NowPlaying at GhettoManga HQ "With God" by Locksmith, Xzibit, + Ras Kass f/Brevi

"Let's eliminate the labor from the genre
Let the labels lactate fate in the form of karma
If you calmly disagree, they label you as a problem
I'ma be a thorn in they side 'til they embalm him

DJINNX #5 by J.R. LeMar & Samax Amen

 I have spent enough time unemployed and struggling to know that when you're desperate, you aren't careful enough about what you wish for...

DJINNX #4 by J.R. LeMar and Samax Amen

We are sex-positive here at GhettoManga, so we ain't hatin' on this dude's wish in this week's episode of DJINNX...  Let's see how it works out for him...

DJINNX #3 by J.R. LeMar and Samax Amen

Hey, fam! In the third episode of DJINNX - a comic strip series by J.R. LeMar and myself about a genie who's wish-granting skills could use some work- this old dude wishes to be eternally young.  What could POSSIBLY go wrong?

Ruby Ibarra goes in on her new album CIRCA91

"We are taught to fear darkness, but ironically find solace in the shade..."

Tweet of the Week- E-A-Z-Y comma. Now that's drama...

Felipe Smith tagged GhettoManga in this drawing of  Master Yoda rocking his Eazy-E style, so I'm thinking he wanted me to show it to you guys.  Here's a brief exchange with Felipe, another fan, and Gabriel Luna, who plays Robbie Reyes/Ghost Rider on Agents of Shield.

#NowPlaying LOOPS TWO by MidaZ the Beast

Rhymer/Illustrator Gift Revolver did artwork for this guy MidaZ the Beast, which would be reason enough to encourage you to listen to MidaZ's 2016 album Loops Two.  But as it turns out, Loops Two is a fabulous blend of true-school street hop and nerdcore wordery.  Stream the record below, and read some words from me, if you're so inclined...
