SUSPECT SPRING??... INVINCIBLE SUMMER!!
There must be something to this acting thing for Common. Ever since the Chicago rapper started devoting more time to Tinseltown, he also suddenly shifted to frenetic work pace with his music. Com is set to deliver yet another album this summer, titled Invincible Summer, according to Billboard. The album comes on the heals of his last project, Finding Forever, which spawned the Grammy-nominated collaboration “Southside” featuring Kanye West. Invincible Summer, however, won’t feature production from West, who had become a musical muse to Common. The two Windy City residents reunited on Com’s BE and Finding Forever. Common gave ‘Ye credit for inspiring him again, but on the new album he decided to go a different route. Mainly because West was busy on his Glow in the Dark tour, Common said he couldn’t get much studio time with the producer. So he instead hooked up with the Neptunes and one-time OutKast contributor Mr. DJ. The result is a more electro-tinged sound, reports Billboard. Cee-Lo, Chester French, and Santogold are expected to appear on Invincible Summer. The album is tentatively due in July.

Record Review - by Tara "Hustla" Muldoon
AZ
Undeniable
By Tara Muldoon
AZ is the most underrated hip-hop artist of this era and this album, yet again, attests to why: he is a veteran and the new school generation should take note. As his catchphrase states, a “rather unique” flow and swagger complete this project with a feel-good essence and storytelling: “I’m an HBO episode/filmed in the streets of New York.” The best tracks feature AZ in his element over smooth production and eloquent wordplay, as in “Life On The Line” and “Dead End.” Intertwining street with conscious, mixed with a few female-friend tracks, Undeniable works if you overlook “Go Getta.” Being the worst track on the album, the single doesn’t do him justice, but not even Ray J can ruin AZ’s flow. (Quiet Monkey/Koch)
Fat Joe
Elephant In The Room
By Tara Muldoon
Being a Fat Joe fan, the first listen of Elephant In The Room is pretty mediocre. On the second listen it only gets worse. Eight albums deep and Fat Joe still hasn’t developed consistency? His feud with 50 Cent and the who’s who production may have garnered a buzz around the drop of the album but it disappoints. The first big mistake is the lack of content — we know you’re glorious already. The second mistake is his production selection — don’t choose beats that outshine you. The best songs are by far “300 Brolic” and “My Conscience.” With an entire new generation swooning over his “I Won't Tell” track featuring J Holiday, new fans won’t recognise his old music and old fans definitely won’t appreciate the new stuff. Let’s just say what everyone is thinking: it ain’t the same without Big Pun. (Terror Squad/EMI)

Welcome 2 the GooD LiFe!
January quickly draws to a close... and we may be feeling the crunch of those December Christmas gifts that are popping up on credit card statements, the harsh reality of those already broken New Years Resolutions or seasonal sadness from a schizophrenic winter.
--But As we get so wrapped up with self-pity, disappointment and frustration let's take a moment to put things in perspective.
Asides from the extra pounds that we have resolved to lose, in a ridiculous amount of time from the extra helpings of turkey over the Holidays-- we are relatively healthy.
Our Canadian economy is the strongest its been in years and apart from the occasional cry for sovereignty in Quebec we don't live in a war-torn country!
The drastic climate changes have not come as any surprise, as we've been driving 1 to 2 persons to a car per commute for years now-- so this was predicted, foreshadowed and accelerated
by the one person we can't run from... the man in the mirror.
So when we step back and pause before we routinely complain about something that we think should be better-- Remember it always could be worse!
Let us appreciate the simple joys such as, family and friends. The free things like when your child smiles while having fun playing games. Or the sights and sounds of a good hearty laugh from one of your friends as you casually tell them an anecdotal story of what happened to you on the weekend. And maybe we even appreciate the small things like when your partner instinctively takes time out of their day to check up on you, because you were on their mind.
I'm telling you it is those small free things, that we should really appreciate because nothing on this planet is guaranteed... and those things (not the monetary) that will determine a good life.
And by that definition... it's a GoOd LiFe!
