Now Playing- STREET UNIVERSE by Napoleon Da Legend + Giallo Point

One of the best emcees I have heard in the last ten years, Napoleon Da Legend returns with the kinda shit talking conscious lyrics that we took for granted in the nineties.  

His new jawn STREET UNIVERSE teams him up with soulful UK beatsmith Giallo Point.

Napoleon Da Legend is on his Nerdcore Sheez Again... AND WE LOVE IT!!!

The main reason I don't care about your favorite nerdcore rapper is that real emcees are into all the same cartoons and comics we are... 

Start the day off Right w/RAPSODY #SheGoHard

Let's get going this morning with a couple jawns from that chick Rapsody.

#nowPlaying BLACK THOUGHT + 9th WONDER- STREAMS OF THOUGHT

If you're listening to wack music in 2018, it's all your fault.  Why you hitting yourself?

"The role of blacks in half the movies. I ain't have a weapon, you ain't hafta shoot me. Yo, that's propaganda..." -Napoleon Da Legend

I haven't posted any joints from Napoleon Da Legend in a minute, but when this video for PROPAGANDA dropped into my email inbox, I knew I was gonna post it here for you...

BROTHERMAN added to the Smithsonian!

I have just learned that choice artifacts and original art from the groundbreaking independent comic Brotherman: Dictator of Discipline have been permanently secured as part of the Smithsonian's National African American Museum of History and Culture in Washington DC!

#nowPlaying MOOHAMMADEEN by Obadiah ONE

I first discovered Obadiah One years ago, via one song on a mixtape one of my co-workers slid to me.  Somehow me and Obadiah became friends on Facebook recently, and he linked me to his soundcloud, where I found this song MOOHAMMADEEN,  which is now officially my new sheet...

PREVIEW- Fight of the Century

 I ran across this science-fiction mixed martial arts comic Fight of the Century on Facebook over the weekend, and was blown away by this incredible unlettered five-page preview they dropped yesterday...

Building and destroying with Napoleon da Legend and Deepak Chopra.

"AZ in 'Doe or Die', I'm rather unique. I'd rather teach you how to fish, because I'd rather you eat..."
-Napoleon da Legend

#DownloadThis - SOUL OF THE CITY II by Shyne On Me

Right when I'm thinking social media has nothing to offer me, I got sucked in by the cover art to SOUL Of The CITY II on Twitter. This album by Shyne on Me, a D.C. area rhymer I never heard of before, may have single-handedly saved the internets from the blazing fires of my indifference...

#np "NEW YORK RAP" by DLP f/ Napoleon Da Legend, Fred the Godson, Dro Pesci

"Fuck pursuit of happiness; 
we pursuing the next dollar."

-Napoleon Da Legend

 * Napoleon always brings you that knowledge:
The 'founding fathers' knew 'the pursuit of happiness' was flimsy, so the Constitution verbiage dropped it in favor of "Life, Liberty, and Property". Anyways...

I know I'm late, but damn: #RIP the mighty Akil Nadir...

My motto: Carpe Diem.

My frequency so high, the crowd couldn't see him.

-Akil Nadir

See, this is why I fux wif @VonPea! #nowWatching the video for "CHASING AMY"... album, beat and video by @OTHERGUYSMUSIC

Okay, all my A-alikes have seen and digested the low-budget Kevin Smith classic Chasing Amy so we know where this video for Chasing Amy aka In Your Heart is going, but knowing the mighty Von Pea has seen it too gives one of my favorite under-appreciated Brooklyn spitters bonus points with me, should he ever need to cash them in. Anyways, watch the new video...

#nowPlaying "Han Solo (Chewie Tell 'Em)" by @VerbalGunslinga

"Got a lotta friends and a lotta ends,

So I let the wookie win,

Like my name was Han Solo..."
-Verbal Gunslinger

 

I know next to nothing about Louisville to Richmond transplant Verbal Gunslinger... But when he favorited a tweet for my blog post about the last week's Conspiracy Worldwide Radio podcast, curiosity got the best of me...

"I am the daughter of royalty on some queen shit. Roots are lain in foreign soil on some Ben Vereen shit..." @SaRocTheMC

My apologies to any of my friends that may have tried to put me onto Gods'illa only to be unjustly ignored. I'm late, but dammit, I'm here...

"20/20 hindsight in the limelight. Love is blind, right? Gotta get my mind right" -Napoleon Da Legend

Here's a sharp new video for Dancing in the Rain, the new single off Napoleon Da Legend's new album Awakenings. This video (directed, edited, and filmed by Edson Florez) helps illustrate the song's message about how past negative relationships can impact present and future ones.

Something to watch for in 2013- "PART TIME SHUFFLE" by James Stanley aka @BeefyKunoichi (interview)

This is an interview I did a while back with James Stanley aka Beefy Kunoichi. Dude is part of the growing legions of black anime/ manga/ gaming fans out there constructing worlds in the privacy of their own homes, and a proud graduate of the Savannah College of Art and Design. I think he is bound to be a brand name in comics, and I think you'll agree. I did this interview for GhettoManga Quarterly, but since I'm feeling generous again, here it is in its entirety for free consumption...
