Right On! TV just released their exclusive interview with rising rapper Ramel “Mel” Carter (Jay-z’s nephew). Mel talks about launching his own label, his expectations to be the Number one artist in the next five years by continuing the Carter’s legacy; Jay’s words of wisdom to him and his reaction when Jay moved the family out of Marcy Projects.

A new track by Brooklyn rapper Foxy Brown hit the internet a couple of days ago. I’m late but I’m just like, is this woman serious? Ugh, she’s nuts (I have a personal story to corroborate that claim…but that’s another blog)!
The song, entitled Let Em Know features Lil Fame from MOP and rapper BAM. It was produced by Easy Mo Bee and Brown drops lines about Jay-Z, Rick Ross, Eve, Trina and Lil Kim (again). I wasn’t going to post this initially but I figured, maybe other femcees or aspiring femcees can take this as a lesson for what not to do. You need more people Foxy. You need more people…
At this point, who cares? Seriously. She’s been throwing shots at folks ever since she began releasing these random tracks since being released from jail and no one has responded yet. MESSAGE! Smh
Giggety!

Roc4life.com and GangStarrGirl.com teamed up back in May in search of a dope female mc for the “Roc Your 16 Bars” contest. It was tough competition as the ladies really stepped it up but in the end, Harlem native AtLas’ was the winner. Get to know her as she talks about her affiliation with MC Lyte and her love for hip-hop.
Today’s flick is Shaft. I fucked around and posted it hastily about two weeks ago because it was the 10th post, so I wanted it to be dope (therefore rushing by posting this one) but I left out an important tidbit. Don’t fret, it’s coming. I’ll make things right for unlucky number 13.
1971
Starring: Richard Roundtree
Synopsis: John Shaft is the baddest, most debonair Black detective in Harlem but that comes with price. He first finds himself up against the Black mob, then Black nationals–but those forces eventually unite when they team up to bring down the White mafia who are trying to Blackmail Bumpy (who is very loosely based on Harlem’s real life Bumpy Johnson), leader of the Black mob, by kidnapping his daughter.
