Hey, ya’ll. Check out this dope video about my homegirl, Lady Alma. She’s been putting it in for years and is by far one of my favorite singers in the world. Check it out:
If you see anything with her name on it, scoop it up right away. You won’t be disapointed.
You can hear more of Alma on my new album where we collaborated with Shock G on a song called, “Light of Love”:

Checkout my homeboy Tajai on the cover of this week’s Bay Area Guardian newspaper on shelves now:
I get a little bit of shine as well in the article since our first record together, Projecto: 2501 came out on Tajai’s label in 1999. Definitely check it out. Tajai is one of the hardest working guys in hiphop, without a doubt. Check Tajai’s Clear Label Records page here.
Check out this interview I did over at the Wake Your Daughter Up website:
