Lyric Jones! Do you have it? A nice amount of people feel that music is driven by the beat, the sound of the instruments collaborating to produce a tune of audio delight.

Each step to my goal has sinking me in a role/ where my shoulder's going cold, the more I'm getting old/ you know howit goes/ everything that glitter ain't always the gold on this road....copper likes to pose/ Derrick Rose penetration in your mental traffic/ illmatic habit that makes you want to grasp the graphic/ on my hustle cause my paper trail leads to money / the luxury I'll acquire was witnessed by three mummy's/ Candy coated benz, cool whip for a blue chip/ 365 days of playing [...]

When I touch your heart, its starts pumping a new pace/ every track I lace with verse is a labeled a cold case/ lyrical figure eights are the statements of my mission/ listen close to my diction, its a worldwide addiction/ Red Dead Redemption with a green house effect/ put you on game to the known to the New Danger like Mos Def/ the fake want a rep while the vets just want respect/ in a water world where most are afraid of getting wet/ 106th and park ordered [...]

Dead Prez is performing tonight at the Engine Room. Hope to see you all there! It's not officially summertime but I'm happy to be back in the Florida Sunshine for a while. Enjoy...

I must say that the seeds that we toiled over are now starting to sprout. Check out this video and Support local talent. Also peep Hollis Ave after the jump. PEACE Love and Hairgrease!

In 1972, in response to the reactions of his dancers, Campbell began to isolate the instrumental portion of the record which emphasized the drum beat—the "break"—and switch from one [...]
