VIDEO: K'naan "Wavin' Flag"

Last year, while "THE KRU" was in the studio, K'naan stopped by and graced us with his presence. I had heard of him, but wasn't too familiar with his music, but Krucial spoke highly of him and was definitely inpired by this young artist.

We were heavy on IT'S SO KRUCIAL - KYTE.TV that time and K'naan decided to stay and joined us while we went "LIVE" with the fans -- played us "Wavin' Flag"; and a few others from his album Troubadour. The album is honest, deep and rich with words. I was definitely a fan after that and so was the rest of THE KRU. (If you haven't picked it up, I suggest you do. You will not be disappointed.) Now a year later, "Wavin' Flag" is the official song for the FIFA World Cup 2010 in South Africa. The honor is definitely well deserved, and I couldn't be more happier that this young poet/rapper/musician/activist/..... is being recognized globally for his talents. CONGRATS K'NAAN!!!!

Diggy Simmons "Flow Stupid"

I was impressed by Diggy's flow. The kid got skills....but where did that voice come from? I was definitley impressed. You would have thunk *yes I said thunk*. The kid is definitely growing up and into his own. But the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. He displayed this confidence about him that you rarely saw on the episodes of "Run's House" on MTV. Rev Run has definitely got to be proud of this, but I wonder how Jojo is feeling....considering.

How you feel about it? I like the original track "Made You Look" by Nas, but Diggy definitely didn't disappoint.



Could Diggy be the next young rap superstar? Would you be interested to hearing more from him? I'd like to see what else the kid could do with his lyrical skills.

From "Underneath the Sky" Mixtape Part 3

It's here kids...the new mixtape from Mateo (@Mateoonline) - Underneath the Sky Part 3. A lot of you know, I complain a lot on twitter about how we don't have many REAL musicians and artists coming out. I've been waiting for great music, and so far with Alicia Keys' The Element of Freedom to Jay-Z "Blueprint 3" and Sade's "Soldier of Love" I've started to fall in love with music again, but a new comer (not really, since he was with Myspace Music) is flourishing with his mixtape. Mateo has added to my music candy shop and I am loving the R&B rendition of Empire State of Mind to Lady Gaga and Kanye.

I remember hearing him play "Just Get To Know Me" in the studio with Kerry "Krucial" Brothers. I hadn't heard of him until that day and his voice resonated eversince. Thank you Mateo. RESPECT!!!!
