#NowPlaying "I Rap Black" by CHUCK D, Bishop Lamont + MyKill Miers

Stockholm beatmaker Max- I - Million followed GhettoManga on Twitter today, so I looked into him and found this new Chuck D single I Rap Black, which featured three nice verses from Chuck, Bishop Lamont and MyKill Miers.

Is Misty Knight gonna show skills in WEAPON LOST? We shall see...

Misty Knight is on this awesome cover of Hunt for Wolverine: Weapon Lost #1, so I went ahead and posted this preview.  Misty isn't in the preview below, but based on the sales pitch, I'm hoping she has an important role in the series. 

SKYWARD looks dope...

Look up in the sky!  It's a bird!  It's a plane!  It's... pretty much everybody.  Here's some sample pages from the first couple issues of Skyward.

What d'you think about the new CZARFACE & MF DOOM video

I just watched the new video for Meddle with Metal, the latest single off the callabo record Czarface Meets Metalface...

Peep the old-school mental health hip hop braggadocio joint Might Go Psycho from the Filipino emcee Bambu, produced by Sick Jacken...

Director from THE WIRE, THE WALKING DEAD to bring Osajyefo & Smith's BLACK to the big screen

When Kwanza Osajyefo, Tim Smith and company launched BLACK on Kickstarter, I suggested that this project had all the pieces to take the Black Comix revolution (already in progress) to the next level.  Now, the revolution is following mainstream superheroes to the big screen. 

"DaVerse: You Are Amazing" by Samax Amen

Friday was the last DaVerse Lounge of the 2018 school year, and I was invited to come contribute my live art to the mix one more time.

afrofuturistic hip hop animated video INTERGALACTIC SERMONS

People often ask me about animation.  I worked on an animation team in 2011 and 12, but I am not an animator myself.  I created character designs, props, and environmental assets for an e-learning company.  I know just enough about animation to know how hard it is.  So when my homey DJ Night Nurse shared this incredible animated hip hop video Intergalactic Sermons on my timeline, my mind was sufficiently blown.

#NowPlaying- TALES FROM THE BASEMENT by A.F.R.O.

It's been four years since I first heard of the young phenom AFRO (All Flows Reach Out), but this is my first time actually paying money for one of his releases.  But Bandcamp hit up my inbox fresh off of depositing a check from my latest live art gig, so I copped his 2015 joint Tales From the Basement today.

Watch this promo cartoon for "Your Black Friend" by Ben Passmore

I was first exposed to the awesome cartooning of Ben Passmore via the comics-powered news magazine The Nib.  Ben's work raises the art of autobiographical comics to another level.  His deadpan voice speaks the language of the "woke" generation in comics form.  Anyways, this cartoon promo for his book Your Black Friend does an awesome job capturing the spirit of his comics whilst adding sound and motion.
