Mos Def performed the theme song for the Winter X video game. Should be interesting…

News on he dilated peoples (good name) album… It will have 17 cuts and as for production, Evidence does about 6 cuts, Alchemist did 5 tracks, and others include Joey Chavez, T-Ray, E-Swift, and Babu. Guests include: B-Real, Tha Alkaholiks, Aceyalone, Everlast, Planet Asia, Phil Da Agony, and Defari. Should be a hot piece of music!

Watch out for the canibus diss from Clef, its meant to be off tha hook! I am a fan of both canibus, and pre-fugee split Clef, so I don't mind who wins that one, but I am always up for a good battle!

A feature in an English newspaper "the times", says Meth and Red are promoting a brand of teas and soft drinks and they have sold out in stores. I cant imagine the parents will be too happy bout their kids saying "I wanna be like meth and red!".

The Dungeon family are going on tour this summer… should be good…

also, this summer will mean the return of the Smokin Grooves tour however, the only confirmed act thus far is Beenie Man, rumours are circulating that Clef, Choclair, D'Angelo, Roots, Common, and Kelis will be joining them.
