The Prefixx Ep - Sah Ril (Boogie til Your Nose Bleed)

 First and foremost I have to say I am pretty stoked about this post off the simple fact that I AM FEATURED ON ONE OF THE TRACKS!!! VOQ's favorite rapper Sah Ril has been releasing exclusive tracks to a select group of supporters, bloggers, and musical connoisseurs over the past few weeks and we were lucky enough to get a chance to be included in that bunch. This is all in preparation for his upcoming Back Where the Pain is Vol. 3: Art, Fear, and Loathing release. Some tracks were released a while back and were possible cuts from the album, while others are never heard releases from Sah and others (like producer Danimal whom we have blogged about before). Each track is fire all the same. According to Sah these are all tracks that didn't make the album. With the caliber of tracks here I am all too excited to see what did. So check out the Prefixx and listen to your boy spit a little knowledge for ya'll... Blogs... I POST THAT! BUT IM NOT A RAPPER!... ENJOI!

Track 1: Servant's Theme 
Track 2: 80's Movie Cliche Romance
Track 3: Soul Rant (Prod. by Danimal)
Track 4:  MilliRoz ft. SdotBell and The U

I'm currently in my office, at my desk...sneaking this post. Lol because I wanted you all to feel the same sense of relief and pleasure while watching this in the midst of a mundane day at work or in class perfecting your hustle as well. I can't tell you how many early mornings I spent listening to "Ambitious Girl" while commuting to NYC to lug samples around for Vibe Magazine in the middle of a heat wave or late at night while I hung on by a thread finishing a ton of homework.

I'm sure I speak for the ladies when I say that the grind is always personally worthwhile, but it feels really good to have a guy (especially one as adorable as Wale) acknowledge how hard we work and how focused we are with our passions. It's about time he matched a picture with his words. I love the clarity and sincerity of the visuals in the video. Gotta keep this super brief, but enjoy!

Happy Thursday, Ambitious Girls. From me to you.

Watch the Throne: The Recovery

VOQ Friends & Fam!!!..it's been a mean minute. I've been busy running the streets, chasing dreams, and well....watching my own damn throne. Ha! When I found out I was going to be attending the most legendary concert of our time I KNEW I was going to do a post on my experience...I didn't know I was going to be so blown away by it that it would take me a week to collect my thoughts LoL but here's the run down...


Thanks immensely to a homie of mine, D. Fenelus (@dfenelus) I was treated as an early birthday gift to head to the IZOD Center last Saturday. As if the offer alone wasn't amazing enough, I almost passed out when I found out that he scored floor seats!!! My anticipation was through the roof.


Fast forward to the lights going out and the instrumental for "H.A.M" being cued...as soon as I saw Kanye in his ill ass graphic tee and leather kilt (LoL only 'Ye man), I knew history was about to be made. Hov appeared on his own LED-covered platform and it was just overrrrr for me. Seriously, the graphics, the lights, the lazers...just..brilliant.


As Sid mentioned, they not only performed all the hits off of the WTT album, but their own individual hits as well. What I loved the MOST was the energy and passion that Jay-Z and Kanye STILL have for songs that were created damn near a decade ago. I was close enough to see a genuine smile on Hov's face when he deaded the beat and just straight spit "Jigga What" like he was back in that first moment. That's love. & Kanye's witty breaks here and there were cool too lol...honestly,their years of friendship and appreciation for each other's genius was so evident on stage it really made you feel good to be a fan. <3


I could go on and on forever about how much I truly enjoyed myself. No gas, Jay-Z and Kanye are the kings. If you were not in attendance you are not allowed to argue. Lmao. Much respect to them for their vision. The show was a complete success in my opinion. Hov and 'Ye...thank you for your talent, your creativity, and your 3 rounds of  "Nxggas in Paris" before the show was through. Love, VOQ

-XO

Stage Flow! WTT Mosh Pit haha

Here's the link for another vid from the show...so close I could've been a backup dancer lol....Enjoy!           http://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?v=541377019314&set=t.610097330&type=3&theater

Jam of The Week: Meek Mill - I'm A Boss (Remix) ft. TI, Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, Birdman, Sw...

Now there is finally a remix and some of Hip Hop's heavyweights like Yeezy and TI decided to hop on it! Only fitting its a JOW!! #MMG #MeekMill #Philly

"...And their Eyes were Watching the Throne"

Mind Blowing. Phenomenal. Life Changing. Unreal. These are just a few words I could use to describe the concert I had the pleasure of attending this past Saturday. Kanye West and Jay-'s Watch the Throne concert at the Izod Center in East Rutherford New Jersey was simply exquisite. I owe it all in full to one of my close friends, Atterbury (@TheGrizzest), whom I've known since high school. He had a connect who was selling tickets and I leaped at the opportunity to get a pair. Mad my way to the concert and was BLOWN AWAY! Jay-Z and Kanye know how to put on a great show and keep the crowd live. Not only did they perfrom tracks from their collab release Watch the Throne but they did a hefty fill of their other hits as well. Kanye did plenty of hits from "Jesus Walks" to "Runaway". Hov really showed the extent of his catalog doing some classics from "Where I'm from" to "On to the next one". It truly was an enjoyable show. Easily the best concert I've ever been to. I have plenty of pics to enjoy and some video that I decided to share with you guys. Does'nt even do it justice but nonetheless, ENJOI!

Joe Paterno FIRED Press Conference

As all you loyal Bloggn' Out followers know I'm a very proud alumnus of Penn State University and remain an active contributor to the school and community whenever I'm in State College, PA. These past few days have been very difficult for me and the rest of Nittany Lion Nation in light of the Sexual Abuse scandal that has made both national and international news. Tonight the most troubling scenario imaginable that most of us in the PSU community feared came to reality as our beloved head coach for over 40 yrs, Joe Paterno, a legend, an icon was fired by the Board of Trustees along with the President of the school Graham Spanier. Stay tuned to the blog for more news and here's the actual press conference that broke the sad news. Regardless of whatever happens moving forward I will always love my Alma Mater and support the great Joe Pa! #PSU #JoePa

Jam Of The Week: Wale - Legendary

I'd be angry at myself all week if I didn't pick a track off the homie Wale's new album to be this week's JOW! Really track 1-16 there is no wrong answer but I decided to choose 'Legendary' becuz the purpose of his entire Ambition Movement is to challenge the current era of artists to be just that! Enjoy and once again make sure you cop this CD it truly is a work of art! #Wale #MMG #Ambition
