New Artist Spotlight: Kwan Lee- “Be Yourself”
Kwan Lee has been rapping for a long time. He is also a producer. He has been making beats since he was 14. One day back in high school he was thinking instead of tryin to get signed, to just start his own label. So in his senior year of high school, he launched Brokeman Records. In Summer 2005, the hood finally heard his production at a local talent showcase that was on BCAT as he produced the track Sweet Dreams for Spin Siti. Up until then he never really had seen a lot of people nodding to his beats, and downplayed the idea of becoming a great producer and rapper. So after that he got focused and got better. Fast Forward to 2009. While thinking about quitting in late 2008, he turned everything around by launching his own website, his own youtube page, and finally finished his first compilation Purple Pain. With great things to come, he is definitely destined for greatness….

Jay-Z – Blueprint 3 Final Tracklisting
Wait?…. No Bleek?
The presumed final tracklist (and quite possibly rear cover artwork) appeared on Father Time’s site today. It looks like BP3 is gonna be closer to the second installment of the trilogy than the first. Features galore. Here are some of my predictions:
-”Hate” will probably be the most gregarious display of egomaniac greatness that we will hear this year….or at least since “Real As It Gets”.
-J. Cole will black.
-”Reminder” will be my favorite song. I don’t know, Jay is notorious for those late album solo moments.
-Wale and Mickey Factz will commit suicide before their albums are released.
Its pretty apparent that Jay is using this moment to align himself with the “Saved By The Bell – The New Class” “Teen Titans” “Digimon” new crop of rapsters. Kinda wild to think that Jay actually is gaining more from the features than the young guns are (no ChrisNeef-o)
I think it will benefit the old guy though. Hov gets better when he’s got something to prove. And he’s not going anywhere. I can’t wait until my son is on Blueprint 9 going bar for bar with Jay. I know Jay will still be worth a verse in 2029. He’s not the Brett Favre of this rap shit. He’s not the Rickey Henderson of this rap shit. He’s something much more than that….
When Jay gets that young rapper strength…he’s kinda like Mumm-Ra The Everliving of this rap shit.
