You guys sound hella judgmental. lol Certainly I have my own opinions on things, but we really don't know exactly how it all went down. If anything, it's stuff like that that makes me even more interested in what he has to say.

PHIFE, BUSTA RHYMES, REDMAN - Nutshell (Remix) Forever (2021)

The just released the music video. It must have been hard for Phife's family to keep this to themselves for so long. They dropped it on the fifth anniversary of his passing.

Prince Markie Dee, a member of pioneering Hip-Hop group the Fat Boys/Disco 3 has passed away. I enjoy the Fat Boys, but Prince Markie Dee's work in the 90's is incredible. In the style of the Fresh Prince, Heavy D, Father MC, etc, his solo projects had class and didn't try to buy into the popularity of hardcore Hip-Hop. He also produced and worked behind the scenes with Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey, Eric B + Rakim, Al B. Sure, Luther Vandross, Brownstone, Kool G. Rap, and Father MC. https://allhiphop.com/news/breaking-news-prince-markie-dee-of-the-fat-boys-has-died-only-52/

COMMON - Fallin' Beautiful Revolution Pt1 (2021)

It's finally coming, Phife's second solo album. Here's part two of his 2016 single.

Some of you might like this. The beat is so mid-90's. I've been following Fokis for a few years without diving too much into his music. I'm definitely getting his upcoming album. FOKIS - Breakin' Hearts (2020)

Meh, the review is kind of weird. It has nothing to do with whether it's on vinyl, cassette, or CD. They say a few things that make it sound like they grew up on the album, but it sounds like they bought it two weeks ago and decided to write a review today. With every few good things that they, they say something mediocre without being too specific as to why something is good or bad. If that website gets any attention, it's nice they gave it some spotlight....but I wanted more. lol

One of my friends just shared this song with me. He's a hip-hop artist from my area and I loved it on the first listen. Skip to 3:40 mark to hear the song. I have a feeling a few of you will like it, too. HOOKDIGGY - Perry Ellis (2020)

If you like Gwen or No Doubt, you'll enjoy this. I love it. GWEN STEFANI - Let Me Reintroduce Myself (2020)

It was a weird year, but I'm sure we'll all celebrate this. https://comicbook.com/movies/news/bad-boys-for-life-top-box-office-2020-release-domestic/ Bad Boys for Life Is Officially the Highest-Grossing 2020 Movie at Domestic Box Office By PATRICK CAVANAUGH - January 1, 2021 02:02 pm EST In any given year, the biggest box office successes often hit theaters in the summer months, but with 2020 being such an unprecedented year for a number of reasons, the highest-grossing movie at the domestic box office was a January release, with Bad Boys for Life topping the charts with $204.4 million. Interestingly, 1917, which was released in 2019, was the second-highest-grossing movie of 2020, as it earned $157.9 million, with the December 2019 release scoring major numbers thanks to it securing a number of major awards and recognitions in the early part of the year and helping it trounce the competition. When audiences look back on box office earnings in 2020, the totals will surely come with a number of asterisks. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, theaters around the world shut their doors in March of 2020, with new releases only seeing wide, global releases in January and February. Films like The Hunt and Bloodshot briefly landed in theaters, though quickly pivoted to Premium VOD services as theaters closed. As the months passed, international theaters began to reopen as various countries got a better handle on containing the pandemic. Christopher Nolan's Tenet, which was slated to be one of the year's biggest releases, delayed its release for weeks at a time, all while other major blockbusters pushed their debuts back by months. Warner Bros. and even Nolan himself were hoping that the release of Tenet could help usher audiences back to theaters and revive interest in the cinematic experience, with the film first opening in select foreign markets on August 26th before opening domestically on September 3rd. Sadly, with limited theaters being open and with those open theaters functioning at a reduced capacity, Tenet failed to make a major box-office impact. Complicating matters further is that the film had a number of stipulations of where it could be screened, making it difficult for even the most devout Nolan fan to see his latest adventure on the big screen. The future of the movie industry is still quite unclear, given that we're still in the middle of the pandemic. Surely the promise of a vaccine being distributed brings hope that 2021 could see some sense of normalcy be resumed around the world, but between there being no official timeline of when these events could occur, and studios like Warner Bros. committing to releasing their films not only in select theaters, but also on HBO Max the same day as their theatrical debuts, it likely means it might not be until 2022 or 2023 that we see the movie industry bounce back to pre-pandemic numbers.

This one hits hard. https://blackamericaweb.com/2020/12/23/john-ecstasy-fletcher-of-whodini-death/ John “Ecstasy” Fletcher Of Whodini Reportedly Passes Away Brandon Caldwell Source: Paul Natkin / Getty John Fletcher, the rapper better known as Ecstasy from the 1980s hip-hop group Whodini, has reportedly passed away. “One Love to Ecstasy of the Legendary #Whodini,” Questlove wrote on Instagram Wednesday (December 23). “This man was legendary and a pivotal member of one of the most legendary groups in hip hop. This is sad man.” Fletcher, along with fellow rapper Jalil Hutchins formed Whodini in 1982 in Brooklyn, New York. Together, they were one of the first groups to add R&B elements to their music with singles such as “Five Minutes Of Funk,” “Friends,” “Big Mouth,” “Freaks Come Out At Night” and “One Love.” Between 1982 and 1986, the group released three albums including their self-titled debut in 1983, Escape in 1984 which went platinum and Back In Black in 1986. Fletcher often wore a Zorro hat on stage and the group helped introduce producer and songwriter Jermaine Dupri to the business as he starred as a dancer on their tours. “My God, this one hurts me so bad,I can’t even believe I’m posting this,” Dupri wrote on Instagram. “Ex you know I love you thank you for every word,every conversation every good time,may your soul Rest In Power.” In 2012, Whodini was featured in an episode of Unsung detailing their rise in the industry. An official cause of death has yet to be determined.

LL Cool J broke out the 1990 fan favorite with DJ Z-Trip.

He just dropped a new one!

This one always makes me nod my head.

Overall I'm really happy with it. There's a couple songs that lean toward filler, but overall, I just love the energy and the variety of sounds. This one of my favorites, thought I was disappointed that it says "feat. BBD" when it only uses a vocal sample. It's funny that they did the video based on a sample.

I know B2K fans annoyed us back in the day on the Sony boards, but I did like a lot of B2K's stuff. Omarion's new stuff is dope. OMARION + WALE - Mutual (2020)

Not exactly news to us, but it's still a good interview.

New KRS-One! The beat is nothing special, but he's got the lyrics, as usual.

TORI KELLY - 25th A Tori Kelly Christmas (2020)

I was just going to post this. She deserved more time.

We don't hear enough from this guy...

Wow, I can't believe we haven't stumbled upon this sooner. I love the new lyrics to fit the station.
