[Video] Jesse Boykins III – Prototype 3010: A Short Film
“In a time where life is often guided by misconception and tainted love its hard to truly find someone who is there for you for all the right reasons. No matter how you deliver your heart to a person, you still have to wait for them to open it up. I came up with this concept to inspire honesty. I’ve learned through life, communication is everything when you’re in a relationship. Take these visuals as an example of how something could be if there is no truth between two parties. She/He is your prototype and could be so much more if you allow it. Never Take The Love Of Your Believer For Granted. Much Thanks to Andre 3000.” — Jesse Boykins III

[DJ Mix] DJ Steve1der – Nate in ’08
This mix was done well before Nate Dogg‘s passing (in 2008, d’uh) so you know it was done out of true love and not in an exploitative way to cash in on the hype around his untimely passing, plus it was recommended by my good friend DJ Duane whose taste I respect implicitly so if he’s cosigning something, I’ma get at it like stat! Here’s the science:
“Here is my Ode to Nate the Great. Damn I miss hearing Nate on new music, Dr. Dre even got a fake Nate on “Kush”. Anywho I did miss a few key joints like his St. Ides commercial, but think I captured Nate’s essence w/ this Mix. Enjoy….”
Two Mixes from DJ Manifest: Eartight Volume One feat. Dwayne Morgan / Jampack: Flying Solo
“In a time where music steadily reaches for the formula verse and catchy hook – DJ Manifest and Dwayne Morgan have collaborated to deliver the perfect blend of lyricism and music on their inaugural mixtape series, EARTIGHT Vol. 1. This project strives to unlock the purity of quality music content highlighting thoughtful writing and inspired production throughout each selection. EARTIGHT fuses the best of Spoken Word (poetry) with ‘good’ music to deliver the perfect listening experience.
Borrowing from the brilliance of music artists through yesteryear and up-to-date, the playlist perfectly compliments the poetry of award-winning poet, author and social entrepreneur Dwayne Morgan. His pieces reflect on the state of music, the inner beauty of women and the inspirations that have paved his 15 year career as one of Canada’s most noted spoken-word artists.”

“It seems inevitable that at some point your favorite group or band will make a split and certain members will fly solo for what they hope to be greener pastures. This JAMPACK highlights music from a number of artists who successfully went on to bless us with some awesome singles.”
