I was thinking of making today's last post that surprisingly good new Snoop Dogg x Lex Luger x R. Kelly joint, or the incredibly confusing new Ron Artest x Nas record, but in the end I think I'm actually going to just post some really good music instead. I know, imagine that.

Block of Biggie (Pt. 1): J. Period & Ralph McDaniels “Flava in Ya Ear (March 9 Video Remix)”

Thirteen years ago today the greatest rapper of all-time, the Notorious B.I.G., was shot and killed. With that in mind I thought it was only appropriate to drop a Block of Biggie saluting the hip-hop genius that was Christopher Wallace. Starting off the festivities we have J. Period (co-creator of Nneka's "The Madness" mixtape) and hip-hop video pioneer "Uncle" Ralph McDaniels, who are releasing the fist of their "March 9th" video remix series with "Flava in Ya Ear", a club-shattering blend of the old and new that begs the question: where would hip hop be if B.I.G. were still alive!?

Nneka and J. Period Present “The Madness (Onye-Ala)” (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 12/15/09 | Filed under Downloads, Mixtapes, J. Period, Nneka

Twenty years ago Public Enemy hip-hop the chosen music of the revolution. Ten years ago Dead Prez re-introduced that revolutionary zeal to hip-hop nation with "Let's Get Free", and now Nneka is bringing the revolutionary power of music to a new generation with her new project "The Madness". Created alongside the always quality J. Period, "The Madness" will likely serve as both an introduction to Nneka, a Nigerian born singer who now lives in Germany, and a reminder of the power of hip-hop to truly change the world (you know, just in case the New Boyz didn't already remind you of that).
