats to Drake and Nicki for all their recent success. Those 2 are going to have me retiring early. I love my team. Much love to Tez and Mack. I know that people are inquisitive of what I do all day, so here goes. I wake up around 11AM. Have some coffee. Call my kids, and my wonderful mother. I then shower up. Read fan mail. Have lunch. Back on the phone. Read a book or write some thoughts down. Have dinner. Phone. Pushups. Then I listen to ESPN on the radio. Read the bible, then sleep. That’s my day.
I’ll end this letter, but never my love. I’m gone. Oh, and how ‘bout dem Lakers!?!
P.S. I thank my fans for appreciating me the way you do

Dumbfounded, Upcoming Asian Rapper!! 100!!!!
Being exposed to hip-hop at an early age, he randomly walked into a community center in Macarthur Park when he was 14 years old, running into Los Angeles OG’s such as Mark Luv (Zulu Nation), Poppin’ Chuck, Cre8 (RTN), and EZ Rock (Rocksteady). This is where he started freestyling and learning the history of hip-hop. The year after, a friend from high school took him to a place called Project Blowed in South Central where he found out what DOPE really was. that night he heard some of the most amazing freestylers, rappers like Otherwize, Riddlore, Nocando, P.E.A.C.E., and many more. After ripping countless cyphers and battles he earned the respect of the OG’s and became one of the “Blowdians” himself
Big Sean GOOD MUSIC
Sean Anderson, p.k.a. Big Sean, is the newest artist signed to G.O.O.D. Music/Island Def Jam at the young age of 20. Sean was born in Santa Monica, CA and relocated to the west side of Detroit, MI when he was 2 months old. He was raised by his mother and grandparents who worked steadfastly to instill in him the principles of hard work and determination. Sean attended the Detroit Waldorf School, a school of art, from Kindergarten to 8th Grade where he was introduced to a spectrum of art and culture. He later attended Cass Technical High School where he furthered his music career, met life long friends, and gained the support of fans and peers as he independently sold copies of his music. Sean gained a strong relationship with 102.7FM, a local radio station in Detroit where he displayed his rhyming skills weekly. There, he met Kanye West after a radio interview in 2005 and got a chance to display his talent by freestyling for Mr. West, giving him a copy of his music and sending numerous tracks for him to critique. After months of submitting songs and numerous meetings, Sean finally got the call from Kanye West himself saying that he wanted to sign him. Big Sean officially signed to G.O.O.D. Music in 2007 and then signed to Island Def Jam in 2008. Sean has two mixtapes under his belt starting with “Finally Famous–The Mixtape” [Nov. 2007] and “U Know Big Sean–Finally Famous Vol. 2” [Nov. 2008]. His hit single “Getcha Some” vastly took over the airwaves and created major buzz for the artist and quickly solidified him as a breakout star. The single first debuted on Kanye West’s “Cant Tell Me Nothin’ Mixtape” giving him the exposure needed to showcase and introduce his talent to the world. Big Sean is scheduled to release his debut album entitled “Finally Famous” in Spring 2009. The album features Hip Hop stars such as ten-time Grammy Awardhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammy_Award-winning artist Kanye West, Pharell, The Dream, and many more. Big Sean has been spotted beside Kanye West all over the world including Los Angeles, New York, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Hawaii, etc. To stay connected to Big Sean check out his official MySpace at WWW.MYSPACE.COM/UKNOWBIGSEAN for exclusive updates that you wont see anywhere else.

Upcoming Hype "Ebonics"
Download the FREE "PSA" MIXTAPE
Bio: Youth combined with truth, that’s what defines Shelton “Ebonics” Long, the 19-year-old Master of Ceremonies from Providence, Rhode Island. Shying away from the stereotyped image of the average rapper with negative messages about murder, sex and drugs, MC Ebonics’ lyrics focus on the truths of life, including dealing with relationship problems and people who aren’t all they seem to be: “Everything I write comes from the heart.” Ebonics first single, ‘Hata Blockaz’, has already gained almost 700,000 plays on his MySpace page. Ebonics has transformed a rough upbringing into a successful future: “Growing up was pretty bad. I never had a stable home.” His father was often selling drugs or spending time in jail, leaving Ebonics and his single, world-weary mother to fend for themselves: “My mother and I would get death threats. They would shoot up my mother’s only vehicle, which she didn’t have money to repair at times, so we would be stuck taking the bus a lot. Every negative thing that happened, no matter what, my mother never gave up. She would always tell me that things would get better.” The two eventually moved from Connecticut to Providence, and, finally, to Cranston, Rhode Island. Ebonics started writing lyrics to relieve stress, and his hobby soon turned into a full-time occupation: “My family knew I was put on this earth to entertain others, no matter what.” Since then, Ebonics has honed his skills with performances in various talent shows, charity events, and in popular venues such as the 305 Club in East Providence and Jerky’s Live Music Hall and Sticky Fingers in Providence. Ebonics’ song writing process is freely structured: Freestyling at home often has him jotting down lyrics for later use and he always writes the chorus of a song first. “At times, I automatically know what I’m going to write as soon as I hear the beat. Something inside me paints the picture before I even know what I’m going to talk about. As soon as I come up with the title of a song, I think about how each verse is going to have a different impact on the song as a whole.” “My biggest influences are artists like Common, Nas, Talib Kwali, Mos Def, and India Arie,” says Ebonics. “I look up to each one as a lyricist and an inspiration.” Since Ebonics also dances, he looks up to Diddy and T-Pain, who both know how to make people feel good through wordplay. One thing’s for certain: Ebonics has a bright future. He’s already won first place at the Step Up Competition at the Columbus Theatre in Providence. He has a management contract with World Wide Talent Search, and his first professionally-produced single “Hata Blockaz,” produced by Mondo Music Productions, was released on Internet Radio in November 2008. Ebonics is featured on a UK artists hip-hop albums by Scratch Promotions scheduled to drop in February 2009. And, always, Ebonics’ focus is on telling the truth: “I never second guess myself saying, ‘Wow, maybe I shouldn’t have said that certain thing in my song.’” Ebonics is 100% real, now and always. “I can only be me, and nobody else but me.”

Jay-Z wines and dines Lebron James
Hip-hop magnate and Nets minority owner Jay-Z has said publicly that he's not going to pressure his friend LeBron James to join his team, but who says he can't seduce him a little?
On Friday, less than a week before a handful of NBA ball clubs travel to Ohio to woo the soon-to-be free agent into one of their jerseys, King James spent some quality time with Jay-Z in New York, and got a taste of the super-swank life that could be his if he made the Nets his team.
James made a surprise appearance at the 40th birthday party for branding guru Steve Stoute that took place Friday night at a magnificent seventh-floor roof garden at Rockefeller Center. (In addition to being a close friend of Jay-Z's, Stoute is the founder of Translations, the marketing firm that has put James together with McDonald's and other deep-pocketed corporate sponsors.)
At the party, LeBron - who's no stranger to VIP treatment - got the full Jay-Z Family experience: he arrived with the rapper and his wife Beyoncé. Mary J. Blige was also on hand. He ate a meal catered by Chef April Bloomfield and the staff of the Spotted Pig, which counts Jay-Z as an investor. (Dishes included beef and Stilton pie and Arctic char; and at 2 a.m., breakfast with something called "steak and egg biscuits" was served.) And helping the crowd work off all those calories was Beyoncé's sister Solange Knowles, who played deejay for the evening.
According to another well-placed source, Jay-Z had plans to hang with LeBron on Thursday as well. The source says that Jay-Z had planned to make a midnight appearance with James at the NBA Draft Party that took place Thursday night at his 40/40 Club on W. 25th St. But, after spending the day working on his greatest hits CD, the rapper was "tired and hungry" and left James to his own devices, and the NBA star landed at Avenue with Blige.
Jay-Z's night out with James won't sit well with the New York Knicks. Reports say the Knicks scrapped plans to fete James with a pull-out-all-the-stops dinner in the city when they learned that James wouldn't be wooed in NYC. The NBA star's manager Maverick Carter announced that ball clubs would have to make the pilgrimage to Ohio to pitch James.
And it looks like Jay-Z has that angle covered as well. On Thursday, July 1, the day that James officially becomes a free agent, the rapper reportedly will travel to Akron, Ohio, with Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov, where the Nets are first in line to make an official play for the forward. But with rumors floating that James is taking a good hard look at the Chicago Bulls, let's hope Jay-Z was putting the full-court press on his friend this past weekend.

Shane Mathewson Zoo York Australia
Shane Mathewson Zoo York Australia skateboarding clip for mid 2010. A tribute to RB Umali's Zoo York Mixtape from the mid 90's featuring live scratching by DJ Rob Swift from the X-ecutioners. The original Zoo York Mixtape featured Roc Raida (RIP, also from the X-ecutioners) and is still one of my favourite skate video's of all time, so when I discussed the idea of doing a tribute with Rob Swift it was amazing to discover he was into it as well. Big thanks to Rob Swift, RB Umali at Zoo York, Lush Productions in Melbourne and of course, Shane MathewsonFilmed and edited by Dan de Sousa Distributed by Tubemogul.

Proclaiming his future goals and ambitions, it seems we are in store for a great talent and buisness minded individual in the hip-hop game. Keep him on lock.

Air Jordan 9 "Citrus" Release date change
Reports first stated that the Air Jordan 9 “Citrus” would officially hit on July 3rd, just one day before Independence Day. However, Jordan Brand has pushed its release up to a Thursday. The Air Jordan 9 “Citrus” was considered the most anticipated Air Jordan 9 of the year until news surfaced that the “Charcoal” Air Jordan 9s were returning. Nevertheless, it is still expected to be on the feet of many Air Jordan heads next Thursday. Who else thinks this is the best Air Jordan 9 release of 2010?

AIR JORDAN 7 White/Orion Blue
In addition to the Air Jordan 3 White/Cement and the Air Jordan 13 “Playoffs”, Jordan Brand will also unleash an Air Jordan 7 during the year of 2011.
At a first glance, this shoe may remind you of the Air Jordan 7 “Pacific Blue” that released in 2006. However, the color schemes are obviously different. Orion blue and infrared accents provide nice color blocking on the predominately white leather upper and are specifically spotted on the sole, tongue and heel. Any chance we can see Kevin Durant play in these? Just one game? If you recall, we haven’t seen a colorway of MJ’s seventh signature sneaker since 2009’s Air Jordan 7 DMP 60+ Pack, and there has been no sign of an Air Jordan 7 release this year. Therefore, will you jump on this Air Jordan 7 White/Orion Blue when it releases?

ARTIST QUOTE
"How do you impress people who have everything in the world? Show them something unique that no one else in the world can create. Over the years I’ve had the opportunity to meet some of the world’s greatest athletes and celebrities. And the funny thing is, as much as I’m impressed with them, when they’ve seen my work, they wind up being impressed with me! I’ve been fortunate to find myself on the field with Cal Ripken Jr…on the court with Michael Jordan…on the set with Will Smith…backstage with Garth Brooks…and even at the White House with President Clinton and Vice President Gore. I’ve truly been blessed. "
