The TENS: Second Verse Better Than The First

Jairus Johnson - "So High"
Good talent speaks for itself, and that especially when I try to give an explanation of something on my blog, because I don't have to say much. Here's Jairus Johnson, a very talented singer that I was honored to have as the ONLY feature on my upcoming project, "The Relationship".
Howard University Protests!
Yazzur! After many years of consistent BS from Howard's Administration and many faculty members, the students finally stand up and demand change! I wish I could be there, but I was there in spirit. HU I see you!
Even fellow alumnus Diddy weighed in on the protest!
Wale - Roc4Life Interview
Here's an interview that the Ambassador himself did for a Roc4Life interview series. He speaks on the upcoming album, beef, internet f**kery, a DMV Slaughterhouse (where yours truly is mentioned), and more...
Part 2
Also, check out the artwork for Wale's new album, Attention Deficit below
If you don't mind, I'd like to say, "Great minds think alike"!!!
Am I reaching?? Lol. Either way, shouts out to Wale.
Looking forward to the album
SUPPORT QUALITY HIP-HOP!
Mass Potential - "The Rejects Ziptape"
The homie Mass Potential comes with yet another amazingly creative concept for a project... "The Rejects Ziptape". Put simply, it's comprised of the tracks that didn't make his previous mixtapes (hence, "rejects"). Honestly, I can't really explain this in words, so I STRONGLY advise you guys to download/listen to this project ASAP. You GOTTA respect the homie puttin' it all out there for the public. Plus, don't think by "rejects" it's all wack music... Not at all!! See for yourself...
Let this hold you over until the release of the next mixtape from Mass Potential, "Something Like Nothing Else". I'm on there w/ a few other great MC's so be sure to check it out. I'll post it on here...
"Handle With Care"
New music from Mass Potential (feat. Cayan, G*Two, and Myself), called "Handle With Care", from Mass Potential's upcoming "Somethin' Like Nothin' Else". Four of DMV's nicest MC's going in and giving you the feel of that good ol' classic Hip-Hop.
Also don't forget Mr. Potential's unanticipated random assortment-tape "The Rejects Ziptape", which is literally just a compilation of all of the songs that didn't make it on other mixtapes. It will be available August 31, 2009
EDITOR'S NOTE: Can't wait to hear these two projects!
CLASSIC HIP-HOP MOMENT!!
I've watched this video MORE than a few times, and each time I can't get this grin off my face. It's incredible seeing some of Hip-Hop's elite just sitting around a table drinking beer and spitting bars. No bickering, no jealousy, no disrespect, ALL CLASSIC!!
Told Ya! One day I'll share a moment like this with the new generation of greats... mark my words!
Sun's Out, Guns Out LP
Yup, it's finally here...
"Sun's Out, Guns Out" but the homie G*Two. Ten tracks all produced by The Congregation, and definitely a way to close the summer PROPERLY. Don't miss out on this... this is just the beginning of great things to come for the homie G*Two.
Mouse aka the Waldorf Posterboy - "Countdown to 1.5"
If you know one thing about Mouse aka the Waldorf Posterboy, it's that his grind is INCREDIBLE and he is 200% passionate about his work (I guess if you DIDN'T know... you know now lol). Anyhow, he's been putting this project together for quite some time w/ many obstacles, but the masterpiece is finally here! This project features a number of great artists (including yours truly & FNFG) along w/ some great producers as well. Mixed by LCD, you can expect nothing but perfection from one of the DMV's most promising artists. PLEASE don't sleep... GET HIP.
Oh yeah, wanna know how passionate Mr. Mouse is about his work? Not only do you get "Countdown to 1.5" in this download, but also "Countdown to 1.5 Part II (The Vault), damn near another ENTIRE project to hold the fans over until the rocket ship officially takes off... M-O!!!
G*Two - Sunrise
Honestly, I don't have much to say for what's about to happen, folks... I'll let the man of the moment speak:
*clears throat* It's been a long time ejaculating. Get it? I present to you, the debut video for 'Sunrise'. The intro track for my new LP entitled: Sun's Out, Guns Out. Enjoy. Tell a friend to tell a friend. To ask your mother. Peace!

Oh yeah, did you see me in there? DAMN RIGHT! Make sure you download that Sun's Out, Gun's Out!!
FNFG - "Lead By Example"
IT'S FINALLY HERE!!!
YOU NEED THIS MIXTAPE!!
"LEAD BY EXAMPLE" BY FNFG.
Shouts out to DJ Anonymous & DJ Uneek for mixing the project!!
I'll let the music speak for itself!
Shouts out to:
New DMV Music!!
Coming from two of my favorite DMV MC's: G*Two and Mass Potential, CHECK IT OUT!!!
New project from Mass Potential coming soon...
"FLOW DOPE"!
Clif Soulo - Summertime Love
New Music from the homie Clif Soulo. If you're not familiar, here's your chance. This is his new single "Summertime Love". This has a quality summer feel and the title speaks for itself. I'm definitely feeling this because I just wrapped up "The Relationship" so I'm still stuck in that mode. Check it out!
A note from Clif Soulo himself:
Here is the new joint I'm pushing right now, Summertime Love (produced by the homie Sammy J). The title pretty much sums it up, laid back, feel good joint for the summer. Check it out and let me know what you think!
Oh, and funny story about this song. I wrote this in may-ish, early june right. And I was getting stressed the hell out because If I didn't get a chance to record this soon enough, I'd either have to wait until next summer or put it out in the fall/winter (which would be kinna silly). So shouts out Noah and Coogler Studios for letting me do my thang and get this joint finished, otherwise this might have been on the shelf like my other project (forever be hip hop) for the moment anyways.
Until Next time...
Peace,
Clif Soulo

Chainz Spazzes!!
Anyone that knows ANYTHING about my lyrical partner in crime, Chainz, knows that when he's on a beat, it gets killed. This video is no exception... be on the lookout for his mixtape on the way, "Scatterbrain".
More Real Talk - The TONY YAYO Edition
I don't know what's going on, but I'm really getting surprised by some of the behavior I've seen as of late. Some of my favorite and most respected celebrity figures are losing their minds, and the ones that I thought were completely lost are impressing me. Yesterday was Ms. K Steffans, and today is none other than Tony Yayo.
I posted this especially for those of you that are involved in groups, cliques, movements, etc. Tony Yayo drops some quality knowledge about playing one's role within a machine, and even loyalty. The recurring breakdown of powerful machines is really annoying me in Hip-Hop, so maybe this will help give some perspective... enjoy.
Ladies... Tell a Friend to Tell a Friend
In the video below... Karrine Steffans drops some knowledge about how to get and keep a man. Never thought I'd say this considering all the history, but she makes a LOT of sense. It's good to see that someone can grow from their past and try to do something different. Observe.
My President IS Black!
Pres. Barack Obama recently passed my, "YES, I'm Black" pop quiz. While he was out the other day, I planted a small object in a doorway I knew he'd be passing through to see if upon tripping, he would handle it like the average President, or a certified black man.
Yup, he's BLACK!
If YOU are black, you already know the criteria for accidentally tripping like a black man. Therefore, you do the math for yourself...
Yup, he's BLACK!
G* Two - Sun's out Guns Out Artwork!
If you all have been following the homie G*Two (as you should) then you would know that there is a VERY anticipated project nearby. With ALL production by The Congregation, this is sure to be a quality piece of work!

Ricosuave - ATL Digression Freestyle
Man I'm late posting this, but this is some new CRAZINESS from Ricosuave. This is called the "ATL Digression Freestyle" and is over ten minutes of spitting from various ATL Classic instrumentals. The ATL Superhero comes to the rescue with this one! Check it out below.
Another Co-Sign from DMV's Ambassador!
While searching on The Hip-Hop Update (shouts out to the homie Clif Soulo) I found this interview by DMV's own Wale. Skip to around the 2 minute 30 second mark to hear him mention yours truly, with QUITE the co-sign and compliment. Again, he didn't HAVE to mention me, so I appreciate the look.
Shouts out to the other artists mentioned, respect!
