This week seems to be the week of rappers we know and love forming groups and coming up with obscure names we don’t know. Trinity is the pairing up of A.G. (D.I.T.C) and Sadat X (Brand Nubian) and then there’s Durag Dynasty which is Planet Asia, Tristate, Killer Ben, and Alchemist. Cambodian Space Project is really new but it’s good for anyone that likes Dengue Fever and wants to dig a little further. (P.S. +FE = Foreign Exchange.)
One of these days, I’ll be able to file one of these posts that uses all the categories that you see under “Sorted Son”.
Guess my word!

“Give me a dollar, or I’ll spit on you!”
This is a picture of 10,000 hopefuls bumrushing the gate to take exams to get into art school in China. A bit more fierce than the “talent test” of trying to draw Tippy the Turtle or the pirate for the Draw Me! School.
Check out the rest of the photo essay, including the exam and judging, here.
In continuing the “Ready to Bake” series: With all of the ten year analyses of the U.S. invasion of Iraq and downfall of Saddam Hussein, I have yet to hear one mention that Iran’s power has increased as Iraq’s decreased. I’d like to see a detailed analysis of Iran’s power with regards to the fall of Iraq. As much of a dick Hussein was he did keep Iran in check.
It’s always nice to flip through my crates of 12 inches to find an old gem that’s been pressed between two other records like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for too long.

Where’s the new hip hop? Leave it to MelloMusicGroup. They’re doing a free early release of Quelle Chris’s new album Niggas Is Men, “the idea is to jump-start the new project and let people start spreading the word about the project & Quelle Chris.” But after Friday you’ll have to pay cash money for it, don’t get caught sleepin. The project also features some CFC favorites Fresh Daily and Tanya Morgan.
