It was a tough decision, but I decided to post about Mayer Hawthorne‘s new “How Do You Do” album. Yes I understand who this album is for and yes I do understand it’s out on Universal…a major label. What I also know is that this album is not really for me any more. Personally I find this way too poppy, but I do wish Mr. Haircut all the best with conquering the charts. I did however enjoy “Can’t Stop” featuring Snoop, because I never heard Snoop sing like this before. It’s rather funny and yeah I’m enjoying it a bit. Anyway..you can purchase a digital copy over at  already.

I have rarely seen such a dope Hip Hop documentary as “Planet Rock: The Story of Hip Hop and the Crack Generation”! Last Monday VH1 broadcasted this incredible video about the rise of Crack and it’s influence on the American society and Hip Hop. Narrated by Ice-T starring Snoop, Too Short, RZA, Raekwon, B-Real, Rakim and the real Ricky Ross. A must see if you ask me! Big shout out to Supreme Cuisine for this one.

Terrace Martin is a producer/saxophonist/songwriter has been playing drums and piano since he was toddler. Later at the age of 13 he fell in love with the alto sax and that’s that. It has been Terrace Martin’s love for the alto sax that has catapulted his career into a world beyond imagination. He has worked with people like Diddy, Raphael Saadiq and Charlie Wilson. Even more noteworthy might be legends like Art Farmer, Herbie Hancock, Quincy Jones and Stevie Wonder.

Mr. Martin also caught the attention of Hip Hop veteran Snoop Dogg and went on to become his production partner. On Terrace’s new release, “The EP – Volume 2: Lover Edition”, Snoop even pops around to do some guest vocals. Also dope to see Frank Nitt get down on “Go Girl” together with Problem.
