I’m kind of kicking myself for not making it out to this show and kicking it at the crib instead. At least D was nice enough to bring his camera along to capture to moment. Check out the details…

Since I posted the trailer for this not too long ago, it’s only right i bring you the full feature. Check it out below…

As part of the Scion Easy 10 series, Anthony Marshall made this short 17 minute doc about one of our living legends, Brooklyn’s finest, BDK. Watch as Kane returns to his Brooklyn hood and gives us some great behind-the-scenes insights.

…but maybe I’m biased cause I’m from Brooklyn?….I doubt it…

When it comes to hip hop, there are only a handful of people that truly deserve to be called legends. In BDK, we learn the story of one of hip hop’s most notable legends, Big Daddy Kane. From music to fashion, Kane has always been a quintessential figure of the Golden Era of hip hop. In this documentary, directed by Anthony Marshall (co-founder of Lyricist Lounge), Kane talks about his years growing up as a kid in New York, his life in the rap game, his influence on fashion and his lyrical superiority.

J. Period just dropped his Q-Tip remix/best of project The [Abstract] Best, and it’s dope, like all the rest of the mixes he’s put out thus far…volume 2 is coming soon, apparently. Check out more info on that here: www.jperiod.com/q-tip/….

He’s been putting it down for a good minute, and is a good dude, so I figured I’d get some his older mixes to folks who haven’t heard, or might want to. Check the links below…
