The True question should be have you seen Nola Darling perform yet? Well let me Break it down 4 u! "They're DOPE!"

Nola Darling is the female dynamic duo consisting of Aziza Montenegro and Nikkobya Bisou. I first witnessed Nola Darling Performing @ a spot in BKNY with their crew the AOK Collective which Includes Fresh Daily, 2 Hungry Bros., Homeboy Sandman and more. Although I loved the entire crews performance I must say I was sooper dooper impressed with the fact that Nola was able to rock shock the house full of straight Hip Hop heads with their soulful blend of Hip Hop, Reggae and Soul music. If I had to make a comparison I would say it was a cup of Salt N Pepa, TLC and Monie Love, with sprinkles of Queen Latifah in her prime. A breath of fresh air to say the least, it always makes me feel good when I see women express themselves within the realms of Hip Hop and just be women instead of trying to deliver extra agressive as if Beautiful woman can't rock the MIC too!

SW CMJ Listening Party Run DOWN...



CMJ 2008 was definitely a BLAST! I have to send a special thanks to all the sponsors for our Shaman Work Listening Party event @ Frank White in BKNY. Big shouts to Kangol, Frank 151, Kiser and of course Frank White for allowing us to have the event at their beautiful space. I would easily recommend Frank White for any intimate style events the space is very cozy and vibrant and the staff is very hospitable and amazing!

Thriller 25 is a 25th Anniversary special edition reissue of the Michael Jackson album Thriller, the world's best selling album.



Jackson released his sixth studio album, Thriller, on November 30, 1982. Selling, by different estimates, 47 million to over 100 million copies worldwide, Thriller became the best-selling album of all time; the album was the first in history to spawn seven top-ten singles. The success of Thriller put Jackson into the dominating position of pop music, becoming an international pop-cultural icon.
