We heard this a few days ago and again yesterday and again today…Although we both feel different about it, we can go on comparing from “The Fugees” L-Boogie to her “rock” style performances, on to “Repercussions”, and now her newest “Neurotic Society”. I remember seeing her at Rock the Bells a few years ago and her performance was more on the rock tip…I thought it was dope, while half of the crowd was booing her. Then we saw her about 2 years ago and she seemed to be her old self, just pregnant! Lol. I’ve always loved her as an artist and most definitely respect her work…How do you feel about this new Ms. Lauryn Hill?

Finally! His first single off his new album ‘The Good Life’, “Nasty” most definitely lives up to its name and takes us back to the early & sickest years of Nas (and hip hop) yet just what we needed in 2011. A dope beat with dope MC. That simple.

Like it or don’t…either way, let us know what you think…

Upon seeing the now classic 2010 film, LA/Orlando hip-hop artist Reason was inspired to create his own soundtrack. While composer Trent Reznor created minimal yet powerful electronic soundscapes for his score, Reason’s project creates a sound perfect for the headphone hip-hop listener. Over production provided by THX, Flash Beats, and Epik Tha Dawn, Reason tells his own tale of dreams, ideas, success, celebration, reality, and despair. The result is a sonic journey into the mind of one of the most interesting and fastest rising artists in hip-hop.

“The Social Network” is Reason’s first all-original project for 2011 and the follow up to his acclaimed 2010 Free EP “Kill The Radio”. Fans can expect even more original projects to come this year, and can be on the lookout for music videos including “Bright Lights” featuring Sarah Winters. “The Social Network” is available for free download and will give fans great music to vibe with and a new meaning to the Oscar favored film.
