Real Talk Tuesdays: P.O.S.

It amazes me what gets over these days. Lazy fashion rappers just looking for blog love while real MCs go about their careers unnoticed and underrated. Example - P.O.S.  listen to him murk this Doomtree classic and ask yourself if A$ap Rocky can do the same. 

Feel Good Fridays: BK One

For 10 years BK One travelled with Brother Ali as his DJ.  I saw them together many times in Champaign-Urbana and up in Minnesota.  In 2007 when the I-35W bridge collapsed in Minneapolis, BK's wife was on it.  She suffered some major injuries but bounced right back.  Since then, BK has chosen to spend his time at home with the family rather than out on the road.  He continues to be in incredible DJ and producer.  In 2009 he released the Brazillian flavored Radio Do Canibal (featuring heavy hitters like Raekwon and Black Thought as well as Rhymesayers staples Slug, P.O.S. and Brother Ali).  Here's the Radio Do Canibal Megamix to get your weekend started.
