Tavis Smiley always does dope interviews… The guy is talented and asks some great questions. He had Lupe Fiasco on awhile back and I thought he did a phenomenal job. This time, he rounded up Nasir for a cool interview. Tavis recruits some quality hip-hop artists and doesn’t focus on the mainstream / popular ones… that’s why I think his show is quality.

The dude Random just shot over some instrumentals from his album “Mega Ran.” He made it clear that he had a lot of fun working on his album “Mega Ran.” I definitely dig Random, he has a real image and is actually a school teacher during the daytime. For more info on the dude Random and these instrumentals, be sure to hit up his blog. If you liked these instrumentals, you can cop the “Mega Ran” album here. If you like instrumentals from video games, you’ll dig this project. Peep below for the DL.

It being a Sunday and all, I figured you all needed to kick back and relax… What better way to relax AND listen to some quality music while bumping “Electric Relaxation” by A Tribe Called Quest. This is definitely one of my favorite tracks… IDK if I’m going to make another post today, maybe towards the end of the day I’ll hit up some tracks, but I’m goin to hit the weights, get in some cardio, and keep my ass fit. Chuuuuuch.
