Make some room for Jay Read; bringing that Ohio sound production to the forefront by DATBOIPIZZ in “Breathing Room” with Dre Nix creating his space to roam on the track as well. I enjoyed the track even though I prefer more bass than treble for artists with an firm tone like Jay Rock; gives his sound more of a uppercut than just a punch to the gut, you know? Jay also got another cypher-esque type cut entitled “Bring Ya Gun” that will get you rocking if “Breathing Room Isn’t your speed. Hmm. I just might even review his mixtape “3D: The Mixtape” you’ll never know. Anyway, give your thoughts on Jay Read’s “Breathing Room” and let me know if you want to hear more of his fiyah. I heard that he’s working hard. Also make sure to follow him on social media like on Twitter & YouTube too, he connects with his people.

Nsikak gives us a little wholesome love, energy and happiness with the video to his new single “Everybody Loves Chocolate”. Nsikak & video director Brian Few Jr. shows us that there’s love within the Black/African-American culture and we’re not ashamed to express it. From our athletic capabilities to our delicious soul food; we have a huge cultural impact on American society. There’s yet to be a release date for Nsikak’s upcoming untitled project but, you can still download his mixtape “These Moments” and his other cuts like “3ME” Feat. Big Rece & “May Weather”. Meanwhile, tell me your thoughts on Nsikak’s “Everybody Loves Chocolate video”; how much do you love fried chicken?

Its been 2 years since “These Moments” & a while since he released “May Weather”. Nsikak comes back with some new heat and brings along his label mate Big Rece to keep us warm during these chilly fall/winter months. I enjoyed this introduction to his soon to be released project “The Lost Generation”. Nsikak & Big Rece mesh well on the track; makes you want to cook it up to the beat. Nsikak brings us simple, clean & obviously enjoyable visuals for “3ME” (Produced by Angelo Bombay) delivered by Brian Few JR. One thing I thoroughly enjoy about Nsikak is that he never strays away from the point in his music. Keywords: Consistent Lyricist. It’s hard to find artist who doesn’t have mainstream success stick to topics within their music. Typically these days Hip-Hop/Rap artists are hard to understand &/or have no motive (besides getting money) in their music. Besides that my ears are ready for some fresh music from Nsikak, more bars from Big Rece and more music from future artist that’s under the 3ME umbrella. So, are you anticipating Nsikak’s upcoming album? Did you turn up..or nah? Let me know by passing the message along and leaving a comment.

Nsikak opens up the new month and places his bet early with his new self-produced track “May Weather” which includes a classic 70′s sample that I’m sure you music lovers will remember; giving us something to bop to. Making us get with the money team. With that said; the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao will be live 9pm tonight for $99.99 PPV. Who’d you place your bets on?; re-blog and post your answer. For more dope shit; check out Nsikak new video for his track “History” from his album “These Moments” that I did a review on. Don’t forget to tell him I sent you.

YO What happened to you?

I know, I know. Its been a while since posting things but, i'm not asleep at the wheel. The good news is i'm working on things or trying to make the blogging site more sufficient, social, fun and entertaining for you.

In case you didn't know; it takes a lot of sleepless effort to keep JPF functioning fluently. As I said before, there's only one person running it and it gets pretty exhausting. In a day I spend a good 6-7 hours (9pm-3am est) collecting news to make it easier for you all. Not including my live reality tv/award show commentary via Twitter, I spend a good 35-40 hours a week (M-F) on the site alone. Then it's the editing, searching, links, making sure i'm not infringing on copyrights and so on.

let me stop complaining

Anyway, meanwhile I am looking for passionate writers to contribute to the blogging site; at least 2 people. I'm pretty sure you want more than my boring bias opinions on things, right? I obviously can't pay the writers but you could get the attention of Rap-Up or even bigger publishing's like Forbes or The New Yorker, who knows. The possibilities are endless.

Other than that, hit me up on Twitter. That's the best way to instantly reach out to me or e-mail me if you got music or business inquires, all contact information in the tabs.

Love,

JPF/Justice

Ne-Yo warms it up in his new video for “Coming With You”. Since Ne-Yo been making Dance, Pop infused R&B lately I’ve been hesitant to listen to his music because i’m so use to him singing songs similar to “So Sick”, you know, traditional male R&B. And his new style of music (which isn’t new) is slowly but surely growing on me. I guess Pitbull rubs off on people; he’s musically contagious. Any who, Ne-Yo’s upcoming album “Non-Fiction” will be released January 28, 2015 and will include singles: “Money Can’t Buy" featuring Jeezy, "She Knows" featuring Juicy J and his latest single "Who’s Taking You Home”. So let me know if you liked Ne-Yo’s new single and will be buying his upcoming album?

When weed becomes a topic of discussion among a rap artist and a journalist, sort of. Nancy Grace brings 2Chainz to her show to discuss weed; how ironically cliche is that, right? Nancy brings up the dangers of legalizing marijuana and 2Chainz brings up the benefits of legalizing it. I personally don't smoke weed; I tried it once and discovered that it's just not my thing but, I am for legalizing marijuana. I can understand both sides of the spectrum in the argument of legalizing marijuana but, first lets get into what is marijuana and the effects of it briefly.

It's basic knowledge that anything you put inside of your body that doesn't have nutritional value is considered foreign/harmful to the body and will be attacked by your white blood cells to fight off the foreign object. In psychology, Marijuana is a mild hallucinogenic drug that if used extensively will have subtle effects on your brain. It will slow down your motor skills, increase appetite (which is not bad) and cause physical damage to the brain just to name a few. If you are inhaling Marijuana you are allowing a foreign drug inside of your body that can cause damage. Now days, there's so many variations of kush that you don't know what it's blended with it and can be dangerous.

Now that we've gotten that out the way; on Nancy's show she is bringing cases to the forefront where children are involved as far as being exposed to kush in the manner of abuse. If you give any child a drug (because by law Marijuana is considered an illegal drug) you are endangering that child and will be charged with child abuse/child endangerment. Within the conversation, Nancy is holding 2Chainz or Rap/Hip-Hop artists in general responsible for advertising Loud and creating it into a sub-culture of America; basically saying that it's a gateway drug, in which it can be. Some people itch for a different kind of high after weed; I've seen it happen.

2Chainz defense is that those cases that were brought to his attention were cases of weed users being stupid, simple and slow & doesn't define all Marijuana smokers. 2Chainz goes on to imply that legalizing Mary Jane will decrease the waste of tax payers money, jails/prisons will not be flooded and will be a means of income for a lot of people and so on. Basically, 2Chainz ain't said nothing we've hadn't heard before from a smart weed smoker.

As the debate goes on Nancy Grace went on to ask 2Chainz questions that I think 2Chainz already answered. I've came to the conclusion that when it comes to legalizing weed, we as a country need to find a balance. I just don't believe that there's a right or wrong to the situation. I believe we just need to find a balance; it's the matter of give & take, cause & effect and supply & demand.

Watch a clip from the interview and share your thoughts about it. I think the topic of legalizing marijuana alongside legalizing same-sex marriage are both topics that are in matter of personal opinion and will be a discussion that'll last for years without a reasonable solution.

It's the Dawn of a new day! Dawn Ri'Chard teams up with fellow Danity Kane member Aundrea Fimbres for the 2nd single release "Phoenix" from her junior solo project "Black Heart" that is available everywhere including Spotify now. Outside of being a fellow heart; "Phoenix" is a refreshing Pop/EDM infused track which is placed towards the end of the album to give a smooth transition to the third installment of the trilogy. The track is very freeing, if that makes sense. You can listen to "Phoenix" in its entirely via Audiomack so, make sure to purchase your copy of "Black Heart" now and share your thoughts.
