Urkel Initiative

Barbra Streisand
Whenever I hear anyone say they have a stash of vinyl that they “don’t want”, “somebody left”, “grandma died and left behind” I immediately grab and go. In doing that I wind up having a collection that looks like so:

Langston Hughes | Genius Child
This is a song for the genius child.
Sing it softly, for the song is wild. Sing it softly as ever you can – Lest the song get out of hand.
Nobody loves a genius child.
Can you love an eagle, Tame or wild? Can you love an eagle, Wild or tame? Can you love a monster Of frightening name?
Nobody loves a genius child.
Kill him – and let his soul run wild.

New Blu
Why does every new Blu track sound completely raw and unmixed. Either way I’m anxious for his new record/mixtape/whatever Zoo York may be to drop. One of my favorite dudes on the mic right now.
Here’s two videos. The first being a test run with his new camera. The 2nd looks like he’s just fooling around in a cemetery still learning how to use the camera. Watch till the end. He...

Yasmin - "On My Own"
DJ/Singer Yasmin’s debut single. Out on Ministry of Sound, January 30th in the UK. Too many chicks are just a face and have no actual djing or singing abilities but she holds her own in both fields. Really feeling the songwriting. It’s an ode to all of you bucking the system and doing things your way.
