Happy new year to all of the wonderful individuals that support this blog! 2010 was only the beginning of this adventure and there's no better way to kick off 2011 than with a super dope interview.

Sit back and enjoy this trip into the mind of LA. This young lady is making strides in leaps and bounds and is sure to be a huge success story in 2011. There are great talents and there are once in a lifetime talents. LA is looking like the once in a lifetime variety. Her incredible energy coupled with a genuine gift with words equals one of the most exciting MCs, male or female, signed or unsigned on the market today.

 

LiveWire feat. Mike Shorey - "Say Yeah" Video

LiveWire has been heavy on the underground scene for quite some time now and if you don't keep your ear to the pavement the way I do; just know that LiveWire is something like a big deal.

I've had the good fortune of seeing LiveWire perform live more than once and I can assure you that the name LiveWire is well earned. He's a genuine talent with the perfect combination of skill, ambition and business savvy. Don't believe me? Well, believe his Underground Music Award for "Most Exciting Artist of the Year".  His recently released "No Label" mixtape is making a lot of noise on the underground circuit and it's all thanks to Live's own ability to make it happen. From spearheading his company The Formula, Inc. to film to touring the globe to tearing down stages at a club near you, LiveWire is truly Living Inspiration Via Entertainment.

The Baddest Black Man in Outta Space

Check out this incredibly creative project being put together by Che Broadnax. Broadnax is an MC and 3D animator who just successfully completed an ambitious KickStarter fundraiser to help along the completion of this amazing looking art project.

I was introduced to Che's work by another graphic artist I featured here a short while ago by the name of Ken Hill. Needless to say, I'm impressed with Che's work and I'm very much looking forward to hearing and seeing the completed project.

Klippers Barbershop - Elizabeth, NJ

I love people who take their craft seriously. This crossed my radar today and I just had to share it here. I have a friend that lived in Elizabeth but recently moved to West New York. I will be making a stop by this shop the very next time I go visit Jersey Gardens.

It's wonderful to see someone that's been a barber for 15+ years adapt to today's market and sell himself and his establishment in a way unlike any other barber I've seen or heard of anywhere. This was a brilliant idea as far as I'm concerned.
