Mos Def and Tom Hanks son get involved in a bloody affair and Im excited!
Mos Def is all set to have multiple appearances in one of my favorite shows, Dexter, in it's sixth season! He will play a hardened ex-con who claims to have found religion yet seems to continually find himself surrounded by violence. Michael C. Hall’s Dexter will reveal the truth of who he really is. Sounds great to me and why not? I mean he is the best "rapper/actor" ever! Can you really challenge that? For more on the story go here.

Listen to Musiqsoulchild's new joint before you buy it!
Hey cuz, its nothing wrong with test driving before you buy the ride (-; This is Musiq's 6th studio album! Which is always great when a singer gets to give us this many albums. This one is called, MusiqInTheMagiq. IT also marks the first time that there will be absolutely NO songs from the production duo and Grammy Award winners , Carvin and Ivan who wrote and produced 90% of ALL Musiq's music. So far upon first listen its sounding pretty good. Soul music at this point feels so distant that any connection between me and good soul music feels so good. And Musiq is definitely an artists we can depend on to give us some good soul music!
He recently was on 106 and Park breaking down his new album which is in stores today. Check out the video here, and what happens when he shouts out her girl in the audience.....
Oh and get a listen to the FULL album and the link to his simulcast on BET Centric on the next page!

Raphael Saadiq helps Yaya Decosta add to her acting real with his new video!
I just recently saw Yaya in the Oscar award nominated film, "The Kids are Alright" (Annette Benning and Julliane Moore), and was quite good. Especially if you compare her to other model/actresses. For those of us who watched her go through the motions of a natural sista with not so good skin on "America's Next Top Model", its poetic justice to see her kill the screen. So thanks Raphael for seeing the talent in our Yaya! Check her out in his new video, "Good Man"
