Gangrene

I won't lie. I've never played any of the Grand Theft Auto series but all the soundtracks that accompany them are amazing. The latest edition, "Grand Theft Auto V", has a speaker destroyer called "Bassheads" by Gangrene. That's Alchemist and Oh No if you weren't aware.

Tupac

Pac

Time flies....when you're getting old. The fact that 17 years have passed so quickly is pretty alarming. Nearly two decades. I didn't just wake up today with this realisation. Today actually marks the 17th year since the passing of arguably one of the most recognisable and debated icons. Love him or hate him, he's still talked about to this day. 

Tupac Shakur is here to stay.

Nas - You Wouldn't Understand feat. Victoria Monet (Live Video)

Nas

Last night on The Arsenio Hall Show, Nas performed a live version of "You Wouldn't Understand" from his successful last album "Life Is Good". This was one of my favourite tracks from the album despite hearing that a few people weren't keen on the beat or R'n'B direction it takes. It was good to finally put a face to the voice of Victoria Monet!
