Phill & Friends Jam Session 11 (PV Girls)

If i had to pick from the awesome list of Phil Wade Jam Sessions, Jam Session 11 would have to be my favorite because I’m a sucker for harmony. Phill Wade, Rashard The City, and Dero the Guitarist teamed up and recorded an awesome freestyle about girls from Prairie View A&M University. Between Dero’s amazing talent on the guitar, and the combined voices of Phill and Rashard during the “PV you know” breakdown with a little help from Mr. SpB2, I’ve watched this Jam Session at least 100 times.

Classic Albums By Classic Artists: Lauryn Hill

L-Boogie speaks on The Miseducation Of. A very pivotal and important piece in American History, I put this album on and let it play. It’s good to have that feeling about music. She is very succinct and elegant when sharing her thoughts, never coming off as self-serving or in a disheveled manner. If I have a daughter I want her to strive for that kind of presence. About a week ago Reebok Classics had Nas give his take on Illmatic. Check both videos, and hit the jump for a kinda terrific and definitely wonderful version of the title track.

Created by four students from The Utretcht School of Arts in the Netherlands, this visually impressive piece depicts running scared and running out of options. Completed over the course of five months, the end product I think speaks to how your mind can play tricks on you, making something out of nothing. It reminds us to not take life too seriously. Oh, and SPOILER ALERT: It’s not actually about food. You can find out more information about those involved in creating Mac ‘N’ Cheese by clicking here.
