The Queen is Back! More Powerful than Ever, May I add!
It was reportedly stated that Hip-Hop legend, Lauryn Hill signed a deal with Sony that will pay her $1 million to release five new songs. It was said that she did it because she owes several monies in taxes. She released the statement below via her Tumblr:
“It has been reported that I signed a new record deal, and that I did this to pay taxes. Yes, I have recently entered into an agreement with Sony Worldwide Entertainment, to launch a new label, on which my new music will be released. And yes, I am working on new music."
“ I've remained silent, after an extensive healing process. This has been a 10+ year battle, for a long time played out behind closed doors, but now in front of the public eye. This is an old conflict between art and commerce… free minds, and minds that are perhaps overly tethered to structure. This is about inequity, and the resulting disenfranchisement caused by it. I've been fighting for existential and economic freedom, which means the freedom to create and live without someone threatening, controlling, and/or manipulating the art and the artist, by tying the purse strings."
“It took years for me to get out of the ‘parasitic’ dynamic of my youth, and into a deal that better reflects my true contribution as an artist, and (purportedly) gives me the control necessary to create a paradigm suitable for my needs. I have been working towards this for a long time, not just because of my current legal situation, but because I am an artist, I love to create, and I need the proper platform to do so.
“The nature of my new business venture, as well as the dollar amount reported, was inaccurate, only a portion of the overall deal. Keep in mind, my past recordings have sold over 50,000,000 units worldwide, earning the label a tremendous amount of money (a fraction of which actually came to me)."
“Only a completely complicated set of traps, manipulations, and inequitable business arrangements could put someone who has accomplished the things that I have, financially in need of anything. I am one artist who finds value in openly discussing the dynamics within this industry that force artists to compromise or distort themselves and what they do, rather than allowing them to make the music that people need. There are volumes that could (and will) be said.”
I'm Ecstatic to Say the Queen is Back...!!!

Tuff Review - Shuwn Ray 2:32 PM (Birth of a Tyrant)
This is a Solid, Independent tape from Shuwn Ray. I give "Birth of a Tyrant" 5 out of 5 stars.
From great production, to Ray's fresh, raw sounding appeal on track after track the Huntsville, Al artist proved himself both lyrically and creatively able to hold his own. Ray touches on subject matter of life's hones-ties to the condition of today's society and the people in it. The tape has a real laid back authentic feel. Out of 14 tracks, every track is worth listening to and thanks to both the smooth transitions and quality of the tracks listening is an eager task.

T.G.I (Legendary Friday)
So for My first "Legendary Friday" of course I wanted to do an article on shumone, Legendary! So the task at hand I knew wasn't going to be simple. First we have to clarify our understanding of "legend". The dictionary states, Legend- the body of stories of this kind, especially as they relate to a particular people, group, or clan. So basically shumone with a high regard whom has proven themselves worthy of ovation. As an intelligent black woman and having a "history" that stretches so far back to an unbelievable past, I have several Legends to choose from. So instead of picking my brain extensively, I decided to go with shumone I've always admired and understood, Tupac Amaru Shakur. I know right, What A Legend! If I could describe him in one word my choice would be Realist.
The basics of Pac are, young black flashy entertainer thug with a Big mouth. To most people on the outside looking in he was an complex "trouble maker". To minority people whether we all accept it or not he was a voice for the people. In my opinion Pac was the idea black man. His strength was at times impeccable as he was very mature and endured lots for his age. It's no doubt Pac was wise and beyond his years, it's backed up by the outstanding work he did while alive and now by the material and legacy he has left behind. Pac was influenced early on with an american struggle known to most minorities, and are still faced today. Mostly raised in a single parent home by his mother Afeni Shakur, Pac was exposed early on to the fall of black people. He witness his strong powerful mother at her best, traveling the world, delivering messages to the people standing up fighting for rights. He also witness his mother become apart of one of Americas realities at her weakest becoming a drug addict. But yet and still he expressed his unconditional love and respect for Ms. Afeni, on the first single titled "Dear Mama" off of his Me against the wold album released in 1995 he rapped, "Ain't No Woman Alive that Can take My Momma Place". In 2010 "Dear mama was added to the National Recording Registry. "The library of congress has called "Dear Mama" "a moving and eloquent homage to both the murdered rapper's own mother and all mothers struggling to maintain a family in the face of addiction, poverty and social indifference"
I conclude, Pac simply was equipped with conscience and driven to make people think. From listening to his music, to watching his interviews, speeches, movies even music videos, I felt him. Pac was on a mission from day one to uplift, educate and empower people. He wasn't able to open everybody's eyes because of his outward appearance but he was trying to reach out to and appeal to a group of fallen people. Lost kings and queens with erased memories, lack of self knowledge, who were misplaced and miseducated. He was fearless, angry, and outspoken the perfect recipe to get harassed by a controlling, manipulating, and corrupt government. If you take a look into Pac's work and listen or "peep game" as he says, to what he speaks about you'll begin to get the bigger picture. Pac rapped about political and social views in ways to relate to a dumb downed crowd. He related to the american struggle even after success, as a male he gave women shum what of a voice and guidance/advice of how important both they and their roles in society were. During his lifetime he fought several battles mainly defending his character. He was more than just an entertainer, to me he was a leader, father figure and a historical legend.
I encourage you all to watch, listen, and do research on Tupac Amaru Shakur. I leave you with one of several of my favorite interviews of Pac's. Here he kicks knowledge, tells it like it is and gives us a glimpse of just how Legendary he is.
Thnx for checking out my monthly legendary feature. Feel free submit suggestions or inquire to me about anything! Mizztuffyal@Gmail.Com. Please leave comments and share.

ARTIST Spotlight @WesternTink
Today I checked out painter, rapper, artist, creator Western Tink. He definitely puts you in the mind of "new age" (free spirited artistry) he sounds like a mix of Wiz and Taylor the creator. All and all he has a very refreshing lyrical and creative approach that makes you believe in him. I would describe his music simply as real good sh!t. You can tell by his commitment to his musical deliveries via tapes, visuals and network he has Western Tink and MOBBIN NO SOBBIN to expose to the world. I subscribed to his YouTube and let his videos roll (http://www.youtube.com/user/lilbabythrillion). You can see Westerns continuous grind and growth over the past two years and obviously more. Captivating visuals and catty word play, Western defiantly has no problem holding his own. He's going in on tracks like 100-101, Burr, love me love me not, Summerdonnaloft, still hard to keel, fast life, to name a few and tons more!
The name Western comes from Tinks dwellings "all over the western united states". El paso, San Bernardino, California to Austin, Tx where he considers home. Western just said Fukk it one day and went about gaining his dreams even without the "necessary means" some artist may complain about that "hold them back". He just did what he could with what he had and the people around willing to understand his plans and saw his determination. He has composed solid bodies of work such as C.L.A.C (Chillin like a civilian) (http://www.thefader.com/2012/03/05/download-western-tinks-chillin-like-a-civillian-mixtape/). Dope pieces of art work (westerntink.tumblr.com) and a growing numbers of feature pieces and interviews. His hunger just as well as his talent is very evident and has been and still is paying off. Linking up with major producer/visionary Beautiful Lou (@beautifullou1) outta Austin, Tx their efforts of going forth, MOBBIN NO SOBBIN is a way of life for their founded family. I anticipate and look forward to their rise on the music scene.
Be sure to Support Western Tink!
