On Receiving
Good morning. Are you looking for advancement? Do you want a boost in life? Sometimes we need to check our giving habits. Are you an occasional giver? A systematic giver? A Tither??? Remember giving and receiving are one and the same. Giving is just receiving inside out. If things are held up in your life... Remember this principle.. Life gives to the giver and takes from the taker...

Doesn't get any better than this

Good morning. Many people miss life because they are waiting for something great. It only happens through small things: eating your breakfast, walking,,, taking a bath, talking to a friend etc. Small things are what life is made of. When you collect one pebble, it is a pebble. When pebbles are together, suddenly they are diamonds. That's the miracle of life. -Osho One pebble at a time :-)

U-N-I Interview @ Format Mag


Check out the U-N-I interview over at Format Mag!

Format: You guys mentioned A Love Supreme, is that the name of your next album?

Y-O: Yeah, it’s all produced by this producer named Ro Blvd. He produced “The Launch” off the Fried Chicken & Watermelon street album.

Format: Can you talk a little bit about the album?
Thurzday: Basically it’s just expanding our sound. A lot of people got good vibes off Fried Chicken & Watermelon, and we just want to expand that. Really show people what all we can do, and what else we can do before we go to an official release. We just want to gain as many fans as possible, you know, independently. It’s us working on our own and expanding on our own, basically. All of our tracks are produced by Ro Blvd. It’s really no other way to describe it other than an Aquemini-Stankonia feel to it. But it’s still U-N-I.

If you wanna bypass all that other sh!t and jump straight to the interview, it begins around the 26 minute 12 second mark.

EXTRA: Blue Scholars on Myx: Dig (VIDEO)

Blue Scholars- Comprised of emcee Geologic AKA Prometheus Brown and DJ Sabzi, this hip hop duo is raising awareness about issues that affect young people, especially those of color. Geo developed his lyrical skills as a spoken word poet in the Seattle group Isangmahal (One love) while Sabzi used his training as a jazz pianist to make beats. The two met in college at a hip hop event and the Blue Scholars were born. They have spent the last 5 years touring the country, performing at immigrants rights rallies, youth centers and colleges, encouraging youth to be informed about the world they live in.

Legalizing Graffiti


via lagan

The DC government spent nearly $800,000 removing graffiti in 2007, but this year there's $100,000 in the city budget to HELP graffiti artists produce murals - legally.

The city is embracing some young DC artists in hopes of curbing illegal graffiti-- but do graffiti artists want to be part of the establishment?
