I spent quite a bit of time with Tanya Morgan’s Don Will last weekend. We linked up and visited some of the location spots for “High Fidelity” which was filmed in Chicago and serves as the inspiration behind Don’s 3.23.10 release, Don Cusack In High Fidelity. That video will be coming soon on RubyHornet, and for now you can dig on a preview for Don’s forthcoming “Love Junkie” video. See it after the jump.
Easy As 1, 2, 3: The Ringtone Rap Project
March 9th, 2010
Is making a rap song really so easy that anyone can do it? That’s the question my fellow Chicago writer, and Hip Hop enthusiast, Kyra Kyles is examining in her recently launched Ringtone Rap Project. Teaming up with Chicago-based producer Anton Genius, Kyra Kyles is going to create a song using simplistic lyrics, sparse production, and the good old hype machine. She can explain the whole thing much better than me, and you can find said description at her blog. You can also see the first part of the project in action in the video posted below.

Co$$: “Dub Plate”
March 5th, 2010
Co$$ is finishing up his debut album. I’m told it’s pretty dope… Here’s his latest that came my way last night entitled “Dub Plate”. Always one to offer insight, Co$$ tells us:
“Sup world? Anyone who knows me personally or musically knows I have the utmost reverence for the “old skoo”, so I thought I’d prove it by laying one of those throw back 80s/90s inspired joints…I hit up my nigga Playa Haze because I knew he could cook up one of those old skool joint with that classic boom bap feel..I came up on a variety of MCs, from Pimp C to Daddy Kane, Planet Asia to MC Lyte, they all inspired me to do what I do today, so enjoy the joint, and respect the Old School ya’ll, without the past there would be no present….R.I.P. Pimp C!!!……”

First-Ever Turkish Vogue
March 3rd, 2010
Vogue has brought beauty and fashion news to readers all over the world with their many international editions, now they’re sharing that style with the folks of Turkey. The very first Turkish Vogue hit newsstands last week featuring Canadian model, Jessica Stam on the cover.
I think it’s great that Turkey has their own edition of Vogue, but why not put a Turkish model on the cover? Why go Canadian? Just a thought…

Gorillaz: “Stylo” Video
March 2nd, 2010
This song and video just isn’t that dope to me, but I feel like it’s the “you just don’t get it if you don’t like it” song of the moment. It kind of seems like people are remembering The Gorillaz as bigger than they were, or I’m just missing something. I’m a fan of the band and all, but not a blind fan… This is solid, but I’m not ready to give out the Grammy… Anyway, the youtube video is non-embeddable by request, luckily we have Onsmash.
